If you overstuffed yourself with the food at Chợ Đông Ba, take a 15 minutes’ stroll down to Cửa Thể Nhân, one of the city’s ancient gates built in 1809 under the reign of Emperor Gia Long of the Nguyen dynasty. Lovely sights in there.
Quảng Trường Ngọ Môn (Ngo Mon Square) with the Kỳ Đài (Stage of Flag, a 3-tiered monument with a giant flagstaff) in the background.
Ngọ Môn, also known as the South Gate, is the main gate to the old Imperial City located within the Citadel of Huế.
