 Thuan An Ward, formed from the merger of Thuan An Ward and the two former communes of Phu Hai and Phu Thuan, is a land where the sea meets the lagoon. This unique setting has given rise to a number of bustling fish markets that remain integral to local life.

For travelers, visiting these markets will be an interesting experience during their trip to Hue. Here, the air carries not only the familiar scent of shrimp, fish, crabs, and other freshly landed seafood, but also the salty trace of sweat shed by fishermen after long hours at sea. Together, they form the unmistakable flavor of this coastal homeland, a place where the rhythms of daily life unfold in simple, peaceful beauty.

The sea beckons

Compared to many other coastal localities, Hue’s sea possesses a distinctly unique beauty, gentle and captivating in its simplicity and softness. In recent years, that beauty has become even more alluring thanks to the new coastal road and the recently completed bridge spanning the Thuan An estuary. From there, visitors coming to Hue can begin their journey from the clear blue waters of Lang Co Bay, travel along breezy coastal roads through Vinh Thanh, Thuan An, and Hai Duong, before continuing toward the peaceful seaside area of Quang Dien.

Hue - The gentle season

It is the season of late spring transitioning into early summer, when cicadas begin their rhythmic chorus amidst the leafy canopies. During this season, from late March to early April, Hue still carries a slight chill in late night and early morning, offering many cool parts throughout the day. This is an ideal condition for visitors from near and far to experience the natural scenery, historical relics, scenic spots, and the daily life of this ancient capital.
