The Huong River is not only a beautiful waterway but also a cultural, historical, and spiritual symbol of Hue. One special feature of the river is that its water remains clear all year round, unlike many other rivers in Central Vietnam which carry a lot of alluvium. This helps the river maintain its pure and gentle beauty.

Paddling a SUP on the Huong River from Thien Mu Pagoda to the Lim Wooden Bridge is a poetic journey that gently glides you over the calm waters through the heart of the ancient capital. Starting from the sacred and time-honored pagoda - an iconic symbol of Hue - you’ll drift through picturesque scenery, flanked by lush greenery, peaceful villages, and quiet riverbanks.
