In fact this golf course was awarded as the Best Golf Course in Asia twice by World Golf Awards. Whether you are a beginner or expert, this place is sure to leave you wanting for more.
Visit the Golden Bridge
A visit to King Peak is incomplete without visiting the Golden Bridge. This is one of the most iconic attractions in Ba Na Hills and is 150 metres long. The bridge is supported by two massive stone hands and is located 1000 metres above sea level. We recommend visiting this place early in the morning, especially when the clouds are present. This is because you will get a feeling that you are floating in the sky.
Visit the French village
Ba Na Hills was once developed by the French when Vietnam was a French colony. So a majority of the architecture here continues to have its European influences. Locals call it a mini Europe in the heart of Da Nang and comes with replicas of churches, shops, and hotels. The entire village is so photography worthy, so make sure you get yourself clicked when in the French Village.
