The culture of the Co Tu ethnic minority group in central Vietnam is one forged from the Bronze Age, and very little has changed about it since.

From fruits to seafood, the royal family who lived in Hue between 1802 and 1945 owe a lot of their elaborate cuisine to the products of Thuy Bieu and Tam Giang Lagoon. We discover the royal love for pomelo and seafood on the Thuy Bieu – Tam Giang Lagoon Full Day tour, operated by Incredible Asia Journeys. We begin at Thuy Bieu Eco-Village, a rural enclave to the west of Hue that boasts verdant nature in its tree-lined village paths, fruit orchards, and splendid garden houses, once the retreats of members of the Nguyen Dynasty who held their royal court in Hue. After enjoying the delights of pomelo jam and tea in Thuy Bieu’s natural assets, we head to Tam Giang Lagoon, a vast expanse of shimmering water that stretches to the horizon in some parts and is backed by the gentle slopes of mountains in others. Fishermen here approach their jobs in the same way they have for hundreds of years, by casting large nets into the water and hauling up a fruitful catch.The Thuy Bieu – Tam Giang Lagoon Full Day tour is perfect for discovering some of the natural wonders surrounding the ancient capital of Hue.
The Nguyen Dynasty contributed a lot to Vietnamese culture during their 143-year rule in Hue, but arguably none more so than in the realm of food. The untold wealth of Vietnam’s 13 different kings, along with their general love for extravagance, meant that chefs in the Imperial Citadel of Hue were provided with ingredients and allowed free reign for anything that they wanted to experiment with. The Hue Night Culinary Tour takes you through some of the eventuating creations, ones that have become popular at street level in Hue and around the country. We take you through the history of Hue’s food culture, discovering foods that once graced the tables of the royal court. We take a guided tour by cyclo around Hue, stopping at various restaurants and street carts on the way and trying some of the fantastic offerings they have here. Between crispy fried pancakes, pork with lemongrass, clam soup with noodles, and a sweet coconut dessert, you will be sure to find something that tickles your taste buds, just as they were in the Imperial Citadel 200 years ago.

The beautiful landscapes of Vietnam are incredibly rich in their diversity, with the country able to boast some of the best mountains, waterfalls, lakes, and rice terraces in the world, but Phong Nha–Ke Bang National Park stands out as an example of some of Mother Nature’s finest work.

There are many rock formations to discover, as well as animals and resilient bits of flora along the path of the cave as it grows steadily darker away from the sunlight.Phong Nha Cave has fast become an unmissable activity in Vietnam since its relatively recent discovery, and the Hue – Phong Nha Cave Full Day Tour is the best option for you to explore its fantastic interior and exterior.
The plaudits for Hue usually go to its impressive citadel and the tombs and pagodas that dot its surrounding areas along the Perfume River. However, a special mention must go to the handicraft villages of Hue, that lie in its rural enclaves amidst serene rolling hills, forests, and languid canals. The locals in these villages have been producing their wonderful handicrafts for hundreds of years, be it jewelry, folk art, textiles, conical hats, or paper flowers. This Hue Day Trip from Incredible Asia Journeys takes you on a trip around these villages under your power on two wheels. We save the majesty of Hue for another day as we cycle past its more humble surroundings. The beautiful scenery and much slower pace of life to be found just a few kilometers out of Hue are far removed from the idea of the royal court, which ruled from Hue for several hundreds of years. We visit small villages, pagodas, a beautiful bridge, and Ho Chi Minh’s childhood home as the Explore Hue Countryside by Bicycle tour shows us the best that Hue’s perimeters have to offer.
Just 5km from the city center of Hue lies Thuy Bieu, an area of lush greenery known throughout the province for the gorgeous taste and scent of pomelo that historically reached even the most royal palettes of the Imperial Citadel. Pomelo was grown in great numbers for gigantic royal feasts, which put the many orchards and gardens of Thuy Bieu on the map.Nowadays, Thuy Bieu is a paradise of immense vegetation, which lines the village paths of this tiny community. The Cooking Class and Thuy Bieu Eco-Village Tour combine the sight of Thuy Bieu’s rural beauty with the well-established taste of Hue, where the majority of Vietnam’s many popular dishes originated. This tour, operated by Incredible Asia Journeys, takes you on a boat trip down the Perfume River, followed by a bike tour of Thuy Bien’s several natural and architectural attractions, and finishes with an informative cooking class led by a professional and local chef.Leave the urban life behind in Hue, on the Cooking Class and Thuy Bieu Eco-Village Tour.
