Here’s an overview of your tour
Your journey begins with a pickup from your Da Nang hotel by guide and car, heading towards the charming city of Hue. As you pass through the Hai Van Tunnel, we make a scenic stop at Lap An Lagoon, offering breathtaking views and a visit to a pearl farm.
Our first destination is the historic Hue Imperial City, the former capital during the Nguyen Dynasty (1802-1945). Walking through the Nine Canons, passing Ngo Mon Gate, you'll encounter the Thai Hoa Palace – a pivotal structure in our nation's history. Explore the Forbidden City, gaining insight into the royal family's life, and marvel at the Royal Garden, King's Library, and Theater. Delve into the rich history of each king's life at the Ancestor Temple.
Next, we visit Thien Mu Pagoda, an iconic symbol of Hue city, standing gracefully on a hillside overlooking the Perfume River for over 400 years.
The journey continues to Tu Duc Tomb, the final resting place of the 4th King in the Nguyen Dynasty. Immerse yourself in the poetic beauty of Tu Duc's tomb while learning about his life and legacy.
To add a sensory experience, we visit the incense village, where you can observe and participate in the art of crafting incense. Capture vibrant photos with the colorful incenses before concluding your day and returning to Da Nang.
