Thua Thien Hue Province is submitted to a tropical monsoon climate divided into four distinct seasons: fresh spring, very hot summer, mild autumn and windy, cold winter. The average annual temperature is 25°C (77"F). The most convenient time to visit the area is from November to April. The rainy season lasts from September to November.
Owing to its rich historical past, this region is utterly attractive and has a lot to offers: the magnificent Hue Citadel and hundreds of pagodas, sumptuous beaches as well as a dazzling traditional culture and culinary art (many dishes and tasty cakes are exclusive to this area). The numerous celebrations and festivals held in the region offer a unique and harmonious mingling of folk culture together with an imperial heritage. For example, the music and lyrics of the sampan rowers and some popular melodies were slightly adapted to meet the tastes of kings and princes and to fit into imperial settings. The songs were later popularized throughout the whole country as Hue songs.

The first inhabitants of this region were the ancestors of the Cham people. Many majestic palaces, temples and military relics from the 1st to the 13* centuries still remain in the ancient capital of Tra Kieu, My Son...
