Hue “Perfume River Cruise” Half day

At 8.30am or 2.00pm you will have a short drive from your hotel to the wharf.

Board on a boat and cruise along Perfume River to Thien Mu Pagoda. This 7-storey octagonal tower on the bank of the Perfume River is a symbol of Hue. Behind the pagoda are peaceful gardens and, somewhat incongruously, the old Austin car which transported the bonze Thich Quang Duc to Saigon in 1963 for his self-immolation. A photograph of this act was highly publicized and credited for drawing public attention to the situation in Vietnam.

Continue tour by boat to the Minh Mang Tomb built between 1941 and 1943. The Minh Mang Tomb is renowned for its period architectural design, which fits harmoniously into the surrounding landscape. You will enter the compound through the outer wall featuring a triple gate, cross the Salutation Court flanked with statues of attendants, and then pass by lakes, pavilions and gardens before reaching the burial mound itself. 

To finish a half day trip, we would like to offer you a special healthy vegetarian meal. Hue is very well-known for its cuisine. It is very sure that you will be impressed by the chef with how he prepares the dishes look like “normal food” but all of ingredients are from vegetable.

Trip ends at your hotel at 1.00PM or 7.00pm.
