Thanh Toan Bridge Thanh Toàn is a small village located 8km from Hue city center to the south direction. Because of the short distance, the village can be reached easily in many ways such as biking, motorcycle riding, car or even cyclo. The village still maintains green rice fields and vegetable gardens which give tourists a peaceful feeling when coming here. Some people visit Hue’s famous palaces, pagodas, and tombs on the first day and choose Thanh Toan for their second day in the city. Visiting the village is not only a sightseeing trip but also a chance for tourists to have closer exposure to the local life of Viet Nam in general and Hue in particular

Hue Imperial City (The Citadel) As a massive work with high architectural value, Hue Citadel was built over a period of nearly 30 years - started in 1804 under the reign of King Gia Long and completed in 1833 under King Ming Mang. The construction is a unique combination of traditional Vietnamese architecture, Oriental philosophical ideology, and Yin-yang theory, influenced by a type of Western military architecture called Vauban. Hue Imperial City was built in a square shape, arranged with 4 doors in 4 directions, of which the main one is Ngo Mon and the remaining three are Hoa Binh, Hien Nhon, and Chuong Duc. In addition, inside the Imperial Citadel, there are Thai Hoa Palace, Dien Tho Palace, and Hue Purple Forbidden City… which are divided into many different areas with different purposes. The entire inner construction system is arranged according to the symmetrical axis, in which the center is arranged mainly for the King.

Thien Mu Pagoda For visitors, this Buddhist site has the grand, ancient architecture to marvel at and photograph. Its long history (from the 17th century) allows us to learn a lot about what happened in the site, city, and country in the past. Thanks to the hilltop location, one of the best spots to view the Perfume River is here, especially during the sunset every afternoon.

Dong Ba Market is the Biggest and Oldest Market in Hue City. Under King Gia Long, it was located outside Chanh Chanh gate (Dong Ba gate) of Hue Citadel.

Tomb of Tu Duc Emperor Tomb of Tu Duc is located in a narrow valley of Duong Xuan Thuong village (currently Thuong Ba village, Thuy Xuan commune, Hue city). It was the place where he could retreat from the Citadel to compose poetry or go hunting because the monument was finished when the king was still in reign.
