Da Nang Ba Na Hills Golden Bridge: A 150m Golden Bridge Held Up by Giant Hands
On the slopes of Ba Na Hills, part of the Truong Son mountain range at an elevation of roughly 1,400m west of downtown Da Nang, you'll find a structure where two giant stone hands appear to be holding up a bridge. Opened in June 2018, the Golden Bridge (Cầu Vàng) is a pedestrian bridge about 150m long and 5m wide, built to connect the cable car station with the gardens atop the mountain. The hands cradling the bridge are made of fiberglass and wire mesh finished to resemble aged stone, designed by Vũ Việt Anh of TA Landscape Architecture. Ba Na Hills as a whole is part of 'Sun World Ba Na Hills,' a complex theme park operated by Sun Group, which includes not only the Golden Bridge but also a cable car, French Village, Fantasy Park, and other facilities. As of October 27, 2026, no closures, renovations, or suspension notices were found on the official website.
Who should visit, and under what conditions
The Golden Bridge is especially well-suited for travelers hoping to capture an unforgettable photo and those wanting to enjoy mountain views and cool air. That said, a few conditions are worth considering in advance. First, weather is a major variable. Clouds or fog often cover the summit area, which can obscure the view, so it's best to choose a clear day—or, on overcast days, to shift your expectations toward enjoying the bridge's architectural form and the walk itself rather than the scenery, which can reduce disappointment. Next is the time required. Ba Na Hills is designed so that visitors enjoy the cable car, theme park, and scenic routes together rather than just viewing the bridge and leaving, making it suitable for travelers planning at least half a day. If you're trying to quickly hit the highlights during a short stay in Da Nang, it's worth estimating your route and travel time beforehand. If you're traveling with someone who has a fear of heights or finds crowded photo spots overwhelming, planning your visit to avoid the bridge's busiest hours could be a good alternative. If traveling with elderly companions or young children, the cable car ride and physical exertion from altitude changes atop the mountain are also worth factoring in.
Visiting Tips
Since Ba Na Hills is structured so that you start at the ticket counter and cable car station at the base of the mountain and ride the cable car up, you should always check the official website (Sun World Ba Na Hills) for the latest date-specific information on operating hours, ticket packages, and cable car availability on the day of your visit. Prices and specific operating hours can change depending on the season and policy, so relying on past review information as-is may cause confusion on-site. Temperatures on the mountain are lower and winds can be stronger than in downtown Da Nang, so it's a good idea to bring a light jacket. During peak-season weekends or public holidays, cable car queues and crowds on the bridge tend to increase, so visiting on a weekday or in the early morning is worth considering as an alternative. If photography is a priority, note that the section where the bridge curves gently along the mountain ridge is good for capturing the full composition in a single shot.
