Huong River Hue (Perfume River)


If anyone asks as to why a river becomes a sightseeing object, just answer that person that it's not a river but "a silver sword upright to the sky" which makes this one of the tourist attractions in Hue.
Huong River (Perfume River), Hue derives from Truong Son Mountain. The two springs namely Ta Trach (Left Tributary) and Huu Trach (Right Tributary) meet at the junction of Bang Lang fork and create the Perfume River. Perfume River is truly a priceless godsend to Hue City.
