# Golden Bridge, Da Nang > The Golden Bridge is a 150 m footbridge held up by two giant “stone” hands at about 1,400 m, inside Sun World Ba Na Hills, 25 km south-west of Da Nang. There is no bridge-only ticket: you need the Ba Na Hills cable-car ticket, 1,000,000 VND. Open daily. The bridge takes 30–45 minutes; the trip takes half a day.

The bridge sits inside Sun World Ba Na Hills, by the top station of the cable car, so you buy park entry with the return cable-car ride. According to the official Sun World Ba Na Hills website it costs **1,000,000 VND** for adults and children over 1.4 m and **800,000 VND** for children 1–1.4 m and over-70s. **Children under 1 m go free.** Prices are seasonal — a Sun Group page quoted 950,000 VND earlier in the year — so check before you buy. The ticket covers the cable cars, the bridge, the gardens and most rides at the top. Food, the wine cellar and some games cost extra; the park itself is covered on our [Ba Na Hills](https://yesgo.io/vietnam/da-nang/ba-na-hills) page. Paying: book online through Sun World or a major booking platform with your card, or bring cash in VND for the counter at the base station. Grab to the base station can be paid in cash or by a linked foreign card. > **Expensive for the bridge alone** One million dong plus a taxi each way is a lot for 30–45 minutes on a bridge. It makes sense if you spend the day at Ba Na Hills — the bridge is included. Short on time or money? The [Marble Mountains](https://yesgo.io/vietnam/da-nang/marble-mountains) cost a fraction and are closer. ## How to get to the Golden Bridge 1. **From Bach Dang riverside at the west end of the Dragon Bridge**, take a Grab or taxi to the Sun World Ba Na Hills cable car station. It is 34–40 km by road, 40–60 minutes. Unofficially, a Grab or taxi runs 350,000–450,000 VND each way. 2. **Cheaper: a shuttle bus.** Tourist shuttles pick up from Da Nang hotels for around 150,000 VND return (unofficial). Ask your hotel the day before. 3. At the base station, buy or activate your park ticket — entry is by face scan (FaceID). 4. Ride the **Hoi An–Marseille** cable car: its top stop, Marseille Station, is the closest to the bridge. The ride takes about 20 minutes. 5. From Marseille Station follow the “Golden Bridge” signs — a few minutes’ walk. If that line is closed, ride another cable car up to the French Village and walk over following the signs. 6. Come down the same way; back in town you can still catch the evening on the river by the [Dragon Bridge](https://yesgo.io/vietnam/da-nang/dragon-bridge). ## What is the Golden Bridge? The Golden Bridge (**Cầu Vàng** in Vietnamese, often called the Golden Hands Bridge) is a 150 m pedestrian walkway on Chua Mountain, roughly 1,400 m above the sea. Its gilded railings curve over the forest, held from below by two enormous hands. They are not carved stone: a steel frame, wire mesh and fibreglass, aged on purpose with cracks and moss. Ho Chi Minh City studio **TA Landscape Architecture** designed it; work ran from July 2017 to April 2018 and the bridge opened in June 2018. The brief was practical — link the cable-car station to the gardens without a steep climb — but the photos of the hands in the clouds went round the world, and it is now the image most people connect with Da Nang. ## Is the Golden Bridge worth it? Yes — if you go early and stay for the day. At opening time, with mist on the slopes, the bridge is genuinely striking, and the cable-car ride up is half the fun. Go at midday and you share a narrow walkway with tour groups and wait for a clear shot. Be clear about what it is: a landmark inside a theme park, not a wild mountain spot. If you dislike crowds and resort-style attractions, or only have a few hours in Da Nang, spend them on the Marble Mountains and the beach instead. ## Best time to visit the Golden Bridge Arrive **when the cable cars open**: until about 9–10 am the bridge is quiet and the light is soft. Day-tour groups arrive late morning. Sun Group also suggests the late afternoon, roughly 16:00–17:30, once day visitors start leaving. The mountain has its own weather. It is much cooler than the beach and cloud can swallow the bridge in minutes. **March to August** brings clearer skies; **September to February** is the misty season — the hands drift in and out of the cloud, which is atmospheric but a gamble if you want the postcard shot. Bring a light jacket and a rain layer. For the classic angle on the hands, stand on the left side as you face the bridge from Marseille Station. ## What to see on and around the bridge - The **hands** — stop at the railing midway to see the fingers gripping the walkway. - Views over the forested slopes and the valley below — when the cloud allows. - The flower gardens next to the bridge, Le Jardin d’Amour among them. - The cable-car ride itself — about 20 minutes over the slopes. - The **French Village** and the rest of the park — see Ba Na Hills if you are staying all day. ## Before you go: checklist - [ ] Sun World Ba Na Hills ticket booked, or cash in VND for the counter - [ ] Leaving early enough to reach the cable car at opening - [ ] Checked the mountain forecast — cloud hides the view - [ ] Light jacket and rain layer — it is cool at the top - [ ] Comfortable shoes — lots of walking in the park - [ ] Ride back arranged, or Grab installed ## Golden Bridge, a full Ba Na day or the Marble Mountains | | Golden Bridge only | Full Ba Na Hills day | Marble Mountains | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Adult ticket | 1,000,000 VND (same ticket) | 1,000,000 VND | 40,000 VND | | From central Da Nang | ≈ 25 km, 40–60 min + cable car | ≈ 25 km, 40–60 min + cable car | ≈ 8 km, 20–30 min | | Time needed | Half a day with travel | A full day | 2–3 hours | | What you see | The hands bridge, views, gardens | Bridge, French Village, rides | Caves, pagodas, sea views | The bridge alone is poor value — if you go, make a day of it.

Searching maps or Grab, use **Ba Na Hills Cable Car Station** — “Golden Bridge” alone may not point to the base station where you board. ## Tips - Be at the base station when the cable cars open — the first half hour on the bridge is nearly empty. - Cloudy at the top? Wait it out: mist on the mountain often lifts within half an hour or so. - Going only for the bridge? Do the maths — 1,000,000 VND plus transport. Make a day of Ba Na Hills or it is poor value. - Children under 1 m ride free — child fares go by height, not age. - Pack a jacket: at around 1,400 m it is noticeably cooler than the coast, especially in the morning and the rainy season. ## Questions ### How much is the Golden Bridge ticket in Da Nang?

An earlier Sun Paradise Land page (also Sun Group) gave 950,000 and 750,000 VND — prices are seasonal, and we show the more recent figures. Free entry under 1 m comes from Sun Paradise Land and several guides. Cable-car hours differ across Sun Group pages (8:00–19:00, 8:00–21:30, 8:00–22:00), so we say only “from about 8:00” and mark it as checking; the 22:00 park closing is from the official site. Altitude: Vietnamese Wikipedia and Sun Paradise Land give 1,414 m, the official site “over 1,400 m”. Length 150 m per Wikipedia and Wikidata (Vietnamese Wikipedia also gives 148.6 m). Opening: English Wikipedia and Wikidata say June 2018; the Vietnamese article also mentions July. The Hoi An–Marseille line comes from travel guides. Grab, taxi and shuttle fares are unofficial. ## Sources - Official Sun World Ba Na Hills website (sunworld.vn) — ticket prices, address, park hours, getting there from Da Nang - Sun Paradise Land (Sun Group website) — guides to the Golden Bridge and Ba Na Hills prices - English Wikipedia: Golden Bridge (Vietnam); Vietnamese Wikipedia: Cầu Vàng; Wikidata Q55954790 - localvietnam.com, vietnamtourism.com and other guides — cable-car line, Grab and taxi fares (unofficial) - YesGo general facts for Vietnam — cards, cash and Grab --- This is the Markdown version of a YesGo page for AI assistants.
