Golden Bridge of Vietnam: Visitors Are in Good Hands
Vietnam is known for its raw nature: beautiful mountains, tropical forests, clear beaches and bays. When it comes to an architecture, the country can offer a variety of it; from the ancient temples to the modern skyscrapers. Recently, one more architectural wonder was added to a list, and it’s already attracting visitors.
Located in Ba Na Hills, in Hòa Vang, on top of the Da Nang mountain, Golden Bridge was built in the spring of 2018. The pedestrian bridge stands 4639 feet above sea level and it is about 492 feet long and about 10 feet wide. The height of the bridge itself is 487 feet and it includes eight arches. But, what’s unusual about it, that it’s supported by two columns in the form of huge hands. Hands appear to be carved from stone, but, in fact, their frame is made of steel. They look, as though they were there since the ancient times; “overgrown” with moss and plants.
The place is surrounded with lush greenery and colorful gardens. And since it’s on top of the mountain, the temperature is way cooler. There are a cable cars, which take visitors to the top of the mountain and provide astonishing views.

UnusualPlaces Field Notes
- Location
- Golden Bridge (Cầu Vàng), Sun World Ba Na Hills, Da Nang, Vietnam
- Coordinates
- 15.99486, 107.99625
- Access
- Golden Bridge is inside Sun World Ba Na Hills; reach it through the resort, normally by round-trip cable car. The article pin identifies the bridge, not the resort ticket entrance. Check the daily cable-car/attraction schedule and weather notices; access or service can change with conditions.
- Admission
- There is no separate Golden Bridge ticket. Sun World’s 2026 price page lists a basic resort ticket that includes round-trip cable cars and access to the bridge: reference price VND 1,000,000 for non-local adults and VND 650,000 for Da Nang residents; children under 1 m are free. Prices and eligibility vary by category/date. The operator also describes an upgrade to a three-consecutive-day ticket requiring counter upgrade and FaceID before first entry; confirm current checkout terms.
- Time needed
- The operator publishes no separate time allowance for the bridge. The basic ticket covers a wider resort visit that can fill a day; time at the bridge depends on crowds and the rest of your Ba Na Hills itinerary.
- Best season
- Sun World does not identify a single best season for Golden Bridge. Ba Na Hills operates year-round, but mountain weather and cloud can affect views and cable-car operation; check the local forecast and the operator’s same-day notices. Seasonal ticket promotions are not a guarantee of clear views.
- Opening hours
- Sun World’s Golden Bridge attraction page lists operation from 08:00 to 19:00. This specific bridge schedule differs from broader resort or cable-car hours and may change for dated night events or operations. Check the operator’s current schedule and weather notice for your visit; these are operating hours, not a separate ticketed bridge entrance schedule.
