The only stone arch bridge in Vietnam with beautiful architecture in Mong Cai

    Nguyễn Hùng |

    Quang Ninh - Ka Long Bridge, spanning the Ka Long River, Mong Cai City, is considered the only stone arch bridge in Vietnam and also a bridge with beautiful architecture.

    Ka Long Bridge, located in the center of Mong Cai, was designed by a French female architect, constructed by Chinese and Vietnamese workers in the 1950s; it was completed in 1965 by the end of the 19th century.

    This is the only bridge in Vietnam built entirely of stone, not using alloy materials such as cement and lime, but only using large and small stone piles together.
