TOURING
DAY 6
Depart Hanoi today for your Vietnam Airlines flight to Danang. On arrival visit the Cham Museum, learn more about this historical culture and the power it once yielded over the region of Indochina and Thailand. Take a stroll on China Beach where the Americans first landed back in 1965. Later today pass by Hoi An and see a little of this historic seaport visited by many nations including Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese traders of the 16th Century. See how their influences affected architecture within this once small fishing village. Depart Hoi An via the Hai Van Pass. This scenic journey passes pretty villages and fruit orchards as you hug the coastline on your journey to Hue for your overnight stay.
On arrival take a short tour of the city visiting the History Museum, the Notre Dame cathedral and the Presidential Palace. Enjoy your evening at leisure, we would recommend a walk around district 1 to see the lively streets and al fresco bars that provide a social scene for many of the young Vietnamese.
DAY 9
Pass through the suburbs of this bustling city on your journey to explore the tunnels at Cu Chi. Drive through scenic areas of paddy fields and fruit farms that provide produce to local markets and traders bound for the city. On arrival at the Cu Chi Tunnels explore this underground network that was a hideout and home for scores of Vietnamese insurgents during the Vietnam War. Return back to Ho Chi Minh City en route to your hotel visit Chinatown in district 5 and the Thien Hau Pagoda.
DAY 7
Situated on the Perfume River this ancient imperial city was once the home to Vietnam's last ruling dynasty. An important cultural centre of Vietnam and a city with great national pride, Hue has many historical, cultural and religious monuments. Today visit the sights of Hue, enjoy a cruise along the Perfume River to visit the Tomb of Minh Mang and its many statues acting as guardians and still protecting their emperor till today. Visit the Thien Mu Pagoda, Hue's oldest and most religious monument. Later enjoy a tour of Dong Ba Market and Hue's Imperial Citadel.
