Da Nang: Golden Bridge & Ba Na Hills Tour with Buffet Lunch

Summary

Walk Vietnam’s Golden Bridge, ride the cable car, taste local food

You’ll ride Southeast Asia’s longest cable car above lush forests, walk across Vietnam’s iconic Golden Bridge, explore peaceful gardens and temples with your local guide, and enjoy a buffet lunch before diving into Fantasy Park’s wild energy. With hotel pickup included, you’ll get both adventure and quiet moments you’ll remember long after the trip.

What’s the experience like?

We were already halfway up the mountain when I realized how quiet it got inside the cable car — just the hum of wires and someone’s kid whispering about clouds. Our guide, Minh, pointed out Da Nang far below, all silver and blue in the morning haze. I pressed my forehead to the glass (probably left a mark) trying to spot our hotel. The air felt cooler up here, almost sharp after the city heat. It’s weird how fast you leave everything behind on this day trip to Ba Na Hills from Da Nang.

The Golden Bridge was next — honestly, I’d seen photos but standing there is something else. The hands look even bigger in real life, all mossy and ancient-looking against that gold rail. Minh told us a bit about how it was built for luck or something; I only caught half because a breeze brought this smell of wet grass and flowers from Le Jardin D’amour nearby. There were couples taking selfies everywhere and one old man just sitting quietly on a bench, eyes closed like he was soaking up every sound.

After wandering through those French gardens (I lost count at five), we ducked into a wine cellar that smelled like stone and old wood — not what I expected in Vietnam. Lunch was a buffet spread with way too many options; I probably ate more than I should’ve. Minh laughed when I tried to say “thank you” in Vietnamese — definitely butchered it but he seemed happy anyway.

The Fantasy Park part surprised me most. It’s loud and bright inside — kids shrieking at dinosaur robots, teenagers daring each other on some 4D ride. We didn’t stay long but I liked walking through Fairy Forest just for a minute of quiet before heading back down by cable car again. The sun was already lower over Quang Nam by then, making everything look kind of golden for real. Still think about that view sometimes, you know?
