Golden Bridge & Ba Na Hills Private Tour with Cable Car

Summary

Private Day Trip: Golden Bridge, Cable Car & Fantasy Park

If you want cool mountain air, epic views from a record-breaking cable car, and that surreal moment standing on the Golden Bridge’s giant hands above the clouds—this trip is for you. You’ll get history, fun rides at Fantasy Park, and time to explore gardens and temples at your own pace.

What’s the experience like?

The air up here is different—cooler than the city, with a hint of pine and mist that clings to your jacket. We started early, leaving Da Nang behind as the road wound higher into the hills. Our guide, Mr. Hieu, chatted about how Ba Na was once a French retreat. He pointed out old stone villas peeking through the trees as we pulled up to the cable car station. The ride itself? Quiet except for the soft hum of cables and an occasional bird call below. You can see all of Da Nang spread out like a map when you look down—tiny houses, green fields, even the Han River glinting in the sun.

Stepping off at Dream Stream Station, we followed a path lined with wildflowers until suddenly there it was: the Golden Bridge. It’s not just gold—it almost glows against the gray sky some mornings. Those giant stone hands are even bigger than they look in photos; you can see moss growing in their cracks. I watched a local vendor set up her cart nearby, selling sweet corn and sticky rice snacks. We lingered on the bridge for ages—everyone does—snapping photos and just soaking it in while clouds drifted past our feet.

A short walk brought us to Linh Ung Pagoda, where incense hung heavy in the air and monks moved quietly between prayer bells. The Buddha statue is huge—27 meters tall—and locals believe it helps protect Da Nang from storms. After that, we wandered through Le Jardin D’Amour flower gardens (the roses smelled amazing), then let loose at Fantasy Park. Honestly, I didn’t expect to laugh so much at arcade games or try virtual reality rides with kids on school trips.
