Depart to Hue to visit the Citadel, Hue’s prime attraction, which contains the Imperial City, the Forbidden Purple City, and the Emperor's Private Residence.
Have a short break for lunch and take a boat trip on the Perfume River with a stop at Thien Mu Pagoda, which is an active Buddhist monastery with its origins dating back to 1601. One of its most poignant displays is a car belonging to a former monk, who in 1963, drove to Sai Gon and set himself on fire to protest against the South Vietnamese regime and its cruel treatment of Buddhist monks and followers.
At the end of your tour, visit the serene Khai Dinh Royal Tomb, designed to blend in with its natural surroundings and built on the principles of feng-shui.
