Hue Boat Tour on Perfume River is an experience to see the two banks of the Perfume River and their contrasting architecture. Perfume River is Hue’s typical river, flowing through the city center, dividing Hue city into two banks: South and North, so Hue has two different architectural styles.
Not only that, during the boat trip you will pass Hon Chen Palace, a sacred place with an important position in the spiritual life of the people of Hue. This sacred shelter was built by devout Cham descendants, serving as a sanctuary for worshiping Goddess Yana.
