Song Huong or Perfume River orgins from Truong Son mountain borders with Laos then crossing mountains to Hue. The peaceful river green water and peaceful landscapes are influencing to many music, poems, stories...in Vietnam. Take sailing Perfume River is the most memorial experience for any ones when visit Hue.
We go under Truong Tien bridge, one of the oldest bridge in Vietnam built in 1897 by a special King, Thanh Thai King but it was devasted by a big flood. Then 1900, The French built another one by Steel Bridge name: Trang Tien with the cooperation with the company built Eiffel Tower in Paris ( Levalllois Perrret La Societe Constructions Levallois). Another name is Cloudy Bridge because its shapes looks like Cloud on the Sky.
Sitting on the Dragon Boat to see Hue Imperial Citadel with giant Flag Mausoleum, Royal Palace where Emperors working before and Forbidden Citadel.
We had the boat completely to ourselves which was lovely. There’s no information about where you’re going along the river but that was what were liked about it. The boat was a little old and we sat on plastic chairs in the sunshine and enjoyed the river scenery.
If you are looking for romance this is not the boat trip for you. The boat is run by locals and has seen better days. It was nice to be out on the river and see the city from a different perspective. There was one other couple on the trip with us. The lady on the boat spent the return journey trying to sell us scarves and clothing which was a bit of a distraction. That said we did enjoy the spin up and down the river.
We had fun, the people were nice and the views were nice but there were problems. When we arrived we had a hard time finding the driver. Also there was a rat on the boat which made us scared.
Was nice to have the boat to ourselves, but no water was offered nor did we go past the mu pagoda the 1st part of river coconut island was dirty smelly and took us away from the nicer area. Rickshaw was good bit scary as bikes and cars get close very polluted too. The market and area were ok nothing special but nice to see the area. Rickshaw drivers worked hard so gave them a tip.
They tried to put us on a group tour when we arrived, I had booked and paid for a private tour. They Conducted repairs on the boat during tour, hammering loudly for about half of the boat ride. The other half of the trip they spent selling us items on the boat. I get that they are making money for themselves but it actually felt like we were on a floating market as opposed to a relaxing sunset boat ride. the whole experience was not value for money..,
Did the 6pm cruise which allowed us to see the sunset and nightlife along the river. Communication beforehand was very clear and efficient. People on board were nice and gave us space to enjoy the boat to ourselves

I had a very interesting experience on this trip. I learned some simple wood carving techniques and made my own product. My tour guide was very friendly.
The scenery of the old city gives a very magical feeling. I experienced something new with the guide of Ao Dai Rider Tour. The Hoi An cuisine was really impressive~~ I will definitely come back here with my family next time.
