To visit Hội An and Huế and miss the temples and palaces is like going to Rome and missing the Colosseum and The Vatican! So on leaving the wellness resort on Day 7, we spend four days travelling through to the ancient imperial capital of Huế and onto Hội An. The next few days will include.
Private guided tours of the Mausoleum of Emperor Tu Duc; Huế Imperial Palace Citadel including Changing of the Guard, historic towers, ornate imperial offices, and the breathtaking Forbidden Purple City.
Evening cruise on the beautiful Perfume River from the Thiên Mụ Temple pagoda.
A stop at Ngũ Hành Sơn – known as Marble Mountain. These are series of intricate temples built inside the marble filled mountain.
An exclusive early morning visit to the ancient My Son Temple complex. As the sun slowly rises you will have the opportunity to chant among the ruins of these one thousand year old Hindu temples.
With the beach so close we will provide transport - bus or cycle – changing rooms, showers and bar facilities on An Bang Beach - a popular place to relax – especially in September as the cooler season arrives in Vietnam.
Attend the globally acclaimed Teh Dar cultural show inside its’ own bamboo theatre. This is a story-telling circus with unique live music, using bamboo to produce awe inspiring art and tell the ways of tribal life of this part of Vietnam.
Hội An Night Market, a cruise under the ornate Japanese bridges and launch your own floating lantern. All followed by a final group dinner in a riverside restaurant.
On our last morning there will be time for a final yoga session, breakfast, collect those newly tailored clothes and transfer to Da Nang Airport.
A joy of Vietnam is that much of our food will be locally grown and prepared by staff who live nearby.
