Dong Hoi Citadel Thành Đồng Hới
Short restored walls and a gate
Walk the short restored sections of Thành Đồng Hới, with a moat, an east gate, and an arched bridge toward the Nhật Lệ. The ward page says more than 200 years of wall remain only in pieces. It is not a complete imperial city. Ho Chi Minh Square sits inside the same area and has no photograph here. The fee and the hours are check on arrival.

This was a Nguyễn defensive work in the Trịnh–Nguyễn wars, on the ward page. More than 200 years of wall remain only in pieces. After restoration, that page says the east gate and the arched bridge toward the Nhật Lệ became the part visitors study. The photographs show restored brick, a white gate tower, and an arched bridge. They are not Quảng Bình Quan.

The 2024 heritage list places Thành Đồng Hới in Đồng Hải and ranks it history and architecture. The ward page places the remaining walls in the old Hải Định ward, with a moat. Ward names changed. Use both and do not draw a new map. The second frame is water and garden at one corner. Do not read a moat width into it.
Ho Chi Minh Square is inside the same citadel area, on Hùng Vương, and the ward page measures it at 6.8 ha. It has no licensed photograph, so it is not its own card. A separate ministry-ranked site for a June 1957 visit is not this square. The fee and the hours for the walls are check on arrival. A tour card’s free label is not a citadel tariff.
