Hue Hidden Charms From Garden Trails to Lagoon Sunsets

Your day begins with a transfer to the peaceful village of Thuy Bieu, nestled along the Perfume River. From here, hop on a bicycle and leisurely pedal through shady garden paths, where pomelo orchards and ancient houses whisper stories of Hue’s aristocratic past. Along the way, you’ll visit a charming garden house to enjoy a traditional herbal foot soak, followed by a hands-on session of making sesame candy, one of Hue’s beloved local treats. Savor a home-cooked lunch prepared by your host using ingredients from the garden — a true taste of Hue’s refined culinary heritage.

After lunch, we shift from the green tranquility of Thuy Bieu to the vast, reflective waters of Tam Giang Lagoon. At Chuon Lagoon, part of Southeast Asia’s largest brackish ecosystem, a completely different rhythm of life awaits.

Hop aboard a local fishing boat and join the villagers in time-honored activities such as net casting and trap lifting – traditional methods used for generations. You’ll also have the chance to paddle a stand-up board (SUP) through the serene mangrove-like scenery of the lagoon- a favorite photo spot for those seeking otherworldly natural beauty.

As the sun begins its descent, soak in the magical view of Chuon Lagoon, where the sky and water become one in hues of gold and lavender. Enjoy a freshly prepared seafood dinner at a rustic floating restaurant – a unique oasis in the middle of the lagoon. Don’t miss local favorites like the crispy and flavorful bánh khoái hải sản.

The day concludes with a gentle cruise back to the pier and transfer to your hotel in Hue — carrying with you not only the flavor of the sea but also the stillness of the sunset over one of Vietnam’s most poetic landscapes.
