Something about the Golden Bridge

The Golden Bridge is a pedestrian bridge located on the Ba Na Hills, near Da Nang, Vietnam. Built along the Annamite Range, a mountain chain that spans Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam, it was designed by TA Landscape Architecture. Its purpose is to provide tourists with access to the Ba Na Hills amusement park and to offer an additional tourist attraction. The bridge, consisting of eight spans, rises above the dense greenery of the Thien Thai Garden on the Ba Na hills. Due to its unique design and the beauty of the surrounding landscape, the bridge draws many visitors. Suspended above sea level, it is approximately 150 meters long and is adorned with beautiful purple Lobelia flowers. The giant stone hands supporting the bridge have an ancient and worn appearance, designed to make them look old. These hands stand about 24 meters high and are 13 meters wide, with each finger having a diameter of 2 meters. The bridge's metal deck is golden in color, while the support columns are painted to blend in with the forest, creating the illusion that the bridge is floating in mid-air. According to local reports, the Golden Bridge cost 2 billion dollars and aims to boost tourism in Vietnam. The bridge was inaugurated in June 2018.
