Bridging the strictness of the artistically structured Citadel and the grandeur of the richly endowed countryside, the ancient villages surrounding Hue city are a symbol of transition and harmony. Thuy Bieu is an ancient village long known for its cultural heritage and rustic greenery. Beside the multiple well-preserved communal houses and clans’ ancestral houses, the nostalgic beauty of the once premises of high-ranking mandarins, royal descendants or aristocrats holds a great attraction to visitors.
Their aesthetic wooden architectures and Fengshui-based immense gardens suggest a mingling of the delicate art of living and the deep rooted local traditions. In a close proximity, you will explore some original heritage closely attached to the rise and fall of the Nguyen dynasties: the Roman Colosseum styled Tiger Arena hosting duels between tigers and elephants, the unique temple-cemetery dedicated to the Kings’ loyal elephants, and the long-established bronze casting village.
Thuy Bieu may be the loveliest village you will see in Vietnam. It is rustic setting with lush greens, laid back lifestyle and amazing food will capture your heart.
