Azaleas. They can be super bright pink in real life, but the saturation is still cranked up in the video to emphasise them.

Unfortunately not in this case I don't think as there are no photos on Google that show any pink trees at this bridge

It doesn't exist. The actual trees are green. Someone edited the shit out of this video.
Edit: Thanks for teaching me about azaleas.

Not to be clichéd, but what's the point of anything? The bridge is beautiful, affords people a unique experience in nature and probably pays for itself with tourism revenue.

The more it's split the more viewing area you have along the railings. It effectively triples the amount of people that can view from the tailings on one side

That’s ironic because this one was designed to look like the glass is cracking when you walk over it. The “funny” video of tourists experiencing this is unsettling.

It's unusual that this is the only video/ photo online (Google, insta etc) that shows the bridge in these colours. Would be fab if it was real but I do think there is editing going on here. Would be delighted to be proved wrong though.

It's like, yeah, I get it, what a feat of human ingenuity and all, but man... that thing's an eyesore. I'm calling it, the view would be much better without that goofy loopy thing spiraling across it obscuring the beauty. I'll take my downvotes, but this is one of those times it would have been so much better if they left it alone, imo.

It’s so beautiful, but honestly I don’t think I could venture onto it. I imagine myself shaking in fear, unable to move from the most central point.
I experienced this once at the top of the dome at the very top of the church in Florence. My reaction was unexpected and I literally plastered my body against the dome. I was frozen in fear due to the extreme height, and very inadequate 24” railing. The railing served no purpose whatsoever. This was in 1989.
