Some Tips for Your Huế Trip
A few things to keep in mind for your trip:
The sun is strong in Huế! Pack a hat and sunscreen to protect yourself.
When going to Hòn Vượn, avoid using Google Maps, as it can lead you astray. Park your vehicle at Huyền Không Sơn Thượng and hike up. Remember to bring water!
Huế might not be as cheap as you expect. Some restaurants serve small portions, making it seem that way. Also, many eateries close early, so plan your meals accordingly.
If you have the chance, explore the city early one morning. Watch the sunlight dance through the leaves and feel the gentle rhythm of Huế. You'll discover the city's unique beauty.
Looking forward to my next adventure! ^^
