On the way to Thuan An Beach, a narrow lane leads over a small bridge off of the main road at a curve some 6km (3 3/4 miles) north of Hue. An immediate right after the bridge brings you along the small river area where Ho bathed during his time here, and just about 100m (328 ft.) farther brings you to the humble home, a reconstruction, and new temple that mark the site where the leader spent formative years during his father's study for examinations to become a mandarin (government official).
