The Imperial City is absolutely beautiful! The Chinese captured many Vietnamese professionals such as architects, engineers, and designers whom worked on the Forbidden City. An Nguyen, the chief architect, was one of the most famous professionals captured who worked on the Forbidden City (this information was not something the Chinese wanted known, but the Brits uncovered this information after much research).

[@tuananhtranhuu]

And Hồ Nguyên Trừng, the prince of the Hồ dynasty, who was captured after China had invaded in 1407, later invented new technology to develope new generations of cannon that were more powerful and effective The Ming dynasty worshipped him as the leader engineer in military weapon industry

[@mikeandashley]

Oh wow! That’s really interesting. The architecture in Vietnam is stunning, it’s no wonder other cultures would want those skills for themselves.

Dont bullshit, the Chinese Forbidden City predates Hue palaces by more than 4 centuries.

[@dachaongo5666]

@@saigonpunkid We are not talking about the construction time, we are talking about the Chinese carved and sculpted patterns, which are not as beautiful in pattern as the Hue citadel.

There is a tip: Before you eat any kind of soup in Vietnam, you should taste little spoon first. If the soup is suitable for your taste, you dont need to put lime, chilly or seasoning more . You dont need to season it all the time, some restaurant they make the soup perfectly and you can enjoy right after they bring the soup for you!

[@mikeandashley]

Thanks for the tip; that's good to know! 😊

[@Keyonvu2609]

I and my best friend drove motobike from Da Nang to Hue city in 2019 under heavy rain. We went through a lot of scenery, from the great mountain of Hai Van to beautiful beaches and lovely rice fields and fishing villages. We wore raincoat while visiting Kinh Do Hue, that was crazy fun and we couldnt stop laughing. Although the weather was very bad and dangerous and we spent only 3 hours their, our the trip was very satisfied and it think it's one of the best trip that I had in my life. I'm planning to visit Hue again next months.

[@mikeandashley]

That sounds like quite the adventure! We would love to motorbike the Hai Van Pass the next time we're in Vietnam.
Have fun on your next visit! 🥰

[@ngocinh7369]

I am a spectator from Vietnam. We are very pleased to have you visit our country. I feel that the scenes are getting more and more beautiful and I wish you a happy journey

[@mikeandashley]

Thank you so much! We’re happy to be here. Vietnam is such a beautiful place. ☺️

[@20luzer52]

I'm glad you were able to visit Hue and top notch thumbs up for spending time in the Citadel. It's often overlooked but that's Hue. It's a very low key city and its people are known for their quiet and gentle demeanor but tough as nail belief and principle. I had a chance to visit Hue 18 years ago and it has two absolutely drop dead gorgeous high schools on Le Loi street. I got to see an amazing sight where hundreds of high school female students came out of the school gate dressed in ao dai on a special day I think. Hundreds of them came out riding their bicycles with their ao dai fluttering in the wind while boys were in their school uniform.

[@mikeandashley]

That sounds like a beautiful experience to witness! We wish we had more time to explore the city. Hopefully next time! 🥰

[@BootsandUtes]

My fiancee and I didn't get to go to the Imperial City of Hue when we visited Vietnam, but we have seen many videos of it. However, your video is, hands down, the best travel vlog of the Imperial City I have seen. You two captured the age, majesty, and architecture of the place perfectly. It's a beautiful video. Thank you for sharing.
Side note: My fiancee is Vietnamese American. Bun thit nuong is never eaten with soy sauce. I am surprised that the restaurant had soy sauce. It's always eaten with nuoc mam pha -- a fish sauce mixture.

[@mikeandashley]

Thanks so much! 🥰 That makes us happy to hear. We were in love with the surroundings there. You guys should definitely check it out when you can!
It may not have been soy sauce 😬 I may have just mis spoke. 😅

[@BootsandUtes]

@@mikeandashley Lol I think that explains it. Yes, we will definitely go check out the Imperial City if we get a chance to return to Vietnam. Thank you for the recommendation.

Hue and the Imperial City were definitely one of the highlights of my Vietnam trip 27 years ago, I can't believe that I haven't gone back. Hopefully over the next 5 years I start to revisit the places I visited on that trip. I certainly didn't spend $16 to enter but they obviously need the money for restoration work. Thanks for trip down memory lane.

[@mikeandashley]

It’s such an amazing place! The $16 was unexpected, but in the big scheme of things, it’s not that big of a deal, and if it goes to help the renovation, we can’t be mad about it.
We hope you enjoy your trip! ☺️

[@patrickandmichaela]

Awesome video guys! This made me miss Vietnam so much! Out of all the places we've traveled it is where we want to go back to the most. Thanks for sharing your travels! ♥

[@mikeandashley]

Thanks so much! We want to always go back everywhere we’ve been. It’s the home body in us! Vietnam is so amazing. Thank you guys for watching! 🥰

[@tandalat]

Nice video capture of the citadel in Hue. Agree that it would take half a day to cover that place in details. It took us (with two little boys) a good 2-3 hours to see half of what you guys saw. As for the $8 entrance fee, let's put it into perspective that it costs €19.50 for Versailles Palace or €28.50 for both the Palace and the garden in Paris.

[@mikeandashley]

Thanks so much! ☺️ And that is a good way to think about it. The price wasn’t too much by any means, but for our typical daily budget, it’s more than we’d normally spend. However, we feel it was totally worth it to see such an amazing place. We’ve certainly spent more money and gotten less value before. Thanks so much for watching. 🤗

[@doodahgurlie]

You guys showed WAY more of the Imperial City than most vloggers as they just run in and out. It's so beautiful there! But it saddens me that so much of it was bombed into oblivion during the Vietnam war when more bombs were dropped there than all of WWII. I hope they are able to recreate the city, but it won't have that old ancient look to it that makes it special (all the moss/lichen, worn-in, etc.). I wonder if your ticket included the ride in the golf carts around the city? I have a feeling it does.

[@mikeandashley]

Yea! We figured we only really had enough time to do that, so we’d do it as best as we could. It was such a fun place to walk around for us. We love exploring places like this.
It is a shame that the Palace was bombed and destroyed, and it would be amazing if it still had the aged look, but I’m sure the new palace will be awe inspiring as well! ☺️ As always, thanks for watching! 🤗

[@musicful7036]

From 1802 to 1945, Vietnam was ruled by the Nguyen Dynasty, which had its capital in the city of Hue. The Nguyen Dynasty was the last monarchy in Vietnamese history. Guards of the Nguyen Dynasty stationed in the imperial city of Hue had about 40,000 people. The Guard force is again divided into three types. King Guards (the king’s subordinate who guarded the forbidden citadel), including 1 joint and 4 independent defenders. For a total of 143 years, the Nguyen Dynasty was a dynasty that marked many ups and downs in Vietnam history, especially the French invasion in the mid-19th century.

[@mikeandashley]

Thank you so much for the history lesson! There is so much about Vietnam we still have to learn. We wish to return and spend much more time here getting immersed in the culture and history. ☺️

[@SilkyRonTheRoad]

Loving that speed walk Ashley! And we are gutted that we missed this place! We spent a week in Hue playing music in bars and restaurants and then on our last day went to visit the imperial city… but it was closed! 😅
We will for sure return in the future!

[@mikeandashley]

Haha, thanks! 😂
That’s a bummer you missed the Imperial City. We wish we would have gotten to see more of Hue, but we were so short on time. There are definitely reasons to go back for all of us, it sounds like. Vietnam is such an amazing country. 🥰

Thai Hoa Palace is the most important work in Hue Citadel and it is fortunately left.That place is located the throne of the emperor of Vietnam, I have seen it about 10 years ago. Currently being restored, not rebuilt. It is expected to be completed by 2025 because of its high complexity. very nostalgic and dignified

[@mikeandashley]

📌📌 Hue beef noodle soup when eating, you should use a spoon and mix well, mix the spices together

[@mikeandashley]

Thanks for the tip! We’ll try this next time. 🥰

[@doodahgurlie]

I was hoping you'd try the peanut and salted coffee while in Hue as that's where they originated. As far as the food, it all looks great, but you could have added more sate (the chili sauce with lemongrass) and a bit of shrimp paste (if you can handle it). Never seen soy sauce added to bun thit nuong before, but you do need to stir it all up before eating so you can get an even distribution of the sauce. And when Ashley says bun bo Hue correctly, I was so impressed! Yes, it's "boo-oon baw hu-way" (roll it all into one syllable as Vietnamese consists of only one syllable words that you may go up and down like a rollercoaster). LOL

[@mikeandashley]

We didn’t know about peanut and salted coffee! 😱 We would have loved to try those!
I could be wrong, but I thought the soy sauce came with it, but it may have come with one of the other things. 😬🤷‍♂️ Either way, it was delicious! 😋
And we’re trying to get the pronunciation of the words down, I feel like sometimes we nail it and others we fail, but we’ll keep trying! 😅😂

I still can't get over how VN can provide a night life for people of all changes, locals and tourists, that is safe and fun and reasonable in terms of cost. Seems like nightlife here in the West is an adult thing with bar and dance spots, not for children, not to mention quite expensive.

[@musicful7036]

You're comparing apples and oranges. 2 different countries with 2 different cultures and lifestyles. Yeah like children in Vietnam can drive scooters wildly on the streets with no adult supervision, no helmet no forms of safety protection ? Reckless and irresponsible parenting is very common in Vietnam. There's laws and regulations in the West where parents are held accountable for the safety of their children.

[@20luzer52]

@@musicful7036 You're right about adult being held accountable and act to protect children safety here in the West. I guess that's why there's increasing school shootings WITH NO CHANGE IN TREND. Increasing teenagers physically assaulting publics and their own teachers and conversely police physically abusing teen agers then lying about it as shot the teenager in self defense, WITH NO CHANGE IN TREND. I recall group assaults, gun shooting breaking out at city celebration here in the US, way to go, at a happy celebratory event and we have fight breaking out. I love how you describe it as "on the streets with no adult supervision" and focus on riding scooters while totally avoiding the fact that we're talking about children walking and playing in the streets at night safely, while we here in the States are deathly afraid of our children play in a suburban neighborhood out of fear of kidnapping or street violence.

In the past, Vietnam was a colony of China for 1000 years, so it is not surprising that the culture and architecture are very similar to China, even the writing in the past was borrowed from China, until the last century. The new 20 uses the current latin script.
But I'm impressed with your chopstick skills, just like an Asian 😅

Please don't say that we borrow our writing from China because China did not even exist yet.

Good morning from SoCal,
How are you two doing? It’s always great to watch your videos walking us through your visiting trip in Vietnam.
So finally Ashley had bún bò Huế at its birth place. Good job Ashley!
$8 plus for the admission, I think it’s a rip off! There got to be better way to generate revenue than taking advantage of the visitors. That’s why the majority of the foreign visitors don’t want to return. Truth hurts. Sorry my friends.
Sorry that Mike got hurt because you forgot how tall you are. You remind me of my oldest son, the tallest in the family, around 6’, so I always ask him to grab things for me from upper cabinets. I always tell him that it’s a privilege to be the tallest in the family so don’t complain!
You mentioned that Hà Nội would be your next destiny. Can’t wait to see what you got for us in that video.
Thank you for sharing your videos with us. Good luck and be safe.

We also feel the $8/person is a bit high, but as long as it’s going towards the renovations, we can’t complain. ☺️
I’m constantly knocking my head on stuff. I think it’s made it into a few videos before lol. And yea, the blessing and curse of being tall is you’re tall, but now you’re required to help those that are height challenged with basic tasks. My mom does the same! 😂

what street/area close to food places/center city within walking distance, would u recommend ?

[@mikeandashley]

We stayed in this area and really enjoyed it. Nice eateries, things to do and proximity to attractions. maps.app.goo.gl/m5shStzjxSjNS1jo8?g_st=ic
There are a number of good hotels and guesthouses that are quite affordable as well.

Hello! 👋☺️

I hate the Nguyễn Dynasty if the Tay Son dynasty still exists I think Vietnam could have more land from China which they took alot from Vietnam and Vietnam could develop even better than Japan

[@mikeandashley]

Interesting! It’s crazy how certain events change the course of history.

[@DiepDao87]

@@mikeandashley yeah! Vietnam’s 4000 years history and culture are very interesting! Good to see you guys in my lovely country!

2:00 I would take a little guess and say that Ashley enjoyed the Bun Bo "Hue" better here, because this dish is native to "Hue", Vietnam 😂 I'm really impressed that she's building the noodle soup properly with all the right veggies, even squirting in the lime to round it out perfectly.

[@mikeandashley]

Yes! She definitely preferred the one here. She wasn’t thrilled about the first time we had it in Da Lat. Ashley is ALL about “the perfect bite.” 😂 Always building out the best bites on her spoon or even sandwiches.

@@mikeandashley I'm Vietnamese American and I still have to ask parents and elders how to eat things the proper aka traditional Vietnamese way, you're doing as good or better than I could, have been really enjoying watching your adventures the last few days. I'm an extremely picky eater and combined with growing up in the US, i would have what most would consider an undeveloped or uncultured food palate, watching you both is giving me a spark of curiosity that I haven't felt before and giving me a little courage--"wow if these two adventurers can do it, i can probably do it too!" Will continue watching yall on the way to other destinations, and just hoping for the best for you two on your travels!

[@mikeandashley]

That’s awesome! I’m glad we’ve given you some courage to try new foods.
We’re still pretty wimpy on the typical food vlogger scale, but we always want to try anything we can!
So far all of the Vietnamese food we’ve tried has been amazing. There’s still some out of our comfort zone stuff we may need to check out though!

Man, they didn't give you enough meat on the bun bo hue. Did you order a really basic one?

[@mikeandashley]

We just ordered a grilled pork version. It wasn’t all the meats like it can be.

[@greenalien3857]

You should never eat or drink ice in vietnam or you will get hepatitis it's from the tap and not cleaned,so a few times should be okay like 5 or 6 times if you forget , but after 9 times you shouldn't ever drink it even if it's in coffees. That's what the local vietnamese won't tell you.

[@mikeandashley]

Oh no! That doesn't sound good. Thankfully, none of that for us!

Hoàng Thành Thăng Long có quy mô còn lớn hơn Kinh thành Huế , tuy nhiên nó đã bị phá huỷ trong các cuộc chiến tranh

[@mikeandashley]

Man, that’s such a shame. It would have been amazing to see. We really enjoyed our time in Hue, learning a little about the history. ☺️ Thanks for sharing! 🙏

[@hungnguyen-tr4cn]

Should eat Bun Thit Nuong with fish sauce with hot chili but not with soy sauce those

[@mikeandashley]

I certainly added chilis! Maybe that sauce was for something else! 😬 The dish had fish sauce in it for sure though! 😋 So delicious! Thanks for letting me know though.

Do chiến tranh nên bị tàn phá 1 phần

[@mikeandashley]

That makes sense. 😕 We found that out as we were editing, but not while we were there unfortunately.

[@NhatVinhLe-lm5jh]

Không phải 1 phần mà gần như 90% bị tàn phá bởi chiến tranh và thời tiết khắc nghiệt .
Kinh thành Huế chỉ được chăm sóc và trùng tu một số hạng mục , trong cả trăm công trình bị tàn phá vì chiến tranh và thời tiết .
Tôi nhớ hồi năm 1990 . Kinh thành Huế điêu tàn lắm , vào đây thậm chí còn không thu vé . Bây giờ thì đỡ rồi .

[@John_DaMan]

no offense, but spending the whole day in hue at the imperial city is a waste of time haha...plenty of better places to see

[@mikeandashley]

Yea, we would have liked to see more, but the imperial city was so large that by the time we were done, we only had an hour to get our bags and get to the bus, we were rushing! Next time we’ll plan more time in Hue so we can explore so much more. ☺️

[@John_DaMan]

@@mikeandashley Thanks for the reply. And next time if you go to DA LAt, go to Lululola Cafe, the Amazing show cafe, and Tu mo To Restaurant. All nice places in the city

[@mikeandashley]

Thanks for the great recommendations. ☺️ We’ll add them to our list! We hope to be able to return to Vietnam soon, and Da Lat was one of our top places, so we’d be back for sure.

[@John_DaMan]

[@ThucVD]

@@mikeandashleyI found your channel while viewing RUclips videos about Da Lat and told my wife that Ashley reminded me of my former co-worker who left her automotive engineering job in Michigan to move to Wisconsin about 17 years ago. She has similar accent, laugh, and as pretty as Ashley. I visited the Imperial city during the summer of 2002. It was extremely hot and humid, especially at around 1 pm. I was able to see the Thai Hoa Palace. There wasn't much else to see at that time, so I was surprised to see the number of places you were able to see recently. Honestly, I didn't enjoy my time in Hue due to bad experiences, from food to scams and rip offs from taxi drivers and private drivers. The taxi driver dropped me off at a hotel on the wrong side of the river. There wasn't any night life (everything seemed to shut down after 8:30 pm) and there weren't many food places. I haven't been back to Vietnam for 19 years and seem to lose interest in coming back. I used to love the train ride from Saigon to Hue, but I don't think I can handle the train restroom now 🤣 Special thanks to you guys for great videos and for helping me find the urge to visit Vietnam again. Unless you have typhoid and hepatitis vaccines, be careful with ice cubes, fresh vegetable, and snail dishes at restaurants.
