Watch the breathtakingly beautiful red sunset on the Red River

(VTC News) - When the sun sets, Long Bien Bridge becomes a meeting place for Hanoians and tourists, where the sunlight dyes the Red River and the hundred-year-old bridge spans red.

As the sun sets to the west, Long Bien Bridge appears to be wearing a bright red coat, reflecting on the slowly flowing Red River. That is the time when many Hanoians and tourists come to the century-old bridge to watch the sunset.

In mid-June, from around 5-6pm - the time when the sunset gradually falls, creating a beautiful scene.

Many people strolled on the bridge, some parked their bicycles on the railing, leaned against it and looked into the distance, where the sunlight gradually disappeared behind the roofs of Long Bien and Tay Ho districts... to admire the scenery and enjoy.

Long Bien Bridge is no longer a stranger to the people of the capital. Built from 1898 to 1902, the bridge was the first steel bridge across the Red River, connecting Hoan Kiem District with Long Bien District. With a length of more than 2,290 m, including 19 steel girder spans placed on 20 main pillars, and nearly 900 m of approach bridges, Long Bien Bridge was once a traffic artery and a symbol of the longevity of the riverside city.

“I often come here in the late afternoon. Every time I stand on the bridge and watch the sunset, I feel relieved. The wind blowing from the river is cool, carrying the smell of alluvium and wild grass from the sandbank... Hanoi is beautiful in a very different way - not noisy but very peaceful,” said Nguyen Manh Ha, 33, who lives on Tran Nhat Duat Street.

Not only on the bridge, in recent years, many people also come to the middle beach area to watch the sunset.

From here, viewers can clearly see the structure of the century-old bridge, bold in the afternoon light.

Another destination that many people choose is Ngoc Lam ferry (Ngoc Lam ward, Long Bien district).

“I have heard from friends about the beauty of Long Bien Bridge at sunset, but when I saw it with my own eyes, I was still surprised by how beautiful and poetic it was. If I have the chance to return to Hanoi, I will definitely come here again,” said Lien Huong, a tourist from Ho Chi Minh City.

It is not difficult to see young people with cameras, tripods, or couples holding hands walking slowly on the old wooden walkway.

When the sun sets, it is also the time for young people, tourists, and many sunset hunters to leave.
