From Da Nang: Hue Imperial City & Hai Van Pass Discovery Tour

Admire stunning views
and explore a historic war bunker

Depart from Da Nang along the northern coast and arrive at the Hai Van Pass, one of Vietnam's most beautiful coastal roads. Stop at the summit to explore the remains of a war-era bunker and enjoy panoramic views of the sea and mountains. 

Upon arrival in Hue, visit the Citadel, the city's most central historical site. This complex of palaces, including the Forbidden City, the Emperor's residence, gardens, pavilions, and palace gates, was built between 1804 and 1833 during the Nguyen Dynasty and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

After lunch, take a leisurely boat trip on the Perfume River, which flows through Hue, and arrive at the beautiful riverside Thien Mu Pagoda. This historic Buddhist temple, founded in 1601, is historically significant as it displays the car of a monk who self-immolated in 1963 to protest the South Vietnamese government's persecution of Buddhists. 

The final stop is the Khai Dinh Royal Tomb, built in harmony with nature. Designed according to Feng Shui principles, this royal tomb boasts a unique aesthetic that blends traditional Vietnamese style with Western architecture. Complete your Hue journey in a serene and tranquil atmosphere, surrounded by intricately decorated interiors.
