Truong Tien Bridge, Hue — The over 125-year-old bridge spanning the Huong (Perfume) River

Translated from Vietnamese
Cầu Trường Tiền sáu nhịp trắng bắc qua sông Hương nhìn từ trên cao

Truong Tien Bridge is the oldest and most romantic symbol of the ancient capital of Hue, construction of which began in 1899 under the reign of King Thanh Thai. The 402-meter-long bridge consists of six steel arch spans designed by the French firm Eiffel, built at the same time as the Long Bien Bridge in Hanoi. Having weathered many historical events — the 1904 storm, wars, being knocked down multiple times — Truong Tien Bridge still stands firm after each restoration, becoming a silent witness of time.

In the evening, the bridge is illuminated by a color-changing LED system, its reflection shimmering on the Huong River and captivating many tourists. You can walk across the bridge, stand near the railing to take photos, or rent a dragon boat to sail downstream and admire the bridge from the river. From Da Nang, it only takes 2 hours by car for you to enjoy this romantic scenery. Combining an afternoon dragon boat ride while listening to Hue folk songs, a riverside baby clam rice meal, and watching the sunset is an unforgettable experience. Truong Tien Bridge is not just a structure, but also the soul of the dreamy land of Hue.
