A misting sea breeze meets the cruise terminal as the van threads toward Ba Na Hills, and the city of Da Nang unfolds—bright bridges, river curves and limestone silhouettes. On arrival the Golden Bridge rises like an improbable act of design: a 148.6 m walkway held by two enormous hands, hovering above cloud and pine. Walking it, the air seems to push and pull at the body, the forest below daring you to look down.
