In addition to the majestic palace and mausoleum, Hue also has wonderful natural destinations for visitors to visit and explore.

Traveling to Hue this summer, if you want to explore new perspectives on this land, take your own pocket in the 5 enchanting destinations below.

Don Ca arch bridge

Don Ca arch bridge is an ancient French architectural work, bearing the mark of the early 20th century. Located on the North-South railway line, the bridge is the dividing point between Da Nang and Hue. Although located near Bac Hai Van station and Don Co relic, the unique beauty of the bridge has not been discovered by many tourists due to the difficult road.

The arch bridge is hidden in the lush green of the mountains and forests. At the foot of the bridge are large, places with steep rocks, creating an ideal space for camping and playing on hot summer days. This is definitely an ideal "hot escape" destination, bringing unique and impressive check-in photos.

Hon Van Mountain

When visiting Huyen Khong Son Thuong Pagoda (also known as Huyen Khong 2 Pagoda) in Huong Tra Ward, Hue City, visitors can combine their journey to conquer Hon Van Mountain.

After visiting the pagoda, visitors can start a trekking trip of about 2 hours to reach the top of the mountain. If you go home during the day, visitors can park their vehicles at the pagoda's yard, but if you want to camp overnight, park your vehicles inside the pagoda's grounds.

The road to the top of the mountain is not easy, requiring visitors to cross steep roads and wet cajuput forests. Therefore, summer will be the ideal time to conquer this mountain.

Ru Cha Forest

Ru Cha Forest is located in Hoa Chau Ward, about 15km from the center of Hue City. This is a primeval mangrove forest likened to the " miniature Amazon" of Hue. Coming to Ru Cha forest, visitors will have the opportunity to see the lush green mangrove trees, the winding small canals and a variety of wildlife and plants.

Hai Duong stone embankment

Located in Huong Tra ward, Hue city, the Hai Duong stone embankment consists of large blocks of stone stacked on top of each other to form a sturdy road running along the coast. This is an ideal place to walk to see the sea, enjoy the cool breeze and capture romantic sunset moments. In this area, there are many coastal seafood restaurants at affordable prices.

Tam Giang Bake

Tam Giang lagoon is part of the Tam Giang - Cau Hai lagoon system, the largest brackish water lagoon system in Southeast Asia. This place is famous for its magical beauty, especially at dawn and sunset, when the sun dyes the entire sky and water surface red, creating a beautiful painting of the sea gown.
