Thanh Toan Tile Roofed Bridge
Instant booking available
Thanh Toan is a wooden bridge, 4 m wide and 17 m long. Located at Thanh Thuy Village, it is about 8 km east of Hue City. The first bridge was built over two centuries ago by Mrs. Tran Thi Dao who offered funds to build a wooden bridge. Mrs. Dao was the wife of a high rank Mandarin under the reign of King Le Hien Tong.
The bridge was devastated by storms, floods and wars. The villagers together contributed to repair and renovate it many times. In 1991, it was recognized as one of the national vestiges.
Nowadays, the bridge attracts lots of tourists because of its old architecture and historical and cultural values. This tile-roofed bridge has been an inspiration to many local people and travellers, with its poems still being handed down or engraved right on the bridge.
At 8:00 am, the guide will pick you up at the hotel and the tour begins by riding a bicycle to Thanh Toan Bridge, 8 km from the city centre. On the way, you can enjoy the fresh air of the country, witness green paddy fields, irrigation canals along the road, the country village scenes with flocks of ducks waddling about the yards. You will visit Thanh Toan Bridge, temples, the colorful daily market of the village. Don't forget to meet Mrs. Dieu, who can read and foretell your future. From here, you will continue to cycle around the village and back to Hue. Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant, with a specialty menu from the country village, and return to your hotel.
