Sailing down the river
Perfume River ( or Hương Giang in Vietnamese) has its source in the Annamite Mountains, and is formed by tributaries of the Ta Trach and Huu Trach Rivers. Its route is nearly 30 kilometers long and moves very slowly because it is almost entirely at sea level.
The Perfume River gets its name from the fact that it passes through many fields and catches the smell of all the wildflowers. A popular legend says that the colors of the river range from white to green and resemble a silver sword drawn in the sky.
We took a ferry to go see some temples and besides being a beautiful experience, was also educational.
