* Stop by Thien Mu Pagoda - symbol of Hue city
Located by the romantic river, the Pagoda reflects itself the old-aged features (over 400 years old) with beautiful surrounding view. Inside the pagoda, it is also famous for the relic of Thich Quang Duc Buddhist Monk who set himself in fire (self-immolation) for the freedom of Buddhist community

* Transfer to The Citadel
The former imperial seat of government and Hue's prime attraction, this is a great sprawling complex of temples, pavilions, moats, walls, gates, shops, museums and galleries, featuring art and costumes from various periods of Vietnamese history. Thanks to its size, it is also delightfully peaceful - a rare commodity in Vietnam.
The citadel was badly knocked about during fighting between the French and the Viet Minh in 1947, and again in 1968 during the Tet Offensive, when it was shelled by the Viet Cong and then bombed by the Americans. As a result, some areas are now only empty fields, bits of walls, and an explanatory plaque. Other buildings are intact, though, and a few are in sparkling condition. For the rest, while restoration has been going on for 20 years, there is still quite a long way to go. Allow several hours to see it properly.

* Drive to the Local Market
Once coming to Dong Ba market, tourists may not be able to get out soon as they are so much absorbed by myriad goods and local specialties. Many traditional crafts reflecting Hue's ancient cultural features can still be found here such as: Phu Cam conical hats, Hien Luong scissors, bronze articles of the Duc guild, Phuoc Tich pottery, Ke Mon jewelry, Nam Thuan sweets, Bao La rattan and bamboo products, Tinh Tarn lotus and so on. Besides, Dong Ba market is also an abundant supply of local daily dishes, for example, clam rice, beef noodles, shrimp cakes, pancakes, bean puddings, sour shrimps, etc.
