  • The bridge was inspired by local folklore that speaks of a mythical crane, a bird symbolizing longevity and wisdom, often appearing in Vietnamese temples as a spiritual link between the natural and divine worlds. This story inspired the bridge’s design concept, “The Crane Facing Thien Mu,” with the bridge’s arches symbolizing the outstretched wings of a crane gracefully soaring across the river, in reverence to the sacred pagoda.

Officially opened to traffic on March 26, 2025, Nguyen Hoang Bridge is a newly constructed bridge spanning Huong River (Perfume River), boasting a unique design that contributes significantly to the landscape and urban aesthetics of Hue City. According to the design consultancy team, the inspiration for the bridge was drawn from the image of a crane flying toward Thien Mu Pagoda. This concept is reflected in various decorative details reminiscent of the Nguyen Dynasty, most notably the 64 golden parasols symbolizing the grandeur of the imperial court. With its royal yellow and artistic lighting system, the bridge attracts a large number of locals and tourists visiting to admire its architecture. VNA Photo: Nguyên Lý
