The Golden Bridge, opened in 2018 within the Ba Na Hills resort above Da Nang, is a roughly 150 m pedestrian bridge that appears to be cradled by two enormous, moss-covered stone hands, creating one of the most photographed and talked-about structures to emerge in Vietnam in recent years. Set at around 1,400 m altitude, the golden-hued bridge offers sweeping views over the forested mountains and valleys below.
Reaching the Golden Bridge is part of the experience, via one of the world's longest non-stop cable car systems, which climbs through cloud forest to the Ba Na Hills resort, a sprawling complex that also includes a French-village-themed area, gardens and an amusement park. The combination of the dramatic bridge, the cable car journey and the resort's quirky European-style architecture makes Ba Na Hills one of central Vietnam's most popular day trips.
Ba Na Hills suits families, couples, groups and photographers, for a visit of half a day to a full day. A single ticket typically covers the cable car ride and entry to the resort's various attractions, including the Golden Bridge, gardens and amusement park.
The mountain altitude means the weather can be noticeably cooler and foggier than in Da Nang below, so checking visibility conditions and bringing a light layer is worthwhile.
