Program details

Guests will depart to Khai Dinh’s Tomb; the spectacular entryway with its dragon pillars is the highlight of the Tomb. The architecture is in a modern style with a blend of European and Eastern design. Inside the main hall are colourful glass mosaic frescoes and a life-size bronze statue of Khai Dinh. Next stop will be Tu Duc’s Tomb; a peaceful resting place enclosed by walls, it features pine woods and a lakeside pavilion with lotus blossoms where the emperor once fished, listened to music and wrote poetry. Then guests will cross by ferry to visit the royal tomb of King Ming Mang, the finest of the imperial tombs. The attraction here is the harmonious garden with its frangipani and lotus blossoms. The ambience here is the one of peace and tranquillity. Then you will board the boat cruise along the Perfume River with lunch on board to Thien Mu Pagoda. Then you will transfer by road to visit the Royal Citadel and the Imperial City, the past glory of Hue, which housed the palaces, pavilions, civil and religious ceremonies and official audiences with the civil mandarins. Then visit the Forbidden Purple City, located within the Imperial City, this was the royal palace used only by the imperial family and the concubines and eunuchs, who served them. This part of the Imperial City suffered the most extensive damage during the Vietnam War and little remains of the original structure - today there are just ruins.
