Things to do in Hue, Thua Thien - Hue Province: The Best City Tours

January 8, 2022 Roger Rusk

Hue is clustered around the Perfume River, which splits the capital of the Nguyễn Dynasty in two. There are endless must-see historic sites, especially those that are UNESCO World Heritage designated. Sightseeing can include the ornate Imperial Citadel, colorful Thanh Toan Bridge, royal tombs and the Forbidden Purple City. Spend a moment in quiet contemplation if you visit Hue Jungle Crevice, where thousands of citizens were pushed to their deaths.

We really enjoyed our day with Mr. Hung. He speaks very good English and has an encyclopedic knowledge of Vietnam history. We did lots of walking thru the Citadel and various tombs and temples. This is the way to see Hue

It was more than perfect. I was kinda worried about the rain but SUMMER has brought me the rain coat. I rode with Summer on her bike and she took me to some places I wanted to visit and even a place to try some local snacks. That was a very memorable moment and I absolutely enjoyed the tour. Thanks again to SUMMER and I highly recommend this tour to everyone who wants to know more about this city, HUE with a local.

We had a guided tour arranged by our holiday tour operator. We were so glad we did , as you would not know much after. The ride was very exciting, but make sure you confirm the price for outgoing and returning. The lake is full of Lotus flowers in the summer. Tinh Tam Lake was where the Emperors came to relax, also popular with students who also come here to study.

We booked a last-minute day trip to Halong Bay through our hotel concierges on Amazing Sails. We are glad that we did it. The service is very good. The activities were varied enough for a day trip.

What a great golf course we have played. Like all clubs in this area it’s struggling because of Coronavirus with no Chinese or South Koreans travelling, so it was a surreal experience for us. Anyway very good caddies, brilliant course maintained to the highest standards, a great club house with great facilities.
