Golden Bridge features in Da Nang's Best in Travel on 24 September
Published on 09/27/2026 at 12:27 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
On 24 September 2026, Lonely Planet selected Da Nang for its Best in Travel 2027 list with Golden Bridge as the feature image, placing the Vietnamese landmark in a fresh international travel story. The bridge, known locally as C?u Vàng, is at Sun World Ba Na Hills west of the city.
The announcement gives English-speaking travellers a timely reason to place the mountain attraction alongside Da Nang’s beaches, food and heritage connections when considering trips for 2027.
Golden Bridge features in the Best in Travel 2027 announcement
The annual Best in Travel 2027 selection names 50 destinations and experiences chosen by Lonely Planet writers and editors. Da Nang was the only Vietnamese destination in the selection reported on 24 September 2026, while the Golden Bridge appeared on the official announcement page as its leading visual.
The 24 September announcement also connected the landmark with Sun World Ba Na Hills in Lonely Planet’s suggested three-day itinerary. The guide recommends exploring the mountaintop resort, including the French Village, waterfalls, entertainment areas and architectural landmarks, and mentions the possibility of visiting the bridge early in the morning.
A 150-metre walkway above Da Nang
The structure is a 150-metre (492 ft) pedestrian walkway supported visually by two large stone-coloured hands. It was built in 2017 and 2018 and opened to the public in June 2018, according to VietnamPlus. The walkway sits in the mountainous Ba Na Hills resort, where the surrounding attractions form part of the wider visit rather than a separate city-centre landmark.
The bridge’s position explains the connection between the new travel recognition and the practical journey. Lonely Planet’s Da Nang guide identifies Ba Na Hills as the home of the walkway, while the 24 September announcement places that resort at the start of its suggested itinerary. The feature image therefore points travellers towards a mountain visit beyond the coastal centre, not a riverside bridge in Da Nang.
