About 23/8 district
This historic road in Hue City, known for its cultural significance, was established in the 19th century when the Hue Imperial City was constructed. Originally named Ngo Mon Street, it runs past the iconic Ngo Mon Gate of the Imperial City. The name was later changed to Thong Nhat Street, and in 1977, it was renamed 23/8 to commemorate the August Revolution of the Vietnamese people in the previous century. The road is relatively short, measuring only 315 meters, connecting Le Huan Street and Doan Thi Diem Street at either end.
Visitors often describe this road as one of the most beautiful streets in Hue City. Its appeal lies not only in its spaciousness and tree-lined sidewalks but also in the significant landmarks it features. On one side stands the magnificent Imperial City, while on the opposite side is Flag Tower Square, a bustling hub frequented by locals and tourists alike, particularly during the afternoons when the square comes alive with activity.
