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

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. The design of the tomb is said to clearly reflect the profound knowledge and romance of the king’s characteristics. With a 36-year reign, Emperor Tu Duc was the longest-reigning monarch compared to the other 13 Emperors of the Nguyen Emperor.
