Continue by vehicle to the outer areas of Hue, where a delicious homemade lunch will be served in a traditional garden house inside the gazebo of a beautiful pomelo garden. Once the appetite is filled, start a guided walk (or cycling) through the village and the surrounding area Here, the architecture reflects the traditional style of Hue, with small cottages hidden in gardens bordered by fences carved out of ornamental trees. The pomelos of this area are especially famous for having been served to the Nguyen Lords in bygone years. Take a break in a beautiful garden house for a fresh drink before embarking on a late afternoon boat ride along the Perfume River back to Hue.

On the way, stop at the Thien Mu Pagoda, perhaps Hue’s most iconic landmark located along the beautifully named Perfume River. Apart from the spiritual aspect and sweeping view, the vintage vehicle on display offers an interesting story.  (L)
