The limpid blue river shimmers like jade in the sun, Hue boats go up and down, along with the melodious, contemplative, and deep singing in the middle of the night. Taking a boat trip to see the poetic and beautiful sights along the Perfume River and listening to Hue folk songs at night is a pleasure for many tourists.
Since ancient times, the Perfume River in Hue flows through a lot of forests rich in herbs, with the scent of natural flowers and plants. So when flowing through Hue city, the river brings with it its natural fragrance. The river slowly passes through the green, tree-lined villages of Kim Long, Nguyet Bieu, Vi Da, Dong Ba, Gia Hoi, Cho Dinh, Nam Pho, and Bao Vinh, mixed with the fragrance of Hue flowers. That’s why the locals named it “Perfume River.” Another reason for its name is that Thuy Xuan Incense Village is located on the riverbank. This 200-year-old incense village uses sandalwood, cinnamon, lemongrass, jasmine, and other natural components. The villagers use the river’s clear water blended with sawdust, scent, and tree glue to produce incense and frankincense, which makes the river smell nice. So it’s called the “Perfume River” for that reason.
Hue’s weather is divided into two distinct seasons throughout the year; that is, the dry season starts from March to September, and the rainy season takes place from October to February the following year. Because the specificity of the dragon boat ride on the Perfume River is an outdoor activity, the most suitable time for this service to develop is in the dry season. You can come to experience this typical service in Hue, specifically from March to September.
Hue is the place where 13 kings of the Nguyen Dynasty lived and reigned the country. Hence, it is not surprising that this place converges many elegant and royal pleasures.
