About Golden Bridge Da Nang! One of the most photographed spots located within Ba Na Hills, Golden Bridge Da Nang is a 500-foot-long bridge with railings shining in golden color. The bridge has been constructed with such a design that it is cradled between two colossal hands. The hands are so big that they seem to be up in the clouds. Further, during rainy days, the clouds are covering the hands. The bridge is 12.8m wide with eight arches. The concept of the bridge was about walking across the hands of the God of mountains on the clouds. The Hand Bridge in Vietnam acts as a connector between the cable car station, which is located at the hilltop, and the Paradise Gardens. Further, the bridge gives you a perfect view of the Annamitr Mountains and the East Sea. I suggest you arrive early in the morning if you want an excellent picture of the attraction or get a photo of yourself on the bridge.

Either simulate the hand or stand inside it to show the magnificent perspective of it. Places To Visit While On the Golden Hand Tour! Based on my understanding of other people's experience of the place, you can visit the place either in the morning or afternoon. If you are hoping for foggy pictures or with the sun rising high on the clouds, go in the morning! Sometimes, you can also catch birds flying, which is a beautiful visual! However, if you are looking for more light, glowing sun in your pictures, you can go in the afternoon. The sunset is just perfect in the afternoon, with a romantic vibe.

Further, you gotta visit the Ling Ung Pagoda and the flower gardens. Weather Must Be Taken Into Consideration! Image Source : images.rove.me/ The Golden Hand Bridge has been constructed to be up in the clouds. It is, therefore, important to consider the weather when visiting the Golden Hand Bridge. According to a review on Tripadvisor by udontnomee3e, an overcast day is a bad day to visit the bridge! If the weather is rainy, cold, and cloudy, there is a high chance that you will not be able to enjoy the attraction or take good pictures. The issue, however, with it is that you cannot know what the weather will be when you go up from below because the weather is completely different! During bad weather, the visibility becomes terrible, and the steps become slippery. It isn't obvious because when you are on the ground, you will not realize the weather status on the bridge. At the top, it might be completely different! Highlight Of The Golden Hand Bridge! Image Source: d13jio720g7qcs.cloudfront.net The bridge has hosted a fashion show called "A Walk on a Cloud" fashion by the Fashion Voyage. It is a groundbreaking achievement, especially with the spectacular natural view and a harmonious blend of architecture. The bridge has inspired many designers from the fashion industry to create something that represents out-of-the-world structure. Many couples have done their wedding photo shoots, especially if the location has been accessible. Even though it looks artificial, the bridge is quite interesting in becoming a worldwide photography sensation. It is nothing close to Disneyland, but the amusement park in which it has been made has created quite a stir and an awareness! Accommodation At Ba Na Hills!

I am a travel freak, and I have traveled to a lot of places around the world. Since I am an Indian I started my traveling journey from India, every part of India has been covered. Even the remote areas that you won’t find on maps.  I am taking a break now, and right now I am at my aunt’s place, who happens to live in the United States. A week ago we visited the Grand Canyon East National park and now I am convinced that it is a well-known national park in The United States.  The place attracts millions of visitors every year, people from all over the globe come to see the mile-deep canyon that is 227 miles along with Northern Arizona. If you are interested in visiting the Grand Canyon East you should plan what you are going to do there, I mean like hiking, water rafting, or camping.  Apart from sightseeing, these activities are offered. And all of them depend mostly on the weather, so you also have to choose the right best time.  In this article, I will be giving you all the information and experience that I have gathered about Grand Canyon East National Park. Stay tuned.  The another national park is Kentucky National Parks In USA. Best Time To Visit Grand Canyon East The Canyon is divided into the North, South, West, and East rim. Here are some short details about them.  South Rim It is located in the Grand Canyon East National Park and is considered to be the most beautiful side of the park. The south rim attracts 90% of the tourists. The right time to visit South Rim is September, so pack some warm clothes.  North Rim Though not as beautiful as the south rim, people do visit that site too. The north side is known for hiking trails. So hikers, mark it. There is a large terrace overlooking the Canyon. The best time is early summer. The place is less crowded than the south rim, therefore during the peak season, the place can be visited. The North Rim is always going to be the cooler side of the Grand Canyon East .  West Rim  The west side has become famous because of its skywalk. The skywalk and Havasupai waterfalls are located there.  The perfect time to visit the Westside is Spring of course as a whitewater rafting trip, that mostly departs from the west rim East Rim  The east side is not much, though it has Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend that is now slowly becoming infamous.  Summer is going to be the best time to visit the East rim, but the summer is pleasant there.  Best Time To Visit Grand Canyon East National Park Here I am going to tell you the overall time that is suitable to visit the Grand Canyon East , National Park. You can also go here for solo travel.  Spring (March to May)  Spring and Fall are known as the ‘shoulder seasons’ and are the best time to visit the Grand Canyon East . During this season the crowds are less and the temperature as well.  Advantages The moderate temperature is suitable for hiking. The temperature gets high in the daytime on the South rim range about 50 to 60 degrees. The West Rim gets high about 70 to 80 degrees.  The peak season is suitable to visit because the crowd gets thinner. There is almost no rain during the fall. This season is the season when the wildflower blooms in the South and North rims, though it varies on the participation that falls in winter, still the view is something to hold onto.  Disadvantages  At night it gets cold with temperatures ranging from the 20s to 30s. The weather is always going to surprise you with late rains and snowfall.  The North Rim can be visited even when it’s snowing. Packing For Spring  Springs are unpredictable weather therefore here I made this list of clothes that you should carry  A pair of shorts. T-shirts. Pants.

Tourism companies are everywhere and many activities emerge due to the increasing crowd.  The North Rims stay open! The temperature is cooler than the other parts of the national park.  Disadvantages  The summer season is full of activities, even booking lodging gets tough, but if you are there do not quite like the crowd. Visit the North Rim instead.  Daytime temperature can be very hot in the South Rim and even hotter in the West Rim, and within the Canyon, it's basically boiling. Sun causes sunburns, therefore, applying sunscreen is a must. Even in the breezy days too.  If you are hiking, there are chances of you becoming dehydrated. Heavy rainstorms will appear but won’t stay for long. Packing For Summer  Tank top. Long-sleeved tee. Shorts. Pants. Waterproof jacket. Shoes and socks. Waterproof sandals. Sunscreen and shades.

Disadvantages  The disadvantages are exactly the same with the spring season.  Packing For Autumn T-shirts. Shorts. Pants. Light sweeter. Waterproof jacket. Scarf. Comfortable shoes. Anti sun cosmetics and accessories. water bottle. Winter (December- February)  Winter has the rumor to obstruct views but the fewer crowds and a snow-covered Canyon can be a peaceful time to visit. Advantages  Crowds are almost not here, here you have the chance to take the perfect photo and can book a  hotel if you wish to spend the night there.  Hotel deals are easier to find and cheaper. South Rim stays open because winter is good for hiking. Disadvantages  Snow in winter can delay travel and makes it difficult to hike.  The days during the winter become very cold and even colder at night. If you want to get warm head to the West Rim.
