Savour a slower pace with a refreshing visit to My An Hot Springs - an ideal escape after a day spent visiting the local attractions. Located in Phu Duong, this spring is compared to world-class hot-spring destinations like Paven Banis in Bulgaria, and Koundour in Russia. Relax with a therapeutic mineral water treatment.
The gorgeous Elephant Springs are one of Hue's hidden treasures. Given the name because of the large elephant-like boulders that frame the waters, these natural springs are surrounded by lush jungle, and quaint bamboo huts. Travellers can enjoy a swim in the cool water and relax on the flat rocks to the sound of birdsong and falling water.
Flowing through the city, the Perfume River adds a unique beauty to Hue's landscape. Head out on a boat to see the sights with a glass of champagne, or sit down to a delicious meal with views of the river. There are scenic walkways beside the river, and in the evening lanterns are lit for a cosy atmosphere.
