Which of these pedestrian bridges link the cable car with the gardens for its famous tourist attraction?
The Golden Bridge (Vietnamese: C'âu Vàng) is a 150-metre-long (490 ft) pedestrian bridge in the Bà Nà Hills resort, near Da Nang city in Vietnam. It is designed to connect the cable car station with the gardens (avoiding a steep incline) and to provide a scenic overlook and tourist attraction. The bridge loops nearly back around to itself and has two giant hands, constructed of fiberglass and wire mesh, designed to appear like stone hands that support the structure.
The bridge was designed by TA Landscape Architecture (Under Ho Chi Minh City University of Architecture) based in Ho chi Minh city, Vietnam. Construction began in July 2017 and was completed in April 2018; the bridge opened in June 2018.
The bridge was named "Golden Bridge" as its guardrails has been covered with gold. Its design embodies the hands of the Mountain God drawing from inside a rocky mountain a golden sash to carry villagers to the Paradise Garden, perfectly matching the fantasy and fairy theme of Ba Na Hills.
At the height of 1,414 m above sea level, the Golden Bridge is a place where man-made and nature-made beauty, construction technology and art meet. The bridge was considered by Archdaily, a world's leading architectural news web, as one of the world's most unique bridges.
