Being an ancient romantic land, by the 13th Hue had already been added to Dai Viet Kingdom (Vietnam nowadays) as a gift from Champa King when he married Princess Huyen Tran of the Tran Dynasty. Hue has been representing the cultural and spiritual centre of Vietnam for a long period of time. This city is famous for its magnificent architecture of citadel, palaces, pagodas and royal tombs built under the 13 emperors of the Nguyen Dynasty in a poetic background of greenery on the banks of the Perfume River. Hue was recognized as the World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO in 1993.
Start at 08 00 am, we visit the Hue Citadel and Imperial City, which will take us about 2 hours and a half. Then we board our dragon boat for a cruise upstream the legendary Perfume River. Along the way, we stop for Thien Mu pagoda, then continue to the rolling hills of the surrounding countryside where we find the Royal Tombs to the Nguyen Emperors. We visit Tu Duc and Khai Dinh tombs. After having viewed the splendid landscaped gardens and ornate architecture of the kings' final resting places we return to Hue.
