It houses over 300 pieces from Vietnam&#8217;s indigenous Cham people from the Champa Kingdom. The sculptures date back from the 5th century to the 15th and I saw pieces depicting apsaras (heavenly nymphs) and the Gods Shiva, Brahma, Vishnu and Ganesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Across from the museum is the Dragon Bridge, the longest bridge in Vietnam, which gets illuminated in the evenings and even spits out fire at the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I then walked to Da Nang Cathedral which was built for the city&#8217;s French residents in 1923. It is the only church in the city and serves the local Catholic community of over 4000 parishioners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-4 is-cropped\"><ul
