Huê, Imperial City

This city, which was the capital of this empire many years ago, has such a beautiful citadel and a very alive market. It's surrounded by tombs of great characters done with so much detail and dimensions to prove their greatness and leave a proper mark behind. Also drove around the perfume river, visited an amazing abandoned water park (such a "hidden" gem) and drove till the beach, where locals go for a quick swim and have some seafood with some beers. Still, Hue is a very touristy town (I feel like the southern I go the more touristy made it is), where motorbiks overwhelm you offering you rides and it's hard to find out of the track activities or places, nor move around in a cheap place.

💡Travelling tips: the best way to travel the country is to buy a motorbike when you get there and sell it before leaving, you'll save lots of money and headaches by having your own simple way of transport!
📍Essentials: Abandoned Water Park (you might have to bribe the guard to enter, but when I went I was lucky and didn't cross paths with him), Market
