Arriving at Danang airport, you’ll be met and driven to Hue city. On the way, you'll cross the Hai Van mountain pass.

Start your day with a river cruise by boat upstream to Thien Mu - a tranquil pagoda on the banks of the Perfume River. From there, a vehicle will be waiting to take you to Emperor Minh Mang’s mausoleum. The royal mausoleum of Emperor Ming Mang, a staunch follower of Confucianism with many wives, concubines and children, is opulent and exotic in formal Chinese style - a good example of classic Sino-Vietnamese architecture.
The tomb of Emperor Khai Dinh is an unprepossessing concrete construction on the side of a wide valley. Its interest lies in the uneasy combination of Vietnamese and European features, the use of fragments of ceramics and glass for decoration, and the striking views from the courtyard in front of the mausoleum.
In the afternoon, you visit the Imperial Citadel of Hue, begin with a stroll around the area between the Citadel’s massive walls and the defensive moat, now filled with lotus flowers. You’ll then enter via the Noon Gate to wander around the Thai Hoa Palace, the Pavilion housing the Nine Urns of the Nguyen rulers, and the remains of the Royal Palaces.
