Hue had been the capital of Vietnam and the residents of this city act as if Hue still is. A day trip around Hue city will have been a great chance to explore the former royal capital of Vietnam.
5km either side of the Ben Hai river was declared a DMZ - a stark contrast to what really took place in this region in Vietnam War. DMZ is worth an exploration about contemporary history of Vietnam.
It is worth the trip to learn about the loyal city of Vietnam.
