Natural Hot Springs
Hue is one of Vietnam's most poetic and historically rich destinations, boasting numerous palaces, tombs, and pagodas. However, many travelers share that beyond exploring these historical sites, indulging in a hot spring bath (onsen) in Hue is an experience not to be missed.
Onsen – the traditional Japanese hot spring bathing style – is a natural health care therapy. According to Japanese belief, the moment your entire body sinks into the warm mineral water amidst a tranquil setting helps you suddenly grasp the meaning of existence. An onsen bath allows your whole body to relax, reminding you that health is humanity's most precious asset.
If you enjoy soaking in natural mineral waters, you can choose between My An or Thanh Tan hot springs.
