Da Nang – Hue – Da Nang

At 8 – 8:30 AM: Start your journey between 8:00 – 8:30 AM, as our professional guide and driver pick you up from your hotel in Da Nang to begin your scenic and cultural exploration of central Vietnam. The first stop is the iconic Marble Mountains, a cluster of five marble and limestone hills named after the five elements: Metal, Wood, Earth, Water, and Fire. You’ll explore Water Mountain, the largest and most accessible of the group, known for its caves, pagodas, and panoramic views.

Next, enjoy a breathtaking ride along the Hai Van Pass, famously called the “Ocean Clouds Pass” for its dramatic curves and coastal scenery. From this winding mountain road, you’ll admire views of Lang Co Beach, a pristine stretch of white sand and crystal-clear water nestled between the sea and the mountains.

Around 12:00 PM, you will arrive in Hue, the former imperial capital of Vietnam, and enjoy a delicious local lunch.

After lunch, your cultural adventure continues with a visit to the Imperial Citadel, once the residence of Vietnam’s last royal family—the Nguyen Dynasty. Walk through grand gates, royal halls, and centuries of imperial history within these ancient walls.

Next, head to Thien Mu Pagoda, also known as the “Heaven Fairy Lady Pagoda.” Located peacefully on the northern bank of the Perfume River, this sacred pagoda is surrounded by lush gardens and vibrant flowers. In the late afternoon, the gentle ringing of its bell echoes across the river, creating a serene and spiritual atmosphere.

End the day with a relaxing Dragon Boat cruise on the Perfume River, allowing you to soak in the tranquil scenery as the sun sets. After the cruise, our driver will meet you at the boat station and drop you off at your hotel in Hue City, concluding an unforgettable day.
