Read moreAfter a delightful breakfast at our hotel, we kickstart our exploration of Hue’s renowned attractions. Our day begins with an enchanting boat trip along the Perfume River, leading us to the picturesque Thien Mu, also known as the Heavenly Lady Pagoda. A notable exhibit here is the car that belonged to a former monk, who valiantly sacrificed himself in 1963 to protest against the oppressive South Vietnamese regime’s treatment of Buddhists.
there, we disembark and venture towards the elaborate tomb of the esteemed former emperor, Tu Duc. Built between 1864 and 1867 with the dedicated efforts of 3000 soldiers and workers, this marvel boasts fifty monuments enveloped by a grand 1500-meter wall. The historical richness and architectural splendor are truly awe-inspiring.
We then return to Hue for a much-deserved lunch, satisfying our appetites and recharging for the rest of our adventure.
In the afternoon, we immerse ourselves in the grandeur of Hue Imperial City, the final royal city of Vietnam. Beholding magnificent structures such as the Flag Tower, Ngo Mon Gate, and Nine Dynastic Urns, we delve the captivating history of the city. This 19th-century citadel once served as the residence for Vietnam’s emperors, reigning 1802 to 1945. Our visit to Dong Ba Market completes the day’s activities, offering a delightful shopping experience and a chance to indulge in the city’s culinary specialties.
As the late afternoon approaches, we embark on an enchanting excursion to Chuon Lagoon, the starting point of the famous Tam Giang – Cau Hai lagoon system. Our journey commences with a mesmerizing bicycle tour along the poetic Nhu Y River, leading us to the picturesque Chuon lagoon. Along the way, we encounter charming and intricately designed old pavilions, representing the architectural beauty of family temples adorned with dragon carvings. As we follow winding paths through golden paddy fields, we arrive at Chuon lagoon. Here, we board traditional sampans, which allow us to immerse ourselves in the captivating landscape and witness the daily life of local fishermen. A visit to a stilted local house and a scrumptious feast of grilled seafood accompanied by local beer completes the immersiveness of our experience.
With the setting sun as our backdrop, we return to our hotel, cherishing the memories we have made throughout the day.
