Vietnam's Nguyen imperial capital on the Perfume River, its citadel, royal tombs and Thien Mu Pagoda, a World Heritage city.

📍 Destination Overview

Hue sits on the Perfume River in central Vietnam, the capital of the Nguyen dynasty for over 140 years; the royal heritage of Vietnam's last feudal dynasty is a World Heritage Site. The Hue Imperial Citadel, modeled on Beijing's Forbidden City, is majestic, with the Ngo Mon Gate, Thai Hoa Palace and forbidden-city palaces telling of past imperial grandeur. Upstream on the Perfume River lie the tombs of emperors like Khai Dinh and Minh Mang, each with its own style and refined gardens. The seven-story pagoda of Thien Mu Temple stands by the river, a symbol of Hue. Cruising the Perfume River, tasting exquisite royal cuisine and browsing Dong Ba Market, this ancient capital exudes a deep and elegant historical charm.
