Vietnam’s administrative restructuring has merged Quang Nam Province into Da Nang City, expanding its footprint to include wards like Minh An (formerly Hoi An). The district level has been eliminated, making Da Nang the nation’s largest city by landmass. Enhanced by sustainable infrastructure—cycling paths, electric buses, and a VND600 billion flood mitigation project (2024)—the city ensures easy access to Ba Na Hills and the Golden Bridge.
Dive into the misty charm of Da Nang Travel (Source: Source: Internet)Located 764 km south of Hanoi and 964 km north of Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang City is bordered by Thua Thien Hue, Quang Ngai, Kon Tum, Laos, and the South China Sea. Covering 1,283.42 km² (241.51 km² urban, 1,041.91 km² rural), it features a tropical monsoon climate with a dry season (February–August, 24–35°C or 75.2–95°F) and a rainy season (September–January, 18–30°C or 64.4–86°F), with peak rainfall in October–November (150–500 mm).
The city’s terrain, from the Truong Son Mountains (Ba Na peak at 1,487 m) to coastal plains, creates a dramatic setting for the Golden Bridge. The Han and Vu Gia rivers support its tourism hub status, while over 50% of the area is forested, enhancing the natural allure of Ba Na Hills.

This 150-meter pedestrian bridge connects the Marseille cable car station with the Thien Thai Garden and Le Jardin d’Amour flower garden. Suspended at 1,400 m above sea level, it offers panoramic views of Ba Na’s lush forests and misty peaks. The bridge’s standout feature—two giant hands crafted to resemble weathered stone—creates the illusion of a golden thread lifted from the mountains, earning global acclaim since its opening in June 2018.
