The Golden Bridge at Ba Na Hills: Your Fun Guide to Vietnam’s Coolest Spot

Picture standing on the Golden Hand Bridge, held up by two giant stone hands in the middle of misty mountains. That is the Golden Bridge at Ba Na Hills, the number one landmark in Vietnam! Millions of people visit every year, and it gets everyone talking! So, what's all the fuss about? I am a travel enthusiast here at VIET DOVE Travel, and I have visited this amazing site numerous times. I am thrilled to share with you Bana Hills Golden Bridge tour from Da Nang: Your Fun Guide to Vietnam’s Coolest Spot. So, let's jump in to discover why you should check out this bridge!

Giant Hands and a Golden Path: Nature’s Big Hug

The Golden Bridge has a quality of being very fairy tale-like. Walking at 1,414 meters above sea level on a golden path supported by two massive stone hands, the first time I stood there, clouds floated around me, a cool breeze blew over my face and I felt I was in some magical mystery place ("Harry Potter" or something). It is more than just a bridge, it provides a sense of being closer to nature.

Those giant hands make you feel like Mother Nature is lifting you, especially with that peacefulness and sense of nature wrapping you up in a giant hug that makes you happy and feel relaxed. If kind of person who likes mysterious stories like "Harry Potter" or "The Lord of the Rings", you will experience what the designer and architect Vu Viet Anh said he had in mind for his inspiration to create the area (a type of Fairy-Tale vision!).

Wouldn't that be cool to experience those same feelings? You can! Just join a Full-day private Ba Na Hills tour that includes a visit to the Golden Bridge for a fabulous day out!

How the Golden Bridge Was Born

In 2017, the directors and owners of Ba Na Hills invited people all over Vietnam to a "best idea" competition. The Golden Bridge emerged victorious! Within a year, the managers had constructed the bridge, and by 2018, it was a superstar. The bridge is on the map, and everyone in Vietnam follows the Golden Bridge developments with pride. Thank you, architect Vu Viet Anh, for making my dream a reality.

Do you want to explore it? A Ba Na Hills tour from Hoi An is a fantastic way to visit the Golden Bridge, and it's super easy from your hotel to Ba Na.

A Record-Breaking Superstar

The Golden Bridge isn’t just beautiful, it’s a world champion! In 2018, a major British article called it one of the “Top 10 Unique Bridges in the World,” and it doubled the number of visitors to Ba Na Hills. Pretty incredible, huh? In 2021, Daily Mail branded it number one for their “Top 10 New Wonders of the World” voted on by young people.

And then it doesn’t stop there! From 2020 to 2023, it won a World Travel Award for four years in a row. Like, wow, this bridge is a superstar! You can visit it with a Ba Na Hills tour from Da Nang and see for yourself how popular it is!

Tips for the Best Photos

Want to take the best Golden Bridge photo?

I’ve got you covered! My tip would be to go early in the morning or at lunchtime, as these are the quieter times. Try standing at either end of the bridge to include both giant hands in the photo, as this is the best angle! I once spent an hour just taking photos on the bridge as the view was so nice.
