1. Luc Bo Culture Space
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 37 reviews
Luc Bo culture space belongs to Hue monument relics which was known as Phu Phu Chinh (the working place of mandarin). Since December 2015, this was become a destination for local people and tourist, a showroom of royal products and rebuilt traditional craft villages. This will be an ideal place, beautiful atmosphere to keep Hue memories.

We visited Luc Bo Cultural Space with our daughters of 7 and 9. They had a wonderful time painting their own conic hats and painting kites while we enjoyed a royal tea. Very friendly staff, eager to communicate and share some tips about Hue. Absolutely recomended! Perfect to combine with a visit of the imperial city of Hue as it just a 5 min. walk from the exit/entrance.

I took a chance visiting the XQ Hand Embroidery Museum since there many reviews anywhere. What a treat and surprise awaited me! This is also a workshop where there are lovely ladies working on amazing works of art embroidering pictures that look like paintings using one silk thread at a time! The atmosphere exudes tranquility, beauty and kindness. Not to be missed.

This former site of the old capitol has a moat and ten ornate gates guarding a palace, temples, gardens and tombs. Its most prominent feature is a tall flag tower.

After visiting several tumors in Southeast Asia particular Vietnam, this one is stunningly different. You will climb many flights of stairs to reach the pinnacle, and it is well worth the effort. The architecture, design, the color schemes, and the general feel of this tomb is different than any other I’ve seen. A good guide can explain the history and the story behind this monument . Make sure to take time to enjoy the spectacular view of the surrounding valley.
5. Thai Hoa Palace

This captivating palace, full of symbolic statues, is situated just inside the Citadel’s main entrance.

Just after crossing the magnificent "Cua Ngo Mon", the awesome "Noon Gate" of the Imperial Citadel, you will reach "Thái Hòa" - the "Palace of the Supreme Harmony". Built in 1805 by Emperor Gia Long, it is a landmark of Hue Imperial Citadel. "Thái Hòa" is certainly the largest and most beautiful palace in the Citadel's complex. In its interior, the famous golden throne of the Emperors of the Nguyen Dynasty, surrounded by innumerable red lacquered columns, with emblems of royal dragons. It was mainly used for the Imperial court's rituals, such as celebrations, anniversaries, weddings, coronations and diplomatic ceremonies. "Thái Hòa" palace was pretty much damaged during Vietnam War, but has been restored to its full beauty! And remember, Hue and its monumental complex was appointed by Unesco, in 1993, as a "World Heritage Site"! Another good reason to do not miss it! Enjoy!

This was the first of the three tombs that we visited with our private driver on our historical tour around Hue. Beautiful gardens and interesting buildings, you work your way from the entrance through to the final resting place. We didn’t hire an audio guide but felt there was sufficient explanation, in English, to satisfy us. Easy to spend a couple of hours here.

Part of the imperial city citadel tour, we visited 3 ancient tombs of 3 kings of ancient Vietnam. Get a good guide, and he/she will explain why the 3 tombs are vastly different in styles and architecture, the religious beliefs that determine the layout of each tomb, and also all the interesting information of each king. You can’t say you have been to Hue if you have never visited the Imperial City Citadel and the Royal Tombs! This is a must visit!

Did a day tour from Hue with TNT Travel (booked through sinh tourist). Cost 499k dong, including a really decent packed lunch. This option for me was much more straightforward and better value than getting dropped off at the visitor centre and then getting car from there. It was a great day. Views from the summit Tower are excellent. We got to walk through a cave tunnel used by vietnamese soldiers (all the fruit bats in there added to the experience). There is an easy or challenging path down to the 5 lakes, we did the challenging path. It involves some climbing along rocks, using ropes to hold on to, ladders. Everyone in our group loved it. Moderate level of fitness required, it's not too tough you just need to be OK with a bit of clambering and climbing. Though if it's rainy I would say it's much more slippery/difficult. There were no real issues with leeches, it was a dry day until near the end. Spotted 3 small leeches on the ground and on one of our groups' shoe. More annoying were the wasps at the 3rd lake (very persistent) and ants on the trail from there (they bite).
