Description: |
|
The ancient city of Hue (pronounced 'whey') in central Vietnam
was the capital of Vietnam during the Nguyen Dynasty at the
beginning of the 19th Century, and during the Vietnam-US war
some of the most intense conflicts occurred in this region.
One of Hue’s main tourist attractions is the spectacular
riverside Hue Citadel or Royal Palace of the Imperial City,
built according to the practices of ‘feng shui’. Such is Hue’s
historical significance that it is recognised today as a World
Cultural Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Although Hue is not
strictly a coastal city, beach lovers will not be disappointed
as there are several good beaches like Thuan An, less than 15
minutes away – you can even cycle there! In short, Hue is a
perfect location to explore the cultural heart and soul of the
Vietnamese people while still having easy access to the beach.
Under an hour away there are several more beach options. The
likes of Lang Co and Canh Duong Beach are perfect for day trips.
Just over 650km south of Hanoi and almost 1,100km north of Ho
Chi Minh City (Saigon), Hue is well served by all forms of
transport – including bus, rail and air. |
