Full description

Start your day with pickup in Da Nang and transfer to the train station. Board a scenic train to Lang Co, passing the blue coastline, Hai Van Pass, and Lang Co Bay—one of Asia’s most beautiful railway routes.

Meet your guide upon arrival. Enjoy a short break in Lang Co for rest and photo opportunities (about 15 minutes), then continue by vehicle to Hue.

Begin with Thien Mu Pagoda, an iconic seven-story pagoda on the Perfume River and one of Hue’s most significant landmarks. Next, enjoy a traditional dragon boat cruise on the Perfume River, discovering the city’s imperial legacy as you go. Lunch follows at a local restaurant, with authentic Hue specialties (vegetarian options available).

In the afternoon, tour the UNESCO-listed Hue Imperial Citadel—its palaces, temples, and courtyards reveal the grandeur of Vietnam’s past.

Wrap up with a stop at an incense-making village, where you’ll learn traditional techniques and make your own incense. Return to Da Nang by vehicle.
