More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the cable car and the mountain exhales — cool mist clings to pine trunks and the Golden Bridge curves ahead, held aloft by two colossal stone hands that seem to pry the horizon open. Sound shifts here: the coastal hum of Da Nang drops away, replaced by birdcalls and the chatter of visitors moving through a French-style square that feels improbably alpine in tropical Vietnam.
