How Long Will You Spend at Golden Bridge?
Duration of your trip to Golden Bridge depends on many factors. It can be only 3 hours (including getting there and visiting), but also can be a full day if explore the whole park Ba Na Hills.
If want a half day trip only, make sure that the weather is no rainy/cloudy and you can go early in the morning or late afternoon. Taking a wow pass to skip the line will be very helpful in busy days, to save your time.
If stay in a far hotel like Banyan Tree Lang Co, Vinpearl Hoi An, Bliss Hoi An, Intercontinental Danang,…., the distance to Golden Bridge/Ba Na Hills will be long. Half day trip can be impossible, so think about spending a day instead.
For Hotel Guest
If stay in Mercure Hotel or/and other hotels in French Village, visitors will need 20 minutes to see Golden Bridge. Firstly, walk for around 10 minutes to Louvre Station, take cable car for 5 minutes to Bordeaux Station, and then 5 more minutes to go down to the bridge.
In some days, the cable car line from Louvre Station to Bordeaux Station is closed due to maintenance. With this situation, visitors need 20-25 minutes to reach Golden Bridge. The alternative line will be the one from Morin Station to Debay Station. Firstly, it takes 5 minutes to access Mornin Station from Mercure Hotel, and then 5-7 minutes for the cable car ride, 5 minutes to walk to D’Amour Station (train station), 2 minutes for the funicular ride up to L’Jardin Station, 5-7 minutes to walk to Golden Bridge.
