Remarking on its architectural creativity, the magazine’s Julia Zorthian notes: “The two massive stony hands emerging from the mountains of central Vietnam may look mossy and cracked like ancient ruins, but don’t be fooled: they’re brand-new wire mesh and fiberglass supports for a striking footbridge that opened in June.”
According to Time, editors and experts at the magazine evaluated the entries based on quality, originality, innovation, sustainability and influence.
Open to the public in June this year, the bridge, which looks like it is being lifted by two giant hands, provides an extraordinary viewing experience for visitors.
With a length of 150 meters and a height of 1,400 meters above sea level, the bridge's construction has been praised for its creative design by several international media outlets such as the Guardian, CNN, and Reuters.
Along with the Golden Bridge, the Louvre Abu Dhabi Museum, the Tianjin Binhai Library of China, and Spain's Casa Vicens were also included.
