Vietnam's Golden Bridge: A giant pair of hands lift into the sky
New Golden Bridge in Vietnam might be the next destination on your bucket list. The Golden Bridge near Danang is designed to make visitors feel like they are taking a stroll on a shimmering thread held by the hands of gods. The area is known for its unique bridges. Opened in June, it has attracted tourists looking to get the perfect photo op. The bridge is 1,400 metres above sea level. Images of the 150 metre-long bridge have been shared widely.
The bridge is part of a massive $2bn investment project hoping to turn Vietnam into an unmissable tourist destination and add to the 1.5m visitors the Da Nang area already welcomes every year.
And Cau Vang, which took just under a year to construct, is not Vietnam's first bonkers bridge.
The Da Nang region also contains the Dragon Bridge (Cau Rong), which is a 666 metre-long road bridge over the River Han that opened in 2013.
It was designed to look like a massive dragon, which just happens to breathe fire and water every Saturday and Sunday at 9pm.
