Thread: Legend of Old Royal City

Legend of Old Royal City
Hue served as capital under the emperors of the Nguyen Dynasty from 1802 to 1945 and the city’s regal past can still be seen inside the walls of the Citadel and the Imperial City. Both were heavily damaged during the Tet Offensive of 1968 when the Communists took the city from the South and held it for 3 weeks. Now thanks to UNESCO funding, much of the City is being faithfully restored to its former glory. The Imperial City, created in the 19th century and modeled on the Forbidden City in Beijing, has many palaces and temples inside. As Vietnam’s last feudal capital, the small and quiet city of Hue is widely known for magnificent architectures, pagodas and royal tombs laid in many small villages and surrounding hills.

The old capital city was Nanjing. Once the forbidden city was completed after 14 years of labor, the capital was moved. They did not move to Beijing until the forbidden city was completed.

I'm proud to say that I was one of the visitors to Hue. That was a different experience. When I saw some ruins I asked my local friend thinking that was made by the US army but he told me something different from that. Great place.
