Golden Hands Bridge is in Ba Na Hills, a theme park on the mountaintop in Da Nang Vietnam. Here, visitors will take the cable cars to reach it. One of them carries the passengers directly to the bridge, and it is shut down in some days during the month, for maintenance. Therefore, visitors have to take other cable cars. However, all of that cable cars go to the French Village, a different area to the Golden Bridge. No surprise that many people are confused and they don’t know how to get to the bridge from the village. Now, HoiAn Day Trip Company will tell you all the ways and the best one.

Mercure Bana Hills is a hotel in the French Village. From the foot of the mountain, visitors who booked a room here, will take the cable car from Thac Toc Tien Station or Champa Station.
