Hien Luong Bridge across Ben Hai River, which divided North and South Vietnam during the American War, is only 178 m long but it took 21 years for Vietnamese people from the North and the South to be united. The bridge is the witness to the Vietnamese people's fierce but glorious struggle and a reflection of their desire for and belief in victory. Relic sites located on both banks of the river have been recognised as special national historical relics. (Photo: VNP/VNA)
