Where Love Meets Heritage
At twilight, the Perfume River (Sông Hương) becomes more than just a waterway—it transforms into an open-air canvas. As the sunset paints the sky above the Ancient Citadel in shades of rose and gold, your Dragon Boat gently cuts through the calm waters. You leave behind the bustle of the city, stepping into a world bathed in candlelight, soft music, and serene intimacy.
The seamless blend of imperial elegance—reflected in the traditional dragon boat design—and understated modern romance creates an atmosphere that feels both regal and deeply personal.

| Introduction & Description | |
| 17:45 |
You arrive at Toa Kham Wharf (49 Le Loi Street), right by the gentle curves of the Perfume River. It’s quiet, breezy, and you already feel like you’re stepping into another rhythm. |
| 18:00 | Warm welcome at Toa Kham Dragon Boat Station. Escort to your private, decorated table on board. |
| 18:30 |
Dinner time! You’ll be served a set menu with local Hue flavors, pre-selected for your group. Think traditional dishes, warm rice, rich broths, and delicate seasoning. Comfort food, but with history behind it.
|
| 19:00 | While you enjoy your meal, live ca Huế music begins. Soft vocals, traditional instruments, and stories wrapped in melody. It’s not a concert—it’s more like the river singing to you through people. You’re also invited to float a candle-lit flower lantern, for free. Make a wish, if you believe in that sort of thing. Or even if you don’t. |
| 20:00 | The boat gently makes its way back to Toa Kham Wharf. You step off feeling lighter somehow, like you’ve just wandered through a dream. Until next time. |
