Cau Vang in Da Nang is a 150-metre pedestrian bridge in BĂ NĂ Hills, where a gold-coloured deck crosses the ridge on two giant hands. It sits within Sun World Ba Na Hills and was completed in 2018.
Cau Vang across the ridge at BĂ NĂ Hills
The bridge is known in English as the Golden Bridge, but Cau Vang is the name used here. It belongs to the mountain resort west of Da Nang and links the cable car station with the gardens, bringing a simple crossing into a highly staged setting. BĂ NĂ Hills resort and Da Nang frame its identity.
Its most memorable feature is visible at once: two oversized hands beneath the span, with the walkway curving gently between them. The bridge loops back towards itself, a form that makes the deck read as both route and object. June 2018 and TA Landscape Architecture anchor its modern identity.
Design, materials and the bridgeâs visual language
The bridge was designed by TA Landscape Architecture in Ho Chi Minh City, with Vu Viet Anh as principal designer. The hands are formed from fibreglass and wire mesh, then finished to read like stone. Sun Group commissioned the project, and the structure opened in June 2018 after construction that began in July 2017. Vu Viet Anh and Sun Group identify the people and client behind it.
The deck is about 150 metres long, and the bridge is part of a larger resort landscape rather than a standalone crossing. That setting matters because the bridge sits among gardens, mountain paths and cable-car infrastructure, all visible from the surrounding area. BĂ NĂ Hills Resort gives the bridge its broader frame.
From mountain resort route to modern landmark
Cau Vang is not an isolated monument. It is part of a resort complex where visitors move from cable car to bridge to gardens, and the bridgeâs shape keeps that movement visible in the architecture itself. The crossing is pedestrian only, with a deck wide enough to read as a walking route rather than a narrow footbridge. pedestrian bridge and 150-metre-long are the clearest factual markers of its form.
The bridgeâs hands, long span and looped curve make it legible from a distance, but the appeal lies in the physical fact of the structure, not any hidden story. It is a bridge that behaves like an object in the landscape, with its support, span and route all exposed to view. giant hands and looping curve define that image.
