 (Vietnam Visa On Arrival) The central province of Thua Thien –
Hue has adopted a programme on developing new services in the ancient imperial
city of Hue, with the aim of attracting even more tourists to the world heritage
site.
Under the programme, the province
will offer transport services using environmentally-friendly vehicles like
bicycles, electric cars, horse-drawn carriages and boats, to tourists to travel
between attractions in the city.
At Vong Canh hill, which overlooks
Perfume River, a pavilion will be built following the traditional architectural
style of Hue and telescopes installed to give visitors a chance to fully enjoy
the scenery. There will be tours bringing tourists from Vong Canh to other sites
such as Nam Giao altar, Ho Quyen (tiger fighting) arena – Voi Re temple, tombs
of Hieu Dong, Thieu Tri and Cao Hoang, and Hon Chen temple.
By late December, Hue welcomed
nearly 2 million visitors, earning a record 100 billion VND from sight-seeing
fees and services.
The complex of royal relics in Hue
was recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993. The city was the capital
of Vietnam under the Nguyen dynasty from 1802 until 1945.
