Explore the eight Imperial tombs located at intervals along the
Perfume River. Take a boat trip for a day, but select your stops
with care - the sights can prove tiring and also expensive -
foreigners pay around ten times the local price for admission. We
recommend the tombs of Ming Manh and Gia Long. A boat for a day
should cost around US$12 including lunch for two. |

The seat of power in old Vietnam, unfortuantely badly damaged
(almost destroyed) during the Tet offensive of 1968 and the city's
brief occupation by the Viet Cong. Some interesting buildings
remain however, and a visit is worthwhile. |

Much photographed seven-tiered pagoda on the river, a little out of
town to the west. Included in the itinerary of most boat tours to
the Imperial tombs. |
