Reasons Why Golden Bridge Vietnam Is Built

Golden Hands Bridge in Vietnam was constructed from July 2017 and inaugurated and opened to tourists in April 2018. This is an attraction lying within Ba Na Hills, a well-known amusement park that is accessible by cable car. So why did people build it?

The first reason to build Golden Hands Bridge Vietnam is that the Sun Group (the investor) wanted a pedestrian walkway to skip steep stairs from the brand new cable car station to older attractions in Ba Na Hills. When come to this park, visitors can realize that without Golden Bridge, going from Marseille Station (the arrival station of cable car line from Hoi An Station) or Bordeaux Station (the arrival station of cable car line from Louvre Station) to other places in the same mountain will be much more difficult. There are numerous small and steep steps on the way. With the same idea, in the future, the Silver Bridge will be constructed to skip the stairs from Golden Bridge to the Le Jardin d’Amour gardens and big Buddha statue. After that, going around the area is easier for every visitor.

The second reason to explain the construction of Golden Hands Bridge Vietnam is that the Sun Group (the investor) wanted to have one more stunning attraction in Ba Na Hills. By that, this amusement park can attract more tourists, helping to boost the business of the company in particular and tourism industry of the city in general. To be honest, since the bridge was opened in 2018, there are so many more people coming to it thanks to social media. Number of non-Vietnamese visitors impressively increased over the years, making Ba Na Hills more famous in many countries across the world.

Another reason why Golden Hands Bridge Vietnam was built is that the Sun Group (the investor) wanted to provide visitors an observation deck to enjoy seeing the breath-taking view. From this place (1,414 meters above sea level), it’s possible to see an incredibly beautiful landscape stretching from mountain peaks to the sea. There are blue mountains with untouched forests, meandering rivers, a chain of small hills, villages, islands, etc. On many days of the year, clouds blowing from the sea bring fascinating vistas (such as sea of cloud, fog, rainbowl, etc). Besides the view, those who stroll along Golden Bridge will enjoy extremely cool breeze and fresh air (as well as an interesting soundtrack from the theme park). A walk here is definitely one of must-have experiences for anyone.

On the other hand, Da Nang where Golden Hands Bridge is located, has a nickname ‘city of bridges’. The city boasts a collection of famous bridge buildings such as Dragon Bridge (with a massive steel dragon weighing up to 9,000 tonnes), Japanese Covered Bridge (constructed in the 17th century), Han River Bridge, Tran Thi Ly Bridge, Thuan Phuoc Bridge. For that reason, having one special bridge at Ba Na Hills is based on this far-reaching reputation.
