Seasons in Golden Bridge Ba Na Hills
Golden Hands Bridge is situated in Ba Na Hills (amusement park) in Da Nang, a coastal city in central Vietnam. Here, there are two distinct seasons in the year: the dry season from February to September, and the rainy season from October to late January.
During the dry season, visitors will see ‘4 seasons in 1 day’ at Ba Na Hills thanks to its high altitude (over 1,400 meters above sea level). In the morning, it’s sunny and the sky is clear, providing the best views and photo opportunities. Around noon, the temperature becomes highest in the day. In the afternoon, it may be cloudy and rainy, bringing a cooler atmosphere. When the night falls, visitors will feel a bit cold, reminding about the winter.
In the rainy season, Ba Na Hills is often foggy/cloudy and rainy. So, visitors need to check the weather forecast carefully in advance to find a day with no fog in the trip if possible. Between October and late January, typhoons may come to the area, causing very strong wind and rain in Golden Hands Bridge. The cable car can be stopped when the weather is really bad.

Peak Tourist Seasons in Golden Bridge Ba Na Hills
High Domestic Tourist Season
During the year, there are two peak tourist seasons in Da Nang in general and Golden Bridge Ba Na Hills in particular. In these periods, famous attractions are usually crowded.
The first peak tourist season in Golden Bridge Ba Na Hills is from April to late August when the weather is most beautiful in the year. During it, this place has lots of Vietnamese visitors. Because it’s always sunny, dry and clear, the views from the park are really awe-inspiring and the light conditions are nice to take photos. Meanwhile, all attractions will be open to explore and all activities will be ready for visitors to participate (including outdoor shows, amusement rides, festivals). Furthermore, thanks to high altitude, visitors will feel cooler at Ba Na Hills than anywhere else, making it an ideal place to go on hot days.
Between April and late August, local residents in Vietnam have two public/national holidays: the Hung Kings festival and the Reunification day. No surprise that Golden Bridge Ba Na Hills, a must see in Da Nang, are busy in these events. The first festival takes place on the 10th day of the 3rd month of the year in the lunar calendar. On the Gregorian calendar, it may lie in the second half of April. Vietnamese people will have 1 day (festival day) to rest or 3 days maximum if the festival day is Saturday or Sunday. Later, the holiday to commemorate the Reunification day on 30th April (when Vietnam was unified and the Vietnam war ended in 1975) will be longer. Right after it, there is the International worker’s day (1st May). For that reason, everyone in Vietnam has 4-5 days to rest or go somewhere.
Annually, from March to the Reunification day, there is a big discount for local residents in Da Nang and nearby provinces to buy entrance tickets. This is also one of the reasons why the period between April and late August is very busy.
Summer vacation of local students is the next reason to explain why Golden Bridge Ba Na Hills becomes crowded from April to late August. They don’t have to go to school during this period. So, their parents will take them to the beach or the amusement park. Da Nang has both! At Ba Na Hills, children may like fun rides and games at Fantasy Park, watching vibrant shows by foreigners, taking pretty photos at different spots, seeing their idols at wax museum or walking through Golden Bridge to admire amazing hands.
On the other hand, during June and July, Da Nang is the host of the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival (DIFF). This is the biggest one of its type in the country. In which, locals and visitors will admire spectacularly colorful performances of lights and music. Plus the vibrant atmosphere and numerous side events, days around the fireworks night are the nicest time to travel to Da Nang city. Therefore, no surprise, it’s crowded at Golden Bridge Ba Na Hills.

High International Tourist Season
Another peak tourist season in Ba Na Hills is from October to February. During this period, Da Nang city will see the largest number of foreign visitors in the whole year. Famous attractions have too many people, and activities and tours may be fully overbooked.
The biggest reason why Ba Na Hills is crowded from October to February is the holiday season taking place in many countries across the world to celebrate Christmas and the New year (like the United States, England, Australia, European countries). In Asian countries near Vietnam, workers also have holiday(s) during this period. Sure, Golden Hands Bridge is one of the places in their bucket list in Da Nang Hoi An.
Due to the rain and cold waves, the temperature of the period has become lower than earlier months and it’s the coolest in the year in Da Nang. Foreign visitors will feel more comfortable and pleasant while hanging out or traveling to stunning attractions around the area. At the same time, it’s frozen and snowy in many countries. By that, going to Vietnam is a good choice to avoid the cold winter, relax, and explore a new culture.
In the New year, local workers in Vietnam also have days off. Absolutely, they like going to Da Nang and then Golden Bridge Ba Na Hills lies in the itinerary. However, compared to the summer, the number of Vietnamese tourists won’t be too high.
Additionally, there are many tourist cruises docking at the area nowadays in the period, making the bridge and the park become busier. Number or cruise visitors is up to some thousands, and they often depart from Chan May Port or Da Nang Port (Tien Sa Port).
In February, besides Vietnamese people, visitors from many Asian countries celebrate the Lunar new year (called ‘Chinese new year’ in many countries). This is a good time for families to go somewhere.

Best Time of Year to Visit Golden Bridge Vietnam
The best time of the year to visit Golden Bridge at Ba Na Hills Vietnam is the dry season, particularly from February to September. During this period, it’s always sunny, dry, and the chance of rain is low. For that reason, getting there by cable car is smooth and safe. On the bridge, visitors will stroll along a dry deck, enjoy an extremely cool and fresh breeze as well as a breath-taking panoramic view to the city (with untouched forests, blue mountains, rolling hills, rivers, lakes, farm lands, the sea, villages, rice fields, islands,…). Additionally, there are many good opportunities to take beautiful pictures as well.
On a sunny day, visitors can fully explore Ba Na Hills, the amusement park where the Golden Bridge is located. The ticket price includes the bridge, the cable car to it, and many other attractions and activities. For children, that will be nice for them to spend time for roller coasters and other amusement rides, or watching fascinating shows.
In the dry season, visitors can choose to visit Golden Bridge Ba Na Hills anytime during the day (maybe don’t have to check the weather forecast). Before the sun goes down, watching the sunset here is truly a stunning experience. Of course, it’s possible to have great pictures then. When the night falls, visitors can go to French Village, which is worth visiting (take the cable car from Bordeaux Station near the bridge to get there). This village which has a church, castles and French-style buildings, becomes so romantic and attractive thanks to lamps. At nearby Beer Plaza, it’s possible to see a food court selling barbecues and craft beers, and also a buffet dinner restaurant with live music.
