Long Bien Bridge...Hanoi

#2024WishEvent #LongBienBridge #Hanoi #Vietnam Long Bien Bridge, a famous but rarely visited bridge in Hanoi.. It was built during the French colonial period to connect Haiphong and Hanoi by rail, and was repeatedly bombed by the US military during the Vietnam War, but was restored and is still in use today. Because of this, the mountain-shaped design near the center of the bridge remains in a destroyed state. Long Bien means 'dragon leaping', and there are rail tracks and sidewalks, and bicycles can pass. Recently, there have been concerns about its aging. It is actually a little scary to walk across. There is a theory that it was designed by Gustave Eiffel, who designed the Eiffel Tower in Paris, but the truth is unclear.
