Next, we’ll walk to the town's most iconic landmark: the Japanese Covered Bridge. As you stand on this 400-year-old structure, you can almost hear the echoes of Japanese and Chinese traders from centuries past. We’ll dive deeper into history at the Quan Thang Ancient House, a stunningly preserved home where you’ll admire the intricate woodworking of Kim Bong carpentry masters. We'll also visit the Fujian Assembly Hall, a vibrant symbol of the town's multicultural heritage.
Then, the true adventure begins. We’ll board a local ferry for a refreshing cruise across the Thu Bon River to Kim Bong Carpentry Village. Here, you’ll witness artisans transforming wood into magic. Feel the creative energy as we cycle under the shade of village trees, visiting a workshop to admire their incredible talent.
Our ride continues on peaceful country lanes to Tra Nhieu village, a place seemingly untouched by time. This is your chance to connect with the heart of Vietnam. We'll meet Ms. Duoc, who weaves traditional sleeping mats with astonishing speed, and Mr. Kha, who masterfully crafts the iconic bamboo basket boats.
From Tra Nhieu, a private boat awaits to whisk you along the river to Cam Thanh village. As we cruise, watch the mesmerizing landscapes of fishing farms and dense water palm forests drift by. You'll be warmly welcomed into the home of a local fisherman, Mr. Phong.
Here, you’ll rest your legs and enjoy a soothing herbal foot massage, a true local remedy. Rejuvenated, you'll join a hands-on cooking class.

You get to feast on the delicious meal you just created!
To cap off this perfect day, you'll board a round bamboo basket boat and gently glide through the serene, green canals of the water palm forest. It’s a moment of pure peace and relaxation. Finally, we'll return you to your hotel as the sun begins to set on an unforgettable day.

After breakfast, your guide will meet you at 8:00 AM for a captivating journey into Vietnam's ancient past. We drive 40km from Hoi An into a lush, sacred valley, home to the My Son Sanctuary, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
This was once the spiritual and political heart of the mighty Champa Kingdom, which flourished for over a thousand years.

Our route takes us through Da Nang, where we'll first visit the Cham Museum. Holding the world's most important collection of Cham sculptures, this visit perfectly complements your experience at My Son.
Next, we’ll take a stroll along My Khe Beach, a beautiful stretch of coastline where you can see the giant "Goodness of Mercy" statue at Linh Ung Pagoda watching over the sea.
Then, we prepare for the day's highlight: conquering the legendary Hai Van Pass (Pass of Ocean Clouds). As we ascend this winding mountain road, the views become increasingly spectacular. We'll stop at the summit, where you can stand amidst old fortifications and feel the ocean mist on your face. The breathtaking panoramic view of the coastline plunging into the blue sea is a moment you will never forget.
Upon descending into Hue, you’ll immediately feel the change in atmosphere—from a bustling port to a serene, imperial city. After a local lunch, our first stop is the Thien Mu Pagoda, the spiritual heart of Hue. Standing on the banks of the Perfume River, its majestic seven-story tower is one of Vietnam's most iconic symbols.
Finally, we enter the domain of the emperors. We'll explore the vast Hue Imperial Citadel, a UNESCO World Heritage site surrounded by a massive moat. You’ll walk through the Flag Tower, the grand South Gate, and into the Forbidden Purple City (Cam Thanh), the exclusive home of the Nguyen Dynasty.

Disembarking at Tien Non village, we begin a delightful bicycle ride through the tranquil countryside. You’ll be immersed in the daily rhythm of life as we pedal through three artisan villages. In Tien Non, you'll see farmers tending to their fields. In Thanh Tien, a village with a 400-year history, you’ll meet Mr. Hieu, a renowned artisan who will teach you how to craft the beautiful paper lotus flowers used in worship.
We continue to Sinh village, the 400-year-old cradle of Hue’s traditional folk prints. Here, you’ll meet Mr. Phuoc, who will explain the ancient techniques of woodblock printing. This is a wonderful opportunity to find a truly unique souvenir that carries the soul of Hue.
In the afternoon, we journey from the people's art to an emperor's final, extravagant vision: the Tomb of Khai Dinh. Built over 11 years on a steep hillside, this tomb is a breathtaking and unique masterpiece blending Vietnamese, French, and Gothic architecture. You'll climb the grand dragon staircase to the main palace, where you'll be astonished by the amazing decoration—intricate mosaics made from thousands of porcelain and glass fragments, a giant ceiling painting, and a small museum of the king's possessions.
