The Golden Bridge Hands
Vietnam’s Golden Bridge is popping up on screens around the world. Two giant stone hands jut out of the mountainside appearing to cradle a delicate strand of gold that is now packed with eager camera-wielding tourists. The bridge offers breathtaking panoramic views of the valley below as well as the rolling Truong Son mountains. This architectural marvel is suspended nearly 4,600 feet above sea level and was built to entice more tourists into Da nang Ba Na Hills. Mission definitely accomplished.
Ba Na Hills
Sun World
This fairytale-like hill station is modeled on an old European city complete with castles, cobblestone streets, and beautiful courtyards. The complex also features Buddhist statues and temples built for entertainment only, which makes for a quirky combination of old East and West. To get to the top, visitors must ride the world’s longest cable car lift which offers spectacular scenery of the valley below. Temperatures atop the mountain are refreshingly cool and there are endless photo opportunities at this unique complex.
My Khe
Beach
The most popular beach in Da nang is also one of the cleanest and most beautiful. Clear waters lap the shore of a white-sand beach that is framed by picturesque mountains and dotted with umbrellas and chairs. The beach is also surrounded by restaurants offering fresh seafood and cold beers. My Khe is the place to try some adventurous water sports such as parasailing and jet-skiing or simply snap some gorgeous shots of one of Vietnam’s most gorgeous beaches. It’s best to visit My Khe in the morning or early afternoon to beat the crowds that pour in around 4 p.m.
Dragon
Bridge
One of Da Nang most iconic symbols, this intricately designed bridge depicts a fire-breathing dragon heading toward the East Sea. It won a 2014 Diamond award for Engineering Excellence and weighs 8,164 tonnes and stretches an ominous 666 meters in length. The bridge is best seen during a walk alongside the river after the sun sets as the bridge gradually changes color every few minutes. Not to mention it’s an excellent backdrop for a good Instagram pic.
Museum of
Cham Sculpture
Da nang Museum of Cham Sculpture houses the world’s most extensive collection of ancient Cham relics. Champa was an ancient kingdom that flourished in southern Vietnam beginning in the 4th century. The My Son ruins are the former worship grounds for the kingdom and is a famous tourist destination in the country.
