Prepare for serious palace vibes—Chinese architecture, shimmering ponds, and tree-lined walks set the scene for an epic outdoor cultural adventure.

Top Spots to Visit:
1. Đại Nội (FH9H+9CP, Phú Hậu, Tp. Huế)
Open 08:00-17:00, this is Hue's grand Imperial City—walk the mighty walls and gaze at ornate gates and ancient relics under the warm sun. If you're staying at a homestay inside the campus (highly recommended!), you’ll save loads on travel time and nab easy morning access.
2. Kiến Trung Palace (32 Đặng Thái Thân, Phú Hậu)
Open 07:30-17:30, with close-up building views and peaceful gardens. Snap pics by the ponds and get that iconic “Chinese architecture + blue skies” aesthetic.
3. Thai Hoa Palace (Imperial City, Hue)
Open 06:30-17:00, a must for royal throne room feels and epic activity shots in front of gorgeous lacquerwork.

Personal Tip: Slip into a “Nhat Binh” dress before exploring—it’s Hue’s traditional garb and genuinely transforms your palace wanderings into a top-tier experience. You’ll blend right in with the scenic heritage and score unique photos!

Travel Tips:
Getting around Hue’s Phu Hau area is easiest on foot, especially if you book a homestay inside or near the Imperial City (look for campus listings on trip.com for direct access). Pack a hat—it gets sunny fast! For snacks and drinks, local food stalls around the gates serve cheap eats and iced tea to refuel. No visa required for many nationalities, but double-check before booking.

Hue, Vietnam | Thieu Phuong Garden: A Retreat of Imperial Gardens, Lush Flowers and Trees

Amid the majestic palaces of Hue's Imperial City, Thieu Phuong Garden (Thượng Phương Viên) stands as a uniquely poetic site. Once a haven for the Nguyen Dynasty emperors and their concubines, this garden offered a tranquil and gentle contrast to the imposing grandeur of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The garden boasts lush flowers and trees, clear ponds, and is interspersed with stone bridges, rockery, and pavilions. Strolling through it, one can imagine the emperors of yesteryear, accompanied by scholars, enjoying a moment of leisure, discussing poetry and drinking. Every ancient tree and stone path seems to evoke the spirit of time.

Though less prosperous today than it once was, Thieu Phuong Garden still exudes the charm of a classical garden. When the spring flowers bloom, the garden bursts with vibrant colors, and the sound of birdsong blends with the gentle breeze, creating a poetic experience.

Hue, Vietnam | The Hall of Supreme Harmony: An Imperial Palace Illuminated by Golden Dragons, the Centerpiece of the Nguyen Dynasty's Prosperity

Entering the central axis of Hue's Imperial City, the most central and majestic building is the Hall of Supreme Harmony (Thái Hòa Điện). This was once the venue for the Nguyen Dynasty emperors to hold court meetings, receive coronations, and receive envoys. It was also the highest hall symbolizing the dynasty's majesty and prosperity.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony boasts a magnificent exterior, with a roof clad in golden glazed tiles and eaves adorned with coiled dragons, symbolizing the emperor's supreme authority. The towering steps and vermilion gates add to the building's grandeur. Entering the hall through the stone steps, a sense of solemnity washes over you.

Inside the hall, a forest of golden pillars stands, each adorned with a lifelike golden dragon, seemingly hovering and guarding the palace. In the past, the throne sat in the center, with the emperor seated, flanked by his courtiers, creating a scene of solemnity and splendor. Although there are no imperial court ceremonies today, the carvings and layouts left behind still make people feel as if they can hear the sounds of drums and imperial edicts from deep in history.
