What Is Hue’s Imperial City and Why Is It Special?
Center of Vietnam's Last Feudal Dynasty
Located in central Vietnam, Hue was the brain and face of the country during the Nguyen Dynasty (1802–1945) for 143 years. The centre of politics and culture was and still is a representation of Vietnam's UNESCO heritage.
Vietnam had its own feudal capital, just like China or Japan. This was where the King and the royal family lived and ran the whole country.

The Unique Architecture of Hue's Imperial City
A Blend of Eastern and Western Styles
The Imperial City embraces both Eastern and Western architecture. The three boundaries of walls, and the wooden buildings with tiled roofs in the style of eastern charm. The interior use of red and gold colors clearly shows classic Vietnamese styles.
You will see French Vauban-style architecture in Hue, with high walls and deep moats, but the outer defensive wall is in a star-shaped pattern. The combination of finesse from Eastern artistry and, strength of Western military architecture made the historic sites of Hue so unique.

Planning a journey between two of Central Vietnam’s cultural gems? The best way to travel from Da Nang to Hue depends on your preferences — whether you’re seeking a scenic drive over the Hai Van Pass, a comfortable train ride, or a private guided transfer with photo stops along the way.
Glimpse into Royal Life in the Imperial City
Every building and every object in the Imperial City has a story associated with royal living. I was amazed to see it was a wooden throne, and not a golden throne. This reflects the struggles of Emperor Gia Long to take claim to the crown, and symbolizes the hard-won victory.
When walking around the palaces of the queens, concubines, or the royal theater, I could wrap my head around the life of luxury of these royals. It was wonderful to peek into the hue of feudal history.
