HISTORY & HERITAGE
Architectural beauty left behind by the last dynasty
Registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993
Hue, an ancient capital in central Vietnam, was the capital of the Nguyen Dynasty, the last dynasty that lasted from 1802 to 1945. Inside the castle wall built along the Xiangjiang River, there was a royal palace where the emperor conducted government affairs and ceremonies, and a living space for the imperial family, and it developed as a center of politics, culture, and religion. The main gate of the Royal Palace, the Meridian Gate, is an impressive building with a multi-layered roof. Harmony with the surrounding mountains and rivers was considered important in the layout of buildings, and the imperial mausoleums of successive emperors were also built outside the capital. Although some buildings were lost due to wars and other causes, restoration and preservation efforts are underway. In 1993, the Hue Monuments, including the Royal Palace and the Imperial Mausoleum, were registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. By visiting the imperial mausoleum, which has a different style from the royal palace, you can experience the aesthetic sense and history of the dynasty.

The food culture of the ancient capital of Hue is alive with the beauty of presentation that was refined in the royal court and the simple flavors that were loved by the common people. The signature Bun Bo Hue is rice noodles with beef flavored with lemongrass. Banh Nam is made by combining rice flour batter with shrimp and pork, wrapping it in banana leaves and steaming it, and it has a soft texture. Aromatically grilled banh koai is a small okonomiyaki-style dish that wraps shrimp, meat, and vegetables. Nem Rui, a skewer of minced pork, is enjoyed wrapped in rice paper with herbs and served with sauce. Part of the fun of visiting Hue is tasting the different colors, aromas, and textures. After the morning's sightseeing, take a break with a local cuisine lunch. In the afternoon, enjoy your free time as you like, such as walking around town or visiting a cafe.
