Holding up a glimmering golden bridge two giant concrete hands emerge from the trees is attracting gleeful visitors in Vietnam. Vietnam's Golden Bridge is nestled in the forested hills of central Vietnam. The bridge is designed in a way that visitors fell like they are taking a stroll on a shimmering thread stretching across the hands of gods, the "Golden Bridge" has attracted hordes of guests since it opened in the Ba Na Hills near Danang in June.

Images of the bridge have gone viral on social media, much to the surprise of the architect who had no idea it would attract so much attention. The designer, Anh, said he already has another project named silver Bridge that would be built to connect the existing structures in the Ba Na Hills. 

At 150 metres long (490 feet), the bridge snakes through the forest high up in mountains first developed by French colonists as a hill station in 1919.

The area is a major tourist attraction, boasting a cable car, replica French medieval village -- including faux castle and cathedral -- manicured gardens and a wax museum featuring statues of Lady Gaga and Michael Jordan.
