steel wire meshes on both sides of the bridge. It was designed by Peter Wyss as a curved walkway to maximise the viewing experience, providing shifting perspective as a visitor walks along the bridge. The walkway, formed of steel and concrete panels set on top of an inverted triangular truss, connects two hilltops at Gunung Mat
Chinchang. The first 25 m (82 ft) of the bridge is straight, followed by three curved 25 m (82 ft) sections, then a final straight 25 m (82 ft) section. At each end of the walkway, the bridge has a 3.6m-wide triangular viewing platform that serves as resting and viewing areas for visitors.

its center of gravity directly below its point of suspension at the pylon head and with the top of the deck at an elevation 660 m (2,170 ft) above sea level. The pylon is anchored onto a concreted pad set at an elevation of 604.5 m (1,983 ft), and its tip reached 686 m (2,251 ft) above sea level. It is tilted from the vertical, at angles of 12° and 2° in two planes, and stabilized by two main back-stay cables, anchored into opposite hillsides. The two ends of the curved bridge deck are connected to two triangular viewing platforms on opposite hilltops. The bridge is designed to carry a up to 250 people.

The curved cable-stayed bridge is 125 meters (410 ft) long and nominally 1.8 meters (5.9 ft) wide, in five 25 m (82 ft) sections: a wider curved central section connected on each end symmetrically to a curved section followed by a straight section. It has steel railings as well as
