Trang Tien Bridge, Hue, Vietnam. Trang Tien Bridge is the most beautiful bridge in Hue in Vietnam. Trang Tien Bridge joins north and south of Perfume River in Hue. The north side of Trang Tien Bridge in Hue in Vietnam belongs to Phu Hoa District, close to Dong Ba market in Hue. The South of Trang Tien Bridge in Hue in Vietnam belongs to Phu Hoi District, right in the center of Hue city in Vietnam. In 1897, the French Resident Superior in Central Vietnam - Levecque - assigned Eiffel of France (known for the Eiffel Tower in Paris) to design and build the Truong Tien Bridge. The construction completed in 1899. To date, the bridge has connected the banks of the Perfume River for 114 years and it is even older than the historic bridge of Long Bien in Hanoi (1899-1902). Truong Tien Bridge has many names: Thanh Thai (name of the Thanh Thai King of the Nguyen Dynasty), Clemenceau (a French Prime Minister during the First World War), Nguyen Hoang (The Nguyen lord who explored the central region between the 16th and early 17th century) and Truong Tien or Trang Tien because the bridge was located near a coin casting enterprise of the Nguyen Dynasty. For more than 100 years of history, the graceful Truong Tien Bridge has undergone many changes and ups and downs along with the ancient capital.
