Hue Shopping Guide

Hue shopping is characterised by the Vietnamese local market tradition with more offerings of craftsmanship and culture than is usually found elsewhere. The range of merchandise available in Hue is typical of other places in Vietnam, but highly regarded cultural souvenirs are more prominent here. Hue conical hats (Non) are famous throughout Vietnam.
