Bored Panda published the article “Celebrating 5 years of Golden Bridge, the modern man-made wonder of the world”. This is how the famous Bored Panda praised the Golden Bridge as “breathtakingly impressive” and “like the movie Lord of the Rings” when the bridge opened in 2018.

The article about Golden Bridge at that time on Bored Panda created an unprecedented phenomenon for this news site, up to now it has recorded nearly 600,000 views and reads.

Five years have passed since the Golden Bridge was first introduced to the public, and Bored Panda readers are still amazed by its sci-fi-like beauty. The article recalls how people around the world were surprised when they first saw the Golden Bridge.

“I still remember the first time I saw the Golden Bridge 5 years ago. I was very surprised that there was a bridge in the world as beautiful as if it came out of a science fiction movie. 5 years have passed, this project is still a global phenomenon…”, Bored Panda member Anthony Rodríguez shared.

The article also mentioned the Golden Bridge phenomenon that “stormed” movie lovers in 2022, when the mysterious beauty of the bridge appeared in the Netflix series “The Sandman”. Global audiences were delighted to discover a scene that perfectly recreated the intricate details of the Golden Bridge.

Located at an altitude of about 1,400m above sea level, the Golden Bridge consists of 8 spans and is about 150m long on the Truong Son mountain range, overlooking the East Sea and Da Nang city. The project originated from the need to build a path connecting the Marseille cable car station to Thien Thai garden and Le Jardin D'Amour flower garden of the Sun World Ba Na Hills tourist area.

“With its special location, the bridge is located in the middle of lush green nature, often covered in fog, making the scene magical” - the article describes.

In terms of its impact on local tourism, Bored Panda commented that the image of Da Nang is now “synonymous” with the Golden Bridge in the eyes of international visitors. “It is no exaggeration to say that the Golden Bridge has put Da Nang on the tourist map of hundreds of millions of visitors across Asia and beyond.”

At the end of the article, the author said that some people even say this is one of the most iconic man-made wonders in the world. Although there are conflicting views such as it is difficult to call the bridge a wonder, the attraction of the Golden Bridge in the journey of 5 years appearing in the world is undeniable.

“The bridge is one of the most recognizable icons in Vietnam, along with Ha Long Bay,” said Bored Panda ’s writer.

The Golden Bridge has also been consistently scoring points with international media recently. In June 2023, the Indian newspaper Luxebook praised it as a world-class iconic structure.

The famous British newspaper Independent listed the Golden Bridge among the 14 most spectacular bridges in the world. On July 16, this structure also appeared on two large pages in the special edition of Australia's leading travel magazine - Escape .
