When the evening gradually descends, Long Bien Bridge becomes more sparkling than ever thanks to the bright electric lights. It can be said that the night is a time when the bridge molts the usual quietness to be a gentle and charming girl.
Along the bridge side, you can see a lot of young couples talking to each other and vendors selling lemon tea, iced tea, baked corn, etc.
Standing on the bridge, you can immerse in the cool breezes while chatting with your beloved and feel how glamorous Hanoi at night is.
