The sun leans low over the Han as you step into a three-wheeled rickshaw and the river seems to pull the city along with it. Narrow streets unfold into the broad Bach Dang riverfront; vendors call, steam rises from noodle pots, and the Dragon Bridge arcs across water that has carried traders and soldiers for centuries.

Conservation
