Morning Session
Before Arriving in Hue
Our driver will pick you up at your hotel, apartment, or homestay in Da Nang based on your provided schedule. The ideal departure time for the Hue City Tour from Da Nang is around 8:00 AM. The driver will arrive approximately 15 minutes early to ensure a smooth start.
On the way from Da Nang to Hue, you will pass many famous landmarks. You can stop for sightseeing and photos along the route.
One of the most impressive stops is Hai Van Pass, also known as the “Ocean and Clouds Pass.” This scenic mountain road offers breathtaking panoramic views over Da Nang and the coastline. If you wish, the driver can stop at a café halfway up the pass so you can enjoy a coffee while admiring the view.
After that, we continue to Lang Co Beach, located in Lang Co Bay, recognized as one of the most beautiful bays in the world. This is a perfect photo stop.
Next, we visit Lap An Lagoon, a stunning lagoon that has recently become a popular photography destination. You may also enjoy fresh seafood here before continuing to Hue.
Arrival in Hue
Thien Mu Pagoda
Upon arrival in Hue, you will meet your professional tour guide. You will take a dragon boat ride along the Perfume River to Thien Mu Pagoda.
Here, you will learn more about Buddhism and listen to fascinating historical stories, including the story of Thich Quang Duc, who self-immolated in protest against the Ngo Dinh Diem regime. There is also a legendary “love curse” story associated with the pagoda that your guide will explain in detail.
Imperial City of Hue
Next, we visit the Hue Imperial Citadel, the most iconic landmark of Hue. Hue was the capital of Vietnam during the Nguyen Dynasty from 1802 to 1945, under 13 emperors.
This complex was the political and royal residence of the emperors and the royal family. Highlights include:
With your knowledgeable guide, you will gain deeper insight into royal life during the Nguyen Dynasty.
Lunch Break – Enjoy Hue Cuisine
After exploring the Imperial City, we will head to a local restaurant in Hue to enjoy authentic Hue specialties. After lunch, you will feel re-energized and ready for the afternoon session.
Afternoon Session
Before visiting the royal tombs, your guide will share an interesting belief of the Nguyen emperors: life is temporary, and the afterlife is a continuation of earthly life. Therefore, many emperors carefully selected feng shui locations for their tombs, sometimes taking up to 11 years to complete construction.
Minh Mang Tomb
We first visit Minh Mang Tomb, located about 12 km from Hue city center. Built between 1840 and 1843, the tomb is known for its harmonious integration of architecture and natural landscape.
The complex reflects Confucian philosophy and royal ideology, showcasing solemnity, balance, and traditional Vietnamese architectural artistry.
Khai Dinh Tomb
Last but not least, we visit Khai Dinh Tomb, the final royal tomb of the Nguyen Dynasty. Located on Chau Chu Mountain, it was built between 1920 and 1931.
The tomb uniquely combines traditional Vietnamese design with Western architectural influences. Inside the main hall, you will be amazed by the famous “Nine Dragons in the Clouds” ceiling painting, created by artisan Phan Van Tanh using only his feet — a truly one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
