Golden Bridge has regularly been featured in a series of prestigious international outlets such as the Guardian, CNN and the New York Times due to its surreal beauty. It was ranked among the top 100 World’s Greatest Places in 2018 by Time magazine.
The breathtaking bridge was honored as the 'World's Top Iconic Tourist Bridge' at the World Travel Awards 2020, dubbed the Oscars of world tourism.
