After breakfast, you’ll leave for Ha Long Bay, one of the most spectacular UNESCO World Heritage Areas and the world’s largest marine limestone ‘karst’ landscape. There you’ll board a private wooden junk that takes you through Bai Tu Long Bay area. You’ll then continue your cruise to the bay’s most deserted areas with opportunities to swim at quiet sandy beaches. The route is designed to avoid the busy areas and includes a very quiet location in the bay for your overnight stay.

For your three-day Ha Long excursion, you’ll board the L Amour Junk one of the best wooden boats on the Bay. These are modelled on the Chinese royal-court vessels of old with three barge sails, a wide transom and rectangular superstructure.

The interior panelling, floor and furniture are of hardwood.

Your morning will be taken up by a cruise along the Perfume River to the Thien Mu Pagoda, and then by road to the Royal Tombs of Emperor Minh Mang and, in the afternoon, the Imperial Citadel.

In the evening, you’ll sit down to din ner in the pleasant surroundings and comfortable atmosphere of a garden house. You’ll spend the night in Hue.

Each Royal mausoleum reflects the personality of the Emperor it commemorates. The most majestic is that of Emperor Minh Mang, a staunch follower of Confucianism with many wives, concubines and a small army of children. Planned by the Emperor and built shortly after his death in formal Chinese style, it’s opulent and exotic, and a good example of classic Sino-Vietnamese architecture.

In complete contrast to Emperor Ming Mang’s flamboyant creation, the tomb of Emperor Khai Dinh is an unprepossessing concrete construction on the side of a wide valley. Its interest lies in the uneasy combination of Vietnamese and European features, the use of fragments of ceramics and glass for decoration, and the striking views from the courtyard in front of the mausoleum.

The garden houses are a unique feature of Hue. The houses are traditional, privately owned, and set in attractive formal gardens. Some have connections with the old Royal Imperial Court. Hue traditional architecture has long had close associations with the natural environment. The garden houses reflect this association. Each is highly individual – house and garden, people and scenery, plants, clouds and water co-exist and blend with each other in a harmonious context. The narrow streets and abundant flora give the garden house area a country village feeling.

Alternative for Day 6: Cycling to get closer to Hue’s life (B, L, G)

In the morning, you’ll cycle over the Perfume River eastwards to the rural area, to a local market, a temple, and some cottage industries making the characteristic Vietnamese conical hats.

Lunch will be at another garden house where the owner will prepare traditional Hue food. The menu will include an example of the heavily decorated Royal Food of the Imperial Court. From there, you’ll cycle up to the western part of Hue to visit An Hien garden house with its grand orchard, where the owner grows fruit trees brought from all over the country. You’ll then visit some of other cottage industries of Hue – you can choose whatever interests you: incense sticks, bronze carving or Hue’s cakes and confectionary. You’ll spend the night in Hue.

Day 7: Hue/Danang/Hoi An (B, L, G)

In the morning, your car will arrive to drive you to Danang. On the way, you’ll cross the high mountain pass of Hai Van. The views from the top are excellent – you should be able be able to see Lang Co beach and village, and the lagoon far below, with Danang spread out before you to the south.

Many remained there for months at a time, waiting for favourable trade winds to carry them home. There are plenty of good restaurants offering a variety of cuisines and price levels. The town is also a good place for shopping for silk. You can have your clothes tailor-made within a day or two at reasonable cost.

Its remarkable brick towers were badly bombed, but are still impressive, as is its remote valley setting. It’s set in a quiet, richly forested area, bisected by a clear stream.
