Despite the imperial image of Hue, the nature around its province is just as celebrated as the historical wonders of the city. One such area lies 40km south of Hue and projects the image of rolling green hills, beautiful lakes, and stunning semi-tropical rainforests for which the central regions of Vietnam are known. The Bach Ma National Park Full-Day Tour, operated by Incredible Asia Journeys, takes you around this former French Hill Station, where the climate is cooler and the views are simply breathtaking.The wild beauty of Bach Ma can be seen from its peak, from its lakeside, and at the top of its cascading waterfalls. We visit all three on this day tour from Hue, as well as a stop-off at Cau Hai Lagoon, with its vast, watery expanse that presses up to the feet of distant mountains. We explore the huge array of flora and fauna that thrive in this elevated climate, high from the humidity of Hue Province and far removed from the rush of the cities of Hue and Danang, between which it lies.
Ancient civilization meets the modern metropolis in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam's largest city and the site of the country's fastest progress.

Ancient Chinese temples sit alongside skyscrapers as the city’s many roots mingle in one collective mass.The Ho Chi Minh City Full Day Tour, operated by Incredible Asia Journeys, shows you the juxtaposition of old and new through the architecture and atmosphere of the new Saigon.
