Hue imperial palace and Royal Tombs in Vietnam


Hue is a city in central Vietnam that was the seat of Nguyen Dynasty emperors and the national capital from 1802 to 1945. A major attraction is its vast, 19th century Dai Noi Citadel, surrounded by a moat and thick stone walls. It encompasses the Imperial City, with palaces and shrines, the Forbidden Purple City (Tu cam thanh), once the emperors home, and a replica of the Royal Theater.
