Ba Na Hills and the Golden Bridge: tickets, opening hours and tours from Da Nang

How to choose a format

Ba Na Hills (Bà Nà, which tourists also call “Bana Hills”) is a mountain resort twenty-five kilometres from Da Nang, which people have shortened to two words: “the Golden Bridge”. It is for the two giant stone hands that hold the Cau Vang (Cầu Vàng) pedestrian bridge that people come here. But the resort is more than one shot: a French village with a “medieval” cathedral, gardens, the Debay wine cellar and the indoor Fantasy Park amusement park, where you can spend a rainy hour when it is foggy at the top.

Tickets, price and how to get up the mountain without queues

The ticket is a single one: it includes the cable car both ways, entry to the grounds, the Golden Bridge, the French Village, the gardens and Fantasy Park. Food, souvenirs and a few paid attractions are paid separately. Children shorter than about a metre usually enter for free, and teenagers pay the child rate by height. The official adult price is given on the website of the operator, Sun World Ba Na Hills, and in the catalogue below you can book a ticket online for the date you need and pay by Russian card in roubles: at the turnstile it is enough to show the QR code.

The queues are created not by the ticket offices but by the cable car and the bridge itself. Bus groups from Da Nang and Hoi An reach the Suoi Mo station at 9–10 am, and by noon there is a dense crowd on the bridge. Those who win are the ones who arrive at opening, go straight up to the Golden Bridge, and leave the French village and gardens for later. The second option is to go up after 15:00, when the morning groups are coming down, but then fog more often covers the view.

How to get there from Da Nang and Hoi An

• From Da Nang on your own. It is about 40–50 minutes by taxi or Grab to the lower cable car station. For the return you call a Grab car from the car park by the station; at peak time, around 16–17 hours, the wait is longer.
• From Hoi An. The journey takes about an hour to an hour and a half. It is cheapest as part of a group tour where the transfer is included, and in the evening you are taken back to your hotel.
• From a resort by My Khe beach. Many My Khe beach hotels organise a shuttle towards the mountain; ask at reception.
• In winter and the rainy season. The cable car may stop in strong wind. In fog and rain you cannot see the bridge at the top, so check the forecast the day before your trip.

What is where: a route by zone

The first cable car line from Suoi Mo holds world records for length and height difference: almost 5.8 kilometres of climb, which takes about 15–20 minutes, with views of the jungle and waterfalls. At the top you are met by the Le Jardin d’Amour zone with flower gardens, then you go on foot and by lift to the Golden Bridge, about 150 metres long. Nearby are the Linh Ung pagoda and a huge Buddha statue, then the French Village with its square, cafes and evening shows, and off to the side Fantasy Park, where it is cold but dry. The Debay wine cellar is also inside the hill, at +15 degrees, and it is better to go there in a jacket.

Allow 5–6 hours for the whole route. If you left the city at 8 am, you will be back around 15–16 hours, or after 20:00 with the evening programme.

Restrictions and tips

• Dress for the weather. It is cooler on the mountain than by the sea, and it often drizzles. Bring a windbreaker and shoes with a good tread. At the Linh Ung pagoda shoulders and knees must be covered.
• Drones and tripods. Drones are banned, and with a heavy tripod on the bridge you will have problems: the walkway is narrow, and staff will hurry you.
• Best time. February to August gives more clear days. From September to December typhoons and rains come to the central coast, and fog stands on the mountain for weeks.
• Weekends and holidays. On Saturdays, Sundays and Vietnamese holidays (30 April – 1 May, 2 September, Tet) the cable car queues are many times longer. Book for a weekday.
• Passport. The document is not checked at the entrance, but it is needed for booking a tour and transfer: take at least a copy.
• Which format to choose. An independent trip is more economical for two to four people, and a group tour for solo travellers. An excursion in Russian with an extra hour for explanations is worth it if you travel with children and want to hear the history of the resort.
