Today the sun returned, so we took the short taxi ride to see the Lady Buddha. Built from 2004 to 2010 and 67 metres in height, the figure appears as a graceful woman, barefoot, in flowing white robes. The statue is a spiritual symbol of compassion, protection, and peace. The interior is hollow with 17 floors, each containing 21 Buddha statues. On a clear day you can see 5km across the ever growing city of Da Nang. There are also a number of pagodas, and some quite amazing Bonsai Trees. The only thing you have to watch out here for are the pesky little monkeys.
Last night w e visited the famous Dragon Bridge show this evening in Da Nang. At 9pm every weekend the dragon-shaped bridge lights up, breathes fire and sprays water. In Vietnamese culture if symbolises luck, prosperity and strength. It is a traffic and pedestrian nightmare, so you're unlikely you'll ever get a 100% good viewing spot. And the show only last ten minutes!
