In safe hands

Vietnam is a popular holiday destination for many Australians and quite a few of our villagers have enjoyed vacations there. One of our residents posted a photo of the Golden Bridge and I was blown away by her photo. The Golden Bridge, sometimes spoken of as the Golden Hands Bridge, is a spectacular pedestrian bridge in the Bà Nà Hills resort in the district of Da Nang. As well as providing a scenic view for tourists, it also connects a cable car station with gardens, and saves visitors a steep climb. The two giant ‘hands’ of the bridge are constructed of fibreglass and wire mesh. Work on the bridge began in 2017 and was opened in June 2018. My photo is from Wikimedia and was taken by xiquinhosilva from Cacau. Isn’t it just something? I think it’s gorgeous. What an imaginative work of art.

That is really cool. I have never seen something like that. I doubt I will ever make it to Vietnam, but I do have China on my bucket list.

I have also seen many pictures of this, and I believe Da Nang has used it to attract tourists, as numerous vloggers have featured the city multiple times. Additionally, the climate in Da Nang is noticeably cooler compared to other regions in Vietnam, making it an appealing destination for visitors.

It surely is a work of art. However I couldn't stop myself from wondering why it looks as if it's bent or leaning to one side.

I think the side is designed with a lean to prevent people climbing over.

I remember that I had seen a piece of news about this bridge months ago. I would not feel safe with so many people standing on it.

That's the downside of making something so iconic - the world and his dog are there to take selfies

I had to look at the picture twice to realize that it was just the railing that was on an angle and not the people walking on the surface, which has to be flat. It would be amazing to see in person.
