The SUP paddling experience from Minh Mang Mausoleum to Thien Mu Pagoda is a wonderful journey for nature lovers and those looking to explore Hue in a unique way. Departing from the area of Minh Mang Mausoleum — the resting place of a Nguyen Dynasty emperor known for its harmonious blend of architecture and nature — you’ll hop on a SUP board and begin your serene ride along the poetic Huong River.

Along the way, you’ll glide past beautiful sights such as Vong Canh Hill and Ngoc Ho Village, soaking in the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere of the ancient capital. As the sun begins to set, golden rays shimmer on the water’s surface, creating a dreamy, poetic scene. The journey ends at Thien Mu Pagoda, one of the oldest and most sacred temples in Hue, where you’ll have time to relax and admire the river’s beauty at dusk.

This is more than just a sporting activity — it’s a soulful journey that brings peace, reflection, and unforgettable moments.
