Da Nang - Hue Vietnam

DA NANG VIETNAM



I booked Kuala Lumpur - Da Nang  flight with Air Asia Go including 3 star hotel for 9 night with breakfast approximately RM1100 for 2 pax Wow it's a great deals. Unfortunetaly on the first day our flight delayed for 3 hour. So sad 😭😭.



We reached in the evening and started exploring  Han River.  It's a romantic river with 5 gorgeous bridges crossing and sparkling river with  beautiful lighting on every bridge. The most attractive is Dragon Bridge where you can witness the dragon breathes  fire after that it spits water on every saturday night at 9pm. wherelse  there will be a revolver bridge turning 360 degree for every sunday night at 11pm.





Here we travel the Han River by trishaw (Cyclo). About an hour it start raining and we have to stop and have our dinner.  After dinner we continue exploring Han River by foot. It's a pleasant night and we feel satisfied and tired.







We are lucky with this travelling date because we can witness the firework at Han River. We go to SKY36 at Novotel Hotel to witness the firework instead our own hotel. Here we pay VN50 000 each to SKY36. But some of the firework are weak to shot up till 36 floor.

The city’s beauty is characterized by a natural scenic landscape and an extensive variety of historical relics. So we  have lunch at the local restaurant.



After lunch,  we visit Tu Duc tomb, Thien Mu Pagoda, Citadel. Begin with Hue Citadel, a well-known UNESCO-recognized World Heritage Site which is a 520 ha fortress-like grand complex built in the early 1800s and featuring three enclosures separated by heavy ramparts namely Kinh Thanh Hue (Civic City) as the outer, Hoang Thanh (Royal City) as the middle and Tu Cam Thanh (Forbidden City) as the inner. Then visit the Tu Duc Tomb and Thien Mu Pagoda, an active Buddhist monastery overlooking the river from a vantage point with its origin dating back to 1601.
