The day begins before sunrise as a private SUV slips out of Da Nang toward the cool, mist-swept slopes of Ba Na Hills. Cable cars climb above rice terraces and low cloud, depositing visitors on a ridge where a pair of giant concrete hands lift a golden span into the sky — the Golden Bridge — its metal rail warm under quick, bright sun.
