Hue is the capital city of Thua Thien-Hue province.
Between 1802 and 1945, it was the imperial capital of the Nguyen dynasty. It is well known for its monuments and architecture.
Hue is one place which has many cultural heritages. Up until now, there is no place like Hue-- retaining a lot of original historical vestiges, as in this ancient Capital City.
On the Northern bank of the Perfume River there are relics consisting of palaces, which were constructed as arc defensive ramparts with 11km length. This valuable construction includes more than 100 architectural works, which were extremely reflective of the lives of Emperors and mandarins under Nguyen’ reign.
Situated in the middle of hills on the Southern bank of Perfume River are very beautiful tombs of Nguyen Kings. Among these tombs are the four famous ones with the name and the arrangements of the tomb reflected of each Emperor’s points of view, personality, and tastes. This is majestic Gia Long tomb, imposing Minh Mang tomb, poetic Tu Duc tomb and magnificent Khai Dinh tomb.
Hue is also an important center of Buddhism. In Hue and its surroundings still exist tens of pagodas constructed more 300 years ago, and a hundred of temples and pagodas built in the early century.
Besidesthis, Hue is a place where the royal music is originated by Vietnam tours, and a place with traditional famous dishes and sophisticated handicraft.
