Hue City

Hue City is full of tourist attractions and has lots to offer to the travelers. Here is a list of things that one can do and places that one can visit while in the city.

Being located in the Southern Eastern region of Asia, this place experiences a hot and humid weather in most months.

• August to December - One should never visit Hue City during these months as it experiences high humidity and traveling becomes quite clumsy. All activities relating to the Perfume River close down.
• May to July - The rest of the months are still okay but not highly recommended due to high temperature and humid climate conditions present here.
