Trường Tiền Bridge
Trường Tiền Bridge crosses the Hương River in the centre of Huế. From the riverbank, make the repeated metal arches the main subject and keep a strip of water below them.
Search Google MapsThanh Toàn Covered Bridge
The wooden Thanh Toàn Bridge has a tiled roof above its walkway. Photograph it from the side near the water to show the roof, bridge and canal together in one frame.

The dark red Quốc Học school stands on Lê Lợi Street behind a bell-shaped gate. Photograph the gate from the public street or square and keep the school buildings in the background.
Search Google MapsTịnh Tâm Lake
Tịnh Tâm Lake is associated with Huế’s lotus-growing tradition. From the edge, frame the water and lotus leaves together. Flowers are seasonal, so the scene changes throughout the year.
Search Google MapsVọng Cảnh Hill
Vọng Cảnh Hill overlooks a bend in the Hương River amid pine-covered slopes. Use the trees to frame the river below and leave room in the distance for the surrounding hills.
Search Google MapsThủy Xuân Incense Village
Colourful bundles of incense sticks fan out beside Huyền Trân Công Chúa Street in Thủy Xuân. Isolate one display for its radiating lines and ask the maker before photographing a stall closely.

Search Google MapsNgọ Môn Gate
