Many tourists who have once visited Hue are intensively fretted with obsessive longing by the ancient capital's tranquil beauty, smiling locals and romantic Perfume River. Used as the country capital of Nguyen Dynasty in 18th through 19th centuries, Hue was a historic witness of the country's lots of ups and downs. Hue is famous for its own traditionally cooked vermicelli - Bun Bo Hue and beautiful smiles of the local women in their graceful threads of purple silk. The imperial city nowadays has made it a tourism hub in Vietnam due to the grandiose collection of king's tombs and its own unique fortified Citadel. A leisurely boat trip to Perfume River enjoying the scenery along the River bank is yet another must-try experience when visiting Hue.
