A DAY IN IMPERIAL CITY OF HUE

price from $52.00 /person

Overview

Enjoy a scenic boat trip on the Perfume River to Thien Mu Pagoda, one of the oldest ancient architectural structures for religious worship in Hue.

Visit the Hue Citadel. The Hue Citadel is situated on the Northern bank of the Perfume River and built by Emperor Gia Long it was designed for the exclusive use of the Emperor and his household. The Citadel is a square 2 km wall encompassing 3 walled enclosures; the Citadel, Kinh Thanh Hue, the Yellow Imperial city, Hoang Thanh and in the centre the Forbidden Purple city Tu Cam Thanh where the Emperor lived. The Hue royal complex has been officially recognized by the UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

Continue by cyclo to discover the tranquil gardens and traditional buildings of the region, before arriving at the lotus-filled Tinh Tam Lake. Meaning ‘Peace of Mind’, this former emperors’ relaxation spot is still a popular place for Hue residents to wind down at the end of the day.

After lunch, tour with a visit to Tu Duc Royal Tomb, considered to be one of the three most beautiful mausoleums around Hue. Construction of the tomb was meticulous carried out starting whilst the king was still alive in order to ensure his comfort in the next life. Most of the tombs have courtyards, a temple for worship, statues of elephants and figures and a pond, but the layout of each is different reflecting differing each king’s personality and style. Round up the day with a visit to Dong Ba Market in Old Hue is near the place where the Dong Ba Canal joins the Perfume River. This market is strongly recommended to anyone with an interest in Vietnamese food or culture. The maintenance of ancient characteristics makes an unforgettable impression to visitors.
