What To Expect
Temple of Literature & National University
Start the city tour with a visit to the Temple of Literature. Originally built in honour of Confucius by King Ly Thai Thong in 1070, a university was added to the grounds six years later. The university provided education to the royal family and children of the aristocracy or "mandarins". The University remained here until King Gia Long moved the country's administrative capital from Hanoi to Hue at the beginning of the 19th century.
Drop into a traditional teahouse to taste some of the best Vietnamese flavoured green teas, and listen to thousand-year-oldstories explaining the significance of tea leaves to local cultures. Tea is even better when served with some authentic snacks such as sweetened lotus seeds and green bean cake.

5.00Chinh was really lovely. He took us to some temples, tea houses, museum, local food places and also to a beautiful local shop. He explained the history of the places and it was really heart breaking to hear about the history of the places but so happy to see how much they have grown. The food places he brought us to was so yummy. We had many wonderful conversations on philosophy and the way of life. It was definitely a recommended and memorable experience
