About Hung Vuong district
Hung Vuong Street is a significant road in Hue City that connects Truong Tien Bridge with the city center. This two-way street stretches for approximately 2 kilometers. As one of the oldest roads in Hue City, it boasts a rich history of over 500 years, during which it has gone through several name changes. Prior to 1910, French colonists referred to this road as 1er Colonial Street, while locals named it Cai Quan, which translates to 'the big road.' A portion of the street was later referred to as Brière (or Rue de Courcy) until 1956, when it was renamed Tu Duc. In 1977, the local government officially designated it as Hung Vuong, a name that has remained in use to this day.
