In particular, we offer two departure time options for your convenience: 7:30 am and 1:30 pm.
Visit Thien Mu Pagoda
Depending on the departure time you select while booking the tour, the tour guide and Hue Cyclo (or private car) will pick you up at the lobby of your hotel/homestay in the Hue City center. After everyone has boarded the cyclo, we will begin the Cooking Class At Thuy Bieu Village Tour.
Upon arrival at Toa Kham Wharf, travelers will board our dragon boat and begin their city tour by boat. After arriving at Thien Mu Pagoda, our expert tour guide will accompany you to explore this pagoda. This is regarded as the oldest pagoda in Hue and serves as a symbol of the city.
Here, the tour guide will present you with a wealth of information about this pagoda, particularly the myth of the strange “love curse” that locals have passed down since ancient times. In addition, visitors can also appreciate the many exquisite buildings erected inside Thien Mu Pagoda.
Explore Thuy Bieu Countryside Market
After finishing the temple trip, we will return to the dragon boat and travel to Thuy Bieu Village. Along the riverfront, you may see the gorgeous natural scenery, which includes rivers, mountains, and blue skies. Besides, guests can also witness Thuy Bieu’s specialized grapefruit gardens and the Hue Temple of Literature, which is built right on the riverbank.
When the boat arrives at the Hue Ecolodge pier at about 9 am (or 3 pm), we will ride bicycles to the local market in Thuy Bieu. This is the opportunity for you to visit the rural market, which sells fresh and clean food, the majority of which is grown locally. Not only that, but we will purchase some important materials for the following cooking session.
Furthermore, you will have interesting visits to local families to discover the traditional crafts. In particular, we will take you to:
- Incense-making home: Tourists visit a local family specializing in incense. You can see their working spaces and understand more about this iconic offering in Hue people’s spiritual lives.
- Votive paper-making home: Then your eyes will be treated to colorful, funny miniatures of clothes, shoes, jewelry, and so on. Are they just paper toys or something more superstitious? What are their functions? You will know on the visit.
- Village artist: Last but not least, you will come across a local house belonging to a native painter. He will introduce his work to you and show you his working space. Moreover, you can embrace a pastoral view from his house.
Take A Cooking Class At Thuy Bieu Village
Once you have purchased all of the essential goods, we will return to the Hue Ecolodge restaurant for cooking instruction with a local chef. You will prepare dishes such as fig salad with shrimp and pork, traditional Vietnamese spring rolls, and Banh Xeo.
After completion, you will be able to sample the dishes you just made, as well as four other dishes prepared by the restaurant’s professional chef. These foods include stir-fried veggies with shrimp and meat, vegetable soup, fried rice, and fruit for dessert.
Before letting you home, we give you a foot massage with native herbs. It eases your foot and is really healthy. During the massage, you can watch the romantic views of the Perfume River.
