Situated in the forested hills of Central Vietnam, the Golden Bridge "In the Hands of the Gods" attracts huge numbers of tourists. Two giant concrete hands rise from the trees, supporting a walkway filled with happy visitors.
The architects' idea was for strollers to imagine themselves walking on a shimmering thread that stretched through the hands of the gods. The Golden Bridge, or Cau Vang, has attracted hordes of visitors eager to see the new piece of architecture, which has been celebrated for its unusual design since it opened on the slopes of Ba Na near Da Nang in June.
Designed by TA Landscape Architecture in Ho Chi Minh City, the walking path is over 1000 meters above sea level and stretches above the treetops from the edge of a leafy cliff, offering hikers an unobstructed view of the majestic landscape below.
Photos of the bridge have gone viral on social media, much to the surprise of the architect, who had no idea it would attract so much attention. “We are proud that our product has become known all over the world. The bridge is a walkway in the sky among the misty and magical lands of Wa Na Mountain,” said Vu Wet An, chief designer and founder of TA Landscape Architecture.
