Visit the Imperial Citadel and Forbidden Purple City. The Forbidden Purple City was once the home of the emperor and his concubines. Almost completely destroyed in a fire in 1947, a few buildings are left. The partially restored Thai Binh Reading Pavilion has beautifully landscaped surroundings, including a small lake with a Zen-like stone sculpture and ceramic and glass mosaic detailing on the roof and pillars. Walk with your guide around Dong Ba Market to experience local commercial life activities and shopping opportunities. Dong Ba Market is located in the old part of Hue Royal city at the junction of Dong Ba Canal and Perfume River. A visit to Dong Ba Market helps you to experience the daily life of the locals.
