Itinerary

• In the morning

  07:30 – 08:30 Our driver and guide pick you up from your hotel in Da Nang and then depart to Hue crossing Hai Van Tunnel, which is the longest and the most modern tunnels in the Southeast Asia.
  09:30 We arrive Hue, you will visit Khai Dinh Tomb – the most beautiful royal tombs of Nguyen’s Dynasty Kings and which was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Although Khai Dinh was not a popular Emperor (he was actually quite disliked by the people for his close relationship with France), his tomb reigns as the most elaborate and decorative. The tomb complex is one of the top Hue, Vietnam tourist attractions.
  Our guide led us through the on-site monuments, which feature a blend of Eastern and Western architectural styles. The complex and tomb took 11 years to complete – and, during that time, the Emperor raised taxes in order to fund the project. The intricate design of colorful mosaic tiles, however, is a truly incredible sight.

  The walled (and moated) citadel, built in the early 1800s, was created as a massive complex that encircled the Emperor’s palace. The grounds featured spacious courtyards and ornate gardens. Twice the Imperial City came under attack – once in 1947 by the Viet Minh and again in 1968 during the Battle of Hue. Much of the Imperial City was destroyed.
