Imperial City

प्रकाशित: 04.04.2019

Another 'Must See' on the list of all Vietnam travelers is Hue, the former capital of the Vietnamese Empire during the Nguyen Dynasty.

The 13 emperors, who ruled for over 150 years, created an imperial city within the city of Hue, protected by a fortress wall, where they lived in imperial splendor.



Many of the buildings were destroyed during the Vietnam War, but luckily much has been restored, allowing visitors to glimpse the original magnificence. It is a huge and beautiful complex with temples, gardens, theaters, throne halls, and more.


On the second day, we visited the imperial tombs. We rode our mopeds to two of the nine tombs, which are located outside the city. Here again, we could see the imperial grandeur. The tomb of Khai Dinh, the penultimate emperor (died in 1925), is situated on a hill.


We particularly liked the elaborate decorations with ceramics and glass. They adorn the entire main building.

The tomb of the second emperor Minh Mang is not as ornate, but it is beautifully located in a forest and surrounded by lakes.
Afterwards, we went to the Thien Mu Pagoda and then called it a day. The heat made everything quite exhausting.
Today, we had a more relaxed program. A little bike ride through rice fields, along canals.



Our destination was the nearly 300-year-old Thanh Toan Bridge and the Agricultural Museum.
And of course, every evening in Hue, we enjoyed local delicacies.

As you can see, we are doing well. Tomorrow, we have another bus ride ahead of us, and our next destination is Phong Nha National Park.
