About Golden Bridge, Ba Na Hills
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.
