Details of experience:
1. Pick up and Perfume River Cruise
Our representative will pick you up at the hotel in Hue City Center and drive you to the boat dock, where you will start the half-day tour on the green-trees-river-bank river.
Take a seat to start a leisure boat journey along the Perfume River. Enjoy the serene views of Hue's lush landscapes and riverside life.
2. Visit Thien Mu Pagoda for 30 minutes
The first stop is the famous Hue Pagoda, Thien Mu Pagoda, on a hill facing the Perfume River.
Take steps up to the tall Phuoc Duyen Tower for the first photos, and then explore other temples, relics, and gadgets here.
3. Explore Hon Chen Temple for 20 minutes
Return to the boat from Thien Mu Temple to spend around 30 minutes more at Hon Chen Temple.
On the way, the continuous green colors of Hue City on both sides of the river make your eyes cannot neglect.
The spot of Hon Chen-Jade Cup Temple is small but significant for a local belief, which differs from the Buddhist culture you have just visited in Thien Mu.
4. Walk at Thuy Bieu Village for 20 to 30 minutes
Turn your dragon boat to head to the Thuy Bieu Village on the Southern side of the river.
Take a short walk to explore the tranquil space along the narrow village roads and look at the green gardens. It's a chance to get peace of mind and influence this village.
5. Finish at the boat station
The boat continues running back to the boat station in Hue City, where you can enjoy the lovely air.
We finish the trip at the boat dock, where you can walk around the city or continue your own activity.
