    Did you know that Ba Na Hills is coined the “heaven on earth” because of its relaxing climate and stunning natural landscape? It’s not hard to believe that once you visit this destination during your trip to Vietnam! When you visit Ba Na Hills, you’ll be able to view and walk on the Golden Bridge, which is famously held by a pair of gigantic stone hands.
    With Klook, you can choose between two premium packages to ensure a smooth trip to Vietnam’s best attractions!

    Some quick facts about Ba Na Hills and Golden Bridge, Vietnam

    The Ba Na Hill station in Da Nang
    Ba Na Hills was originally developed by French colonists in the early 20th century as a hill station, but it’s now a prime tourist attraction. Photo credits to Mahmur Marganti from Pixabay.
    The Ba Na Hill station in Da Nang was founded in 1919 by French colonists. Since then, it has become a tourist attraction for both locals and tourists. The Ba Na Cable Car opened in 2013 and set the world record for the longest non-stop single-track cable car at 5,801 meters in length!
    On the other hand, the Golden Bridge in Vietnam is aptly named for the color of its gilded railing. It’s built 1,400 meters above sea level and stretches about 150 meters long. Although the hands holding the bridge were a choice made by architects, it’s meant to symbolize the hands of God pulling the gift of gold from the ground.

    Which package should you choose?

    While both are premium packages with car transportation and usage of the cable car, the difference is that the Ba Na Hills and Golden Bridge Day Tour package includes more sights to see, like L'Jardin D'Amour, Tinh Tam Garden, Linh Ung Pagoda, Loc Uyen Garden, Quan Am Pavilion, Fantasy Park, and Wax Statue Museum. These are all near the Ba Na Hills station, so you can make the most of your trip with this package.
    Alternatively, the Premier Golden Bridge, Ba Na Hills Day Tour with Cable Car Experience Package only includes Ba Na Hills and its Golden Bridge.

    Other than walking on the Golden Bridge, one thing to look forward to is the cable car ride throughout the area. You can see its forested hills from a sea of clouds and even some of its boulders and waterfalls. Keep your eyes peeled so you don’t miss a thing on this ride!
    Since the French colonized this area in the early 1900s, it still keeps its influences through its French Village in L’ Jardin and French Stable. With its architecture, you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to Paris!
    Of course, you’ll also see traditional Vietnamese architecture when you visit Linh Ung Pagoda, home to the 27-meter-high Buddha statue. You can also visit Linh Chua Linh Tu Temple, a nine-story pagoda with a teahouse that sits 1,487 meters above sea level. 
    There are many restaurants to try in Ba Na Hills, like Beer Plaza, Arapang, Lavande, and more! To get a view while you dine, Morin in the French Village has the best view of the mountains.

    Since the best time to visit Ba Na Hills is during the summer, it’s best to prepare for sunny weather. Be sure to bring sunscreen and a sunhat to protect your skin, as well as a pair of sunglasses, to take care of your eyes! Despite the sun protection, the temperature up in the hills may be a bit cool. To keep yourself warm, bring a jacket and wear a pair of long pants.
