A city to enjoy Vietnam's history and culture, Hue

Hue is a historic city that served as the last capital of Vietnam's Nguyen Dynasty. While it is less known among domestic tourists compared to Hanoi, Da Nang, Nha Trang, and Ho Chi Minh City, it is often included as a day-trip destination when visiting Da Nang. As the final capital of the dynasty, Hue is home to iconic attractions such as palaces and imperial tombs. The harmonious blend of Western architectural styles and Vietnam's unique designs adds to the city's charm. For travelers looking to avoid areas crowded with Korean tourists during their Vietnam trip, Hue is highly recommended. Unlike Da Nang or Hoi An, Hue has relatively fewer Korean visitors, offering a more authentic overseas travel experience. Another notable advantage of Hue is its pleasant environment and well-maintained cityscape. While major cities in Vietnam often face issues like air pollution and inadequate urban planning, Hue offers well-developed park facilities along the Perfume River, perfect for jogging or cycling. A stroll along the scenic riverside will leave you with unforgettable memories, especially the stunning sunsets viewed from the riverbank. Above all, the food in Hue is exceptional. Every restaurant in the region provides satisfying meals, and the affordable prices allow travelers to enjoy a variety of dishes without financial strain, making it a major attraction for visitors. We highly recommend traveling to the charming city of Hue!

Thai Hoa Palace

Prepare for serious palace vibes—Chinese architecture, shimmering ponds, and tree-lined walks set the scene for an epic outdoor cultural adventure. Top Spots to Visit: 1. Đại Nội (FH9H+9CP, Phú Hậu, Tp. Huế) Open 08:00-17:00, this is Hue's grand Imperial City—walk the mighty walls and gaze at ornate gates and ancient relics under the warm sun. If you're staying at a homestay inside the campus (highly recommended!), you’ll save loads on travel time and nab easy morning access. 2. Kiến Trung Palace (32 Đặng Thái Thân, Phú Hậu) Open 07:30-17:30, with close-up building views and peaceful gardens. Snap pics by the ponds and get that iconic “Chinese architecture + blue skies” aesthetic. 3. Thai Hoa Palace (Imperial City, Hue) Open 06:30-17:00, a must for royal throne room feels and epic activity shots in front of gorgeous lacquerwork. Personal Tip: Slip into a “Nhat Binh” dress before exploring—it’s Hue’s traditional garb and genuinely transforms your palace wanderings into a top-tier experience. You’ll blend right in with the scenic heritage and score unique photos! Travel Tips: Getting around Hue’s Phu Hau area is easiest on foot, especially if you book a homestay inside or near the Imperial City (look for campus listings on trip.com for direct access). Pack a hat—it gets sunny fast! For snacks and drinks, local food stalls around the gates serve cheap eats and iced tea to refuel. No visa required for many nationalities, but double-check before booking. #HueImperialCity #VietnamTrip #PalaceDays #TravelTips #tripdotcom
