Discover Bao Vinh China Town
Journey Through Time: Discover Bao Vinh Ancient Town
Step into Hue’s Trading Past
From the 17th to 19th centuries, Bao Vinh Ancient Town was the heart of commerce in the Dang Trong ( as known as The South region). Many Chinese merchants settled here, trading local goods such as salt, rice, fish sauce, and seafood. Merchant ships from Hong Kong, Macau, Japan, India, and even Europe once sailed to this thriving port to exchange goods and culture.
Cyclo Ride to a Bygone Era
Start your day with a leisurely cyclo ride from your hotel to Bao Vinh, just five kilometers from Hue City center. Nestled at the confluence of the Bach Yen and Dong Ba rivers, the town retains a nostalgic charm shaped by French colonial architecture. On arrival, take a short walk through its moss-covered streets and visit a family temple that reflects Hue’s enduring spiritual heritage.
A Glimpse of Local Life
Continue your walk to the local market, a lively place filled with color, aroma, and the rhythm of daily life. From here, board a small ferry across the Perfume River, taking in the tranquil scenery before switching to a bicycle tour through green paddy fields.
Crafting Beauty in Thanh Tien Village
End your journey at Thanh Tien Village, where local artisans teach visitors how to make delicate paper flowers — a symbol of Hue’s grace and creativity passed down through generations.
