Quiet city of Hue

Thien Mu Pagoda

Hue is a quiet, relaxing city, big enough to be interesting but small enough to bicycle around. The food is some of the best in Vietnam, and the women are known to be the most beautiful in the country. The coastline between Hue and Nah Trang is unimaginably beautiful.

Popular in Hue include the old imperial complex, The Citadel and the Forbidden city, the pagodas, and the many tombs of the emperors that lie a few kilometers south of the city. Each tomb is a walled compound containing temples, palaces, and lakes.

The cuisine of Hue draws food-lovers from throughout the country. The most striking difference is the prominence of vegetarianism in the city. There are many vegetarian restaurants around town to serve local and foreign visitors. The strong Buddhist belief of eating vegetarian twice a month is still prominent to this day.
