The woman conquers the Vietnam Sapa cloud bridge

To manage her fear, TikTok user @kharite_travels shared that she resorted to an emotional coping mechanism: praying in all African languages. She described the experience as incredibly challenging yet fulfilling. She paused in the middle of the 15-minute bridge as the strong, rainy, and windy weather threatened to push her off the slippery path. She humorously concluded her ordeal by calling herself “dangerous,” asserting that she was capable of anything, but acknowledging that the walk was far from easy. The caption proudly stated that she was the first South African woman to climb the Sapa Cloud Bridge.

Some noted the wide gaps in the bridge’s steps and admitted they would have fainted from fear. One viewer familiar with the bridge added context, explaining that the bridge naturally separates further as a person walks across, making the journey tougher.
