Cầu Thê Húc, also known as The Huc Bridge, is a pedestrian bridge over Hanoi’s Hoan Kiem Lake. Its dark red railings create a clear landmark above the water. The bridge links Hoan Kiem Lake with Ngoc Son Temple, a cultural and historical site. The bridge is recorded as wheelchair accessible for crossing between the lake and temple. Its paved deck rests on round wooden pillars arranged beneath the crossing. Gilded lettering reading The Huc Kieu appears on the dark red railings. The name Cầu Thê Húc refers to the rising and perching sun. The bridge carries a long history of reconstruction, including work that replaced its wooden foundation with cement. Two students set the bridge alight in a recorded act of resistance against French colonial rule. Its position beside Hoan Kiem Lake brings the red crossing close to Ngoc Son Temple. The bridge gives the lake crossing a clear connection with Hanoi’s cultural heritage. Cầu Thê Húc remains a recognizable landmark beside Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanoi.
