On the evening of December 26, 2023, local time, the American news agency CNN published an article introducing to readers around the world about the Kissing Bridge - a new project that opened on December 22 in Hoang Hon Town, Phu Quoc. With the attractive title "The new bridge in Vietnam is for giving kisses, not for crossing", the article was on CNN's homepage for 24 hours.
The "boost" from CNN has made international media focus on the bridge, when a series of prestigious international newspapers and TV channels reported on this "new phenomenon" of Vietnamese tourism.

The American TV channel Cheddar News, famous for its "unique" news coverage, dedicated more than a minute of airtime to the Kissing Bridge in its evening news on December 29, 2023. Cheddar News called the Kissing Bridge "a perfect new destination for taking photos", emphasizing that the bridge is becoming a popular check-in destination in Vietnam, where tourists can exchange sweet moments.
Two female editors of Cheddar News were impressed by the creativity and uniqueness of the bridge. "I will definitely come here because I really like the theme of this bridge," commented editor Kristen. In particular, the moment of taking check-in photos, watching the sunset together and exchanging passionate kisses on the Kissing Bridge on New Year's Day is the experience that Cheddar News is looking forward to and suggesting to visitors.

In addition to television, in an article published on December 27, 2023, the world's leading American travel magazine Travel + Leisure also expects the Kissing Bridge to become a symbol of love and a must-see destination for couples and tourists. "The picturesque bridge is the result of a collaboration between Italian architect Marco Casamonti and Sun Group, allowing visitors to admire the beautiful sunset of Vietnam while looking out to the vast ocean," Travel + Leisure described. Female reporter Priyaja Bakshi, the author of the article, also expects that the Kissing Bridge will "recreate" the success of the Golden Bridge in Da Nang.
Reputable travel news sites such as Travel Trade, Travel Weekly, Travel Daily News... also simultaneously published articles praising this masterpiece. Australia's Travel Weekly called Cau Hon "Vietnam's new iconic destination", while Travel Trade described it quite humorously: "This is a place for couples who want to take their relationship to the next level", implying that the bridge is an ideal place for couples to "propose".
Not only that, Travel Trade also affirmed that Cau Hon brings visitors a unique and enchanting scene, creating unforgettable memories at the charming sunset moment of Vietnam. "The bridge is a testament to the continuous efforts to improve the tourism experience in Phu Quoc," Travel Trade commented.
The Kissing Bridge has attracted tens of thousands of visitors every day since its official opening.
Not only English newspapers, Cau Hon is really creating a global "fever" when appearing in newspapers of Korea, Greece, Eastern European countries...
The Korean newspaper Asia Today commented that this bridge is a continuation of the success of the Golden Bridge in Da Nang and is considered the most beautiful sunset viewing spot in the world. In addition, if in Vietnam, tourists can easily recognize the bridge inspired by the legend of Mr. Ngau and Mrs. Ngau, then Korean tourists can immediately relate it to the fairy tale that children in the land of kimchi know by heart - Ojakgyo and the story of the cowherd and the weaver girl.
Greek newspaper Kathimerini described the bridge as "imperfect", and its perfection could only be "completed" by kisses from both sides of the bridge. "The bridge is not for cars, but for walking, kissing and taking selfies," Kathimerini described.
Appearing continuously in international media and being praised by the world even though it has only been opened for a week, with this "push", the Kissing Bridge promises to be a "magnet" attracting global tourists, becoming a "symbol of Vietnamese tourism" like the Golden Bridge (Da Nang) has done.
