With its special location and landscape potential, the pedestrian bridge has been promoted its function through works of art, contributing to creating a cultural, creative and enhancing community experience space.
Under the creative hands of curator Nguyen The Son and colleagues Vu Xuan Dong, Le Dang Ninh and Can Van An, the Tran Nhat Duat walking bridge has been " put on a new coat". With the theme "water", the group of artists took advantage of the unique terrain of the bridge to create a vibrant and joyful space.
Standing out in the art space on Tran Nhat Duat Bridge is the work called "Thuy Cau", designed as a lively ocean tunnel, where dozens of marine life models such as elephants, horse fish, and Jade swim on the bridge arch.
The entire model is made from recycled materials such as plastic bottles and plastic bags, bringing a brilliant visual effect while still attached to the message of environmental protection.
Along the corridors on both sides of the bridge is a light arrangement with the theme " Waves", reminiscent of the layers of the Red River carrying silt that have built a cultural foundation throughout the history of the nation.
Combined with that are hand-painted paintings imitating the daily life of workers in the capital in the early 20th century, inspired by the research document "The techniques of the An Nam people" by French scholar Henri Oger.
Tran Nhat Duat pedestrian Bridge is located right next to Quan Chuong Gate, connecting Hanoi's Old Quarter with Phuc Tan area. Inaugurated in May 2024, the art project still retains its brilliance.
The ideal time to visit is from 7pm every day, when it is dark and the lights are on. In the evening, visitors can most clearly admire the beauty of this work of art. The bridge has become an attractive check-in corner for young people.
Walking bridges are now not only to ensure traffic safety for people but also to become a new stop, attracting young people and tourists to visit, take photos, or simply to slowly admire a work of art in the spirit of modern urban life.
