| The Ngo Mon Gate, Vietnam | |
Stamp showing the Ngo Mon Gate, Vietnam
Ngo Mon Gate or Meridian Gate is closely associated with Hue Imperial Citadel, so both expats and Vietnamese locals hold the view that research into this ancient citadel allows further understanding of Hue’s cultures or Vietnamese history. It is widely believed that this gate is such a masterpiece in a number of aspects. Along with Truong Tien Bridge, Stage of Flag, Thien Mu Pagoda, Meridian Gate is considered as the most representative features of Hue City and the Complex of Hue Monuments recognized as a world heritage site by UNESCO.
Ngo Mon Gate, the main southern gate of Hue Citadel, is regarded as the face of the Imperial Wall and feudal dynasty. Ngo Mon Gate was built in King Minh Mang’s Era- the 2nd king of the Nguyen Dynasty.
