Hue autumn and us ...

We arrived Hue last autumn. We didn't know what the best choice to explore this heritage city is. At first we decided to book a Hue Tour from a travel agency the same as other guest. But we changed my mind when i saw special vehicles on the way. It looked like a Bicycle but there were 3 wheels. I asked the staff of the travel agency and they called them "Cyclo", but there wasn't cyclo tour except booking a "Street food tour", so we booked a private tour with cyclo.

... start the journeys ...

Everything is as our plan. In the morning, Tour Hue by cyclo pick us up at our hotel and the guide followed us by motorbike. We passed Truong Tien bridge and stopped at Imperial Citadel, we explored inside this palace. Then we sightsee around this area by cyclo. To continue the journey, we transfered to Dong Ba market. It was amazing because we could enjoy local food, bought souvenirs which were cheaper than in the shop near destinations and watched "little business woman".

After that, cyclo picked us up again and we departed to visit Thien Mu pagoda. Before we arrived pagoda we had had lunch at a local food stall with traditional cakes: Beo, Nam, Loc. Besides, after visiting Thien Mu, we got on the boat to cruise on Perfume river to enjoy fresh cool air and watch local people life on 2 banks. We stoped at the boat station stand by office which we booked the tour. We walked to take a rest, relax and continued our journey.

... more and more ...

Moreover, we really like to discover main points in Hue, so we hired a motorbike to explore royal tombs. But all destinations in Hue close at 5h00 pm, so we decided to visit 2 tombs (instead of 3 as our first plan). we visited Tu Duc tomb and Khai Dinh tomb.

The unforgetable memories.

Finally we presented ourselves a dinner at My Tam restaurant, a very hot and delicious bowl of Bun Bo Hue. Finish Hue Sightseeing Tour, we came back our hotel and fell asleep without knowing. The day after, we woke up early in the morning and jogging on Nguyen Chi Dieu walking street together, drank coffee and saw the sunrise on Perfume river. Returning to our hotel, we had breakfast before preparing luggage for our flight in this afternoon. We stayed here just 3 days, the space is so peaceful but there is a big attraction with us. According to the receptionist, although many years passed, Hue is still like it before. It's always slow, silent and peaceful. Somebody said that Hue was so boring, but I love this silence, i love this slowness, i love this space and I LOVE HUE ALSO
