| Old architecture of Hue | |
Hue used to be the Capital of the Nguyen dynasty, the last royal monarchy in the history of Vietnam. Although the city had undergone great sufferings in the period of modern time, it still maintains a quite original face of an ancient oriental town, the most visible aspect of which is the complex of royal constructions and traditional monuments built in romantic natural landscapes. The architecture of the Ancient Capital of Hue reflects deeply Vietnamese traditional soul. In 1993, the complex of Hue monuments was included in UNESCO list of World Cultural Heritage. Since then, Hue - a cultural and tourist center of Vietnam - has become much more attractive to not only domestic and international visitors but also historians, architects and cultural researchers. |
