Legacy of Huong River

If the French are proud of the resplendent Seine River, the Hungarians of the romantic blue Danube River and the Russians of the gentle Don River, then people of Hue in Central Vietnam have full right to be proud of the romantic and poetic Huong (Perfume) River. The river is not only a perfect example of nature’s beauty, but also a legendary and mystic river holding so many imprints of the Imperial City of Vietnam during the 1802-1945 period.
Going back in time
On a beautiful day we made a trip by boat down the Huong River to enjoy the fresh and tranquil air along this romantic waterway. The tiny boat was like a little bamboo leaf quietly gliding on the water. The sunshine is as bright as honey, making the water surface glitter like a gold plate. Although we could not get to its upstream point where the two currents of Ta Trach and Huu Trach made up its starting flow, we could discover many interesting things hidden behind this river.
