The road trip from Hoi An, will take you via Danang where famous China beach is popular with tourists. If you are visiting outside the rainy season you may want to spend time here.
Our driver was arranged by our Hotel in Hue. It was a pleasant trip with great views from the top of the Pass, which is a dividing line between North and South Vietnam. Tmnet Streamyx Bill Service arrive to a small settlement, and the locals ( read touts) greet you, right at the car door accompanying you wherever you go!
We arrived in Hue, the original capital of Vietnam until 1945, early afternoon. Orchid Hotel, home for the next three nights, was just off the main road which borders the Song Huan river = better known as the Perfume River, and a sacred stretch of water for the Vietnamese.
We were delighted to find our hotel was only two doors away from The Japanese restaurant - set up by a Japanese man, Mr Michio Koyama, to educate and train street children and now disabled children. The traditional Japanese meal was delicious, and cheap. Served by a delightful young girl, this restaurant is to be recommended.
Settled into our rooms, (we had a computer IN our room), it was time for lunch. Being in the central area, where most hotels and restaurants are located, we were able to walk most places.
We walked across the impressive bridge spanning the Perfume River looking for Lac Thien restaurant. Famous for being run by a family of deaf mutes, this is another eating experience not to be missed. The food is cheap and tasty! From here you are only a block from the Citadel .
The Citadel - a Tourism Malaysia Heritage site.
Built in 1687 this city with a rich and chequered history, was heavily bombed by the Americans. Currently, the Vietnamese are in the throes of a major reconstruction. It is an amazing place - a whole city within 10 kilometres of brick walls, surrounded by moats.
Entered through the Ngo Mon Gate -one of ten gates-you find yourself in a huge courtyard lined with fascinating stone figures. Climbing the stairs you will want to turn around to look at the Flag Tower, which is directly opposite. Adsl Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line can then wander at your leisure. Look out for

Royal Tombs and broadband networking Boats
We were unanimous in our decision to save our feet and take a Dragon Boat down the Perfume River for a day trip. Again this was organised at reception in our hotel. We were only ten minutes from the Boat dock, which was located at the back of the Arts Centre.
Seated on plastic garden chairs one behind the other, we chugged down the river. A husband and wife, with baby happily playing on the floor, worked the boat together.
This is a wonderful way to see the locals at work and play. Many are living on their boats, while others had all the machinations for work. The riverbanks were an ever changing slideshow of pagodas, houses, schools, countryside and all kinds of interesting activity which kept us intrigued. The camera at the ready!
- You can choose where you want to stop and what you want to see. We opted for Thien Mu Pagoda - a must see right on the edge of the river.
- Hon Chen Temple - a working temple - small but picturesque
- Tomb of Minh Mang - another must see. This was a real surprise. It is very beautiful with gardens, fascinating buildings, a small lake and all situated just up a path from the river
Some of the Royal Tombs are some distance from the river's edge and you would need to hire a motorbike to see them. If the Tombs you want to see are too far, it is probably better to hire a motorbike or car from Hue to tour them.
We found our boat trip, which was a full day, gave us three very different, but all Fast Dsl worth while experiences. We just stepped off the boat and were right there.
You could spend more time in Hue, but two days gave us a good view of the city and surrounding areas.
Driving back to Danang Charter High Speed Internet we had a stop at Lang Co Beach.The weather was not great that day, but this long, white sand beach would have been a lovely place to stay a few nights had we had time.
