About this audio guide
This guide to Truong Tien Bridge in Hue traces the six-span steel crossing's double life: grandstand for the city's dragon boat race on the Perfume River, held every year since nineteen seventy-five, and survivor of typhoons and wartime collapses since French engineers raised it in nineteen hundred. You will hear about the enduring dispute over whether Gustave Eiffel truly designed it. Best heard leaning on the railing at dusk, as the bridge's lights begin to change.
