On arrival Phu Bai Airport, you are met and transferred to hotel. Hue was once Vietnam’s feudal capital from 1802 to 1945. This small and quiet city is widely known for magnificent architecture, pagodas and royal tombs laid in many small villages and surrounding hills.
We spend this afternoon to visit Hue with the massive citadel, containing the Imperial City and the Purple Forbidden City. This royal residence was all destroyed during the 1968 Tet Offensive, however it is still fascinating to walk among the ruins. Overnight in Hue.
This morning in Hue, you will have a change to explore the beautiful riverside pagoda of Thien Mu, which now becomes the symbol of Hue, and the elaborate royal tomb of Emperor Minh Mang are not to be missed.
We include 1 hour cruise on the Perfume River which also gives us a taste of the scenic countryside to visit the beautiful riverside pagoda of Thien Mu, which now becomes the symbol of Hue. Visit the the elaborate royal tomb of Emperor Minh Mang, in a tranquil setting of gardens and lakes. Have a lunch at local garden restaurant.
Heading out of the town, we drive south to Hoian which was originally a Cham seaport but has been influenced down the centuries by a myriad of traders from various cultures.
Along the way we can break the journey in Lang Co Beach for a leisurely swim and an enjoyable visit to a nearby fishing village. The winding road begins as we make our way up the spectacular Hai Van pass. A view from the top of the pass is one of Vietnam’s most impressive panoramic scenes
