Golden Bridge
Building Pedestrian bridge supported by giant stone hands
At Ba Na Hills the Golden Bridge is a pedestrian span supported by sculpted hands; visitors reach it by cable car for views, gardens and staged viewpoints.
The Golden Bridge is a pedestrian bridge in the Ba Na Hills resort near Da Nang, Vietnam, opened in 2018 and notable for its design of a curved walkway seemingly held by two oversized stone hands. The structure was built as a scenic attraction within a mountain resort complex.
The bridge is a long curved walkway with balustrades and planted terraces that provides panoramic views over the surrounding forested slopes; it is frequently visited for photography and short walks. The bridge functions as part of the resort’s sequence of viewpoints, French-themed village and landscaped gardens and is reached by the resort’s cable car system.
The bridge was constructed as a modern tourist structure and opened in 2018 as part of the Ba Na Hills development; its distinctive hand sculptures were a deliberate architectural and promotional element.
The Golden Bridge is located within the Ba Na Hills resort on the hills above Da Nang, accessible by cable car from the lower resort area and the city.
- Access: The bridge is reached inside the Ba Na Hills resort by cable car; visitors typically combine the bridge visit with the resort's gardens and French village attraction.
- Visiting tip: Early morning visits reduce crowds and improve photographic conditions; the site is primarily a modern viewpoint and photo attraction rather than a historic monument.
How to Get to Golden Bridge #
The Golden Bridge is on the Ba Na Hills resort west of Da Nang. It’s about a 25-35 km drive from Da Nang city centre (roughly a 30-60 minute drive depending on traffic); many hotels and tour operators run shuttle buses to Ba Na Hills. Visitors park at the Ba Na Hills base and take the long cable car up the mountain; from the upper cable car station the bridge is a short walk (roughly 5-15 minutes) through the resort complex.
Tips for Visiting Golden Bridge #
- Go right when Ba Na Hills opens (weekday mornings are best) to enjoy the Golden Bridge before tour buses arrive and to get clearer views through the upper-lift fog.
- Access the bridge from the Ba Na Hills cable-car complex-your entrance ticket to the park and cable-car is required, so buy combined tickets or arrive early to avoid long ticket lines.
- Walk both directions along the bridge and to the adjacent viewpoints; people often take one photo and leave, but the view changes quickly with light and fog, so a short wait rewards you with different compositions.
Best Time to Visit Golden Bridge #
Best to visit the Golden Bridge during the dry season (late winter to summer) for the clearest views and drier access at elevation.
