Incredible architecture: the golden bridge in Vietnam supported by giant hands.
In the mountains above Da Nang, in Vietnam, the Golden Bridge was built, a suspension bridge that is a unique piece of design and an incredible architectural work.
A pair of giant hands lifts a gilded ribbon-shaped bridge through the trees of the Thien Thai garden in Ba Na Hills, in central Vietnam. Located at more than 1,400 m above sea level, the Golden bridge has eight bays and stretches for 150 m in length.
The hands that show it to the sky are green, as aged by time. All around chrysanthemums form purple embroidery. Opened in June, the bridge, designed by TA Landscape Architecture of Ho Chi Minh City, is the spearhead of a $ 2 billion investment project in the area that aims to increase tourist presence.
Judging by the visitors who arrived in the first month, the “sculpture” has worked, also for the path to be done to reach the striking attraction: you can get there only with the cable car of the records, 5777 meters long and passable with a single cable system.
The journey takes about 17 minutes. Soon there might be news: Golden Bridge designers have said they already have in mind a silver bridge, built to look like a lock of a god’s hair, which will connect to the existing structure.
The Cau Vang gilded suspension bridge, built in Vietnam, in the mountains above Da Nang and precisely in the tourist area of the Thien Thai Garden, runs along a 150-meter course at 1400 meters above sea level.
The Golden Bridge inaugurated last June and soon became one of the most visited tourist destinations in the area, is made of steel and wood and along the path is flanked by abundant vegetation. It is located at such a height that it creates the illusion of walking on a strip of silk hiding in the clouds above Da Nang.
The pedestrian path is large enough to allow the passage of more people who can stop to admire the view of the surrounding nature.
But the feature that makes the work unique and incredible is that the bridge is supported by a pair of giant hands with the palm open to the sky, which has been finished with a seasoned effect, to create the illusion of age and Antiquities, as if they were always supporting the work. The impression is that the bridge is so light that it is merely resting on the hands.
The length is divided into eight bays, each of which is characterized by the flowers of purple Lobelia Chrysanthemum planted along the way, which add a further characteristic touch to the gold balustrades.
The bridge, which has already become a famous tourist attraction, can be reached by a cableway, which is also noteworthy as it entered the Guinness of Records to be, with its 5800 meters in length, the longest in the world.
