Fruits You Shouldn’t Miss If You Visit Huế City

You haven’t really known Huế if you come and leave this garden city without trying some of its locally-grown fruits. Fruits are certainly at their best if you taste them seasonally. That said, don’t try to find bưởi and thanh trà (kinds of pomelo) if you happen to be in Huế in the wintertime. Just eat the fruits that you find abundant in the markets as abundance indicates that those fruits are in season. However, this is not true for some certain fruits such bịp bịp or hồng nhung which are rare to find even when they are in their season. Below are pictures and Vietnamese names of some local fruits for your reference.
