Can anyone advise how much the taxi fare from Hue to Da Nang airport will cost us? How long is this ride?
It's a bit of a hike, About 100 k's. There are plenty of buses that go there that only cost a few dollars.
We booked a car transfer from the hotel and it cost us US$65 but very comfortable. But compared to the trip getting to Hue from Hoi An which we paid US$45 - this is expensive. So you might want to ask around.
Note you should ensure that the price you get include the tolls payable along the way.
Also, the view on the mountain road between Da Nang and Hue is beautiful, if you take the tunnel you will miss a good part of it. Given the distance, the journey may longer than expected due to the strict speed limits. The mountain way is about 3hrs, by tunnel 2+ hours.
I could not fly from Hanoi to Da Nang a few years ago, so went to Hue instead. I think the ride was just 2 or 3 hours from the Hue airport to Da Nang. Why not use the airport in Hue? They take standard size jets.
There are heaps of internet cafes. Going rate is generally around 3000 dong per hour.

Sinh Cafe was faster than the one at our hotel, and there were heaps of travellers hanging out there -so lots of people to swap ideas/stories with!
Banh Bao (Steamed buns)
If you wish to try it, look for either a person on a bicycle which on one side of his bike is a wood fire burning, and a steamer located on top. This has the buns cooking inside.
I also saw ladies carrying them over their shoulders!
I didn't try one, even though they looked alright. My guide stopped by the pushbike (one in photo) and showed me what was cooking, certainly different!
To my mind, the most serene of all the Royal Nguyen tombs is Minh Mang - about 12 kms from Hue on the west bank of the Perfume River (and the furthest away from Hue).
Renowned for its architecture, the tomb was built between 1841 and 1843. It's a series of Chinese influenced temples, gateways, courtyards, gardens, lakes, bridges and pavillions, creating a harmonious whole.
Entrance fee is 55,000 Dong.
Hue has a very small airport that has maybe one, at most 2 runways. It shouldn't be surprising considering the small size of the city. It was a long way from town, and we couldn't see it from the road at all.
It seems to be a converted military airport, or maybe one that's dual-use. These old Russian Mi-8 helos are sitting on the runway. For a split second I had a misgiving that this was to be our ride. But luckily it was only an Airbus. Phew.
We had a few meals here. It's also a bar so you can just have a drink. Free pool tables upstairs along with free internet. It gets pretty lively here at night. The walls are covered with traveller's graffitti. I guess they must re-paint every now & then to start again. Can't remember the name of it, but a very nice chicken & noodle dish. They also do chocolate brownies and icecream.
