Hue is the only one city Vietnam still has the royal architecture. Coming to the Hue Royal Show in the evening, we would make you have the best time to understand the king\u2019s history as well as the customs of the royal city. There are many things to do at night in Hue city and we think the royal show by night is the highlight that you must do here. Additionally, you can also show the royal music by visiting around Perfume river listen to the royal folk music. After that, we all will put lantern candle in the river with our wishes.<br \/>\n<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2535\" src=\"https:\/\/luxtraveldmc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/imperial-citadel-hue.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"596\" height=\"447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luxtraveldmc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/imperial-citadel-hue.jpg 550w, https:\/\/luxtraveldmc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/imperial-citadel-hue-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 596px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"See_Halong_bay_on_the_bird_view\"><\/span>See Halong bay on the bird view:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With an area of 2,000 square kilometres, scattered all around with more than 1,900 magnificent islands and limestone pillars, Halong Bay is known for its splendid beauty and one of the world\u2019s best natural marvel of all time as well as a long-standing spot in the \u201cbucket\u201d travel list of many travellers.

This is the most exotic, breath taking and unique cave with three entrances. With 1.645m long thrusting through a huge mountain, the cave opens to three entrances, one at the halfway to the mountain top and two at the foothill toward south-east and north-west of Rao Thuong stream. This feature is hardly found at other famous caves of Vietnam, one of alternative option for Son Doong.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2541\" src=\"https:\/\/luxtraveldmc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/en-cave.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luxtraveldmc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/en-cave.jpg 849w, https:\/\/luxtraveldmc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/en-cave-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/luxtraveldmc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/en-cave-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Go_Quad_Biking_in_Mui_Ne\"><\/span>Go Quad Biking in Mui Ne<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The sand dunes of Mui Ne are hauntingly beautiful, a real contrast to the rolling green hills and rice paddies to be found in the rest of the country.
