My Son Sanctuary was the religious heart of the Champa kingdom for nine centuries, and it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999.

It lies about 35 km from Hoi An, the ticket is 150,000 VND (about US$6), and two hours covers the main towers and a Cham dance. Look closely at an old wall and you will find no mortar between the bricks: how the Cham builders bonded them is still not fully understood.

Our guide covers who the Champa were, how to tell original brick from restoration, what the 1969 bombing left, and which tower groups to see first:

Can you see Hue in a day from Da Nang or Hoi An? Yes, if you go in knowing what you want from it.

The drive is about three hours each way over the Hai Van Pass, which still leaves around six hours in Hue: enough for the Imperial City, Thien Mu Pagoda and one royal tomb. It does not leave room for a second tomb or a slow afternoon, and that is the honest trade-off.

Our guide covers car or heritage train, which tomb to choose (Tu Duc for poetry, Khai Dinh for architecture, Minh Mang for symmetry), the best months to go, and why a stop at the top of the pass makes the rest of the day go better:

The white statue above Da Nang Bay is not, strictly, a Buddha. She is Quan The Am, the bodhisattva of compassion, and she faces the sea for a reason.

At Linh Ung Pagoda on the Son Tra Peninsula, the 67-metre statue stands with her back to the mountain, watching over the fishermen of the central coast. Entry is free, the grounds open 06:00–21:00, and an hour there is well spent.

Our new guide covers why she is a woman, what to wear (robes are lent at the door of the shrine halls), the monkeys that will sn**ch your snacks, where to look for red-shanked douc langurs, and how to pair her with the Marble Mountains in one day:

Of Hue's three main royal tombs, Tu Duc's is the one an emperor actually lived in.

He built it in 1864–1867 as a lakeside retreat: he rowed on Luu Khiem Lake on moonlit nights, wrote poetry in its pavilions and watched opera in his own court theatre. Later he wrote the words for a stele more than seven metres tall, 4,935 characters in which he admits his own failings as a ruler.

Our new guide covers what to look for, who else is buried there, 2026 tickets and opening hours, and how to see all three main tombs in a five-hour half day:

In 1776 a village woman, Mrs Tran Thi Dao, paid for a tile-roofed covered bridge so the people of Thanh Toan could cross their canal. The village still honours her at an altar on the bridge.

It is 6 km from central Hue, about 10 minutes by car. Crossing is free; the small farming-tools museum beside it is 20,000 VND. Go early in the morning, while the village market is on.

Our new guide covers her story, what to look at on the bridge, how to get there on your own and when to go:

Two and a half hours is the minimum we would set aside for the Hue Imperial City, and most visitors give it less.

The site is three walled enclosures, one inside the next: the Citadel (Kinh Thành) as the outer fortress, the Imperial City (Hoàng Thành) in the middle, and the Forbidden Purple City at the core. The central axis is what everyone walks. The quieter side temples, the royal residences and Duyệt Thị Đường, the court theatre, are what get missed.

Worth knowing before you go: gates open 7:00–17:00, the changing of the guard is at 8:00 at Ngọ Môn, and Điện Thái Hoà reopened on 23 November 2024 after a three-year restoration. An adult ticket is 200,000 VND.
