Several people suffer from Acrophobia, a mental health issue which is basically the irrational fear of heights. That means that this list could trigger some of those feelings, but it doesn’t mean that people who fear heights can avoid crossing bridges their entire life. Most of the bridges you’ll see here simply connect different places, but a lot of them have a rich history behind them worth recounting. We bet that it’s impossible to cross all the bridges in the world in a lifetime but we’ve rounded up a list of 40 of the world’s most incredible bridges that just show man’s incredible creativity.
Golden Bridge – Da Nang, Vietnam
The Golden Bridge offers breathtakingly scenic views and it serves as one of Vietnam’s popular tourist attractions. This spectacular pedestrian bridge balancing on Ba Na hills is 492 feet long standing an estimated 4,593 feet above sea level. It’s been distinctively designed to appear as though the two gigantic sculpted hands, made from fiberglass, are lifting the gold-colored footpath. The curved bridge, designed by the Ho Chi Minh City-based company TA Landscape Architecture, was opened in June 2018. Its elegant design has attracted millions of people from the world ever since, contributing to the Vietnam tourism boom.
