Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival - Hue ( D )
On arrival Phu Bai Airport, you
are met and transferred to
hotel. Hue was once Vietnam’s
feudal capital from 1802 to
1945. This small and quiet city
is widely known for magnificent
architecture, pagodas and royal
tombs laid in many small
villages and surrounding hills.
We
spend this afternoon to visit
Hue with the massive citadel,
containing the Imperial City and
the Purple Forbidden City. This
royal residence was all
destroyed during the 1968 Tet
Offensive, however it is still
fascinating to walk among the
ruins. Overnight in Hue.
Day 2: Hue ( B, L, D )
The beautiful riverside pagoda
of Thien Mu, which now becomes
the symbol of Hue, and the
elaborate royal tomb of Emperor
Tu Duc are not to be missed.
We include these in a guided
cruise on the Perfume River
which also gives us a taste of
the scenic countryside as well
as an enjoyable visit to the
mausoleum of Emperor Minh Mang,
in a tranquil setting of gardens
and lakes.
After an impressive boat trip we
return to the town and enjoy a
walk to the bustling Dong Ba
Market that sells a wide variety
of local goods and handicrafts.
Along the way we pass by many
fantastic eating spots, ideal
places for visitors to sample
some local delicacies. Overnight
in Hue.
Day 3: Hue - Danang - Hoian (B,
L,D ) 
Heading out of the town, we
drive south to Hoian which was
originally a Cham seaport but
has been influenced down the
centuries by a myriad of traders
from various cultures.
Along the way we can break the
journey in Lang Co Beach for a
leisurely swim and an enjoyable
visit to a nearby fishing
village. The winding road begins
as we make our way up the
spectacular Hai Van pass. A view
from the top of the pass is one
of Vietnam’s most impressive
panoramic scenes.
The next stop of our trip is Da
Nang which is famous for the
Cham Museum. After seeing this
sight we continue to the China
Beach and the Marble Mountain,
whose peaks represent the five
elements of the universe.
Overnight in Hoi An.
Day 4: Hoian - Departure ( B , L
)
The ancient architecture of
Hoian is a fascinating
combination of Vietnamese
traditional characters with
Chinese and Japanese influence.
There are plenty to see in this
delightful and tranquil town,
some of which are the famous
Japanese Covered Bridges, the
Pottery Museum, the 200 years
old Tam Ky House, the Chua Ong
Pagoda, the vibrant market. We
visit these on our morning
walking tour past many low tiled
houses scattered along the small
streets and assembly halls which
reflect the town's
multi-cultural past.
The trip ends after your
transfer to Da Nang Airport for
departure.
