The old charm of Hue

"The beauty of Hue is unparalleled, a gentle charm mixed with contemplation"... These lyrics from the song "Hue, My Love" resonate within me whenever I think of Hue, a place that still bears the imprints of a bygone era as a capital city.

Hue may not possess a magnificent beauty, but few places in the country can evoke such romantic and profound emotions. Hue is like a graceful woman in a flowing ao dai, simple and modest, yet possessing a strangely captivating charm.

The ancient capital still retains the majestic images of tombs, palaces, and red-roofed pavilions of the former dynasty, all shrouded in the mysterious aura of time, making those who have set foot here even more eager to explore and understand the historical stories hidden within each architectural structure.

Looking at the pavilions, the gilded wooden doors, or the elaborate carvings, everything seems to transport us back to a glorious, regal, and deeply proud past. The beauty of Hue lies not only in its scenery, but also in the heritage and memories that exist within this land beside the poetic Perfume River.
