Itinerary
1
Hue Imperial City (The Citadel)
1 hour
Located on the northern bank of Huong River, the former capital of Vietnam is an area which is over 500ha, including the Royal and the Forbidden City. Hue citadel was the administrative and political center of Nguyen Dynasty – the last Feudatory Emperor of Vietnam. In 1993, Hue Citadel was admitted “the World’s Cultural Heritage” by UNESCO.
2
Thien Mu Pagoda
40 minutes
This is the oldest pagoda and also the symbol of Hue city. Right in front of Thien Mu pagoda, you will find Phuoc Duyen tower - 21m tall and has 7 floors, each floor is there a Statue of Buddha . Inside the tower, there is a spiral staircase leading up to the top floor, where a golden Statue of Buddha used to be there.
3
Tomb of Khai Dinh
1 hour
Located on Chau Chu mountain. Khai Dinh Tomb is special with strange architecture, unlike the tombs of the previous kings. It is a mixture of many different cultures. At the first glance, Khai Dinh tomb is like a castle in Europe, because it was built on a concrete slope. Indigenous materials such as wood, stone, brick and lime here are just a negligible amount, overwhelming by the modern materials.
