Comfortable clothing
Your journey begins at Nghinh Lương Đình, a graceful riverside pavilion built during the Nguyễn Dynasty. Nestled on the banks of the Perfume River, this historic site was once a ceremonial space where the kings admired the river’s beauty and welcomed the cool breeze from the water. Today, it stands as both a cultural landmark and the official boarding point for your cruise.
The pavilion is conveniently located along Lê Duẩn Street, just a short walk from Phu Văn Lâu and the Imperial Citadel, making it easy to reach by car, taxi, or even on foot from Hue city center. Its traditional tiled roof and open wooden structure facing the river make it a recognizable and photogenic spot to begin your experience.
