A short history note
The history a traveler can use is the building: citadels, the Temple of Literature, Hue, and the Cham towers.

Four names on the signs
Signs on these buildings name the Ly, Tran, Le, and Nguyen courts. The citadel in Hanoi is the enclosure later kings kept. The Temple of Literature opened in 1070. Hoa Lu, in Ninh Binh, is the capital from before the move to Hanoi. Hue is the Nguyen capital.
My Son is Cham, older than that court and a different people. Po Nagar in Nha Trang is the other tower stop. The sculpture museum is in Da Nang.
What this note is not
A war museum is its own morning. The War Remnants Museum and the Reunification Palace in Ho Chi Minh City, and Hoa Lo in Hanoi, are not this walk. Read the sight page for hours and the fee.
Questions
- Where do I start?
The citadel and the Temple of Literature in Hanoi, or Hue if that city is the base.
- Does this cover the war museums?
No. Those are separate sight pages, with their own hours.
