Đường bánh canh Hàn Thuyên
The food is good, sold until late at night so everyone can eat comfortably. 15,000-20,000 dong for a bowl (April 2022). Sitting on the roadside is cool.

Quán Cơm Chay - Nhật Lệ
Popular vegetarian restaurant. You only need to let the owner know if you want a rice or noodles dish and she would do the magic for you. The soy milk and lotus seed milk are also very refreshing. Delicious grilled vermicelli.

Imperial City of Hue
Đại Nội
The former imperial seat of government and Hue's prime attraction, this is a great sprawling complex of temples, pavilions, moats, walls, gates, shops, museums and galleries, featuring art and costumes from various periods of Vietnamese history. Thanks to its size, it is also delightfully peaceful, a rare commodity in Vietnam. The citadel was badly knocked about during fighting between the French and the Viet Minh in 1947, and again in 1968 during the Tet Offensive, when it was shelled by the Viet Cong and then bombed by the Americans. As a result, some areas are now only empty fields, bits of walls and an explanatory plaque. Other buildings are intact and a few are in sparkling condition. For the rest, while restoration has been going on for 20 years, there is still quite a long way to go. Allow several hours to see it properly. Inside you can pay US$1.50 (30,000 dong) to dress up in the king or queen's clothing and sit on the throne for a fun photo opportunity.
