Cầu Giấy, Historic bridge near To Lich River, Hanoi, Vietnam
The Paper Bridge spans the To Lich River, forming a crossing point that connects Highway Route 32 from Hanoi to Son Tay provinces.
The Ly Dynasty constructed this bridge opposite to West Gate, initially naming it Tay Duong Bridge, which served as a connection point for trade routes.
Local paper craftsmen from Thuong Yen Quyet village traditionally sold their products on this bridge, leading to its current name Paper Bridge.
The bridge marks the starting point of Highway 32, connecting Hanoi with northwestern regions including Phu Tho, Yen Bai, and Lai Chau provinces.
The May 19, 1883 Battle of Paper Bridge resulted in significant French casualties and prompted increased military resources in colonial Indochina.
