Day 6. Hue
Overnight – Azerai La Residence Hue
Your day will start in the morning with a visit to the impressive mausoleum of King Tu Duc (ruled 1848 – 1883). Close by is the next attraction, the unique mausoleum of King Khai Dinh (ruled 1916 – 1925). These ornate and colorful monuments, designed by the kings themselves, were also used as holiday retreats during their lifetimes. Next you will enjoy a guided walk-through older part of Hue, including a busy market located next to the river. After a lunch break you will continue your exploration with a visit to the Royal Citadel. The sprawling complex of palaces, fortifications and pagodas was, in its day, virtually impenetrable. The tour of this Imperial City features monuments such as the Flag Tower, Noon Gate, Nine Dynastic Urns, Nine Holy Cannons, Thai Hoa Palace (Palace of Supreme Harmony), and the Forbidden Purple City.
