    Here, the two tourists explored a series of famous places such as Hue Citadel, Khai Dinh Tomb, Minh Mang Tomb, Mat Biec Cafe, Bao Vinh Old Quarter... However, the place that left the deepest impression on them was still Hue Citadel. In the photo is Kien Trung Palace - one of the 5 unique and important structures located on the sacred axis of the Forbidden City - Hue Imperial City, which has just reopened after 4 years of restoration.

    In addition to its vast area, Hue Citadel overwhelms visitors with its beautiful architecture, bearing the imprint of ancient cultural traditions. From the colors, decorative details... everything exudes luxury, splendor, meticulousness but not ostentatious but discreet, delicate, true to the character of Hue people. Photo: Interviewee
    “Moi nguoi nen danh ra ca 1 ngay de kham pha va chup hinh o Kinh thanh Hue vi o day rat rong, kien truc dep, co kinh. Ban chi can gio may len la co anh dep roi”, chi Tien khang dinh. Anh: NVCC
    “Everyone should spend a whole day exploring and taking pictures in Hue Citadel because it is very spacious, the architecture is beautiful and ancient. You just need to raise your camera to have a beautiful picture,” Ms. Tien affirmed. Photo: Interviewee
    Tuy nhien, vi la lan dau den dia diem nay nen vo chong chi Tien, anh Manh gap kha nhieu bat tien trong qua trinh tham quan. Anh: NVCC
    However, because it was their first time visiting this place, Ms. Tien and Mr. Manh encountered many inconveniences during their visit. Photo: Interviewee

Khi vao Kinh thanh Hue, muon tim quan ban nuoc hoac do an rat kho va phai di xa”, chi Tien cho biet. Anh: NVCC
    “The inconvenience that I did not foresee was that the Hue Citadel was too big and we went there around noon, so it was sunny and tiring. We forgot to prepare snacks like banh mi and drinks. When we entered the Hue Citadel, it was very difficult to find a shop selling drinks or food and we had to go far,” said Ms. Tien. Photo: Interviewee
    The next day, Tien and her husband learned from their experience and went to Khai Dinh and Minh Mang tombs at 7am: “At that time, the sunlight was gentle and beautiful, so it was easy to edit the photos. We also brought banh mi and water so we wouldn’t get tired during the tour.” Photo: Interviewee

Minh o 3 ngay moi chi kham pha dc 1/10 am thuc Hue thoi”. Anh: NVCC
    In addition to the beautiful scenery, Ms. Tien believes that cuisine is also an attraction of Hue: "When coming to Hue, tourists must definitely try Hue beef noodle soup and snacks such as banh beo, banh nam, banh loc, duck fertilized with gourd, Hue sweet soup, tapioca starch sweet soup with roasted pork, mussel rice, wet rice... I stayed for 3 days and only discovered 1/10 of Hue cuisine." Photo: Interviewee

    The most important thing tourists need to prepare is their health because the places in Hue are very large, requiring a lot of walking to thoroughly explore each historical story here. Regarding the cost, only about 2 million VND/person can explore Hue in 3 days and 2 nights. Photo: Interviewee

    Ms. Tien humorously shared that one of the most valuable things she brought back from Hue was the photo album that she and her husband took at the Imperial City. Having a passion for capturing beautiful, memorable memories at each tourist destination, Ms. Tien affirmed that she had learned many secrets to taking beautiful photos that not all tourists know.

    “You should rent traditional costumes outside before visiting Hue Citadel. Don’t forget to rent photo props like fans, umbrellas, lotus flowers... to pose naturally and look more noble. The umbrella also helps you block the sun,” Ms. Tien shared. Photo: Interviewee

    Tourists should rent traditional costumes for 2 days to take many photos at many different locations at an affordable cost. In particular, you should visit from 7am because at this time the sunlight is beautiful and the weather is cool. If you are tired at noon, you can go home to rest and after 3pm go back to visit and take more photos. Photo: Interviewee
    Du khach di chup anh nen mang do toi gian nhat co the nhung nhat dinh dung quen mang nuoc loc va do an nhe. Anh: NVCC
    Tourists going for photography should bring as little as possible, but definitely don't forget to bring water and snacks. Photo: Interviewee

    “Hue has a unique beauty, very peaceful and ancient. The quiet, majestic beauty of the palaces, mausoleums, and temples left me amazed. Life in Hue is slow, not rushed. I really like Hue and if I have the chance, I will come to Hue a lot to continue exploring the unfinished things,” the female tourist affirmed. Photo: Interviewee
