Golden Bridge in Danang Named New World’s Wonder by UK’s press

In early 2025, the UK newspaper Daily Mail listed several remarkable destinations that have earned recognition as potential new wonders of the world. Among these, the Golden Bridge in Danang City, Vietnam, was proudly highlighted as the “Palm of Giants.”

The Daily Mail noted that iconic sites such as the Taj Mahal, the Acropolis, Angkor Wat, and Machu Picchu—renowned for their historical and cultural significance—hold a special place in our collective memory. However, as the desire for new travel experiences grows, it's time to consider fresh candidates for the title of world wonders.

A survey by the Daily Mail among millennials, who have grown up with modern technology, identified leading contenders for this new wonder status based on criteria like immediate visual impact, uniqueness, and overall appeal.

Crowning the list, Danang's Golden Bridge was described as featuring “giant's hands” that “gently support the 490-foot path for pedestrians,” offering stunning views over the coastal resort of Danang, with over 30,000 posts tagging #goldenbridgevietnam on Instagram.

This is not the first time Vietnam's Golden Bridge has been featured in international media; it has also appeared in Time’s top 100 destinations, Love Exploring’s International Masterpiece List, and has been likened to a scene from “The Lord of the Rings” by Bored Panda.

In addition to the Golden Bridge, Daily Mail identified other notable sites, including Bosco Verticale (Italy), Gardens by the Bay (Singapore), Dubai Frame (UAE), Matrimandir (India), Museo Soumaya (Mexico), the Underwater Sculpture Park off Miami Beach (USA), Kalbarri Skywalk (Australia), and Jungle Swings (Indonesia).
