What it is
Ba Na Hills is a hilltop resort and amusement park 25 km inland from Da Nang, reached by one of the world’s longest cable cars. Its headline sight is the Golden Bridge, a curved pedestrian bridge held by giant stone hands, which floats above the clouds early in the day. Beyond it are a French-style village, gardens, a fantasy park and restaurants.
Tickets and timing
Entry is a single ticket (roughly $35-50 for adults) covering the cable car and most attractions. Go early: the first cable cars around 7-7:30 am beat the tour buses, and the Golden Bridge is clearest before late morning cloud rolls in. Weekends and Vietnamese holidays are extremely busy; a weekday, early start is the single best crowd tip.
What to expect
Expect a lot of walking, several cable-car lines and changeable mountain weather — bring a light jacket, as the top can be cool and misty. The Fantasy Park and Lunar Castle suit families; the gardens and Linh Ung Pagoda suit a slower visit. Food on-site is pricey; a half-day is enough, and the bridge itself is a 20-minute stop.

How do I get to Ba Na Hills from Da Nang?
