The 'hands' are not carved from stone but are crafted from fiberglass and wire mesh over a steel skeleton.
The bridge was opened to the public in June 2018.
The project was commissioned to create a 'walking in the clouds' experience for visitors to the mountain resort.
The bridge is 150 meters long and 12.8 meters wide.
The path is divided into eight spans, the longest of which is 21.2 meters.
The bridge is located at the Marseille Cable Car station.
The aging effect on the 'hands' was achieved through specific painting techniques designed to mimic moss and weathering.
The Golden Bridge is a 150-meter-long pedestrian bridge suspended 1,414 meters above sea level in the Ba Na Hills resort. It is characterized by two massive, weathered stone-colored hands that appear to lift the golden-colored deck from the surrounding mountainside. The structure was designed by the landscape architecture firm TA Landscape Architecture. It sits within the Thien Thai Garden. The bridge connects the cable car station to the Le Jardin D'Amour gardens. It is constructed primarily of fiberglass and wire mesh to simulate the appearance of stone. The bridge offers views of the Da Nang city coastline and the Truong Son mountains. It is a major attraction within the Sun World Ba Na Hills complex.

Visit as early in the morning as possible to minimize crowds on the walkway.
Bring a light jacket as temperatures at this elevation are significantly cooler than at sea level.
Check the weather forecast for visibility, as heavy mist can obscure the view completely.
Avoid arriving during midday peak times when cable car traffic results in extreme congestion on the bridge deck.
