Hue is the refined gastronomic capital of the Vietnam.
Discover Hoi An, the ancient trading center home to buildings with Chinese and Japanese architectural influence, witness of a past as a lively trading port during the second century AD. Immersed in a variety of spectacular landscapes, Hoi An is UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999.
