People Come to Pay a Visit to the Imperial City of Hue

Located in the center of Vietnam's Hue City, the Imperial City was built in 1362. The Nguyen dynasty made it the capital of Vietnam between 1802 and 1945 after they ruled the country. Though suffering from years of termite and cyclone damage, as well as substantial damage from wars, it still remains very impressive to the world. In 1993, UNESCO recognized it as a World Heritage Site, and the latest and largest restoration project concluded in 2015.

Now people who visit the Imperial City at night can see the activities that former residents did in the past. People replicate the musical shows, shift change rituals of the old imperial guards, and the imperial army's martial arts training. You can even try booking an evening royal banquet, and you'll have the chance to dress up like a Vietnamese royalty member and have a bite of the traditional royal dishes.
