Both Dinh Tien Hoang Street in front of Hue Imperial Inner City and Nguyen Dinh Chieu Street along the Huong are particularly romantic and they are attracting tourists to Hue City who stroll the streets for the carefree and tranquil feeling which offsets the noise and congestion of urban life in larger cities.

The inner city is rather small so the streets are narrow and they are shaded by trees that are green year round. Dinh Tien Hoang Street is lined with flamboyant flower trees. In the winter, the weather is blissfully cool, even cold to the reckoning of some Vietnamese, making it a wonderful getaway from the blazing heat of HCMC. Green moss-covered walls wake old memories of the city’s long traditional history.

Nguyen Dinh Chieu Street, which is rather short and deserted, offers a panoramic view of the Huong River and Trang Tien Bridge. The romantic view, fresh air and quiet atmosphere here inspire many foreigners to jog in the early morning and a lot of young couples to enjoy the peace and quiet of the sunset.

The Hue ladies in their long white traditional dresses and conical hats complete the romantic picture.
