Golden Bridge is a pedestrian bridge which doesn’t cross any rivers.

Not just the length or the steepness, the cable car to Golden Bridge Vietnam is also a fascinating journey. During it (20-30 minutes), the glass cabin allows visitors watching the beautiful landscape at all directions. The view to the city and the sea is breath-taking, showing small hills, villages and farmlands along meandering rivers. Below the cable car, there is a well-protected nature reserve which boasts untouched dense rainforests, white-water waterfalls, rocky streams, majestic outcrops rising above the jungle, and diverse widlife. In further distances, unbroken chains of blue mountains also stand out (including Bach Ma national park, Hai Van pass). In many days of the year, it’s cloudy at the mountain, and by that, visitors will ‘fly’ through clouds to reach the bridge.
