Around Hue

Around Hue, a surprising day

Exploring the surroundings of Hue is offering a deep journey into the heart of the Vietnamese soul, where imperial history, bucolic landscapes and centuries-old traditions blend harmoniously. As soon as you leave the ramparts of the old capital, the city slowly fades to make way for a radiant, serene nature, inviting calm and contemplation.

The winding roads along the Perfume River, the rice fields shine under the golden light and the hills are drawn on the horizon in a painting of dazzling beauty. Discreet temples emerge around the bend of a path, peaceful villages reveal their houses with brown tile roofs, and the inhabitants, always smiling, share generously a simple and deeply authentic lifestyle.

Around Hue, each stop tells something: an imperial mausoleum lost in the vegetation, a pagoda nestled on a hill, a popular market where the scents of fruits, incense and spices mix. We discover another rhythm, a rare sweetness, an almost timeless atmosphere - far from the tumult, close to the essential.

For us, these escapades are among the most fabulous in central Vietnam: they offer a perfect balance between cultural immersion, natural beauty and human encounters. It is an invitation to slow down, observe, feel... and let Hué reveal all its nuances, from the most majestic to the most intimate.

Tomb of Tu Duc

Among the green hills that surround Hue, the Tomb of Tu Duc reveals itself as a haven of peace, a delicate refuge where time seems to have stopped. From the entrance, a gentle atmosphere, almost poetic, envelops the visitor: the silence, the freshness of the pines, the whisper of the wind... everything invites to slow down, to contemplate, to feel.

Built in the 19th century for one of the most erudite and refined emperors of the Nguyen dynasty, this tomb is not only a burial place: it is a true miniature kingdom, thought as a sanctuary of beauty and introspection. Tu Duc came there to write poems, meditate, withdraw from the world - and this artistic sensitivity still resonates with each step.

The pavilions harmoniously follow one another around a vast lake where lotus and century-old trees are reflected. The stone bridges lead to small quiet islands, the brown tile roofs draw elegant curves, and the ochre walls bear the traces of time, giving them an authentic and melancholic charm. The discreet scent of pine trees mixed with that of calm water creates an almost spiritual atmosphere, as if the soul of the place still murmurs the thoughts of the emperor.

Further on, the temples, steles and ceremonial rooms bear witness to imperial grandeur: refined sculptures, ancient calligraphy, pavilions adorned with lacquered wood... Every detail tells the life of a sensitive, literate sovereign, passionate about art and poetry, but also the torments of a difficult reign.

Walking through this dazzling site is like entering the intimacy of an emperor. It is to feel the fragile beauty of a garden suspended between dream and memory. It is living an unforgettable moment, serene, out of time - one of the most fabulous experiences that we like to discover around Hue.
