Phu Quoc’s Kiss Bridge opened on December 22, 2023, in Sunset Town. It caused a media buzz at home and abroad. Its unique design and message of connection drew much attention. The bridge should become a new symbol for Vietnam tourism. It will show Phu Quoc to the world. It will also give travelers a reason to see this unique creation.
Where Is Kiss Bridge?
Kiss Bridge sits on the west coast of southern Phu Quoc Island. It faces the Venice Clock Tower. This tower is central to Sunset Town. The bridge resembles a gentle silk ribbon. It hugs the turquoise coast. It shines in Phu Quoc’s great sunsets.
What Does Kiss Bridge Mean?
Talented Italian architect Marco Casamonti created Kiss Bridge. He also designed famous global projects.
Michelangelo’s “The Creation of Adam” inspired the bridge. This artwork shows God touching Adam to give him life. Phu Quoc’s Kiss Bridge impresses with its design. It has a deliberate 30cm gap. Only a kiss, hug, or handshake can connect it.
The gap also points to human separation in the tech age. People communicate across borders easily now. But close, personal connections seem to fade. So, the bridge’s open design reminds us of “The Touch.” It says, “Only humans can fill the gaps of division.”
Best Sunset Spot in Phu Quoc
Kiss Bridge faces west on Phu Quoc Island. People think this island has Vietnam’s best sunsets. The bridge offers a full view of the sunset over the sea. See the sky and sea blend in four colors: yellow, orange, pink, and purple.
On January 1st each year, the sun lines up with the bridge’s center gap. This creates a gentle, luminous “silk ribbon” of light. The architects carefully planned this.
Visiting Hours
Kiss Bridge welcomes visitors daily during the hours of 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM. But each end of the bridge has different hours. See the image for details.
