Hue City Opened Night Pedestrian Zone Around The Imperial Citadel
Hue's night pedestrian zone around the Imperial Citadel was officially inaugurated on Friday evening, April 22, 2025, after a period of planning and development aimed at enhancing the city’s appeal. This opening comes as part of ongoing efforts to promote tourism in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic and its impact on the local economy.
This new pedestrian zone is the third of its kind in Hue, joining the established areas on Nguyen Dinh Chieu Street alongside the Perfume River and in the vibrant backpacker district at the intersection of Vo Thi Sau, Chu Van An, and Pham Ngu Lao Streets. The launch of the night street zone is intended to enrich the nighttime travel experience and stimulate the revival of the local tourism sector.
The pedestrian area encompasses August 23, Le Huan, Dang Thai Than, and Doan Thi Diem Streets, with activities running from 7 PM to 11 PM every Friday and Saturday. A highlight of the zone is the ceremonial changing of the guard in front of the Imperial Citadel. Additionally, visitors can explore various food stalls, participate in traditional folk games, watch art performances, and engage with rituals inspired by the Nguyen Dynasty. Guests will have the opportunity to savor local delicacies, enjoy cultural displays, and observe handicraft demonstrations.
