I’m constantly awestruck by architecture, both past and present, that boldly makes a statement. It’s the kind that withstands the ages, serving as a beacon of creativity, pushing the boundaries of design and engineering. A remarkable example of such architectural prowess stands just beyond Da Nang in Vietnam—a viewing bridge suspended by two colossal hands, leaving tourists worldwide spellbound.
Perched over 4,500 feet above sea level, this bridge offers breathtaking vistas of the picturesque countryside. Its curved design, adorned with vibrant flowers and gilded accents, adds to its allure. Yet, what truly steals the show are the massive ancient-like hands, seemingly emerging from the earth below, cradling the bridge in a jaw-dropping display of artistry and engineering.
The construction of this marvel took a year, but the result is nothing short of spectacular. Witness for yourself the fusion of architecture, design, and engineering embodied in this extraordinary bridge, offering unparalleled views across the lush green expanse of Vietnam’s countryside.
The hands look as though they were carved from stone while in fact they are a sculpture made of wire mesh and fiberglass. The hands were painted perfectly to look like aged stone with liken and moss growing on them.
The hands gently cradle the bridge offering a somewhat surreal viewing experience and of course a wonderful photo-op.
The bridge is part of a $2 billion dollar investment into the tourism industry in Vietnam. It hopes to bring over 1.5 million visitors annually.
The bridge looks like a giant ribbon that these hands derived from the depths of earth are lifting high up into the air as if offering it to the heavens above.
It is known as the Golden Bridge and is located above the Ba Na Hills in Vietnam.
The bridge was opened in June and has already made a huge impact on the area’s tourism.
The views of the countryside are priceless and would otherwise be harder to enjoy without the convenience of this massive and beautiful walkway.
The bridge is roughly 500 feet long and over 4500 feet high offering a spectacular view that anyone can enjoy.
How cool would it be to walk among the clouds nestled in these giant earth-like hands.
The elegant design will last for generations bringing much-needed tourism to these areas of Vietnam.
The giant hands really give it that wow-factor turning this normal bridge into something special.
Because of this and other project allowed with the $2 billion dollar investment, Vietnam has experienced a great boom in tourism.

The area is projected to see 1.5 million visitors a year thanks to this incredible structure.
It is already being used for bridal photos and social media influencers are flocking to the incredible area for a photo-op.
The gold truly shines when the sun hits it just right. An amazing sight so high up in the air.
The builders did an incredible job creating such a massive work of art.
I’m terrified of heights but even I want to walk across and take a look at the countryside from this bridge.
It looks like this rainbow was in the right place at just the right time.
The location makes for incredible bridal photos.
Who wouldn’t want a picture just like this one with their loved one?
Imagine how cool the view from the top is? I bet you can see for miles across the green Vietnamese countryside.
It looks like this incredible walkway is going to be here for a while so you have time. But the sooner you do the more likely you’re going to avoid the crowds as more of the world hears about it and the tourism in Vietnam gets too busy.
