巴拿山与黄金桥

Ba Na sits on the range west of the city, in Hoa Vang, topping out at 1,487 m. It is markedly cooler up there than on the plain — which is why the French built a hill station here a century ago.

The way up is a cable car holding two world records. The Golden Bridge, a walkway carried by two stone hands, is halfway along the line and at its best before the cloud lifts: go up before 9am and you will still catch it.

The round trip takes a full day including transfers, so it belongs to the day before or after the four trading days rather than squeezed between them.
