You step off the cable car into a cool, thin air—pines and cloudbanked ridgelines framing a footbridge held aloft by two stone hands. The Golden Bridge’s bronze sweep curves 148.6 m above a steep valley while the Ba Na plateau unfolds in terraces of flower beds, French-style façades and old wine cellars.
