HANOI, Vietnam — In the background at right, partly obscured by a thick morning haze, is The Huc Bridge (Morning Sunlight Bridge). The red-painted, wooden bridge joins the northern shore of the lake with Jade Island and the Temple of the Jade Mountain (Ngoc Son Temple).

It spans Hoan Kiem Lake, a central feature of Hanoi, and connects the shore to the Ngoc Son Temple, a cultural and historical site. The bridge is a prominent landmark and a popular spot for both tourists and locals, especially in the evening when it is beautifully illuminated. The vibrant red color of the bridge stands out against the tranquil waters of the lake, creating a picturesque scene that reflects the rich cultural heritage of Vietnam. The Huc Bridge is not only a passageway but also a symbol of Hanoi's historical significance and architectural beauty. Built in classical Vietnamese style, it features intricate wooden carvings and a graceful, arched structure. The Ngoc Son Temple at the end of the bridge adds to the historical importance of the site, as it is dedicated to General Tran Hung Dao, a revered figure in Vietnamese history. The combination of the bridge, the lake, and the temple makes this area a significant cultural hub in Hanoi.
