Nguyen Dinh Chieu Walking Street

Nguyen Dinh Chieu Walking Street is a riverside pedestrian promenade on the south bank of the Perfume River in Vinh Ninh Ward, Hue City, Hue Municipality. Stretching along Nguyen Dinh Chieu Street between Truong Tien Bridge and Phu Xuan Bridge, it was developed as a public leisure and tourism space. Notable for its river views, public art installations, book and art stalls, and evening food and craft vendors, it serves as a popular evening gathering place for locals and visitors.

Visitors can expect a flat, paved riverside promenade lined with trees, benches, decorative lighting and public art installations facing the Perfume River. The street offers open views of the river, Truong Tien Bridge and the north bank, with spaces for walking, photography and relaxing. In the evenings, especially on weekends, the area becomes vehicle-free with stalls selling street food, drinks, books, handicrafts and artworks, plus occasional street performances and small cultural exhibitions.

Named after 19th-century poet and patriotic scholar Nguyen Dinh Chieu, the street lies along a historic section of the Perfume River in central Hue. It was renovated and inaugurated as a walking street in 2022-2023 as part of Hue City's program to develop riverside public spaces and night-time tourism infrastructure.

Functions as a community cultural and leisure space hosting public art displays, book fairs, art exhibitions, street performances and seasonal festivals. Its riverside setting reflects Hue's tradition of river-based recreation and evening social gathering, providing a contemporary venue for local artists and vendors.
