Một trong những điểm nhấn kiến trúc đầu tiên của đền Ngọc Sơn là cầu Thê Húc với màu sơn son
như một dải lụa mềm mại vắt qua làn nước xanh đặc trưng của Hồ Gươm, tạo nên vẻ đẹp hài hòa, bắt mắt.
Được thần Siêu (Nguyễn Văn Siêu) xây dựng vào năm 1865. Cầu Thê Húc là một cây cầu màu đỏ son, làm
bằng gỗ, một cây cầu nối liền giữa bờ với đền Ngọc Sơn ở giữa hồ Hoàn Kiếm. Cầu Thê Húc có ý nghĩa là
“nơi lưu lại ánh sáng” hay “nơi ngưng tụ hào quang”.

One of the first out-standing architectural features of Ngoc Son Temple is The Huc Bridge with the
ocher paint color. It looks like a soft silk strip crossing the typical blue water of the Hoan Kiem Lake (Sword
Lake). This creates a harmonious and eye-catching scene. The Huc Bridge was built by Than Sieu (Nguyen
Van Sieu) in 1865. It was painted with a bright red color and constructed of wood. The bridge connects the
lake bank with Ngoc Son Temple located in the heart of Hoan Kiem Lake. The Huc Bridge has the meaning
of "the bridge where light is absorbed."
