Top 10 Nature & Parks in Hue, Thua Thien - Hue Province
Hue is clustered around the Perfume River, which splits the capital of the Nguyễn Dynasty in two. There are endless must-see historic sites, especially those that are UNESCO World Heritage designated. Sightseeing can include the ornate Imperial Citadel, colorful Thanh Toan Bridge, royal tombs and the Forbidden Purple City. Spend a moment in quiet contemplation if you visit Hue Jungle Crevice, where thousands of citizens were pushed to their deaths.

Did a day tour from Hue with TNT Travel (booked through sinh tourist). Cost 499k dong, including a really decent packed lunch. This option for me was much more straightforward and better value than getting dropped off at the visitor centre and then getting car from there. It was a great day. Views from the summit Tower are excellent. We got to walk through a cave tunnel used by vietnamese soldiers (all the fruit bats in there added to the experience). There is an easy or challenging path down to the 5 lakes, we did the challenging path. It involves some climbing along rocks, using ropes to hold on to, ladders. Everyone in our group loved it. Moderate level of fitness required, it's not too tough you just need to be OK with a bit of clambering and climbing. Though if it's rainy I would say it's much more slippery/difficult. There were no real issues with leeches, it was a dry day until near the end. Spotted 3 small leeches on the ground and on one of our groups' shoe. More annoying were the wasps at the 3rd lake (very persistent) and ants on the trail from there (they bite).

I half want to write this review on the Chuon Lagoon— the reason being that it’s such a hauntingly beautiful place, preserved in time, that I want to keep it that way. Although I doubt that’s the case as it’s well visited by many Hue residents in the summer. This lagoon provides the life source for many fishermen; if you take a stroll you will get a peek into their lifestyles where their days are divided into the two trips where they go out in the early am to cast the nets. Then the afternoons when nets are collected, hopefully with fresh catches of the day. The seafood here is well renown for its freshness— I have not tasted better crabs anywhere around the world, including the Maryland Blue Crabs.

I red some reviews that the waterpark was closed due to safety matters but me and some other people managed to get in through the forest. If u are at the gate, ride a bit back, park your bike and take a right on the small road. After a 10 minute walk and some help of gps you will find the waterpark. The park is stunning, the dragon in the lake is a beautiful building, you can take some nice pictures when you are standing in its mouth :). After the dragon you van walk further towards the actual water park with the slides an pools. All in all a great adventure and if u like these kind of places you have to visit this!

We began our trip to Vietnam at the Ana Mandara Beach Resort at Thuan An Beach. I expected it to be relaxing and beautiful. It far exceeding our expectations. Going for walks on the beach every morning as the fishermen were launching their boats was a highlight, along with watching the sunset at the beach. Although such a beautiful resort is there, the area around it is still relatively untouched. I surely hope it remains that way. I can't wait to go back again!!!

Family of 4 with bikes: we biked from Hue to Thien Mu Pagoda, then we took a boat down river to Tomb of Tu Duc. That was a great idea and is highly recommended. The river is very pretty and it gave everyone a rest from the heat before getting on the bikes and and continue to the Tomb. After the Tomb visit we biked back into the city. It was a great day! Don't forget to bring drinks and snacks. Not much in terms of food on the road. But it's an easy bike ride. The Tomb of Tu Duc is highly under estimated in the Lonely Planet. It is a tremendous experience and left all of us utterly excited and moved. We were there at sunset. The tomb closes at 5 pm, so it is worth while arriving at least 1 h or 90 mins before closing.
