We begin our journey with a visit to the magnificent Hue Citadel and Imperial City, where we step back in time to experience the royal life of kings, queens, and concubines during the Nguyen Dynasty.

After exploring this historic complex, we board a private boat and enjoy a scenic cruise along the Perfume River to Thien Mu Pagoda—Hue’s most iconic spiritual landmark and a symbol of pilgrimage.

From here, we switch to bicycles and ride across the river via the new bridge, pedaling through gentle rolling hills and the tranquil countryside. Our route takes us to the historic Tiger Arena, before continuing along the riverbanks toward Thuy Bieu Village, where ancient architecture blends with lush gardens of the region’s famous pomelos.

The journey continues through charming old villages and rustic rural landscapes as we make our way to the Royal Tombs of the Nguyen Emperors. Lunch will be enjoyed en route, with plenty of stops along the way to take in the scenery and local life.

The day concludes with a visit to the ornate Khai Dinh Tomb, after which we return to Hue City.
