About this audio guide
This guide to the Perfume River in Hue starts with the iron bridge crossing it, long credited in guidebooks to Gustave Eiffel himself. Records from eighteen ninety-seven name a different pair of French engineering firms hired to build it. You will hear how the bridge survived a battering typhoon in nineteen oh four and years of patchwork repair, and the question of where the famous name really came from. Stand at the waters edge for the view of the bridge after dark.
