Wild New Pedestrian Bridge
Oversized and weathered, the concrete hands that stretch Vietnam's new Golden Bridge away from the Ba Na hills are a stunning sight to behold. That's just the point, according to principle designer Vu Viet Anh, who aimed to invoke the sensation of walking along a thread stretching through the hands of God.
Designed by Ho Chi Minh City-based TA Landscape Architecture, the Cau Vang, which translates to gold bridge, is meant to attract more tourists to an already popular destination. Ba Na Hills, a resort originally built by French colonists in the 1919, already features the longest single-track cable car in the world, a replica French medieval village with a faux castle, a wax museum, and the painstakingly manicured Thien Thai gardens that the bridge extends through.
The 490-foot-long, eight-section pedestrian walkway brings visitors past purple chrysanthemums on one side and seemingly cantilevers 4,600 feet above sea level over the cable car and hill country below for far-reaching views on the other side.
