Thua Thien-Hue Province is located in Central Vietnam. It is next to Quang Tri Province to the north, Danang to the south, and Quang Nam Province to the south-west. This province leans up against the Truong Son mountain range and is washed by the East Sea, along its 120km seashore.

     Dishes that are identified with the former imperial city of Hue number over 1,000. Most preferred, however, are beef rice noodle, rice cake, rice flan, rice cake with shrimp, mussel rice, grilled meat rolls, and lotus seed sweets

Shopping in Hue is typically characterized by the Vietnamese local market tradition, where the artisanship and culture offered is more than usually found elsewhere.
