Experience Hue Tours with sustainable adventures (Source: Internet)Located in Hue City’s Phu Hoa and Phu Hoi Wards, 1 km from the Hue Imperial City, Truong Tien Bridge is a 402.6-meter steel structure built in 1899 under French colonial rule. Designed by the Eiffel Company with six distinctive Gothic arches, it was one of Indochina’s first Western-style bridges, replacing bamboo structures. Named initially after King Thanh Thai, later Clémenceau and Nguyen Hoang, it became “Truong Tien” due to a nearby Nguyen Dynasty mint. Having survived collapses in 1904 (storm), 1946 (war strategy), and 1968 (bombing), it stands as a testament to Hue’s endurance. Adorned with vibrant LED lights since 2002, it’s a pedestrian-friendly hub with eco-vendors and dragon boat docks, offering a perfect blend of romance and sustainable tourism.
