The central city of Hue was the capital of Vietnam for nearly four centuries (1558-1945), lasting from the Nguyen Lords through Tay Son Dynasty, and finally 13 reigns of Nguyen Dynasty. Hue Imperial Citadel still preserves both tangible and intangible cultural heritages which represent the quintessence of Vietnam that was refined and gathered in Hue through different monarchies. In addition, Hue is blessed with the natural, romantic and beautiful Huong River (Perfume River), making the central city an attractive destination for Vietnamese culture enthusiasts. VNA Photo
