Whoever has been to Hue ancient cit

Whoever has been to Hue ancient city will always admire the gracefulness of Trang Tien Bridge.

Build a long time ago, Trang Tien Bridge was made of steel and concrete and supported by huge underwater columns which extent to a depth of over 150 meters under the water. It is composed of 12 spans joining the left bank to the right bank of the Perfume River. From far way it looks like white arches emerging from the blue skyline.

On bright moonlit nights, standing on the bridge you can see myriads of vacillating stars reflecting on the clear and blue waters. How cool and relaxed you feel at that time! The light evening breeze rising from the river caresses your skin and fills your lungs with soft fragrance. All around you are coolness and quietness. In the stillness of the long night you can hear the little waves lapping against the sampans gliding genly below. Now and again a sweet melodious chanty rises from somewhere and then gradually vanishes in the quiet atmostphere.

During the day, however, the sceneries are more lively. Cars, motorbikes and bicycles are streaming towards the other side of the river. Groups of schoolgirls, dressed in white, with conical palm hats on their heads are gracefully walking over the bridge to their Dong Khanh School, talking and laughing merrily. The flaps of their white "ao dai" are fluttering in ther fresh morning breeze just like butterflies' wings.

Tourists will foster sweet recollections of this famous bridge for ever once they have visited this Old Capital City
