Central Heritages

Day 1 - Arrive in Danang – Hoi An


On arrival in Danang drive to Hoi An. A destination with two faces – the charming, old-world trading port of narrow streets and traditional houses, and the beach with its new resorts and long stretch of clean white sand. In keeping with Hoi An’s heritage as a trading port, the town’s tiny shophouses now host a range of craft shops and artisans including some of Asia’s best bespoke tailors. Despite the passing of 200 years and the ravages of weather and war, the centre of Hoi An remains much the same as it was in its heyday.

 

Take a walking tour of the ancient town centre to visit former merchants’ houses, the 400 year-old Japanese Covered Bridge, a Chinese communal hall and the colorful market.

 

No meals on first day. Overnight in Hoi An.




Day 2 - Hoi An – Danang – Hue (B, L)


Leave Hoi An for Hue, the former imperial capital of Vietnam. It’s mesmerizing tombs and mausoleums of the last emperors of Vietnam reveal fascinating insights into the lives of the imperial families and their subjects. The ancient citadel reflects the pomp and ceremony of the dynastic rulers as well as the scars of many years of turmoil, both ancient and modern (the Royal Citadel was badly damaged in the latter stages of the war) but retains a sense of grace and majesty even today. 

 

Drive through Danang and visit the Cham Museum, which contains the finest collection of Cham sculptures in the world before climbing over the Pass of Ocean Clouds and dropping down to the wonderfully photogenic fishing village of Lang Co.

 

Visit the Imperial Citadel where the Nguyen Dynasty ruled between 1802 and 1945.  After exploring the ruins of this wonderful monument depart for the Mausoleum of Tu Duc, built decades before its occupant's death the tomb was used as a palace retreat before the emperors resting place. Finish up the day at Khai Dinh’s Tomb which is traditional Vietnamese in design with a European touch making it unique from the other tombs in Hue.

 

Dinner is on your own arrangement. Overnight in Hue. 




Day 3 - Hue (B)


Start your day a boat trip on the romantically named Perfume River visits Hue’s best-known religious site, Thien Mu Pagoda (or take a cyclo through the citadel), and the mausoleum of former emperor Minh Mang, in a tranquil setting of gardens and ponds.

 

In the afternoon enjoy some free time in Hue to explore its small streets and the Dong Da market where some of the best conical hats in Vietnam are to be found.
