On your arrival at the  Phu Bai Airport, you will be welcomed by our guide and driver who will bring you to Hue City. Hue served as an imperial capital to the Nguyen Lords, a feudal dynasty which reigned from the 17th to the 19th century. With splendid emperors’ tombs, ancient pagodas and the remains of the Citadel, the city retains its royal charm. Start from your hotel with a 10 minute cyclo ride from your hotel to the Imperial Citadel, a UNESCO listed site. Enter through the towering main gate and you will appreciate the magnificent architecture and gardens while your guide explains about the events and the intrigue of the former royal court. Despite being bombed heavily, there are some incredibly well preserved sections still intact and others which are being lovingly restored. After the Citadel, we go to the Truong Tien Bridge and traditional Dong Ba Market which is rarely seen anywhere in the world. The Dong Ba Market is a typical market of centuries ago where vendors sprawl their goods out for you, where you can walk and select the items you want

Each house is connected closely to the history of one of the traditional Hue families, and contains antiques and heirlooms made of ceramic dating back many centuries. Wander through the village and visit a typical Hue-style traditional wooden house nestled in a spacious garden influenced by the Feng-shui concept.

Standing on the riverbank with its seven-storey tower, the pagoda is a sight to behold. Continue by boat to visit the Royal Tomb of Minh Mang. He was the second Nguyen Emperor, very powerful and distrustful of Western religions. As previously noted his interest in architecture brought major new construction to the Imperial City as well as this large garden with its lakes and pavilions, all in Chinese tradition.
