What To Do On Chi Lang Gia Hoi Walking Tour?

Uncover hidden charms in an off-beat ancient town

Although Chi Lang Gia Hoi Town was established in the same period as Hoi An Ancient Town, it is unnoticeable in a secluded corner of Hue. Tracing its ruins and learning of its glory makes this Hue city walking tour a thrilling experience.

During this walk in Chi Lang Gia Hoi, you will experience the multicultural aspect of Hue through its excellent representatives, such as the Japanese Martial Arts House.
You will hear the story of a Japanese man who came to Hue during World War II. He started the Karatedo Vietnam after the Japanese Force fell in Asia.
Furthermore, many well-preserved Chinese Assembly Halls, similar to those in Hoi An, are waiting for you to explore on this trip. The only difference is that you won’t fight for space in these quiet yet stunning buildings.

Explore Hue fusion street food in the oldest port town of Hue

People in the neighborhood of Chi Lang Gia Hoi keep a Hue-imbued culinary style. Therefore, an unmissable part is to drop by food stalls to enjoy local dishes.
