Travel Guide To Hue, Vietnam

by Maureen Yuene

Are you looking for a nice location for your <a href="http://www.puretravel.com/Guide/Asia/South-East_Asia/vietnam">Vietnam holidays</a>? Hue was unified Vietnam's capital from 1802 to 1945, during the rule of the emperors of the Nguyen Dynasty. It was not only the political but also the cultural and religious centre. The imperial citadel used to be comparable to Beijing's Forbidden City, but most of it was destroyed during the bloody fighting which followed the Tet offensive in 1968. It is still an interesting sight, as a increasing number of buildings are being restored.

<b>Tomb of Khai Dinh</b>: Breathtaking in its ornate glass and porcelain opulence, this emperor's tomb is one of the area's most flamboyant attractions. Emperor Khai Dinh (1885-1925) ruled Vietnam for 9 years. His tomb took 11 years to complete. Construction began in 1920 and was completed in 1931.
