Details Of Hue City Group Tour
Starting At Your Hotel
In the morning, our driver and tour guide will arrive at your hotel in Hue city center. After a few minutes of getting to know each other, they will kindly escort you outside to the car and begin one of your best days in Hue.
Taking A Dragon Boat To Thien Mu Pagoda
As the first highlight of the Hue Deluxe Tour, you will take a Hue Dragon Boat ride on the Perfume River. In the fresh air, visitors will feel like ancient kings, enjoying the poetic Perfume River. Our tour guide will share little-known stories about this river and explain “Why is it called Perfume River?“
Your boat trip will stop at Thien Mu Pagoda, the oldest pagoda in Hue. Despite the ravages of time, Thien Mu Pagoda has retained its sacred and peaceful appearance, with expansive views overlooking the Perfume River. Today, Thien Mu Pagoda has become an unmissable spiritual destination when visiting Hue.
Besides admiring the lush scenery and majestic architecture, our tour guide will tell you stories associated with this pagoda, even the Thien Mu Pagoda Love Curse.
Wandering In The Hue Imperial City
Continuing the trip, you will arrive at Hue Imperial Citadel, a monument of royal architecture, preserving all the developments of the Nguyen Dynasty. As a UNESCO Heritage, this is a massive complex, including palaces, pavilions, and temples, surrounded by lush greenery and a system of lakes within the citadel.
Some highlights you can’t miss when visiting here include the Thai Hoa Palace, Kien Trung Palace, Ngo Mon Gate, Duyet Thi Duong Theatre, Nine Royal Cannon, and Hue Flag Tower. These are iconic architectural landmarks and artifacts that have stood the test of time alongside the Hue Imperial Citadel.
Joining The Bustling Of Dong Ba Market
After the two previous peaceful locations, visiting Dong Ba Market will reveal another unique aspect of Hue. It’s the vibrant atmosphere of trading activities or the bustling crowds in the city’s largest market.
Our tour guide will accompany you as you explore the unique and diverse stalls here. Highlights include stalls selling various types of Hue fermented sauce and traditional items such as ao dai and palm-leaf conical hats. You can also purchase conical hats or other souvenirs to capture beautiful moments here.
Leaving Dong Ba Market, our driver will take you to a local restaurant (highly recommended by us) to enjoy Hue’s specialties. Then, you will have a short break to refresh for the rest of the trip.
Visiting The Solemn Minh Mang Tomb
Join the afternoon session of the Hue City Deluxe Group Tour, and you’ll visit Minh Mang Royal Mausoleum, the tomb of the second emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty, peacefully nestled by the poetic Perfume River.
It is elaborately constructed, impressive for its intricate carvings, majestic dragon-and-phoenix-themed roof tiles, and the system of shrines and courtyard. The space here bears a tranquil and solemn beauty, surrounded by lush greenery and calm lakes.
Along with fascinating stories about King Minh Mang, our guide will tell you, and all of this will provide a unique and memorable experience.
Exploring The Unique Khai Dinh King Tomb
Khai Dinh Tomb is perhaps the most famous royal tomb in the Nguyen Dynasty’s mausoleum system. Upon entering, visitors are immediately greeted by familiar sights in the courtyard: intricately carved stone statues of the king’s courtiers. You can freely take photos here to enrich your Hue’s album.
Stepping inside the main temple, you will be amazed by a solemn and magnificent space. The throne of Emperor Khai Dinh is exquisitely decorated, with gilded details, and countless images of dragons appear densely, symbolizing the emperor’s power.
