Step by Step Itinerary

Detailed Itinerary: 90-Minute Hue Electric Boat Cruise. Boarding at Chuong Duong Boat Pier

Your experience begins at Chuong Duong Boat Pier in Hue.

Board the modern Eboat Feniko electric sightseeing boat and get ready to discover three historic waterways: the Perfume River, Dong Ba River, and Ngu Ha River.

Settle into your seat and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere as the boat begins its journey through the heart of Hue.

Truong Tien Bridge and Dong Ba Market

The first highlights of the journey include two familiar symbols of Hue: Truong Tien Bridge and Dong Ba Market.

Truong Tien Bridge is one of the city's most iconic landmarks, spanning the Perfume River with its distinctive historic design. It has long been associated with the identity and everyday life of Hue.

Nearby, Dong Ba Market is one of the city's most famous traditional markets. With a history of more than 127 years, it remains an important commercial and cultural center where visitors can discover local products, traditional foods, and the daily life of Hue residents.

Enjoy the riverside views and capture memorable photographs as the boat continues toward Dong Ba River.

Cruise Along Dong Ba River – Discover the Old City

Continue along Dong Ba River, where the scenery reveals a quieter and more traditional side of Hue.

Pass historic landmarks such as:

Gia Hoi Bridge

Admire Gia Hoi Bridge and the surrounding riverside neighborhood, an area closely connected with the development of the historic urban landscape of Hue.

Dieu De Pagoda

Dong Ba Bridge (Black Bridge)

As you cruise through this area, discover the old neighborhoods and riverside architecture that reflect the city's development during the Nguyen Dynasty and later periods.

Enter Ngu Ha River Through Thanh Long Water Gate

One of the most distinctive parts of the journey is the passage through Thanh Long Water Gate, where the boat enters Ngu Ha River.

Ngu Ha River is an important historic waterway within Hue Imperial City. Developed during the Nguyen Dynasty, it formed part of the city's sophisticated water management and urban planning system.

Beyond its architectural and historical significance, the river played an important role in water circulation, drainage, landscape design, and the daily life of the imperial capital.

Cruising along Ngu Ha offers a different perspective on Hue, revealing historic waterways and architectural features that many visitors do not experience during a conventional city tour.

Discover Dong Thanh Thuy Quan and the Historic Defensive Waterways

Continue along Ngu Ha River to admire Dong Thanh Thuy Quan (Luong Y Water Gate) near Xuan 68 Street.

This historic structure is part of the waterway and defensive system associated with Hue's former imperial citadel. Combining the functions of a bridge and a strategic water gate, it reflects the close relationship between architecture, water management, and military defense in the Nguyen Dynasty capital.

Continue through Cau Kho Water Gate near Dinh Tien Hoang Street, where you can learn about the historic brick gate architecture and the surrounding heritage area.

Your journey also offers views toward Mang Ca, a historically significant military area within the former imperial capital.

At Khanh Ninh Water Gate, the boat turns around, allowing you to enjoy a different perspective of Ngu Ha River and its historic surroundings.

Stop at Phung Hung Pier

Near Khanh Ninh Water Gate, the boat heads toward nearby Phung Hung Pier.

Take a short break to relax, explore the surroundings, and capture photographs before boarding again.

This stop offers another opportunity to appreciate the peaceful atmosphere of Hue's historic waterways.

Visit Feniko Cultural Space at 94 Bach Dang Street

Continue back toward Dong Ba River and stop at 94 Bach Dang Street – Feniko, where you can discover the cultural and historical atmosphere of the old Bach Dang riverside neighborhood.

This area offers a glimpse into the traditional character of Hue, with its historic streets and close connection to the city's river-based way of life.

Take some time to explore the space and capture photographs before returning to the boat.

Return to Chuong Duong or Toa Kham Boat Pier
