I. 07 BEST THINGS TO DO IN HUE

1. Perfume River Cruise

As most of Hue’s iconic attractions, temples, and local villages are set along Perfume River, there are numerous tour operators offering cruises and paddleboat rentals at various price points. A popular option is Perfume River cruise, where you depart from Huong Pier on a traditional dragon boat.

After several minutes, the boat stops in front of Hue Imperial City, where you get to explore iconic Hue landmarks such as Thien Mu Pagoda, Hon Chen Temple, and the tomb of Emperor Minh Mang.

2. Thien Mu Pagoda

Thien Mu Pagoda is the most famous pagoda in Hue. Built in 1844 by Emperor Thieu Tri, it features golden Buddha images at the base, along with a big bell cast in 1710, and a stone turtle holding a marble stele inscribed in the 17th century.

This pagoda is also famous for being the home monastery of the Buddhist monk Thich Quang Duc who, in 1963, traveled to Saigon and burned himself to death at a busy downtown junction to protest against the then government.

The Austin car he used to drive down to Saigon is on display within the pagoda too. Thien Mu Pagoda is 3.5km west of the Phu Xuan Bridge (the railway bridge).
