At the workshop, the Vietnam Record Organization awarded a record certificate for the longest dragon-shaped covered corridor across the mountain in Vietnam, at Dong Giang Heaven Gate tourist area, Ma Cooih commune, Dong Giang district.
This is a complex of two projects, including a dragon-shaped covered walkway and a glass bridge.
The project is 800m above sea level, with a construction area of over 1,260m2 and height from 3.73m to 8.85m.
The 460m long dragon-shaped roofed corridor was built based on the dragon architecture of the Ly Dynasty.
The glass bridge is located right next to the corridor, nearly 39m long and 1.5m wide, designed to resemble the Pearl of Heaven - the treasure guarded by the sacred dragon. When standing on the transparent glass bridge, visitors will feel like they are standing on the boundary between heaven and earth.
According to Mr. Luong Nguyen Minh Triet - Secretary of Quang Nam Provincial Party Committee, the Hoi An - My Son - Dong Giang Heaven Gate heritage route is the first official intra-provincial tourist route to be announced, in the direction of developing the province's new tourism corridor.
