Massive hand sculptures made of stone are the supporting structures for Vietnam‘s new Golden Bridge. Located 1,400 meters above sea level on the Ba Na Hills, the 150-meter walkway was organized by TA Landscape Architecture. A row of Lobelia Chrysanthemum flowers is placed across the bridge, complementing the balustrades clad in gold paint.
