Novotel Danang Premier Han River - Family & Business trip hotel - Da Nang Golden Bridge: The Iconic Tourist Landmark At Ba Na Hills

If you are looking for a famous place to visit in Da Nang during your Central Vietnam trip, the Golden Bridge is almost always at the top of the list. Set among the clouds and mountains of Ba Na Hills, the bridge appears to be held up by two giant stone hands. It has become an architectural icon closely associated with the mountain scenery.

Where is the Golden Bridge in Da Nang located? Why is this bridge so famous?

The Golden Bridge is located within the Sun World Ba Na Hills tourist complex, in Hoa Ninh Commune, Hoa Vang District, about 25–30 km from central Da Nang. The structure sits at an elevation of around 1,400 m above sea level and has a length of approximately 150 m.

Since opening in 2018, the Golden Bridge has quickly become one of Da Nang’s standout attractions and has been mentioned by many international travel magazines. The appeal of the bridge comes from its striking design, with two giant stone hands appearing to support the golden walkway amid the mountains and forests, creating a highly distinctive image.

When walking on the bridge, visitors can admire panoramic views of Ba Na Mountain, the primeval forest, and clouds surrounding the mountain peak. As a result, this place has become one of the most beloved check-in spots when visiting Da Nang.

The unique architecture of the Golden Bridge at Ba Na Hills

The Golden Bridge was designed by TA Landscape Architecture, with a structure approximately 150 m long, consisting of 8 spans, a wooden walkway, and gold-colored railings. The entire structure gently curves along the mountainside, creating a soft and graceful impression when viewed from above.

The architecture of the bridge, with the image of two giant stone hands lifting the bridge deck and details treated with a mossy, weathered appearance, makes the structure look as though it has existed for a long time in the forests of Ba Na.

This design concept is often interpreted as the image of nature supporting humanity. That very element has helped the Golden Bridge become a signature architectural symbol of Da Nang tourism.

How to get to the Golden Bridge from Da Nang city center

From the city center, the distance to Sun World Ba Na Hills is about 25–30 km. Travel time usually ranges from 45–60 minutes, depending on the means of transportation and traffic conditions.

You can refer to the following route:

Step 1: Travel from central Da Nang to Ba Na Hills

Visitors can choose from many means of transportation such as taxis, ride-hailing cars, self-drive motorbikes, shuttle buses, or Ba Na Hills day tours. The common route passes through Nguyen Tat Thanh or Dien Bien Phu Street, then continues along Ba Na – Suoi Mo Road to the entrance of the tourist complex.

Step 2: Take the Ba Na Hills cable car

After entering the tourist complex, visitors will travel by the Ba Na Hills cable car to reach the mountaintop area. The cable car system here has previously achieved several world records for length and elevation difference, taking visitors through primeval forest and valleys before arriving at the main sightseeing area.

Step 3: Move to the Golden Bridge area

From the cable car station, visitors walk through the Le Jardin D’Amour flower garden to reach the Golden Bridge area.

In addition, guests staying at Novotel Danang Premier can enjoy the WOW PASS offer when purchasing Sun World Ba Na Hills tickets directly at the hotel. This pass allows access to the priority lane when boarding the Ba Na Hills cable car, helping reduce queueing time during busy hours.

Ticket price for visiting the Golden Bridge in Da Nang

Visitors should note that the Golden Bridge does not sell separate tickets. The bridge is located within the Sun World Ba Na Hills tourist complex, so the admission ticket includes the full experience within the complex, including the cable car and the main sightseeing areas.

Below is the reference ticket price for Ba Na Hills (2026):

A Sun World Ba Na Hills ticket includes many experiences in the same day. After taking the cable car to the mountaintop, visitors can visit the Golden Bridge, take photos at the Le Jardin D’Amour flower garden, stroll around the French Village architectural area, or enjoy games at Fantasy Park.

Therefore, visitors should spend half a day or a full day to fully experience the different areas within the tourist complex. If you only stop by the Golden Bridge on the mountain to take photos, you may miss many other activities within the same grounds.

The best time to visit the Golden Bridge

You should visit the Golden Bridge early in the morning, ideally from the time the tourist complex opens until before 9:00 AM, when the area is still open and convenient for moving around and taking photos. The morning light is also softer, helping you observe the bridge’s architecture and the surrounding landscape more clearly.

In addition, late afternoon is also a suitable time if you want to take photos with softer light. Thanks to the cool year-round weather of Ba Na Hills, with an average temperature of around 17–20°C, the scenery around the bridge sometimes also features light mist, creating the feeling that the bridge is floating in a sea of clouds.

Besides the Golden Bridge, what other attractions at Ba Na Hills are worth exploring?
