A dragon boat trip along the legendary Perfume river is the best way to start the Hue city tour. Taking about Hue is taking about the land where Nguyen Kings chose to built their palace . The dragon has long been a symbol for the power of the Kings and dragon boat was the privilege for only him. Nowadays, dragon boat is the symbol for Hue tourism. You can immerse yourselves in the cool air and the tranquility of the calmest river in Viet Nam and visit the oldest pagoda here ,Thien Mu pagoda. Built in 1601 by lord Nguyen Hoang, the ancestor of Nguyen King after he heard about the legend of an old lady from heaven coming from sky, telling local people about the appearance of the King at this holly land. The pagoda today is always one of the first spots that tourists want to visit in Hue city.
After walking into the pagoda and listening the stories about it, our group will head to the royal palace , the most important historical monument in Hue, by mini bus. Although it was destroyed a lot by the war in 1968, the palace still reflects the luxury life of the Kings and the sophisticated art in building and decorating. Wondering in the forbidden purple city and stopping on the places which was only for the privileged people is an amazing feeling. It is a big area but there are many places for tourists to stop to take a rest and enjoy the beauty of old royal architecture, listen to the information from our guide . The royal museum next to the palace is where you can see and learn about old objects of Nguyen kings preserved in good condition. It is one of the must-stop in our initerary for Hue city tour. The museum today is consider to be one of the most beautiful ancient house of the country. A stop at Đông Ba market is the chance for you to know about colorful local life, see the local product and try doing some shopping with friendly local people here.

Most of the tourists skip royals tombs in Hue city tour because they think that only the royal palace is enough. Those ones felt regretted after seeing the photos from their friends about the tombs, which are the burial areas as well as the private house of the kings, where they can freely show their personalities and lifestyles through the design and architecture. Minh Mang tomb with traditional style is the place for the most traditional and formal king to rest in peace and Khai Dinh tomb with the clever combination of eastern and western architecture is the masterpiece of Khai Dinh King, the King who was deeply influenced by European culture. Because of their special architecture, those two royal tombs are chosen as a special part of our Hue city tour.
The last stop is Thuy Xuan incense and conical hat village, a small and beautiful village where people here live on making incense and conical hat.
