Luc Bo culture space belongs to Hue monument relics which was known as Phu Phu Chinh (the working place of mandarin). Since December 2015, this was become a destination for local people and tourist, a showroom of royal products and rebuilt traditional craft villages. This will be an ideal place, beautiful atmosphere to keep Hue memories.

We visited Luc Bo Cultural Space with our daughters of 7 and 9. They had a wonderful time painting their own conic hats and painting kites while we enjoyed a royal tea. Very friendly staff, eager to communicate and share some tips about Hue. Absolutely recomended! Perfect to combine with a visit of the imperial city of Hue as it just a 5 min. walk from the exit/entrance.

After visiting several tumors in Southeast Asia particular Vietnam, this one is stunningly different. You will climb many flights of stairs to reach the pinnacle, and it is well worth the effort. The architecture, design, the color schemes, and the general feel of this tomb is different than any other I’ve seen. A good guide can explain the history and the story behind this monument . Make sure to take time to enjoy the spectacular view of the surrounding valley.
7. Thai Hoa Palace

This captivating palace, full of symbolic statues, is situated just inside the Citadel’s main entrance.

Just after crossing the magnificent "Cua Ngo Mon", the awesome "Noon Gate" of the Imperial Citadel, you will reach "Thái Hòa" - the "Palace of the Supreme Harmony". Built in 1805 by Emperor Gia Long, it is a landmark of Hue Imperial Citadel. "Thái Hòa" is certainly the largest and most beautiful palace in the Citadel's complex. In its interior, the famous golden throne of the Emperors of the Nguyen Dynasty, surrounded by innumerable red lacquered columns, with emblems of royal dragons. It was mainly used for the Imperial court's rituals, such as celebrations, anniversaries, weddings, coronations and diplomatic ceremonies. "Thái Hòa" palace was pretty much damaged during Vietnam War, but has been restored to its full beauty! And remember, Hue and its monumental complex was appointed by Unesco, in 1993, as a "World Heritage Site"! Another good reason to do not miss it! Enjoy!

This was the first of the three tombs that we visited with our private driver on our historical tour around Hue. Beautiful gardens and interesting buildings, you work your way from the entrance through to the final resting place. We didn’t hire an audio guide but felt there was sufficient explanation, in English, to satisfy us. Easy to spend a couple of hours here.
9. Con Dao Prison
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 62 reviews
Reviewed By JSTrip_77 - Hanoi, Vietnam
The largest and most visually striking of the Con Dao prisons Phu Hai contains the original tiger cages that, if you visit Hoa Lo prison in Hanoi (Hanoi "Hilton,") you'll see replicated. We did not take a guided tour but the minimal signage plus the physical structure of the prison itself was sufficient to tell the story . I'm not sure that this place is actually being left to rot like some reviewers say. This is a valuable, historical relic and a site for pilgrimage. If you're only going to visit one prison, this is probably the one you want to see.

The entry fee is little bit expensive but it’s worthy. This palace is the most beautiful palace comparing with Palace 2 and Palace 3 with many flowers and nice decorations
