Walk into the Imperial Citadel and the recently reconstructed Palace of Supreme Harmony.

Just outside the city, you’ll see Hue’s most famous symbol, the tower of the Heavenly Lady Pagoda, a seven-tiered tower overlooking a bend in the tranquil Perfume River. There, you’ll see monks tend to a small garden of bonsai trees, or chant incantations.
