✨ Magazine Focus: Four Must-See Cultural Experiences on Your Journey
01 | The Imperial Years Against the Current: Perfume Cruises and the Imperial City of Hue
Leaving the modern Da Nang, our private vehicle will take you along the Hai Van Pass, one of National Geographic's "50 Places You Must See Before You Die," to Hue. Along the way, you can enjoy magnificent panoramic views of the sea of clouds, the ocean, and the mountains.
Upon arrival in this ancient capital, you will board a traditional small boat and cruise along the tranquil Perfume River, passing the historic Thien Ao Pagoda. Afterwards, you will enter the Imperial City of Hue, built in 1804, visiting the Noon Gate, Thai Hoa Palace, and the Forbidden City, experiencing firsthand the former glory and grandeur of the Nguyen Dynasty. In the evening, we will specially arrange a ceremonial "Vietnamese Royal Style Dinner" for you, perfectly concluding this journey back in time.
02 | Romance under the lanterns and a water town experience: Hoi An Ancient Town and bamboo rafting
Hoi An Ancient Town perfectly preserves the appearance of an international trading port from hundreds of years ago. Our guides will lead you through the ancient streets with their yellow walls, strolling past the Japanese Bridge, the Tran Family House, and the Hokkien Mansion, savoring the architectural aesthetics that blend Chinese, French, Japanese, and Vietnamese cultures.
Beyond the static sights, the itinerary is also incredibly dynamic – we'll take you to Cam Thanh, a coconut grove village, where you'll board a traditional round bamboo boat and cruise through the lush waterways. You can admire the boatmen's skillful rowing and spinning techniques, and even try your hand at it, weaving unique artwork from coconut leaves and experiencing the most authentic and joyful Vietnamese rural life.
03 | Stroll through a fairyland in the clouds: Ba Na Hills cable car and the Golden Buddha Hand Bridge
When it comes to the most breathtaking photo spots in Vietnam and China, Ba Na Hills is an absolute must-see. We've prepared your admission ticket, and you'll ride a world-class, modern cable car system to the 1,487-meter-high summit.
As the cable car pierces through the thick clouds, the world-famous Golden Bridge comes into view. Two enormous, moss-covered stone hands support the golden bridge, making you feel as if you've stepped into a mythical world. At the summit, you'll also find an old French villa with European flair, a wine cellar, and Ling Yun Temple. If you get hungry, you can enjoy a sumptuous buffet lunch prepared for you on the mountain, satisfying both your eyes and your taste buds.
04 | A serene view overlooking the coastline: Panoramic views of Son Tra Peninsula and Da Nang
As the journey draws to a close, we'll return to the vibrant city of Da Nang. A private vehicle will take you around the verdant Son Tra Peninsula and to the renowned Linh Ung Pagoda. Standing before the towering 67-meter-tall Guanyin statue, you can enjoy unobstructed panoramic views of Da Nang's magnificent cityscape and its long coastline. The itinerary is well-paced, ensuring you leave with wonderful memories, before you are safely transported to the airport for your return journey.
