Our biking guide and driver will pick you up at your hotel in Hue, then briefly transfer to the cycling point, near the Railway station of Hue, we will enjoy this charming city's peaceful, leafy backstreets, cycling out to explore the countryside around Hue. We first visit the Ho Quyen arena, where the emperor presided over duels between tigers and elephants. Continuing to the 19th-century Nguyen Tomb of Tu Duc, we will enjoy the beautiful complex of ornate temples, pavilions, and tombs built beside a picturesque lake. After visiting the incense-making village, we gear up for a gentle ascent of Vong Canh Hill, the old military bunker, which rewards us with spectacular views. It is a great place to look over the Perfume River and the surrounding countryside from the pine forest atop the hill. We then take a boat ride on the Perfume River, visiting the iconic Thien Mu Pagoda, home to the oldest monastery in the city, whose 21m high tower has become something of a symbol for Hue.
