Huế, Imperial city in central Vietnam.
The Huong River divides this urban center, with its extensive citadel complex situated on the north bank surrounded by stone fortifications.
The Nguyen Dynasty established their capital here in 1802, constructing a network of palaces, temples, and administrative buildings within the citadel walls.
The National School of Music and Dance preserves traditional Vietnamese performing arts through regular concerts and educational programs for local students.
Visitors can explore the Imperial Enclosure daily from 8 AM to 5:30 PM, with electric car services available for transportation between royal tomb sites.
The seven-story Thien Mu Pagoda contains the car that transported monk Thich Quang Duc to his self-immolation protest in Saigon in 1963.
