This route was selected not only for its convenience but also because it takes participants through streets steeped in the memories and character of the northern bank of the Perfume River – once the heart of the imperial capital.

Starting from Nghinh Luong Pavilion, right beside Phu Van Lau and at the foot of the Flag Tower, walkers will follow Le Duan Street – a riverside thoroughfare that has witness many historic events.

From here, the group will pass through Cua Ngan, a small gateway into the Imperial City, before turning onto Doan Thi Diem Street.

Named after the celebrated female poet Doan Thi Diem, this tranquil street is shaded by rows of ancient trees.

Dang Thai Than Street opens up a space close to historic architectural works, leading to Le Huan Street – a road lined with the imposing walls of the old citadel.

The journey continues along August 23 Street, a name commemorating the day Thua Thien Hue seized power in 1945, marking a proud historical milestone. This path leads the group through Quang Duc Gate, closing the loop and returning to Nghinh Luong Pavilion.

Each stretch of road is a layer of memory, beautiful in scenery and rich in history, making every step in this walk an extension of the ongoing story of a Viet Nam that is changing day by day.
