The Golden Bridge, built above an altitude of 1400 meters, is nestled among the clouds
I specifically arranged two days for Bana Hills during my trip to Da Nang, Vietnam, and even stayed a night at the Mercure hotel on the mountain.
One important reason was to avoid the crowds and take photos of the iconic Golden Bridge, which is located above an altitude of 1400 meters. It's a place that has recently become very popular online.
The Golden Bridge is situated just below the summit of Bana Hills, and the view from a drone is particularly breathtaking.

📸Photography Tips
1️⃣Best Time Slots
The Golden Bridge is always crowded. To capture it without any bystanders, there are only two ideal times: early morning and late evening.
Moreover, if the sunlight is good during these times, you can really capture the essence of the 'golden bridge', as its English name suggests
- 6:15 The first cable car has the fewest people and the best light
- 7:00 The second cable car, at this time there are not many visitors staying on the mountain
- After 8:00, large numbers of tourists start to arrive, and the light also becomes stronger
- Around 17:00 in the evening, many tourists have descended, and you can capture the sunset
2️⃣Choose Good Weather
The bridge looks completely different on rainy days compared to sunny days
The day I took these photos, it was as if Buddha's light was shining upon us, while some people online captured it looking gloomy or completely enveloped in clouds
3️⃣Top-down and Wide-angle Shots
These two angles are the best for capturing the Golden Bridge
The former requires a drone for the most shocking effect
The latter can be done with the wide-angle mode on a smartphone
4️⃣Attire
If you want to take portraits, it's recommended to wear slightly brighter colors, and dresses are preferred
🌿Surroundings
🔸After visiting the Golden Bridge, don't rush to take the cable car back; you can continue walking forward to the rose garden and the big Buddha, where you can stroll and take photos at leisure
🔸You can visit the French Village by taking the cable car back to the top of the mountain
🚠Transport
🔸You must take a twenty-minute cable car ride (the world's longest cable car) to the top of the mountain, then transfer to another cable car to reach the Golden Bridge on the next level
🔸To go up the mountain, you need to purchase a cable car ticket, which also serves as the entrance ticket. Guests staying on the mountain get a discount on the cable car ticket. There is no additional ticket required to visit the Golden Bridge
One of the most beautiful places I've ever been. Bana Hills is like a mix of Universal and Disneyland. It's overlooking. There are so many beautiful views that you'll be amazed.

Do not expect too much about this. For me, I don’t think it is the highlight of Bana Hill. However, it is a good spot for taking photo with a creative-designed bridge.
