Spend a day from Da Nang rising above the coast by cable car to the Golden Bridge, winding the scenic Hai Van Pass and finishing at Lap An Lagoon’s oyster farms. This private tour mixes engineered spectacle with coastal views and local culture.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step into the cable car and the city below thins to a ribbon of roofs and ocean. The car lifts you over forested limestone ridges until the Golden Bridge appears, a 148.6 m span cradled in two giant concrete hands that seem to lift the walkway toward the clouds. Visitors linger for photos while the high-mountain air cools and the valley exhales mist.
