The Huc, or Sunbeam Bridge, is a vermillion-color arch bridge that crosses the Ho Hoan Kiem to reach the Den Ngoc Son, in Hanoi. I visited The Huc when I explored Hanoi to document its sights for AsiaExplorers.

The Huc is one of the central landmarks of Hanoi. The people of Hanoi often fill it in the morning when they exercise. At the end of The Huc is the Den Ngoc Son temple, which is open daily, but has admission fee.

How to go to The Huc

The Huc, the Sunbeam Bridge, links the east bank of Ho Hoan Kiem, the Lake of the Returned Sword, to the Ngoc Son temple. You can easily locate it once you reach the lake.
