After a mesmerizing adventure in Ha Long Bay, our next destination was Moc Chau Town, home to the world’s largest glass-bottomed bridge, Bach Long Glass Bridge. We set off the next morning in a private six-seater car, even though I was feeling a bit under the weather with a slight fever and chills. However, there was no way I could miss the chance to walk across this iconic bridge! Our itinerary for the day included:
- Dai Yem Waterfall
- Tea Hills & Orange Gardens
- Bach Long Glass Bridge
- Muong Moc – The Cave
Our journey began with a stop at the enchanting Dai Yem Waterfall.
Dai Yem Waterfall
Dai Yem Waterfall is truly a place that leaves you speechless. Nestled within Mộc Châu’s lush green landscape, this hidden gem feels like something straight out of a dream. The water cascades beautifully over two tiers, and after rainfall, the entire scene is even more magical with moss-covered rocks and rich greenery all around. The cool mist hits your face, making everything feel calm and refreshing. It’s a peaceful retreat, a moment where you can fully immerse yourself in Vietnam’s natural splendor. Believe me, this experience is one you won’t soon forget!
Where is Dai Yem Waterfall?
Hidden away in the tranquil mountains of Mộc Châu, about 200 kilometers from Hanoi, Dai Yem Waterfall is like a secret oasis waiting to be discovered. The surrounding valleys and towering hills create an atmosphere that feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle of city life. If you’re making your way to Mộc Châu, this waterfall should be at the top of your list. It’s a serene escape into nature, perfect for those magical, unforgettable moments.

We arrived in the morning, and it was simply perfect—cool, quiet, and peaceful. The waterfall is open to visitors from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, giving you plenty of time to soak in its beauty. I’d recommend going early to enjoy the tranquil morning light before the crowds arrive. Be sure to double-check any local updates on opening times before heading out.

Tea Hills & Orange Gardens
On the way to Dai Yem Waterfall, we passed through the Tea Hills and the Orange Gardens—two charming spots that added extra beauty to our journey.
Tea Hills
The Tea Hills were breathtaking, with their tall trees and a canopy of green creating a magical atmosphere. The sunlight filtering through the leaves cast a serene glow over the entire area, making it feel like a peaceful escape.
Orange Gardens
The Orange Gardens were a burst of color, with rows of orange trees glowing against the backdrop of green hills. During the harvest season, the air is filled with the sweet scent of ripe oranges. Honestly, I was tempted to pluck a few, but I resisted though it was hard!
These two spots truly added a touch of enchantment to our day, setting the perfect stage for our visit to Dai Yem Waterfall.
Bach Long Glass Bridge: A Thrill Like No Other
After a 4-hour drive, we finally arrived at the breathtaking Bach Long Glass Bridge. We had to park about a kilometer away from the bridge, as private cars aren’t allowed to go any further. Thankfully, there were plenty of other vehicles to take us the rest of the way.
This bridge is an adventure in itself—stretching across the valleys, it’s the longest glass bridge in the world. Walking across feels like floating above the landscape. The views? Absolutely mind-blowing. You’re surrounded by nature’s beauty, with valleys and forests all around. If you love heights and stunning vistas, this bridge is a must! GOOGLE MAP
Walking on Bach Long Glass Bridge
Upon reaching the bridge, we bought our tickets and were given special shoe covers to protect the glass surface. The bridge is lined with flags from various countries and I was thrilled to spot my own among them. The fog that hung over the hills added a mystical touch to the already stunning view.
One unexpected delight was the music that played as we crossed. Hidden speakers, designed to blend in with the trees, added a magical soundtrack to the experience. Local workers were also available to help take pictures, making it easy to capture those once-in-a-lifetime moments.
Muong Moc Cave: A Journey Back in Time
After crossing the bridge, we visited Muong Moc Cave—a place where people lived thousands of years ago. Inside, the cave is a natural masterpiece, with stunning rock formations that feel almost otherworldly. The stalactites and stalagmites are like sculptures, each one unique in shape and size.
The light filtering in from the entrance gave the cave an ethereal glow, making it feel like something out of a fairy tale. The cool air inside was a refreshing contrast to the heat outside, offering a peaceful retreat from the day’s adventures.
Where are Muong Moc Cave?
Muong Moc Cave is located just beyond the Bach Long Bridge, roughly a 200-kilometer drive from Dai Yem Waterfall. It’s one of Vietnam’s longest sea bridges and a crucial link between the mainland and Bach Long Vi Island. Visiting this spot not only adds to the adventure but also deepens your understanding of the local culture and history.
Is Bach Long Glass Bridge Expensive?
If you’re wondering about the cost of this thrilling experience, tickets for the Bach Long Glass Bridge range between 500,000 to 600,000 VND (around $20 to $25 USD). It might not be the cheapest attraction, but the sheer excitement of walking on a glass bridge with breathtaking views below makes it absolutely worth the price. For adventure lovers and view-seekers, this is an unforgettable experience that’ll stay with you for a lifetime!
After our incredible adventure on the Bach Long Glass Bridge, our time in Vietnam felt complete. But we also had our sights set on Sapa—a famous, picturesque destination in northern Vietnam.
