Visitors will have the chance to watch the Changing of Guards at Ngo Mon Gate, performances of nha nhac (Hue royal court music) at Thai Hoa Palace and The Mieu Temple, and royal games and calligraphy in the palace courtyard.

Unicorn dancing and martial arts will replace the royal games on the second and third days. All performers and acting royal guards will dress in traditional costume.

At Khai Tuong Lau Pavilion inside An Dinh Palace on the south bank of the Huong River, visitors will enjoy a collection of antiques used by the country's last king, Bao Dai (1926-1945).
