The architectural complex here includes many magnificent palaces, including the Thai Hoa Palace, Phung Tien Palace, Kien Trung Palace.

Since Hue was the capital for more than a century, so many kings of this dynasty were built their own tombs. Most of the tombs here are built along the banks of the Perfume River, spending at least a day, you can discover all the tombs here.

I visited the Tomb of King Tu Duc, a tomb complex built between 1864 and 1867, while the King was still alive. The tomb is located around a beautiful lake, with many architectural harmony, liberal harmony with nature.

4. Having a "royal dinner"

This will be a very new and exciting experience, especially suitable if you travel in large groups. Have a dinner at any large restaurant in Hue, where you will be wearing the same outfits as the kings of Vietnam. While enjoying the "royal" dishes are decorated periodically, you will enjoy traditional music and served by a "entourage."
