Hue is located in central Vietnam. Complex of Hue Monuments lies along the Perfume River in Hue City . The main enceinte, the Capital City, is square in plan, each side measuring 2,235 m. The Imperial City is surrounded by 4 walls with about 600m long each and 4 gates, one of which is Ngo Mon (Noon Gate), considered the symbol of the Citadel.
That architectural system consists of Kinh Thanh (Capital Citadel), Hoang Thanh (Royal Citadel) and Tu Cam Thanh (Forbidden Citadel). Hoang Thanh wasbuilt in 1804 but until the reign of Minh Mang it wasfinished with more than 100 projects: Therefore, when talking about Hue, people often mention and think of the golden palace, the splendid temples, magnificent tombs, or poetic natural landscapes, etc.
For approximately 400 years, Hue has become a great landscape and architectural site. Thanks to the long precious history, Hue has integrated material and spiritual values, which become its own unique special culture. Hue royal complex has been officially recognized by the UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Once again, in 2003 Nha Nhac, Vietnames Court Music was recognized as World Heritage by UNESCO.
Should you ever come inside the citadel, taking a look into the special feudal relics of immense architectural and cultural values, you will surely more or less love the traditional and classical side of Vietnam.
