The Golden Bridge

Location

Located just outside Da Nang, this architectural masterpiece in Vietnam enchants everyone who lays eyes on it with its two gigantic hands that give the illusion of lifting up the bridge. It is built on the Ba Na hills 1,400 m above the sea level enabling the pedestrians to enjoy the beautiful view of the sprawling countryside.

Characteristics

Purple Lobelia Chrysanthemums line up this 150 meters long golden footbridge. The curved design of the bridge passing through the two majestic sculpted palms leave the tourists spellbound.

Construction Process

TA Landscape Architecture is the brain behind the design of this bridge. It seems that the hands holding the bridge are made of stone, but in reality, they are not. A skeleton of hands was first prepared and covered with steel meshes and fiberglass. After that, theming was added to it. It took almost a year for the entire structure to be built.
