 Be careful of the ground
you walk on! by sailor_p
However, do note that the ground would be wet. Hue is unlike the major cities like Singapore or Bangkok, the grounds are generally made of soil where it would turn muddy after a downpour. You need to be cautious if you are cruising along the Perfume Pagoda as you need to do a bit of "jumping" at the moorings.
In addition, the grounds at the royal tombs are covered with moss too. So, it may be slippery for walking. Hence, it does help if you have a pair of walking shoes with good grip.
One thing to note, the weather is cooling - which makes the visit pleasant! Leave a Comment

 Beware! by balhannah
I did this, she took me in amongst all the locals floating homes, hands were coming out of boats everywhere wanting money.
She then pulled up against her mothers boat, and begged for money. I was in a precarious position, a woman on my own.
I zipped my bag, and just said, no,no, no!!!
She eventually gave up, and rowed slowly out into the centre of the river. I asked to be dropped off, a half hour only as I felt very unsafe with her.
When I paid her, she tried to keep the change.
DO NOT TAKE A BOAT TRIP WITH THESE WOMEN, IT TURNED OUT TO BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION!
This was a really bad experience for me. Don't trust them.

I arrived by bus in front Sinf Cafe in Hue and once off the bus, I was horded by operators selling from hotels, tours and restaurants. I was on a 14 hours sleeper bus ride from Hanoi and the last thing I want was a group of people starting to push me stuffs. I walked off but there was this operator who followed me for a good 25 minutes and continued his selling speech. I ended up having to give him a hard warning to leave me alone and walked over to Pham Ngu Lao St (another backpackers area) and stayed there.

When booking tickets through the hotel or travel agent, don't pay in full. We were cheated by a travel agent in Hanoi for that. We got hard sleepers instead of soft. In Hue, we paid for 4 berths (2 berths level 1 and 2 berths level 2) in one cabin. Phong Nha Hotel bought for us berths in two separate cabins. They also gave us all level 2 berths. These are on the upper level where you can't sit up at all. The train journey was from 8 am in day 1 to 2.30 pm in day 2 (18 1/2 hours!). Phong Nha Hotel is at 10/10, Nguyen Tri Phuong St., Hue.

You can't get a second visa extension here, however you try, only in or near Saigon.

 My very wet girlfriend! by Mr.Sparkle
Also, you might want to think about getting a good hotel so you have somewhere nice to be if you don’t feel like going out.
