Hue

Hue Imperial City (Hue Citadel) is a political, cultural, and religious center that displays its history through historical relics, pagodas, and palaces. Many heritage sites in Hue have been designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Hue Imperial Citadel, Hue Temple of Literature, Century Old High School (Quoc Hoc Hue), Tu Duc Tomb, Dong Ba Market, Thien Mu Pagoda, and Minh Mang Tomb are just a few of the prominent attractions you should see while in Hue Citadel.

More than 100 architectural works are included in the priceless palace construction, which portrays the lives of Emperors and mandarins during Nguyen's reign. There are four well-known graves, each with a name and layout that reflect the Emperor's point of view, personality, and tastes. The magnificent Gia Long Tomb, the massive Minh Mang Tomb, the poetic Tu Duc Tomb, and the exquisite Khai Dinh Tomb are all located here.

Hue Imperial City is one of Vietnam's most important cultural, religious, and educational centers. The poetically named Huong River or Perfume River, which runs for 11 kilometers through city, is home to many of the Hue attractions. Hue Imperial City has several festivals, which are separated into two types: royal festivals and folk festivals, as a result of its long and rich history. Because UNESCO designated Royal Refined Music as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity, it is popular with both domestic and international tourists.

Hue Imperial City is also a Buddhist center, with many pagodas dating back over 300 years and a hundred temples and pagodas dating back to the early twentieth century, including Thien Mu pagoda, Tu Hieu Pagoda, Bao Quoc Pagoda, Huyen Khong Pagoda, and others. And it has an impact on Hue cuisine, with one of the most noticeable contrasts being the city's strong vegetarianism. Several all-vegetarian eateries can be found throughout the city, catering to the people who follow a strict Buddhist tradition of eating vegetarian twice a month.
