Despite changes, the Hue Incense Village remains preserved and developed, with generations passing down the craft from generation to generation. The incense sticks were produced in two basic colors, brown and red, serving the spiritual life of locals and visitors.
Visit the An Dinh Palace, where the Khai Dinh Emperor lived from a child until becoming the twelfth Emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty as a private residence. Between 1917-1919 Nguyen Phuc Vinh Thuy (later Bao Dai Emperor) was renovated in a modern style and became the residence officially.
