What to expect
Hai Van Pass
At 7 am, Our driver will pick you up at your hotel in Da Nang city. We start the Hue City Tour from Da Nang. On the way to Hue, our driver will stop by at Hai Van pass (Ocean and Clouds Pass). Hai Van pass is famous as the most beautiful pass, the Topgear in Vietnam. On top of the pass, you will see there is a brick gate. It was the border gate between 2 countries. Dai Nam in the North of the pass and Champa Kingdom in the South.
The next place is the Lang Co beach. Lang Co beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Our driver will stop at the pass's foot so you can have a panoramic view to take wonderful photos of the Lang Co Bay.
Lap An Lagoon

Around 10:30 am, we reach to Hue imperial city. We will pick up our tour guide to do the Hue City tour from Da Nang. We will take a dragon boat to go along the Perfume River to visit Thien Mu pagoda. As you know, Thien Mu is the oldest pagoda in central Vietnam from 1601. There are many stories and myths about this holy place and our guide will tell you in detail.
After that, we will take the private car to visit the Citadel, Royal city, and Forbidden city. Hue was the capital city of the Nguyen Dynasty of Vietnam from 1802- 1945.

It is a complex including 3 sections: The citadel (Protecting area); Royal city (The working area of Emperor, and civil servants and Military servants); The Forbidden City (The private area of the emperor, his concubines, and eunuchs). Hue was the politic center of the Nguyen dynasty Vietnam so foods in Hue are the best in Vietnam. So will we have a lovely lunch at a local food restaurant around 12:30 pm.
After lunch, we keep doing the Hue City Tour from Da Nang. As you know, all the emperors of the Nguyen dynasty thought that this life is just a temporary life. When you died, you would live a real life. So what you need in this life, you would need them in the after-life. So the first thing they did when they first came to the throne is to order the Fengshui tellers to find the perfect Fengshui places to build the tombs. Please remember it, everything inside the tombs has never been used in the past, only for their after-life. The first place is the Royal tomb of the Minh Mang emperor, the second emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty. So His royal tomb is on the mountains and face to the head of the Perfume River. Our tour guide will tell you the fabulous emperor's biography and a scary secret inside his beautiful royal tomb.
After that, we will visit the most beautiful and expensive royal tomb of the 12th emperor, the Khai Dinh Tomb. Not following the traditional architecture, Khai Dinh Tomb is the mixture among Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, French, and Vietnamese architecture. You will say twice WOW, WOW because it is such a fabulous tomb and the most beautiful tomb in over the world. All of the materials to build his tomb from other countries such as Ciments from France; Color glasses, porcelain, ceramics from China and Japan. It is the top of the art of inlaid for decoration.
