<\/a>Quick info about Da Nang Golden Bridge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"about<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that, although you might\u2019ve seen countless gorgeous pictures of this bridge online before, this attraction is actually pretty new? The Golden Bridge (also known as Cau Vang) has become one of the top tourist destinations in Vietnam, even though it was only opened in June 2018. The Golden Bridge and its two giant hands have been on the top of social media platforms ever since it was constructed, which has brought tens of thousands of visitors over the years. Why, though?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what\u2019s so special about this bridge, after all?<\/h3>\n\n\n

I mean\u2026 you must look at the pictures to understand! The bridge\u2019s structure is impressive – and that\u2019s not an overstatement at all, considering the construction only took 1 year to complete. Two giant hands that seem carved in gorgeous stone (they\u2019re actually made of metal and fiberglass) suspend a beautiful, gold railing frame – a pedestrian bridge among the lush Ba Na Hills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bridge is 150 metres long and it is suspended at 1.400 metres above sea level. If you visit the bridge very early in the morning, you\u2019ll see it\u2019s surrounded by thick fog and golden light, making for unique photo opportunities\u2026 but you\u2019ll find more details about When to visit in this special section<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Is there a story behind it?<\/h3>\n\n\n
\"Sun<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The bridge was designed as the newest addition to the Sun World Resort, an interesting entertainment complex at Ba Na Hills. The aim was to create a symbol of Da Nang tourism – and, if you ask me, the entire idea was an immense success. So successful that it actually got plenty of rewards at multiple architecture contests worldwide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think that one of the best things about this bridge is the fact that it combines both architecture and nature in a really harmonious way. And the striking contrast between the stone hands and the elegantly curved bridge is also something to remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Where is the bridge located?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Okay, enough with admiring the Golden Bridge from an ever-romantic point of view (guilty!), let\u2019s get to some practical information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I mentioned before, the Golden Bridge is at the top of Ba Na Hills. More specifically, it\u2019s in the Thien Thai Garden at Sun World.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>The catch: Sun World Resort at Ba Na Hills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ba<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the catch: because the Golden Bridge is part of this big entertainment complex, it can only be accessed through Sun World<\/a>, a theme park resort built to resemble a European village during the French Renaissance era. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll need to pay quite a high entrance fee<\/strong> considering that most visitors solely come to the park to see the Golden Hands Bridge. However, tickets cover the entrance to all areas of the park (and they do offer a lot of attractions!), if that is something that interests you. The park has quite a few zones, so you could choose to spend a whole day here if you wanted to explore and participate in the activities they offer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
