Bridging the gap between old and new, Nguyen Hoang Bridge gives Hue's skyline a fresh connection. Spanning the Perfume River in Vietnam, the modern steel-arch landmark opened to traffic on 26 March 2025. Its design, called 'The Crane Facing Thien Mu,' draws inspiration from a local legend and nearby Thien Mu Pagoda.
