INTRODUCTION

Hue is culturally and historically significant. It was once Vietnam's Imperial City and later the country's capital under the Nguyen dynasty (1802-1945). Hue’s architectural treasures and vestiges have earned the city international recognition as Vietnam’s first UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site, a status granted in 1993.
