Beyond the Golden Bridge: A Central Vietnam Tour Itinerary of Top Things to Do
When travelers think of Vietnam today, the image of two giant stone hands lifting a shimmering thread of gold above the clouds often comes to mind. But while the Golden Bridge is a modern marvel, it is only the gateway to a region steeped in thousands of years of history.
To truly experience the soul of the country, your Central Vietnam Tour Itinerary must venture further. From the imperial grandeur of Hue to the lantern-lit magic of Hoi An, this region offers a perfect blend of old-world charm and modern wonder.

Your journey likely begins in
-
Sun World Ba Na Hills: This is where you’ll find the famous Golden Bridge. Beyond the photos, spend time exploring the French Village and the Debay Wine Cellar.

The Marble Mountains: A cluster of five limestone hills named after the five elements. Climbing the stone steps to discover hidden caves and ancient Buddhist pagodas is a "must-do" on any Central Vietnam Tour Itinerary.
-

Ancient Town Walk: Wander past yellow-walled houses, the Japanese Covered Bridge, and centuries-old assembly halls.
-
Tailoring and Handicrafts: Hoi An is world-famous for its "fast fashion"—not the disposable kind, but high-quality, custom-made suits and silk dresses created in as little as 24 hours.
-
Lantern Boat Rides: As night falls, hop on a small wooden boat to release a paper lantern into the Hoai River, making a wish for good fortune.
