About Hue

Hue, the old imperial capital of Vietnam, lines the Perfume River with a walled citadel, royal tombs and pagodas set among gardens and hills.

The Imperial City, inside the vast moated Citadel, was the seat of the Nguyen dynasty, Vietnam's last emperors. Its gates, palaces and temples, including the Noon Gate and the Hall of Supreme Harmony, form part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, partly restored after heavy damage during the war.
