Thanks Chateau :tup:

So I'm going back to my dragon boats (far fetched I know)
Hue Dragon Boats
Vietnam - Hoi An - Hanoi - Ho Chi Minh City - Hue
Hue, the imperial city complex famed being the capital of the Nguyen dynasty of Vietnam attracts a great number of tourists every year. Lying on the coastal region of Vietnam, as well as being almost bisected by the Perfume River, and having a great number of canals in the city, water transportation in Hue is one of the most popular means of traveling. And, the Hue Dragon Boats are a wonderfully exciting way to travel in Hue, while on an excursion to see the monuments and historical sites.
Hue Dragon Boats are long-tailed and colorful boats, mostly shaped like dragons, which travel on the Perfume River. A great part of Hue's appeal lies in its river life, with its many houseboats, sampans, and these awesome Dragon Boats. Hue Dragon Boats are perhaps the best way to see Hue, especially since one can enjoy not only the visits of the historical sights, but also get to be a part of Hue's daily life on the waters of the River, as one passes these sampans on their way to the markets and back.
A trip down the Perfume River on the Hue Dragon Boats takes you to visit the most famous tourist attractions in Hue, and include Linh Mu (Thien Mu) pagoda, Hon Chen Temple, Tu Duc Tomb, Minh Mang Tomb and Khai Dinh Tomb. Many other sights in the nearby environs of Hue, like Thuan An Beach, and several of the Royal Tombs, can be reached by the Dragon Boats on the River.
Hue Dragon Boats stop at each of these places for about half-an-hour, allowing the passengers to get down and visit the temples, and tombs. Once on the bank, one can hire motorbike taxis to get to the actual place.
Hue Dragon Boats can be hired for 25,000 VND for an all-day cruise, which starts at 8-00 am, and finishes by around 3-00 pm. The cost includes pick-up from the hotels, lunch, and drinks. However, entrance fees for the various sights are not included.
