Itinerary
Giorno 1 — Hue
Welcome upon arrival and transfer to the hotel, the rest of the day available,
Giorno 2 — Hue
Breakfast, At 8:00 AM, departure with the guide for a visit to Hue, the seat of the great Capital of the Annamite Kingdom under the Nguyen Dynasty. At that time, Hue was the most influential city in Southeast Asia, rivaled in importance only by Bangkok and Mandalay. Besides their power and influence, the Nguyen emperors of the 19th century are also remembered for the superb beauty and grandeur of their tombs, which were built in the hilly areas south of the great Song Huong, the “Perfume River.” Of particular interest is the funerary complex of Emperor Tu Duc.
Not far from the imperial tomb lies Thuy Bieu, a charming rural village that offers a glimpse into the relaxed daily lifestyle typical of central Vietnam. Cross the village on an engaging bike tour, with several stops to enjoy the local atmosphere. One stop will be at the home of a painter who decorates the famous Vietnamese conical hats, which will be given as gifts to participants. Lunch will then be hosted in the private home of a local family.
Afterwards, return by car to the historic center of Hue, located north of the great river. The Imperial Citadel was its heart. Even today, long artificial canals connected to the river surround it within a gigantic quadrilateral-shaped island which, together with its massive walls, served defensive purposes. At the center of the Citadel stood the “Forbidden City,” laid out according to a typically Chinese design. Today, among its ruins, it is still possible to admire the audience hall, entirely constructed of finely carved wood, along with various administrative and religious buildings. Nearby is also the typical local Dong Ba Market.
Along the route to the Citadel, stop at the sacred Thien Mu Pagoda, dedicated to a distinctly local version of Mahayana Buddhist worship.
The evening will instead be dedicated to the vibrant atmosphere of street food! Through a gastronomic tour (departure from the hotel by 7:30 PM) aboard the typical cyclo, ride through the bustling streets of the city center in search of the finest local delicacies. The first stop will be at a small stall where you can taste pancakes with grilled pork. Afterwards, sample local desserts made from sweetened bean soups. Return to the hotel at the end of the visits.,
Giorno 3 — Hue → Hoi An
Breakfast, At 8:00 AM, departure from Hue heading south toward Danang Province (approximately 100 km, 2 hours and 30 minutes). The two provinces are separated by a natural barrier formed by an extension of the Annamite Range reaching all the way to the sea.
Arrival in Danang, the third largest and most populous city in the country, which in recent years has experienced continuous economic development. Danang is home to the important Cham Sculpture Museum, dedicated to the ancient Cham people, an Indianized culture that settled in what is now central-southern Vietnam from the beginning of the first millennium AD. Visit the museum and then continue towards the ancient town of Hoi An (30 km, 45 minutes), once an extremely important port along the main Asian maritime trade routes connecting China and Japan with the rest of the continent. Shipping companies from various origins established real logistical centers in Hoi An, making it a meeting point of different cultures, traditions, customs, and lifestyles. Today, UNESCO has declared the entire historic center of Hoi An a World Heritage Site.
Before reaching Hoi An, stop at Tra Que, an inland village famous for its vast vegetable gardens stretching as far as the eye can see. Enjoy a walking tour through the gardens to collect fresh vegetables needed to prepare a delicious lunch during a local cooking class. In the afternoon, enjoy a walking tour of the ancient quarter of Hoi An, visiting the “Japanese Bridge,” the old merchants’ houses, and the temples of the Chinese clans, including the Fujien Assembly Hall.
