The Thuong Thanh walking route has been free to visitors since early March. It runs in front of Ngo Mon, the citadel’s southern main gate and from Eo Bau Nam Xuong inside The Nhon Gate to Eo Bau Nam Thang inside Quang Duc Gate.
The Flag Tower area has been graffitied
On the 800m-long route, visitors can admire and learn about the cannons placed on the Ky Dai Flag Tower, a 19th-century structure, and enjoy the panoramic view of the Ngo Mon site, Phu Van Lau and Nghinh Luong Dinh from a higher perspective, which is quite a new experience even for many locals living in the old capital.
Tourists in the Thuong Thanh area
The Thuong Thanh area has become a popular check-in spot for tourists.
However, recently, the Flag Tower area has been graffitied, so Hue City People's Committee and the Hue Monuments Conservation Centre have decided to temporarily close the route to repaint the affected sections and improve security.
