Fly from Ho Chi Minh City to Da Nang International Airport, then take a motorcoach transfer to your hotel in Hoi An, a charming riverside town known for its lantern-lit streets and centuries-old architecture.

You’ll also have the chance to visit the tomb of Emperor Ming Mang, who ruled between 1820 and 1841. Set alongside the Perfume River, this UNESCO World Heritage site is best known for its symmetric arrangement and seamless integration with the natural landscape.
