Landmark features

HOI AN

Hoi An, once a major Southeast Asian trading post in the 16th and 17th centuries, is basically a living museum that houses old-town architecture.Some notable heritage buildings include Chinese temples, a Japanese-designed bridge, pagodas, wooden shop-houses, French-colonial houses, and old canals. Although large-scale trading had long moved elsewhere, Hoi An has been successful in preserving and restoring its charming roots and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in December 1999.

Hoi An Riverside is the best place to be at night as the area is lit by quaint and old-fashioned lanterns, making it an atmospheric and beautiful spot.

All key characteristics that draw photographers to this picturesque town.

HUE IMPERIAL CITY

Hue, located on the banks of the Huong River, (aka the Perfume River) is about three hours north of Da Nang. Among the most impressive monuments in this former grand imperial capital are the Ngo Mon Gate of the imperial city which once was exclusively used by the royal family and their eunuch servants, the tomb of Emperor Minh Mang as well as the tomb of Emperor Tu Duc.

The Complex of Hue Monuments is a UNESCO World Heritage Site

Hue was founded as the Vietnam capital city by Gia Long, the first king of the Nguyen Dynasty in 1802. It held this position for nine Nguyen dynasties until 1945.

ENJOY A PEACEFUL DAY ON TAM GIANG LAGOON

The coastal plain of Thua Thien – Hue has many lagoons such as Tam Giang, Thanh Lam, Thuy Tu, Cau Hai, and Lap An. This is a gathering of all the rivers before flowing into the sea. Among them, the Tam Giang lagoon may be the most famous lagoon that attracts a lot of visitors every year. The lagoon is famous and attractive because of not only its beauty but also the local people with the customs, beliefs, which brings this lagoon a “hidden beauty” of both material and spiritual.

AO DAI HUE -VIETNAMESE TRADITIONAL

In the land of rain and sunshine, the pannier seller also looks respectable. In a faded ao dai because of hard work, patched for lack of fabric or sewing with precious velvet, the women are still elegant, light like clouds, gentle as rice, fragrant as summer lotus in the pond and lake of the Ancient Capital.

Located in the middle of Vietnam stretching the S-shape, Hue belongs to central Vietnam. Hue has beautiful landscapes, Hue has good food. Whether you are a traveler, a writer, a musician, a photographer, who come to Hue but do not see Hue girls with a slender ao dai and a conical hat, your trip is meaningless and you will not bring “Hue” back home with you.
