More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Mornings on the mountainside begin with a cable car rise through cloud and forest—cool air pressing against the glass as the coastline drops away and Da Nang’s coastline becomes a distant line. At Ba Na Hills, the Golden Bridge bows out from the hillside, its bronze hands holding the walkway above mossy slopes and mixed evergreen forest; tourists drift across, cameras raised, while gullies and limestone outcrops frame the view.
