VTV.vn - The Cầu Vàng (Golden Bridge) in the central coastal city of Đà Nẵng which is held up by a colossal pair of hands has caught the international media's attention due to its dazzling design.

The UK's The Guardian called the footbridge part of "a line of weird and wonderful structures around the world". Meanwhile, The India Times said that "the highlight of this jaw-dropping structure is that it rests on two giant hands". The French design website creapills.com described the bridge as an "absolutely impressive bridge in Vietnam".

Located more than 1,400m above sea level, the bridge serves as a transit between a replica of a French village and Le Jardin D'Amour flower garden in Bà Nà Hills resort. The bridge took just under a year to construct and was designed by TA Landscape Architecture. It's part of a 2 billion USD development project to bring more tourists to Vietnam.
