In the mountains above Da Nang, Vietnam, sits a rare piece of bridge design. It is called the Golden Bridge, a 490-foot-long pedestrian bridge in the Bà Nà Hills resort. The Golden Bridge is designed to connect the cable car station with the gardens and to provide a scenic overlook for tourist attractions.
The five-meter-wide pedestrian bridge is supported with steel and two giant stone hands acting purely as decoration. The Golden Bridge has a timber deck with stainless steel handrails colored golden.
It creates a walkway in the sky, among the foggy and fairy-like lands of Ba Na Mountain. The bridge loops nearly back around to itself, and hands are designed to appear to support the structure. The golden bridge is avoiding a steep incline. The bridge was opened to the public in June 2018. It is the latest tourist attraction in Da Nang.
Moreover, earlier, this site was an American base during the Vietnam War. Currently, this is a hot vacation spot for tourists. The Golden Bridge hands are decorated with cracks and moss to make them look like aged stone ruins. The remarkable appearance of two huge grips looks like they drew the bridge out of the land and adored it as if it were a gift from nature.
The mix of city, beach, and mountains is drawing people to the area. China Beach is for fresh seafood and good waves. Marble Mountains are for exploring temples and caves. Now the city itself offers a burgeoning culinary scene. The client for the project was the Sun Group.
The Ho Chi Minh City-based firm TA Landscape Architecture designed this curved golden bridge. The company’s founder, Vu Viet Anh, was the principal designer. Initially, Sun Group was hesitant about the design and was concerned about this bridge. However, it took months to persuade for the final design.
The Ba Na Hills were a popular getaway for the French during the colonial occupation of Vietnam. The latest attraction has enticed more than 2.7 million visitors in 2017, according to the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism. This project gives the motivation that human efforts can do anything. In the end, you will feel a smooth walk on the clouds, as it’s so unique.
