    Called the Da Nang Golden Bridge, it provides an infinite view of the mountainous landscape.

    The bridge is suspended 1,400m above sea level, including eight spans at a length of nearly 150m long. Lobelia Chrysanthemum is also planted along the pathway on the bridge, creating a focal point of colour, attracting the eyes of visitors.

    Reportedly, the bridge is part of a $2bn project to accommodate tourists in the area. Ba Na Hills is a hill station and resort, established by French colonists in 1919. It is close to the city of Da Nang and once held 200 villas, but today, only a few ruins remain in the area. Ba Na Hills now houses a Fantasy Park and a ‘French village’ with cobbled streets.
