From the station, our two cyclists will transfer to their hotel for check in, breakfast and to freshen up. After preparing the bikes and topping up water, the route takes them into town and across the perfumed river to Hué’s Imperial Citadel. Construction of the Hué royal city on the northern banks of the Huong (Perfume) River started in 1805 under the reign of King Gia Long and was completed in 1832 under the reign of King Minh Mang. They will cycle the Imperial Citadel and then ride out to the Mausoleums of Tu Duc (Tomb of Modesty) and Khai Dinh on part dirt tracks, part country lanes. They will continue riding past relics and ruins to Ho Quyen amphitheatre built in 1830 by Emperor Minh Mang, where elephants and tigers used to fight. The ride continues along country tracks taking in the lush countryside and unique Hué style architecture, to the beautiful Thien Mu Pagoda situated on the banks of the Perfume river. The biking is very much in contrast to the Delta flatlands around Hanoi. Overnight in hotel in Hué.
