From Ninh Binh we wanted to take a night bus to Hoi An, but we decided to stop first in Hue (we were going to arrive to Hue around 8am, so we could visit Hue during the day and arrive to Hoi An in the night). And we did like that!
The night buses in Vietnam are a bit strange. There are not the usual sits... but they have bunkbeds! Amazing! I could sleep all night long!
But actually, we only visited the Imperial City, an área with palaces and gardens with vietnamese architecture.
In 1802, after quelling the Tay Son rebellion, Lord Nguyen Phuc Anh proclaimed himself Emperor Gia Long and founded the Nguyen Dynasty. He ordered the new royal citadel to be built along the Perfumer River, which became Vietnam's new capital city. Just 33 years into the dynasty's reign, the Frenck invaded Hue. They retained the Nguyen Dynasty with nominal governance over central Vietnam and northern Vietnam. Thanks to French manipulation of the dynsty, a quick sucession of emperors graced the throne ending with Bao Dai's abdication in 1945.
In the afteroon, we took a bus to Hoi An. I don't remember weel how long it takes, but not more tan 2 hours from sure!
When you arrive to Hoi An's buses terminal, there are a lot of people offering their hostels. We just ask a girl how much we had to pay for one night and we decided to go with her. Almost all the hostels costs the same, but you also can negotiate with them.
