Hue

With its golden beaches, mouthwatering street food, legendary Hai Van Pass, and ever-expanding lineup of cafes, bars, and restaurants, it’s no surprise that Da Nang is often called one of the most livable cities in Vietnam. From the sweeping sands of My Khe Beach to the forested slopes of Son Tra Peninsula, this vibrant coastal hub offers something for everyone — whether you’re here to relax, explore, or indulge.

👑 Step Into Imperial Vietnam

Walk in the footsteps of emperors as you explore the remnants of Vietnam’s last royal dynasty. Wander through the grand courtyards and ancient halls of the Hue Imperial Citadel, and visit the ornate royal tombs of Tu Duc, Minh Mang, and Khai Dinh — each offering a unique glimpse into Vietnam’s regal past.

🍽️ Dine Like Royalty

Hue’s food is a feast for the senses. Begin your culinary journey at Dong Ba Market, brimming with fresh local produce. Then, sample beloved Hue specialties like Banh Beo, Banh Khoai, and Bun Bo Hue, dishes once crafted for kings and still enjoyed with pride today.

🧘‍♀️ Connect with Hue’s Spiritual Side

Hue’s tranquil soul is best experienced at its Buddhist temples and monasteries. Visit the iconic Thien Mu Pagoda, with its striking seven-story tower, and find quiet reflection at Tu Hieu Monastery, the spiritual home of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh.

🚲 Pedal Through Peaceful Countryside

Explore Hue’s idyllic rural scenery by bicycle. The ride to Thanh Toan Bridge takes you past rice fields, duck ponds, and charming farming villages — a refreshing glimpse of Vietnam’s countryside life just beyond the city.

🏛️ Trace Colonial Footprints

Hue’s colonial legacy is woven into its architecture. Walk along Le Loi Street to admire the art déco elegance of La Residence Hotel, and take in the classic French style of Quoc Hoc High School, Vietnam’s oldest high school.
