Thanh Toan covered bridge, the oldest wooden bridge in Hue city from 1776. It is a very special bridge, it not only a normal bridge but also a house on it. In the middle of the bridge, the locals set up an altar to worship Ms Tran Thi Dao- a wife a high-ranking servant under the Le dynasty. She donated all her saving money and designed a bridge to connect both sides of the local cannel.
You will have a chance to visit the early morning local market- unlike Dong Ba market in Hue city center, Thanh Toan village market is a real local rural market.

The City of ghosts” is a local cemetery, with its brilliantly colored structures built on white sand, stretches along the side of the road for 3 kilometers. The locals call it “City of Ghosts”.
As you know, about 90 percent of the villagers have overseas relatives, family members who live in western countries or USA who have been sending money home, much of which is used to build graves. Especially, due to the competition in construction of the villagers, there are a lot of luxury graves costing fifty thousand US dollars for their ancestors or even for family members who have not died yet. They even built in advance to be ready for their death.
The next place we will visit is the Tam Giang Lagoon. Tam Giang Lagoon is the largest lagoon in Southeast Asia with a total surface area of 22,000 hectares. All big rivers in the area such as Perfume River, O Lau River, and Bo River pour into Tam Giang Lagoon before going to the East Sea. Many traditional craft villages are situated along these rivers’ banks and the natural beauty and nearby mangrove forests have made the lagoon a popular tourist destination.

Nowadays, It is the devision border between Hue city and Da Nang. From the top of the pass you can see the panoramic views of Hue and Da Nang.
