Tour Overview

HUE IMPERIAL CITADEL

(whole day trip, Small Group tour/ Private Tour)

Hue located 130 km northern of Hoi An, was the capital of Vietnam, the feudal sovereignty, from 1744 when the Nguyen lords controlled all of southern Vietnam from the city. The dynasty of the Nguyen family lasted (in theory) from 1802, when Nguyen Anh defeated rebels to control the city, until 1945, when the last emperor abdicated. The city was severely damaged in the 1968 Tet offensive during the American war, when house-to-house fighting lasted for weeks, but many architectural gems remain and are well worth a visit. Hue is divided between the older fortified Citadel, containing almost everything interesting and the new, smaller sprawl that has developed across the river. The new side contains most of the facilities, the hotels, restaurants, travel agencies, and banks. People come to Hue to see the old Imperial complex, the Citadel and the Forbidden city, the pagodas, and the many tombs of the emperors that lie a few kilometers south of the city. Each tomb is a walled compound containing temples, palaces and lakes. Hue is a quiet, relaxing city, big enough to be interestingbut small enough to bicycle around. The food is great, the best in Vietnam, and the women are supposed to be the most beautiful in the country.

This little Mui Ne is absolutely magical at sunrise and sunset. The Red & White Sand Dunes is exactly how a desert has been imagined to be – a vast expanse of barren land. It is not an hour's drive from the center of Mui Ne. we must say that it is most definitely worth the commute. A few activities that could be enjoyed at your own expense are Quad Bike and sliding sand. Everything is bathed in a luminescent light.
