The giant hand bridge in Vietnam is 150 meters long, consisting of 8 spans, and 5 meters wide, located at an altitude of 1,400 meters above sea level, located right on the Ba Na Hills resort in An Son hamlet, Hoa Ninh commune, Hoa Vang district, Danang city.
This Bridge designed by a group of authors Vu Viet Anh, Nguyen Quang Huu Tuan, Tran Quang Hung, Pham Thi Ai Thuy, Phan Thi Thanh Hien, Khong Minh Trang - TA Landscape Architecture Company (Architectural and Landscape Design Consultant Co., Ltd Thuy Anh).
Not only the form and shape of it are well-conceived, but the designers also want it to be connected with nature. The Vietnam hand bridge location is the connection of the real and the virtual world between humans and nature through a mysterious story about the land of the sacred gods residing in this place.
Although it was just opened in 2018, this place has attracted a lot of local and international tourists, many fashion shows, and wedding photography also take place here.
Once there, it will feel quite obvious that there are 4 seasons in the same day. In the morning, the weather feels like spring with the cool air pervading from the mysterious fog. At noon, it is like summer covering every corner but still, it is relatively cool. At night, it turns to be as cold as winter.
You can go to visit Ba Na Hill at any time of the year but the best period is from March to September. At this time the rain is less frequent and heavy, the weather is nice, transparent and blue which makes it very convenient for travel and taking pictures.
December or January are also quite good times to visit. If you come to visit from September to November, it is very likely to rain. April to August is the peak tourist season, so if you like to see the crowd, you can pick this time.
