Attraction to Vietnam, Walking in the "Hands of the Gods"


In the midst of wooded forests in central Vietnam, two giant concrete hands emerge from the ground to hold a golden bridge filled with captivating "selfie" visitors, in what is the latest resort attraction of the country.
Designed to make visitors feel as if they are walking on a street lying on the "hands of the gods", the golden bridge has attracted crowds of visitors since it opened in Ba Na Hills, near Danang in June.
Bridge images have become viral in the social media, even surprise the architect himself, who had not imagined that the idea would attract so much attention.
At 150 meters, the bridge winds over the forests, in the mountains first developed by French colonizers, as a mountain station in 1919.
Today, the area is a great attraction for tourists, there is a cable car, a replica of a medieval French village, including castles and cathedrals, well-groomed gardens and a wax sculpture museum, where Lady Gaga and Michael Jordan are missing.
Vietnam is actually famous for its similar attractions. An installation in the form of a crystal cloud, with 58,000 "Swarovski" stones, is erected on rice-lined rolls in the North Wind, while the surreal Crazy House in Da Lat has attracted thousands of curious visitors.
The communist country has long tended to increase the number of visitors and position itself as a destination that should not be missed in Southeast Asia.
