The idea of ​​a bridge supported on the hands of a God was immediately shared with the team of architects and investor Sun Group and received great support.” – said by Ms. Thuy, Deputy Director of TA Landscape Architecture. That is how the Golden Bridge was born in such special design.

For its meaning to the tourist area, the Golden Bridge likes as a very precious gift that the resort cherishes for visitors, conveying an interesting landscape story that attracts people to come and experience.
