Cau Vang and the hands over Ba Na Hills

Cau Vang is a pedestrian bridge in Sun World Ba Na Hills, west of Da Nang in Vietnam. Its most striking feature is the pair of giant hands that lift a gold-toned walkway above the hills.

Cau Vang across the Ba Na Hills ridge

The bridge is about 150 m (490 ft) long and sits in the Hòa Vang district. It belongs to the Ba Na Hills resort landscape, where the bridge reads as a suspended path across the slope.

The name Cau Vang means “Golden Bridge” in Vietnamese. The bridge opened in 2018 and has become closely associated with that hilltop setting, where the deck curves in a gentle line above the surrounding terrain.

Hands, deck and mountain setting

The hands are the element that most people recognise first. They are large, weathered in appearance and arranged so that the bridge seems to rest in the palms rather than on a conventional pier.

The deck is a narrow pedestrian span with planting along its edge. That mix of walkway, railing and greenery gives the bridge a crafted look, while the mountain backdrop keeps the structure firmly tied to the resort’s upper slopes.

Cau Vang in Da Nang’s resort landscape

Cau Vang sits within a larger leisure complex in Ba Na Hills. The bridge links with the resort’s garden landscape and other hilltop features, making it part of a broader visitor area rather than a stand-alone monument.

Its setting above the coastal plain gives the bridge a clear visual identity from the first approach. The gold colour, the curved deck and the giant hands combine into a composition that is easy to recognise and hard to mistake for any ordinary footbridge.
