Many people only visit Da Nang and Hoi An when they come to China and Vietnam. However, if you like history and culture, there is one important city that you must not miss, that is Hue. It used to be the ancient capital of Vietnam, so there are many royal customs left behind. Because it is full of history and culture, it will have a different tourism style. However, the weather in Hue is really sultry. It is considered a hotter area in Vietnam, and because it is relatively rural, the roads are slightly uneven. The experience of traveling will be significantly different from that of a big city~ This time I came to China and Vietnam with Phoenix Travel. Let me share with you my recommended itinerary in Hue, Vietnam.

The mausoleum is mainly designed based on the porcelain art with the statue erected directly above his tomb. Due to the modern times of his reign, his tomb is mainly designed based on Neoclassical, Baroque and Gothic elements. The tomb is also listed under the UNESCO World Heritage Site together with other structures within the Hue complex.
