In the past 24 hours, the tourism industry in Hue has seen a strong shift toward sustainability, particularly in personal transportation via electric motorbikes. Here are the 5 most important updates for travelers.
Xanh SM Bike has officially deployed an additional 200 VinFast Feliz S electric bikes in central Hue. With a dense presence at tourist hotspots like the Imperial City, Dong Ba Market, and hotels along Le Loi Street, tourists can easily book a ride via the app starting at just 12,000 VND for the first 2km.
Reports from popular rental hubs on Hung Vuong and Vo Thi Sau streets show that over 40% of traditional gasoline motorbikes have been replaced by electric models like the VinFast Evo200 and Klara S2. International tourists, especially those from Europe and South Korea, prioritize electric rentals for their silence and smart features. Rental prices range from 150,000 VND to 200,000 VND per day.
A major step in Hue's tourism infrastructure is the completion of 10 new charging stations at the parking lots of major royal tombs, including Minh Mang, Khai Dinh, and Tu Duc tombs. This effectively solves range anxiety for long-distance trips to the outskirts. Charging networks now cover 80% of key attractions, allowing a 20% to 80% charge in less than an hour.
Many electric bike rental providers in Hue are launching their biggest promotions of the year. Specifically, for rentals of 3 days or more, tourists receive a 15% discount or a complimentary afternoon tea voucher at famous local cafes. Some units offer a 'Heritage Combo' including EV rental and e-tickets, saving up to 20% compared to individual purchases.
The latest trend among young travelers is the self-guided night food tour using electric motorbikes. Search queries for 'Hue electric bike routes' have increased by 50% in the last 24 hours. The quiet nature of EVs allows tourists to navigate narrow alleys in the Vy Da area or the North Bank without disturbing the peaceful atmosphere of the ancient capital.
