Amazing Experiences When Traveling to Hue During the Dry Season
Red Flamboyant Trees Adorn the Entire City
Traveling to Hue without visiting the ancient capital would be truly regrettable, as this city always exudes a peaceful, romantic beauty. Everything here is gentle, not bustling or hurried, with life flowing softly every day. However, during the months of May and June, the entire city seems to be adorned in new attire. When every street, along the Perfume River or stretching along avenues like Le Duan, Dang Thai Than, Le Truc,... is filled with the vibrant red of flamboyant flowers.

Thanks to the red color of flamboyant flowers, the entire city seems to be illuminated. It's not an exaggeration to say that budget travel in Hue during the summer must include admiring flamboyant flowers, or else it would be a great loss!
Chilling by the Perfume River
The Perfume River is one of the symbols of the Ancient Capital of Hue and serves as endless inspiration for literature and poetry. If you have time, Mytour suggests you read “Who Named the River” by author Hoang Phu Ngoc Tuong before traveling to Hue, to better understand this unique river.

It's said that Hue lives leisurely and slowly, just like the Perfume River winding through the city. The river doesn't rush, it flows gently and lazily, like the clouds in the sky. As evening falls, the temperature drops significantly, and the cool breeze from the Perfume River soothes everything. That's why many tourists choose to stroll along the riverbank, enjoying meals in the evening.
Cooling off on sunny days with blue sea and white sand
Swimming in the sea is a must-do activity during summer vacations, isn't it? Hue not only offers palaces, tombs, and cultural heritage sites, but also has Lang Co Beach with its clear, cool blue waters, relieving the summer heat. And Thuan An Beach, gently lapped by soft waves on its white sandy shore, is a fantastic spot not to be missed when you choose Hue for your vacation.
