Huế, Provincial capital in central Vietnam.
The city sits on the banks of the Perfume River, surrounded by mountains and rice fields that extend throughout the Thừa Thiên Huế province.
The Nguyen Dynasty established Huế as Vietnam's imperial capital in 1802, constructing the Imperial City complex with its palaces, temples, and defensive walls.
The Imperial Academy within the citadel maintained educational traditions, training scholars in Confucian principles and Vietnamese literature for government service.
Visitors can reach Huế through Phu Bai International Airport, located 15 kilometers south of the city center, with regular connections to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
The tombs of seven Nguyen emperors spread across the countryside, each incorporating precise feng shui principles in their architectural design.
