Man wears raincoat to Dragon Bridge show<\/h2>\n
\n

A symbol of the central city of \u0110\u00e0 N\u1eb5ng, the Dragon Bridge<\/strong> is known for its iconic show where the dragon exhales fire and water through its mouth every weekend.<\/p>\n

Watching the show tops the bucket list for visitors in \u0110\u00e0 N\u1eb5ng, but it seems many people only know it breathes fire, but not that it also spouts water. As such, many unsuspecting guests have come away entertained, but soaked from standing too close to the dragon\u2019s water nozzle.<\/p>\n

Not this particular man, though. He was 100% prepared to witness the performance up close, while donning a raincoat<\/strong> to stay dry.<\/p>\n

Last weekend, Facebook user L\u01b0u C\u00f4ng Tr\u1ea7n<\/a> found his story going viral on several Facebook pages including Kh\u00f4ng S\u1ee3 Ch\u00f3<\/a> \u2013 a popular group that shares funny tidbits, and Y\u00eau \u0110\u00e0 N\u1eb5ng<\/a> \u2013 a fan page that promotes \u0110\u00e0 N\u1eb5ng.<\/p>\n

In pictures accompanying the posts, the young man stands out among hundreds of others visitors as he was wearing a raincoat even though the weather was dry and warm.<\/p>\n

The reason for his unconventional fashion choice soon became apparent. Thanks to his protective gear, the man was able to view the spectacular water jets from the dragon’s mouth up close, while others had to stay far back to avoid getting wet.<\/p>\n

Netizens find his creativity amusing<\/h3>\n

L\u01b0u C\u00f4ng Tr\u1ea7n\u2019s decision to arrive prepared entertained thousands of netizens. Many found his actions relatable, reflecting on how they were caught off guard the first time they saw the dragon ‘breathe’ water.<\/p>\n

Tagging a couple of friends, Facebook user Th\u00f9y Dung Nguy\u1ec5n<\/a> commented, \u201cI still can\u2019t stop laughing thinking back to that day.\u201d It seems she was referring to how she got sprayed with water while watching the Dragon Bridge show, as one of her tagged friends replied, \u201cLet\u2019s take a shower again next time.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the same situation, commenter H\u1ea3i H\u00e0 Tr\u01b0\u01a1ng<\/a> wrote, \u201cI remember getting soaked the first time I watched that show. I was such a chi\u1ebfc chi\u1ebfu m\u1edbi.\u201d <\/em>For context, the term \u201cchi\u1ebfc chi\u1ebfu m\u1edbi\u201d – aka \u201cnew mat\u201d – is a term locals use to refer to someone who’s ‘inexperienced’.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, netizen Hu\u1ef3nh Th\u1ecb L\u1ec7 Quy\u00ean<\/a> joked that the man probably shielded himself from the dragon\u2019s water because he was happy with his relationship status and didn\u2019t want a new partner. In \u0110\u00e0 N\u1eb5ng, rumor has it that someone who’s been sprayed with the dragon\u2019s water will soon meet their soulmate.<\/p>\n

Watch the Dragon Bridge show in \u0110\u00e0 N\u1eb5ng – raincoats optional<\/h3>\n
\n

The Dragon Bridge show commences every Saturday and Sunday at 9PM<\/strong> and lasts for 15 minutes. If you haven\u2019t had the chance to watch it yet, you\u2019ve now learned an important lesson to protect yourself from getting soaked.<\/p>\n

That said, if you don’t mind getting misted, feel free to turn up without a raincoat. It makes for a fond memory, especially if you have family or friends there with you. And who knows, you might actually meet the love of your life, if you haven\u2019t already.<\/p>\n

We wouldn\u2019t recommend it during cold winter days, though. Also, don’t get too<\/em> close as the dragon also breathes fire.<\/p>\n
