During the planning phase of our trip to lớn Danang, Vietnam, the first place that my sister & I both wanted to see was the famous Golden Hands Bridge (officially called the Golden Bridge). The kinh doanh for the Golden Bridge has been fantastic with the epic drone videos (although drones aren’t allowed) and the Instagram photos of the two giant stone hands holding up the walkway.
What you may not have realized is that the ultra-hyped Golden Bridge is only a small part of the Sun World ba Na Hills theme park và resort. It’s called a “fairyland” và “heaven on Earth” due to lớn the cooler weather, beautiful views of the hills, low-key thrill rides, & entertainment.

3. Hire a driver. We contemplated taking a Grab car or having a driver. The price was similar to hiring a Grab car but we didn’t want to giảm giá with the possibility of getting stranded at tía Na Hills. (Note: There were Grab drivers hanging around in the parking lot during our visit.)
Therefore, we booked a driver two days before our trip via Klook. It was easy communication between Klook và me khổng lồ confirm our khách sạn location. Our driver was on-time for pick-up và was very safe on the roads. We communicated to lớn him when we were done for pick-up back lớn the đô thị center.

When lớn Go to ba Na Hills
We suggest that you visit on a weekday as it will be less crowded. Even then, there are thousands of visitors each day. Avoid the weekends và Vietnam holidays unless you lượt thích to wait in lines.
As with the timing, you can visit at any time of the day. As a warning, most of the tour buses arrive past 9:00am so the theme park is super crowded from the morning lớn after lunchtime.
If you’re only looking to take photos on the Golden Bridge with fewer crowds, plan lớn arrive between 7:00am – 7:45am. Therefore, you’ll need to lớn leave Danang between 5:45am – 6:00am and then take the trăng tròn minutes cable car ride khổng lồ the bridge. Or, you can visit in the late afternoon before sunset which will provide the “golden hour” glow in the photos.

What to vị at tía Na Hills
Here is our các mục of recommended things to vì in bố Na Hills. We didn’t get to lớn see everything as we stayed for half a day, so we look forward to lớn returning again lớn explore further.
1. Ride the cable cars throughout ba Na Hills.
The attractions are spread out between two main hillsides so everyone needs to lớn ride cable cars. The cable cars are sturdy & can withstand strong winds so you don’t need khổng lồ worry about swaying.
Currently, there are five cable car lines with more lines added to lớn the future. Each cable car can hold up to 10 people, so you’ll giới thiệu a car with other visitors.
From the Hoi An station at the main entrance to lớn the Golden Bridge, it’s a 20-minute ride. From the French Village lớn the Hoi An station, it’s about a 30-minute ride.
If you have the chance, take a cable oto ride from L’indochine station khổng lồ the Toc Tien Station at the main entrance. This line earned four Guinness World Records, including the “longest non-stop single-track cable car” in Vietnam. Another highlight includes seeing the incredible Toc Tien waterfall along the way.
There is an option to take a funicular between D’amour Station and Le Jardin Station. It makes it easier khổng lồ see the area after crossing the Golden Bridge, such as the Le Jardin d’Amour Flower Garden. Linh Ung Pagoda, etc. We didn’t have a chance lớn take it as we walked instead.
Look at the views when riding the cable cars at cha Na Hills!
2. Walk along the Golden Bridge.

Who knew that the Golden Bridge would boost tourism to this place? It opened in June 2018 và is located at an altitude of 1,414 meters (4,639 feet). The Golden Bridge is easy to lớn spot when you exit the station as there are two large stone hands holding the bridge right in front of you. The background of the stunning mountain landscape makes this an extra special place.
What surprised us during our visit was that the bridge wasn’t that long. If you didn’t stop by to lớn take photos, it would take about 2 minutes lớn walk across.
Tip: Since the bridge is a popular spot, you’ll need to be patient with taking photos at the right time. Stay assertive with your photo spot as groups of people will cut without knowing that you’re waiting or photobomb. You may have a few wedding photographers asking you khổng lồ move. Otherwise, visiting early in the morning or late afternoon will have fewer crowds in your photo.
While we’ve heard that people would visit the Golden Bridge & immediately leave, we think the other parts of the theme park is well worth the visit.
Going banana at cha Na Hills! Get the joke?
3. Take photos of everything.
Sun World bố Na Hills did an excellent job creating lots of picturesque spots. Once you leave the Golden Bridge, there are playful statues (more like the hands & heads popping out from the ground), painted staircases, & beautiful flowers everywhere. Around the Le Jardin d’Amour Flower Garden entrance, you can pose with an adorable cable oto topiary.

4. Wander through the Le Jardin d’Amour Flower Garden.
The Le Jardin d’Amour Flower Garden is one of our favorite spots at ba Na Hills. There are 9 different gardens that have different themes and architecture, such as the Love Garden, Memory Garden, Heaven Garden, etc. It’s the perfect spot for those who love colorful và well-manicured gardens. We loved the garden that had the giant peacock’s head with plants for its toàn thân and the main central garden that is also a maze.
While you’re in the area, stop by the Debay Wine Cellar if you want khổng lồ enjoy a glass of wine. Otherwise, it’s best to lớn skip this attraction. You’ll first walk through an underground wine cellar that was built by the Fench in 1923. The walkthrough looks lượt thích an attempt to highlight the process of winemaking but it’s a bit creepy and has a haunted house vibe. Luckily, the saving grace is that you end up at the restaurant to try specialty wines.
We loved seeing the giant peacock in this garden.
5. Visit the Linh Ung Pagoda to lớn see the Big Buddha.
Danang has three Linh Ung Pagodas – one at ba Na Hills, one at Marble Mountain, và one in Son Tra area that is also called Linh Ung Pagoda. We’re pleased to lớn say that we visited three of the Linh Ung pagodas during our trip! Here, you’ll find a huge Buddha statue overlooking the statue. During our visit, it was around Buddha’s birthday, so the area had streams of colorful ribbons surrounding Buddha.
6. Roam around the French Village.
Head back to the cable car station at the Golden Bridge khổng lồ go to the next destination – the French Village. While we haven’t been lớn France lớn compare the architecture, you’ll notice the European inspired facade such as the Saint Denis Church which is another hot spot for wedding photos. With the restaurants, stairways, and stores, the entire area is great lớn take photos.
The main area also has music and dance performances. We didn’t receive an entertainment schedule & couldn’t find one online. Whenever something appeared, we would watch the performance.
There are also entertainers taking photos with visitors. Kiểm tra out the invisible man or the person who looks lượt thích a statue. We couldn’t help ourselves & had lớn take photos with three women standing on stilts. They were so eloquent when they walked by and greeted guests.
Although not in France, you can also travel to Germany khổng lồ the Beer Garden & try beer và international cuisines.
7. Feel the need for speed on the Alpine Coasters.
Interested in riding an alpine coaster? It’s where up khổng lồ two people sit in a bobsled type of vehicle và get the opportunity lớn ride along the mountainside.
At tía Na Hills, there are two alpine tracks khổng lồ try this opportunity. Both Alpine Coaster 1 và 2 provide the same experience. If you’re short on time, head lớn Alpine Coaster 2 which is located nearby the Louvre Station. The line goes by faster as there is a double track. Alpine Coaster 1 is next to Fantasy Park.
We had a blast trying both of the lines. The best part is that you get to lớn control your speed with the brake levers. Push forward khổng lồ accelerate & pull back khổng lồ slow down. There are signs khổng lồ remind you lớn slow down around the curved areas, but I liked to lớn go fast down the curves.
Before you go on the ride, the ride representative reminds you khổng lồ not bump the person in front of you (it’s not a bumper cars ride) và you needed 20 meters (65 feet) apart throughout the ride.
Tip: Don’t forget to lớn smile for the cameras for the photo opportunities. You can purchase your souvenir photo as you exit the ride for 60,000 VND ($2.60 USD). Your photo will come with an online code so you can download an e-copy.
If you would like to ride another alpine coaster in Vietnam that is even faster, head khổng lồ Dambri Waterfall Tourist Area in Bao Loc.
Blaze down the mountain in your alpine coaster. (Not recommended khổng lồ photograph & drive at the same time.)
8. Play games and go on rides at Fantasy Park.
If you’re seeking games và low-seeking thrill rides, visit Fantasy Park, an indoor entertainment area. Many of the rides and games are included in your entrance fee.
We highly recommend the drop tower ride in the center of the area. You’re strapped to lớn a seat & the ride goes up và then drops back down. However, this ride is different than ones that we’ve been on as there are some unexpected twists when dropping down. The extra twists make the experience more thrilling.
Although we didn’t have a chance khổng lồ fully explore the multi-level area, we passed by the 3D & 4D rides & a Jurassic Park type of ride which looked interesting.
The Wax Museum is located in Fantasy Park. You’ll need khổng lồ pay for an additional fee lớn enter the museum.
9. Kiểm tra out the other spiritual attractions nearby the French Village.
If you want to see Buddhist inspired architecture, head lớn the various spiritual attractions behind the French Village Mercure Hotel. Vietnam has a high Buddhist population so it makes sense to have a spiritual attraction area for visitors to experience.
Check out the Linh Phong monastery & the Linh Phong Thin Tu Pagoda. You’ll get more incredible views of the hillside from the pagoda. You’ll also see a statue of Lady Buddha while you’re at the pagoda.
Tip: The walking path khổng lồ these attractions has a lot of stairs so it’s best lớn avoid if you have knee or leg problems.
If you bởi decide to lớn walk up và down the stairs, pay attention to lớn the amplified insect buzzing noises when you walk through the trees. We think the noises are from hidden speakers to provide more of an outdoor ambiance.
Here is Lady Buddha at the pagoda. You can also see two more Lady Buddhas in Danang – one on Marble Mountain & another in Linh Ung Pagoda at Son Tra peninsula.
10. Eat your way through the park.
The theme park has 14 restaurants with international cuisine that you can try. From French khổng lồ Chinese khổng lồ Vietnamese cuisine, you can eat your way through the park. Unfortunately, we didn’t try any of the restaurants as they were on the higher price – 250,000 VND ($10.80 USD) and above. However, you can save money by purchasing your admission ticket with a lunch buffet. The lunch buffets offer 80+ variety of foods lớn try.
You can also opt khổng lồ try the food from the outdoor vendors. In the Beer Garden area, there are several of these types of vendors. We saw a whole roasted pig on a spit and roasted duck. If you don’t know what to order, they have plates of what the dish looks lượt thích so you can see before ordering.
Where lớn Stay in cha Na Hills
A quality experience is khổng lồ stay overnight at the Mercure Hotel in cha Na Hills. Who wouldn’t want lớn stay in a European village?! The khách sạn rooms price is on the higher side as one night for two people starts at $120 USD, excluding admission cost. Check availability & reserve a room at the Mercure khách sạn here.
