Visiting the Golden Bridge at Ba Na Hills: Drive Times and Where to Check Hours and Tickets

Table of Contents (2 sections)
The Golden Bridge is a pedestrian bridge about 150 m long, opened in June 2018 at an altitude of about 1,414 m inside Sun World Ba Na Hills, linking the cable car station with the resort’s gardens (Wikipedia). From Da Nang, the rate table lists the route to Ba Na Hills at about 35 km and 45 minutes.
The base price includes fuel, road tolls and parking on the listed route. This route entry is priced one way.
Times from three starting points
The rate table has three entries to Ba Na Hills, used as guides:
- Da Nang: about 35 km, 45 minutes.
- Da Nang Airport: about 35 km, 50 minutes.
- Hoi An: about 55 km, 1.2 hours.
These figures cover only the drive to the resort area. The time from the foot of the mountain up to the Golden Bridge by cable car, and the time queuing, are not in the rate table; check cable car hours, tickets and the state of the areas on the mountain on the official Sun World Ba Na Hills website for your date.
Choose an arrival time from what you can check
Weather on the mountain can differ from the foot, and crowds vary by day, so this guide does not claim that morning or afternoon is quieter. The practical approach is to check the cable car opening time and the forecast for your date, then work back from there: the time you want to reach the cable car station minus the driving time in the list above, plus a margin for parking and buying tickets.
Where a car may stop at the resort is set by the resort; cars can enter the gates of hotels and resorts to pick you up where you stay. If you want to combine Ba Na with Hoi An in one day, see the guide to planning a Ba Na Hills trip from Hoi An or Da Nang; the route itself is on the private car from Da Nang to Ba Na Hills page.
