About To Hien Thanh district
To Hien Thanh Street is a two-way thoroughfare located in the eastern part of Hue City. This historic road dates back to the 19th century, originating from the land of Trung Bo village. It was originally referred to as La Marne by French colonizers, but was renamed Trung Bo Road in 1945. In 1961, the road was officially designated as To Hien Thanh, although locals still affectionately refer to it as Ma Ong Trang Street, meaning "Grave of the Scholar." Despite its modest length of approximately 350 meters, To Hien Thanh Street attracts many visitors due to its proximity to several significant historical and religious sites in Hue City. These include Dieu De Pagoda, known for its stunning scenery, Dieu Hy Pagoda, which is home exclusively to female Buddhist priests, and Trung Bo Church, a notable site for the Christian community.
