Hue City Tour From Chan May Port
In the Morning
After the right time when you have your booking, we will come to pick you up at Chan May port to start the Hue city tour. It will take about 1 hour and 30 minutes to get to Hue city.
The first place you will visit is the Khai Dinh Tomb. The tomb of the 12th emperor of the Nguyen dynasty. Khai Dinh Royal Tomb is the most expensive and fabulous royal tomb globally. As you know, all the Nguyen dynasty emperors built the royal tombs for themselves before they died, for their afterlife. Because they thought, in this life, they were emperors, afterlife, and they would be emperors again. So what they needed in this life, they thought they would need in the afterlife. Everything in the tomb has never been used in the past, and it's only for the afterlife. When you go inside the tomb, you will get amazed by its excellent decoration.
A beautiful part of the Hue city tour from Chan May port is the delicious lunch. After the Khai Dinh Royal Tomb, go to a local food restaurant to enjoy lunch with many local specialities.

They started building the Hue Imperial City (The Citadel) in 1802, and it took 31 years to complete. It follows the perfect Fengshui law. The Citadel faces the Perfume River and gets the Ngu Binh Mountain to be a screen in front. 2 islets, Hen islet on the left is the green dragon, and Da Vien islet is on the right as the green dragon White Tiger guarding the Hue Citadel.
