 The entrance lake by SirRichard
A good way to see several is the River Boat Tour (see transportation tips), but I was tired, wanted to see just one, so I chose this, and reached it by motorbike.
It is located 10 kms south of the city, the moto ride takes no more than 20 minutes and costed me 2.5 USD. Leave a Comment

 The main Hall by SirRichard
Then there is the Residence, several pavillions, and the tombs, one for him, one for his son.
Inside the main Pavillion you can visit the Reception Hall, in the Hoa Khiem Temple. Tu Duc used this temple as a palace. There are here many furnitures, mirrors, jars, and other personal items. In the pic you can see the 2 thrones, the smallest being the Emperor one: he was only 153 cms high! Leave a Comment

 Hien Luong Bridge by iwys
I took the Sinh Cafe tour, which departed at 6am returned at 6pm and covered the following itinerary:
Highway 9: The Rockpile-Dakrong Bridge-Ho Chi Minh Trail-Bru minority village-Khe Sanh
Highway 1: Dong Ha-Hien Luong Bridge-Ben Hai River-the Tunnels of Vinh Moc and the Tunnel Museum
Price: US$8
You have to get up early for this one, but it's well worth it. Khe Sanh combat base is especially interesting, if you have read about the history of the Vietnam War or seen the film, 'We Were Soldiers'.
In the picture you can see the bridge over the Ben Hai River, which marked the border between North and South Vietnam. Leave a Comment

 A memorable shot taken with Ms
Thi by sailor_p
Since Huong Giang Travel is based in Hue (though it provides travel services for other parts of Vietnam as well), I decided to take the opportunity to visit this agency - afterall, I am a regular customer! I was impressed that the agency is housed in a colonial two-storey bunglow. And for the first time, I met up with my travel consultant, Ms Thi, whom I have been corresponding over the emails. Finally, I get a chance to meet her in person!
I have written to a number of agencies for quotation and Huong Giang Travel has always given me the best value for great service. I give 5 stars for Huong Giang Travel. Visit www.charmingvietnam.com for more information.

My most abiding memory of Hue is the Perfume River, which flows through the city, under its bridges and past its palaces and temples. Leave a Comment

 TuDuc tomb by galy
The city was severely damaged in the 1968 during the Tet offensive, but many architectural gems remain and are well WORTH a visit.
The only one possible problem--the weather at Hue is notoriously unpredictable, and rainfall is frequent

It is not advisable from a health point of view to buy food on the train from Hue to Hanoi. Whatever they were serving didn't look too flash. It looked like some kind of deep fried cat or dog. Maybe it was chicken. Only the locals were buying. (That is, the ones that didn't bring their own food & portable stoves with them)
Walking down Le Loi to the station to buy our tickets, on the left-hand side (the other side of the road to the river) we came across an interesting supermarket underneath either a hotel or office block.
It was called "Greenmart". It sold all kinds of things, we picked up biscuits (like oreos & jatz), cheese, chocolates, drinks etc to keep us going on the train.

Hue is an ancient city, between 1802 and 1945 it was the imperial capital of the Nguyễn Dynasty, who rules southern Vietnam. The city has about 340000 inhabitants and plenty of sights to be visited. In the city itself there is the citadel (the former Imperial city) and plenty of beautiful temples and pagodas - as well as a colourful market.
Outside the city, along the perfume river, there are amazing royal tombs... those of the Nguyen emperors. All Hue monuments are listed in the UNESCO's World Heritage Sites.
Hue is often looked down upon by visitors - most prefer to head straight to Hoi An, but I found it a lot more interesting, picturesque and by far less touristy... it is colourful and relaxing, too... and after reaching Hoi An, I wished we had chosen to stay longer.
I also liked the traditional fishing village on the outskirts of Hue, very interesting and untouched by tourism... with plenty of great photo opportunities. Leave a Comment
