Discover the Perfume River (Sông Hương) with our special tours
The Perfume River, or Sông Hương, flows gracefully through the heart of Huế, weaving together the city’s history, poetry, and soul. Its name comes from the fragrant blossoms that once drifted downstream from orchards in the upper reaches during autumn, giving the water a delicate scent.
Historically, Sông Hương played a vital role in the formation and prosperity of the Nguyễn Dynasty. It served as a natural boundary, a transportation route, and a source of inspiration for poets, musicians, and royalty. The river has witnessed royal processions, imperial ceremonies, and countless love stories — becoming a timeless symbol of Huế’s romantic and cultural identity.
Even today, the Perfume River remains the city’s most iconic landmark, reflecting both its ancient grandeur and tranquil charm.
Glide gently down the river in a traditional dragon boat — perfect for sightseeing, relaxing, or enjoying live music on board.
Explore iconic sites like Thiên Mụ Pagoda, Trường Tiền Bridge, Imperial Citadel, and Hon Chen Temple — all connected by the river’s flow.
An unforgettable evening experience: float under the stars while listening to gentle folk melodies performed live on the river.
Golden hour on the Perfume River is truly magical — best viewed from Vọng Cảnh Hill or a riverside café.
The leafy riverbanks are ideal for walking or cycling, especially early morning or late afternoon.
During special occasions or Festival Huế, the river becomes a stage for performances, light shows, and floating lanterns.
With its reflections, misty mornings, and poetic bridges, Sông Hương is a dream for artists and photographers.
