Overnight in Hue.
After breakfast, travel north to Our Lady of La Vang, the most important Marian pilgrimage center in Vietnam. Spend time exploring the shrine, attending Mass if available, and enjoying personal prayer and reflection in this sacred place of devotion.
Return to Hue for lunch before continuing to Thien An Monastery, a peaceful Benedictine monastery nestled among pine-covered hills on the outskirts of the city. Surrounded by nature, the monastery offers a tranquil atmosphere ideal for reflection and spiritual renewal.
Later, visit the Hue Imperial Citadel, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the former political and cultural center of the Nguyen Dynasty. Located on the northern bank of the Perfume River, this vast complex includes the Imperial City and the Forbidden Purple City, offering a fascinating glimpse into Vietnam’s royal past through its palaces, gates, temples, and ancient walls.

After breakfast, depart Hue and journey south toward Da Nang via the Hai Van Pass, one of Vietnam’s most scenic coastal routes.
En route, visit the Nuoc Ngot Orphanage Centre, where local sisters lovingly care for disabled and underprivileged children. This meaningful encounter offers insight into the spirit of compassion and service found within the local Catholic community.
Continue to Da Nang Cathedral, affectionately known as the “Rooster Cathedral,” one of the city’s most recognizable Catholic landmarks.
