One of Hue’s iconic landmarks, and one that cannot be overlooked, is the Hue Imperial Citadel. It is divided into three parts: the Hue Citadel, the Royal City, and the Forbidden City. Visitors wishing to explore the inner areas must purchase an entrance ticket costing 200,000 VND per adult and 40,000 VND per child aged 7 to 12 years.
In the past, Hue Imperial City was the residence and workplace of kings, queens, royal family members, and high-ranking officials. Now, visitors can also go inside and explore the artifacts and structures from hundreds of years ago.
There are many unique structures and artifacts, such as the Nine Holy Cannons, Ngo Mon Gate, Thai Hoa Palace, Duyet Thi Duong Theater, Hien Lam Cat Palace, Nguyen Dynasty Royal Temple, Royal Garden, Truong Sanh Residence, and many more. Visitors should allocate about 2 hours to explore the entire Hue Imperial Citadel.
After visiting the Hue Imperial Citadel, you might feel hungry. Therefore, we’ll head to a restaurant for lunch. The driver will suggest a few popular local restaurants for you to consider. You can try dishes such as Hue Beef Noodle Soup, Steamed Rice Cakes, Hue Pancakes, Grilled Lemongrass Skewers, and more.
Tu Duc Tomb
After a delicious lunch, we will move on to the next stop on our Chan May Port to Hue private car tour. That stop is Tu Duc Tomb, the mausoleum of the 4th emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty.
The Tomb of Emperor Tu Duc, also known as Khiem Lang, is one of the most beautiful royal tombs of the Nguyen Dynasty in Hue. Built between 1864 and 1867, the tomb is situated amidst a picturesque setting with a lake, pine forest, and exquisite architectural structures. It is not only the final resting place of Emperor Tự Đức but also a place where he could rest, write poetry, and enjoy the beautiful scenery during his lifetime.
The architecture of Tu Duc Mausoleum is distinctly ancient, harmoniously blending nature and human design. Structures such as Khiem Cung, Khiem Hoang, and Luu Khiem Lake create a complex that is both majestic and romantic. Visitors here not only appreciate the architectural beauty but also perceive the artistic soul of the famous king who loved poetry, literature, and art.
Khai Dinh Tomb
If Tu Duc Tomb is considered a hallmark of Nguyen Dynasty architectural style, then Khai Dinh Tomb represents a fresh blend of various styles from around the world. This tomb will be the final stop on the Chan May Port to Hue private car itinerary.
Khai Dinh Tomb, also known as Ung Lang, was built by the 12th emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty. Emperor Khai Dinh commissioned its construction over 11 years, from 1920 to 1931, on Chau Chu Mountain. The uniqueness of this tomb lies in its combination of various distinctive architectural styles.
Besides the traditional features of Hue, this tomb also blends Western styles, including French, Roman, and even Indian. Although there are many styles, they are harmoniously combined, creating a unique style unlike anywhere else.
The highlight of the tomb is the Khai Thanh Palace, dedicated to King Khai Dinh, and notable for its ceramic and colored-glass mosaics. Inside, visitors can see a gilded bronze statue of King Khai Dinh seated on a throne. His tomb is located directly below. Furthermore, the mausoleum is famous for its Nine Dragons Hidden in the Clouds painting on the ceiling.
In addition, Hue has many other famous attractions such as Thien Mu Pagoda, Hon Chen Temple, and Minh Mang Tomb. So, if time permits, visitors can visit a few more places. Once the sightseeing tour is over, the driver will quickly take visitors back to Chan May Port so they can return to the cruise ship.
