Gogerous images of Da Vien Islet

Da Vien Islet that was formed by silt deposits from the Huong River (Perfume Rvier), covers more than 100,000 square meters with 890m in length, and 185m in width.

Da Vien Islet, a small island, which was officially named by King Tu Duc, facing the entry to the Hue Royal Palace. When building the Phu Xuan Royal Palace in the early 19th century, King Gia Long during the Nguyen Dynasty chose Da Vien as a White Tiger and Hen Islet as an Azure Dragon. The two powerful creatures was used to guard the emperors’ throne in the former Imperial City of Hue. 

After King Tu Duc, owner of the Da Vien garden, died in 1883, the Nguyen Dynasty was facing a crisis. Da Vien soon became deserted and was destroyed by a storm in 1904.

In 1908, the Hue  -Quang Tri railway line was built with two bridges – Bach Ho and Da Vien crossing the islet.

In 1957, a water tower and water supply plant took shape, giving the royal garden a facelift.
