"HUE 18/3/08 to 21/3/08" a Hue Travel Page by balhannah

I Arrived in Hue early morning on a flight from Hanoi.

Got the airporter bus to my Hotel which was located in a side lane.

After settling in, I went walking, then hired a cyclo to take me past the main sights. My driver could speak English and was informative.

There is a huge market where you can browse around.

Hue is located on the edge of the Perfume river. Alongside this, is a nice river walk.

On the downside, there are quite a few beggars here.

For meals................
There are plenty of restaurants to choose from, have found them all ok.

I did a full day city tour, which was excellent.

We went to the Citadel first, then a garden house, a incense and conical hat making village and Tu Duc Tomb, which was very impressive.

Lunch was at a city Hotel.

After lunch to Khai dinh tomb, Minh Mang Tomb and the Perfume Pagoda.

It was back to Hue by dragon boat.
A nice, relaxing way to return to Hue, also, I got to see how the locals lived, on and beside the River.

This tour visited the war sites and you went into tunnels where a whole village lived during the War.

It was a pleasant, interesting days outing, even though it was a long day.

For my last day, I hired a boat for 6hours to take me up the perfume river.

I thought Hue was quite nice, easy to walk around. It has some lovely, French colonial buidings.

My favorite sites were the Citadel and the Tombs.
