bridge seen from afarThe controversial question in the press. Until now, many people, including Hue cultural researchers, still default to Truong Tien Bridge made by the Eiffel Company. Reviewing official history books of the Nguyen Dynasty such as Dai Nam Thuc Luc, Dai Nam Nhat Thong Chi, and even the Memoirs of Indochina by Governor-General Paul Doumer do not specify the "author" of this famous bridge in Hue. Thousands of articles, hundreds of books, including dictionaries about Hue and Truong Tien Bridge, have long recorded that Truong Tien Bridge was built by the Eiffel Company (France). Many people believe that this bridge and the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris are "brothers" and "father" is engineer Gustave Eiffel. But archival documents in the French archives show that is not the case.
