Thien Mu Pagoda

Hue Citadel
After exploring this iconic site, we will enjoy a leisurely boat ride back to Hue city center, soaking in the serene views. Once we disembark, we will proceed to the Hue Citadel, the city’s most renowned landmark.

Tomb of Tu Duc
Next, we will visit the Tomb of Tu Duc, a magnificent resting place for the longest-reigning monarch of the Nguyen Dynasty ([ ]). Emperor Tu Duc meticulously planned his final resting place long before his passing, with the tomb completed in 1867.
