Ba Na Hill is a must-see attraction if you are in Danang, Vietnam.
Ba Na Hill is located in Truong Son Mountains, 45 minutes by car from Danang City Center. This French-inspired theme park and resort is famous for its majestic pair of hands holding the Golden Bridge as well as the replica of a French Village and French gardens perched on top of the hill.

Golden Bridge

| Golden Bridge |
The most impressive sight would be the Golden Bridge. Famed for the pair of stone hands seemingly holding up the 150-meter long bridge, it had since become of of the icons of Danang. The best time to visit Danang would be from March to June. On rainy days, the mountains would turn misty and you might end up with a surreal view of the Golden Bridge in mist.
If you would prefer an English speaking guide with you on this trip, you could opt for
Ba Na Hills custom day tour.
