Vietnam
The old capital, a short drive north of Da Nang
Quieter than the coast. The citadel, the river, and Dong Ba market are the week. Plenty of people come from Da Nang for a weekend. Some of them stay.
It suits someone who wants a slower Vietnamese city and does not need the beach every morning. Hue Central Hospital is a public hospital. It is not a Tuesday GP.


South-east of the centre, a residential side of the city with local markets rather than citadel gates. People looking at a longer stay often start here because it is ordinary Huế, not the visitor loop.
The imperial city and the streets just south of it, across the Perfume River in the commercial centre. This is the Huế people come to see. Staying here puts the citadel in walking distance and puts you in the busier part of town.
The riverside strip upstream of the citadel, garden houses and a quieter bank of the Perfume River. It is a pleasant place to be based for a few nights if you want the water without sleeping inside the old city.
Three things the site keeps for you. Reading is public. The checklist and the journal are yours.
