Chuon Lagoon is part of the Tam Giang - Cau Hai lagoon system stretching along the East Sea in the area of Thua Thien Hue province. Paying a visit to this attraction is highly recommended for those who love exploring nature and the local lifestyle, specifically the lives of local fishermen.
To reach Chuon Lagoon, you can either ride a bike or take an air-conditioned car. Once there, get on a boat (sampan) and cruise on the lagoon. Whether it is in the morning or in the afternoon, you will surely capture stunning, once-in-a-lifetime photos.
Enjoy the picturesque landscapes and explore how the locals by the lagoon live. Stop by a "Chò house" or see the "nò, sáo"(bamboo fishing traps). If you are in a party of at least ten, you will also have the chance to take part in a fisherman's game!
Head back to “Chò house” to taste some fresh seafood and indulge your stomach. Return to your hotel at the end of the tour.
Morning and afternoon tours available.

The last stop of this tour will be Khai Dinh tomb - a visual representation of the decline of Vietnamese culture during the colonial era. Unlike Hue’s other tombs, the grandiose concrete structure, built between 1920 and 1931, is a synthesis of Vietnamese and European elements.

After about 15 minutes, you will reach a less touristic place named Bao Vinh - an ancient town having houses with over hundreds of years situated a long the narrow street, walking around to learn more about the life and the history of this place before taking a fascinating boat trip across the Perfume river to Tien Non Village.
It is about 20 minutes riding from this point to Sinh village, which is famous for its traditional paper paintings. Head to an artist's house, where you can spend some time talking about this special kind of craft and learn how to make a painting from traditional materials. The artist/teacher will guide you step-by-step to create a one-of-a-kind souvenir to bring back home.
Continue your cycling trip to Thanh Tien village, which is famous for its traditional craft of making paper flowers passed down to generations about four hundred years. The artisan here will teach you how to make the paper lotus with sophisticated steps. You can choose to make paper lotus in any colours: pink for supreme power, white for purity and violet for the beautiful Hue girl in “Áo dài”. Each colour manifests the beauty of the land and people of Hue. Keep the flowers as a special souvenir.
Bid farewell to your hosts, and ride back to the city. Tour ends at your hotel.
We had an amazing time exploring Vietnam and really appreciated how well everything was arranged. The itinerary covered a lot, but we have never felt overwhelmed.
Communication was clear throughout, and we always felt looked after. Special thanks to Mie, who made everything easy behind the scenes. Having someone you can trust while traveling in a new country makes a big difference.
