Truong Tien Bridge
Cầu Trường Tiền
A steel truss bridge built by the French in 1899, linking the old and new parts of the city across the Perfume River. Its colourful lights at night are a symbol of Hue.
Truong Tien Bridge was completed in 1899. The claim that the Eiffel company took part in its design is widely repeated. The bridge was damaged several times by war and typhoons and rebuilt each time, and its six arched steel spans have become a symbol of Hue. It can be crossed on foot or by bicycle. The south bank has a pedestrian street and night market, while the north bank leads to Dong Ba Market. After sunset, the bridge's lights constantly shift through different colours, and they look best from the riverside park on the south bank or from a dragon boat. Admission is free all day.
