Golden Bridge Vietnam: How to Visit Da Nang’s Most Iconic Spot

I had seen countless photos of the Golden Bridge in Vietnam, but nothing compares to seeing this architectural wonder in person.

Hidden in the misty Ba Na Hills resort, on the top of a mountain not far from Da Nang, this breath-taking bridge looks like it’s lifted toward the sky by two giant stone hands. Since its opening in 2018, the bridge has become a viral sensation all over the internet. And once you’re standing right there, right on it, surrounded by all these fluffy clouds and endless green mountains, it’s quite easy to see why.

Here’s everything you need to know before visiting the Golden Bridge in Da Nang, from how to reach it to the best time to go.

Bukchon Hanok Village Guide & Map: A Living Story of the Joseon Dynasty (Updated 2025)

A long list of out-of-this-world things to do in Bukchon Hanok Village, Seoul, South Korea. Ready?

The ancient South Korean Bukchon Hanok Village is a rare time-machine neighbourhood. An attraction worth of topping any list of places to visit in Seoul. The village takes you back more than 600 years ago, to the ancient Joseon Dynasty era, while confining pieces of what used to be the lifestyle of the upper class of those times.

In all my travels, I have hardly ever seen such a surprising urban artefact.

Bukchon means Northern Village and it was called so due to its strategic position on the Joseon Map, north of Cheonggyecheong Stream and Jongno.

Traditionally, this was the residential quarter of high-ranking government officials and nobility. Even though some of the old hanoks have been modernized being transformed into the so called fusion hanoks, there are still plenty of well-conserved examples of art and architecture reminding of the ways old Koreans used to live.
