Vietnam's breathtaking new bridge. Vietnam’s new bridge deserves a big hand
When Vietnam’s Golden Bridge opened this summer in the Ba Na Hills near Da Nang, images of the stunning structure went viral, and it’s no wonder. The bridge is cradled by ancient-looking hands that look like they were carved out of the mountain centuries ago – the perfect backdrop for a spectacular selfie. Those big hands are actually made of wire mesh and fibreglass, fashioned around towers that support this tourist attraction sitting 3,200 feet above sea level. The pedestrian bridge offers some of the region’s most dramatic views of the Trường Sơn Mountains here in Central Vietnam. The architect is reportedly working on a sister bridge, but it will be silver, not gold.
