While in Hue, I decided with my family to go to Duc Son Pagoda. In fact, during an internship in Hue, my cousin, who worked there as a doctor and as a volunteer with her other friends, introduced me this pagoda when she came back home. She told me really great and heartbroken stories about the orphans who are living there since they have been abandoned by their parents at a very young age. That is the reason why I really wanted to see their daily lives, how brave these children are.

What to eat in Hue? I can recommend you some traditional dishes that I ate last time. Hue food is really plentiful with several specialities which are famous throughout the country. Food to eat in Hue is not cheap and there are many kinds of seafood used to make dishes.
Hue 2016 Firsly, before telling my story about the trip to Hue, where is this city located in Vietnam? Huế is a city in central Vietnam that was the capital of Đàng Trong Kingdom from 1738 to 1775 and of the Nguyen Dynasty from 1802 to 1945. You will find below a map showing Hue's location in Vietnam. You are probably wondering what kind of activities I did or which monuments I visited when I was there. Let's start from the beginning. After flying from Ho Chi Minh City to Hue, my uncle, my aunt, my parents and I took the taxi to a hotel called "Hong Thien 1". It was not very far from the airport, so we had time to rest a little bit and then visit the city more during the night. It was my first time there so I was really looking forward to seeing many wonderful things of the ancient dynasty and to see where my uncle lived when he was really young (since he's from Hue, he was really happy to be back to his hometown).
I've been in Ho Chi Minh twice and there are a lot of things you could do there. Apart from the hot weather (you'll need at least 3 or 4 little bottles of water in your bag, in case you'll visit the city from the morning to the noon). First, if you don't have any family there to take you go out and hang out with you, you can go by Uber or taxi (I recommend you to call VinaSun) or the best way would be to be with a group where a guide could bring you out in the safe places.
