Let Vietluxtour Travel - Vietnam tour operator introduce to you two wonderful bridges that you must visit when coming to Vietnam

1. Golden Bridge in Da Nang

The Golden Bridge on Ba Na Hills, which opened in June 2018, has attracted scores of visitors and has become a phenomenon spread on social networks. Mr. Vu Viet Anh from TA Landscape Architecture, the chief designer of the project, said that he was very proud when the image of this project was shared by visitors from all over the world.

The design, which features a colossal pair of hands reaching out from the mountain to grab the golden silk suspended in the sky, deserves to be listed on the list of must-go places while travelling in Da Nang.

With a length of 150 meters and located at an altitude of 1414 meters above sea level, the Golden Bridge has created a pedestrian walkway high above the clifftop. From the Golden Bridge, visitors can admire the pristine forests and the whole beautiful Da Nang city.

2. Kissing Bridge Phu Quoc, Vietnam’s new bridge, is for kissing, not for crossing

A new selfie hotspot called “Kissing Bridge" is where couples can share a romantic moment against the Vietnamese sunset. The result of a collaboration between Italian architect Marco Casamonti and luxury tourism developer Sun Group, the bridge is located on Vietnam’s southern Phu Quoc Island, famous for its beautiful beaches.

The bridge spans a length of over 800 meters (half a mile) and consists of two separate halves.

The design was inspired by the classic Michelangelo fresco painting The Creation of Adam at the Sistine Chapel; just like the pointing fingers in the painting, the two halves of the bridge don’t quite touch.

Instead, there is only a 30 centimeter (12 inch) distance separating the north and south sections. That means that erstwhile kissers will need to perch one on each side, then lean in dramatically for the big smooch.

The distance between the two halves has been calculated so precisely that on January 1st of every year, the sun will fall directly in the gap between the two halves, according to the Sun Group.

The bridge’s Vietnamese name, “Cau Hon,” also means “proposing marriage,” for any visitors hoping to pop the question.

The bridge is located in Phu Quoc Island’s Sunset Town, in Vietnam’s southern province of Kien Giang, a 40-minute flight from Ho Chi Minh City.

Phu Quoc is often regarded as Vietnam’s best island getaway and is favored by honeymooners.
