The Golden Bridge is a marvel of engineering located in Da Nang, Vietnam. It’s a 150-meter (490-foot) long pedestrian walkway, featuring a pair of giant sculpted hands reaching from the mountain below.
The hands are crafted from fiberglass and wire mesh, creating the illusion that they are holding the bridge.
The Golden Bridge and its winding path provide breathtaking panoramic views of the lush Ba Na Hills and the coastline stretching towards Da Nang.
Beyond its visual appeal, the bridge serves a practical purpose by connecting the base cable car station with the gardens at the top of Ba Na Hills, eliminating the need for visitors to climb the steep hill.
Social media influence has propelled the bridge into the spotlight, sometimes leading to overcrowding, especially during peak tourist seasons.
The bridge has a limited weight capacity, and visitors may be restricted for safety reasons. Despite its challenges, the Golden Bridge continues to serve as a testament to Vietnamese ingenuity and dedication to tourism.
As architectural expert Dr. Nguyen Van Tho states, “The Golden Bridge is not just a feat of design and construction; it symbolizes the harmonious blend of nature and human creativity.”
