The hotel in Hue was able to provide a transfer to Da Nang Airport! We arrived at night and drove 3 hours to Hue. The next day we took a tour of Hue city.

Hue is a historic city that served as the last capital of Vietnam's Nguyen Dynasty. While it is less known among domestic tourists compared to Hanoi, Da Nang, Nha Trang, and Ho Chi Minh City, it is often included as a day-trip destination when visiting Da Nang. As the final capital of the dynasty, Hue is home to iconic attractions such as palaces and imperial tombs. The harmonious blend of Western architectural styles and Vietnam's unique designs adds to the city's charm. For travelers looking to avoid areas crowded with Korean tourists during their Vietnam trip, Hue is highly recommended. Unlike Da Nang or Hoi An, Hue has relatively fewer Korean visitors, offering a more authentic overseas travel experience. Another notable advantage of Hue is its pleasant environment and well-maintained cityscape. While major cities in Vietnam often face issues like air pollution and inadequate urban planning, Hue offers well-developed park facilities along the Perfume River, perfect for jogging or cycling. A stroll along the scenic riverside will leave you with unforgettable memories, especially the stunning sunsets viewed from the riverbank. Above all, the food in Hue is exceptional. Every restaurant in the region provides satisfying meals, and the affordable prices allow travelers to enjoy a variety of dishes without financial strain, making it a major attraction for visitors.

Khai Dinh Tomb stands out as one of the most unique and elaborate royal tombs in Hue.

Climbing the stone steps, you’re greeted by stone statues of guards and mandarins, lined up in quiet formation. Inside, the real treasure awaits: the intricately decorated main hall, where walls and ceilings are covered in vibrant glass and porcelain mosaics. The detail is stunning, especially the ornate ceiling above the emperor’s tomb. Though smaller than other royal tombs, Khai Dinh’s artistic grandeur leaves a lasting impression.

This time I will introduce tourist spots in Vietnam. This place is a little far from the city, so it is highly recommended to go there on a tour.

Another popular check-in spot in Hue City is the old amusement park that has been abandoned for a long time. The dragon statue at the Thuy Tien Lake amusement park stands 20 meters tall and is about 50 meters long, surrounding a water pavilion. Tourists often stop to take photos from the floating bridge leading to the dragon statue and enjoy the view from the dragon's mouth. When we visited, many foreigners liked to climb up and take photos from the top of the dragon's head. The atmosphere is eerie and scary, so it's recommended to visit before it gets dark to get beautiful photos. Motorcycles can also drive close to the giant dragon statue.

Hồ Thuỷ Tiên is an abandoned theme water park. Road goes through a few old rusted water sliders and other attractions. The place is surprisingly very well-maintained. There are very few tourists, though they were more than I expected to see in an abandoned place. There aren't much shade, so I'm glad that I came there in early morning when it wasn't that hot still. My friends and I spent about an hour strolling around and taking pictures of the old creepy roller coasters and sliders. Overall, it's an interesting place to see. On one hand it is such as shame that it got abandoned. On the other hand, it surely got some weird kind of charm that a working waterpark cannot possibly have. #themeparks #vietnam #hue 📍Address: CH5H+5CG, hồ Tiên, Thủy, Thủy Bằng, Hương Thủy, Thừa Thiên Huế, Vietnam

#traveldiaries This is Ho Thuy Tien Waterpark in Hue. It was temporarily opened in 2004, and before the official opening, the entire playground was closed due to lack of support.

It takes about 25 minutes and half an hour to get there by bike from Hue city in Vietnam 🇻🇳. #hue #vietnam

#VietnamTravel My visit to Thuy Tian Lake was a special and mysterious experience. Located near Hoi An, this lake is famous for its parks that add charm and eccentricity to the place. While walking around the lake, I felt the tranquil atmosphere of the surroundings where nature has captured most of the ancient architecture. The giant dragon sculptures surrounding the main building were one of the highlights, giving the place a special sense of adventure. Although desolate, the natural and exotic beauty of the place attracts visitors who want to get away from the crowds of tourists and have a unique experience.

Emperor Khai Dinh's Tomb - This is a royal tomb that boasts a unique beauty, combining European and Asian, ancient and modern architectural styles. It was built with concrete, but maybe that's why it's turned black...? This place boasts a grand and unique color from the entrance building. It's the tomb of the 12th emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty, Khai Dinh (1916-1925), and it was built over 11 years from 1920 to 1931.

When you climb the stairs with the largest dragon carved on both sides of Vietnam, you enter a small palace, with two rows of stone statues of elephants, horses, military officers and civil servants facing each other. At the end of the tomb are pointed obelisks to show the stability and majesty of the Nguyen Dynasty, and in the center is a monument to Emperor Bao Dai, who recorded the merits of his father Emperor Khai Dinh. Emperor Khai Dinh ruled from 1916 to 1925, the latter half of the Nguyen Dynasty. This tomb is a Western-style concrete structure that was started in 1920 and completed in 1931. It is characterized by the many European architectural styles that were influenced by French colonial rule. The Gothic-style buildings and spires made of stone and concrete look like European cathedrals, and even the faces of the stone statues guarding the emperor have Western faces. The main building, the Gyesongjeon, where the emperor's tomb is located, has a bronze and gold-plated life-size statue of Emperor Khai Dinh, and the emperor's remains are said to be located 18 meters underground under the statue.

Hồ Thủy Tiên (Thuy Tien Lake) is a smallish natural lake located about 8km south of Hue’s Imperial City. An old entertainment complex that nowadays is abandoned. Here you can find the famous dragon structure. The park is currently open and unattended – we had no trouble moving around as we wished. You can even climb a staircase to the top of the dragon’s head. The entrance fee is around 1$ each, no proper tickets are given, since is not a legal activity. The guard that should take care of the area accepts 1$ to let you visit the dragon. #Vietnam #hue

The Khai Dinh Tomb is about 10km from Hue city. It was built by the 12th emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty of Vietnam. The tomb, lavishly decorated with mosaic pottery, looks dazzling at first glance, but somehow lonely. This may be because Khai Dinh was merely the emperor of a colony under French rule, but he imposed a heavy 30% tax on the people to build the tomb, and spent a huge amount of money on French ornaments, losing the affection of his selfish people. The Vietnamese around me were not enamoured by the beauty and splendour, but rather seemed cold and ashamed, perhaps because it was the tomb of such a hated emperor. ◆Kaidinh Temple / Lăng Khải Định Address: xã Thuỷ Bằng, thị xã Hương Thuỷ Opening hours: 7:00 – 17:30 (open all year round) Price: Adult 100,000VND, Child (7-12 years old) 20,000VND
