3. Once you have time, let’s
experience a night on Scent River.
On one bank of it, large verdant
grassland at the foot of Ngo Mon
gate of Dai Noi palace is ideal for
some walk. On the other bank,
there are some lovely informal
cafes, with hundreds of seats
outside (normally full of families
and pilgrims). You can also opt
for a slow but cool cyclo across
Trang Tien Bridge.
4. Perfume river on a Dragon boat:
Folk singing on the Perfume river
You can also hire a boat for 2
hours and listen to Hue royal
music on boat. Five women sing
and a man plays instrument.
Worth a try for sure.
