We pick you up at Phu Bai Airport or at your hotel in Hue. Then take a boat trip on the Perfume River to Thien Mu Pagoda, founded in 1601 by Lord Nguyen Hoang, governor of Thuan Hoa Province. According to legend, a fairy woman appeared to Lord Nguyen Hoang and told him to build the pagoda. The seven-story tower, built by Emperor Thieu Tri, has become the unofficial symbol of Hue. Drive to the Hue Citadel, whose construction began in 1804 under Emperor Gia Long. Continue to the Imperial Enclosure, where the emperor's official functions were carried out. Within the Imperial City is the Forbidden Purple City, reserved for the private life of the emperor and his large family.
Continue to Dong Ba Market for shopping, then stop at a local restaurant for lunch. In the afternoon, visit Tu Duc's tomb, built between 1864 and 1867. Of all the Nguyen kings, Tu Duc reigned the longest (36 years). His tomb is the work of a poet: its graceful architecture is in harmony with nature, and nature itself plays a part in the architecture. Tu Duc's tomb is a fine expression of this Vietnamese architectural philosophy.
Then transfer to Hoi An (no guide). On the way, you will stop at Lang Co Beach and drive over the Hai Van Pass for a picturesque view of the mountains and the sea. Continue to your hotel in Hoi An. Overnight in Hoi An.
