No, the Golden Bridge is not on the Hai Van Pass. The Golden Bridge is located in the Ba Na Hills resort area west of Da Nang, whereas the Hai Van Pass is a separate mountain road situated further north between Da Nang and Hue (Lang Co). Therefore, these are two entirely different tourist destinations located in different areas.

Situated high in the misty heights of the Ba Na Hills near Da Nang, the Golden Bridge is a striking architectural marvel held aloft by two giant, weathered stone hands. Spanning 150 meters in a dramatic crescent shape, this pedestrian walkway seems to emerge like a golden silk ribbon from the mountainside. The giant hands, designed to look as if they are ancient stone ruins emerging from the earth, create a surreal and captivating aesthetic. Visitors walking along the bridge are treated to sweeping, panoramic vistas of the surrounding Truong Son mountains, lush emerald forests, and the sprawling coastal plains far below.
