Golden Bridge : the Giant Hand Bridge

 

Vietnam, officially the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, is a country in Southeast Asia. Located at the eastern edge of mainland Southeast Asia, it covers 311,699 square kilometers. With a population of over 96 million, it is the world's fifteenth-most populous country. Vietnam borders China to the north, Laos and Cambodia to the west, and shares maritime borders with Thailand through the Gulf of Thailand, and the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia through the South China Sea. Its capital is Hanoi and its largest city is Ho Chi Minh City.

The Golden Bridge is a 150-metre-long (490 ft) pedestrian bridge in the Bà Nà Hills resort, near Da Nang, Vietnam. It is designed to connect the cable car station with the gardens (avoiding a steep incline) and to provide a scenic overlook and tourist attraction. The bridge loops nearly back around to itself, and has two giant hands, constructed of fiberglass and wire mesh, designed to appear like stone hands that support the structure.


Asian Destinations Readers can walk on a curved bridge that is 150 meters long and 12.8 meters wide. This is an experience in itself, because the beauty of the scenery that is presented spoils the eyes for every visitor. Located at an altitude of 1,400 meters above sea level, the view from the Golden Bridge makes you feel like you are in a land above the clouds.

In the morning sometimes the view of the forest under the bridge is foggy. Since it was first opened in June 2018, Golden Bridge has attracted many visitors, tourists visiting Vietnam have also increased with an average of 1.5 million visitors every year.

The combination of a unique design and stunning scenery makes many people interested in taking pictures and taking selfies at this Golden Bridge. Some even did a pre-wedding photo shoot on this bridge. Walking down the Golden Bridge with two giant hands that looks like supporting the bridge is like walking with God's hands supporting the bridge.


Asian Destinations Readers can visit when the sun goes down for a great view around the Golden Bridge.
