Introduce
Hue, once the feudal and imperial capital of Vietnam, served as the political and cultural heart of the country under the Nguyen Dynasty — the last royal dynasty in Vietnamese history, which ruled from 1802 to 1945. Nestled along the serene banks of the Perfume River in central Vietnam, Hue is home to the storied Purple City, the royal core of the Imperial Citadel.
The Complex of Hue Monuments, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, preserves the legacy of this imperial era. Within its massive stone walls lie the palaces that once housed the Nguyen emperors and their families, along with ornate shrines, tranquil gardens, and elegant villas for mandarins, concubines, and eunuchs. Spanning the reign of 13 Nguyen kings, from Gia Long to Bao Dai, this complex offers a vivid glimpse into Vietnam’s regal past and its unique blend of Confucian, Buddhist, and local cultural traditions.
