What to expect

  1. Hai Van Pass
    30m
    Your driver will pick you up at your hotel or Da Nang International Airport in the morning. Then, enjoy a scenic drive along the coast as you head north toward Hue.

    Known as “the Ocean Cloud Pass,” Hai Van offers panoramic views of the mountains and sea. Pause at the summit to take photos of the historic Hai Van Gate and admire the breathtaking natural scenery.
  2. Lang Co Beach
    20m
    After descending the pass, you’ll arrive at Lang Co Beach, where white sand meets turquoise water. Take a short break here to enjoy the view, grab a coffee, or have breakfast at a seaside café.
  3. Lap An Lagoon
    15m
    Just a few minutes from Lang Co, Lap An Lagoon stuns visitors with its mirror-like water and dramatic mountain backdrop. At sunrise or sunset, this place becomes a true photographer’s paradise.
  4. Hue Imperial City (The Citadel)
    2h · Admission ticket not included
    Once you arrive in Hue, begin your city tour at the Imperial Citadel. Walk through the majestic gates, explore the Forbidden Purple City, and discover the history of the Nguyen Dynasty, Vietnam’s last royal family.
  5. Thien Mu Pagoda
    40m
    Located along the Perfume River, Thien Mu Pagoda is the oldest pagoda in Hue and one of the city’s spiritual icons. The seven-story Phuoc Duyen Tower is a must-see symbol of Hue.
  6. Tomb of Khai Dinh
    1h · Admission ticket not included
    Unlike other imperial tombs, Khai Dinh Tomb blends traditional Vietnamese elements with European Gothic influences. It’s the most artistic and architecturally complex royal tomb in Hue.

    After a full day of sightseeing, your driver will take you back to Da Nang via Hai Van Tunnel or the scenic Hai Van Pass, depending on your preference. Arrival is expected in the late afternoon or early evening.
