Published on 09/11/2026 at 07:01 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Cau Vang is a pedestrian bridge in Ba Na Hills, west of Da Nang, and its golden span is the sight that gives the place its name. Completed in 2018, it sits within Sun World Ba Na Hills in the Hòa Vang district and links the bridge to the resort landscape around it.
Cau Vang above the mountain ridge
The bridge runs for about 150 m (490 ft) in a gentle curve and carries a deck finished in a warm metallic colour. Its supports take the form of two giant hands, making the bridge feel as much like a sculptural object as a route across the hillside.completed in 2018
That combination of bridge and sculpture is the main reason Cau Vang stands out in the Ba Na Hills setting. The structure keeps a clear pedestrian function, yet its form is what stays in view from most angles.about 150 m
The bridge in Da Nang's hill country
Cau Vang sits high above the valley on a mountain ridge in central Vietnam. The bridge forms part of a larger resort landscape, so the setting is defined by planted areas, slopes and the continuous line of the walkway itself.
The link with Da Nang is direct, but the character of the place is alpine in scale rather than urban in feel. The bridge’s height and its mountain location make the route read as a promenade across the hills rather than a simple crossing.Sun World Ba Na Hills
From design object to landmark
The bridge is one of the clearest examples of how contemporary landscape architecture can work with a pedestrian route. Its gold-toned deck, curved plan and giant hand supports give the structure a recognisable profile against the hills.
TA Landscape Architecture is linked with the bridge’s design, and that association belongs to the place’s identity as a recent addition to Da Nang’s built landscape.TA Landscape Architecture The bridge’s title is easy to read on site: a golden span, a mountain setting and two oversized hands holding the route in place.Cau Vang
