HUE NIGHTLIFE Hue things to do and travel tips by Threeland Travel

Hue, the ancient capital and now a tourist drag, still remains its vaguely quaint beauty.

Once you have time, let’s experience a night on Scent River. On one bank of it, large verdant grassland at the foot of Ngo Mon gate of Dai Noi palace is ideal for some walk. On the other bank, there are some lovely informal cafes, with hundreds of seats outside (normally full of families and pilgrims). You can also opt for a slow but cool cyclo across Trang Tien Bridge.

Perfume river on a Dragon boat: Folk singing on the Perfume riverYou can also hire a boat for 2 hours and listen to Hue royal music on boat. Five women sing and a man plays instrument. Worth a try for sure.
