Similar Tours
Overview
The Golden hands bridge now is a must see place in Da Nang and Hoi An generally and Ba Na Hills in particular. It’s one of the most famous bridges on our planet although it’s only reconstructed in 2018. This wonder has two massive stone-like hands holding a curved bridge that becomes golden in the sun. While standing in it, visitors can see all the views below, until the horizon. The meaning of the building literally is the god of the mountain giving a gift to the new guests, representing hospitality. It’s copied in many countries and still has inspired travel lovers worldwide. Sometimes in the day, the Golden hands bridge (and the hill station) is hidden in the clouds.
