Day 1: Da Nang to Hoi An

Our representative will welcome you to the airport in Da Nang City, which has many flights from other countries and cities coming here.

We will transfer you to a restaurant if it’s time to have lunch. You can take a rest and enjoy the first meal with the local taste of Central Vietnam.

After that, move to your hotel in Hoi An City, check in at the hotel, and take your rest. You have time to explore the ancient town where many old houses, temples, and Chinese Assembly Halls are.

So many opportunities give you various beautiful photos. Thus, do not forget to carry your camera full of battery for taking pictures.

Day 2: Hoi An – My Son – Cam Thanh Coconut Village and Tra Que

You welcome a peaceful morning in Hoi An with your breakfast right at the hotel. Then, starting for exploring the culture, history, and cuisine around.

The private car will carry you through the countryside and rice fields to the mountain where My Son Holy Land locates. You spend here around 1.5 – 2 hours exploring the ancient temples and towers built from the 7th to 13th centuries. The typical material comes from clay but still remains until now.

Besides, you can enjoy Cham dance for 15 – 20 minutes. The songs and dances are created from the images and statues on the walls of temples. This short performance shows on most days; however, on special occasions, they may stop showing.

After exploring here, we drive back to Hoi An and go directly to Tra Que Village to have lunch. We choose lunch here because it is a cool place to taste the food while seeing the green colors of vegetables. The local food is served for your meal.

Then, come back to the hotel to relax, or we can drop you at Hoi An Ancient City for your own walking around the old town. It’s a chance for shopping a few souvenirs.

Day 3: Hoi An – Ba Na Hills – Hue City, Via Hai Van Pass

After checking out the hotel, you will drive to Ba Na Hills, where you can walk on the famous Golden Bridge.

Taking a cable car is another experience here from the foot of the hills when you can see beautiful nature from the cabin slowly running. Besides, you cannot miss many attractive places, such as flower gardens, pagodas, French villages…

After around 3 hours of visiting Ba Na Hills, we drive to the top of Hai Van Pass to enjoy a great view (it’s great on dry days). Taking pictures around and tasting a cup of coffee can do here.

We stop at Lang Co beach for lunch before driving to Hue City Center to check in at the hotel to relax.
