Tourist attractions in Hue

Complex of Hue Monuments

The Complex of Hue Monuments is a group of historical and cultural relics commissioned by the Nguyen Dynasty to be built from the beginning of the 19th century to the first half of the 20th century in the area of ancient Hue. They can be divided into clusters of works, including those both inside and outside the Hue Citadel.

Complex of Hue Monuments

Hue Imperial City

The construction of the Imperial City in 1805, under the reign of Emperor Gia Long, was completed in 1832, under the reign of Emperor Minh Mang. The city comprises three sections: the Royal Citadel, the Imperial Enclosure, and the Forbidden Purple City.

  • Royal Citadel Enclosure: the outermost boundary has a perimeter of nearly 10 km, a height of 6.6m, and a thickness of 21m, and is accompanied by cannons. There is a system of moats surrounding the outside of the citadel. There are 10 main gates to enter the citadel.
  • Imperial Enclosure (Hoàng Thành): the second rampart that protects the most important palaces of the court, the shrines that worship the ancestors of the Nguyen Dynasty, and the Forbidden Purple City – a place dedicated to the Emperor and his family members. It’s accessible through four gates: Ngọ Môn to the south, Hòa Bình to the north, Hiển Nhơn to the east, and Chương Đức to the east. 
  • Forbidden Purple City (Tử Cấm Thành): the third and innermost fort of the royal complex has a perimeter of 1,225m and is accessible through seven gates. It was formerly reserved for the private use of the kings and their families, as well as the numerous concubines. The Forbidden Purple City is almost isolated from the outside world.

Located within the three ramparts and deep moats is a large cluster of smaller structures built along the main axis running from south to north. The first structure is Kỳ Đài, followed by Ngọ Môn Gate, Đại Triều Nghi Yard, Thái Hòa Palace, Khôn Thái Palace, Kiến Trung Palace, and Hòa Bình Gate.

  • Kỳ Đài (Flag Tower): located in front of the Citadel, Kỳ Đài is one of the monuments in the Hue monument complex. It was constructed in 1807 under Emperor Gia Long’s reign. Kỳ Đài is not only the central location of Huế City but also is a symbol of the city.
  • Ngọ Môn Gate: the largest of the four main gates of the Imperial Citadel of Huế, which is 58 m long, 27.5m wide, 17m high, and serves as the main entrance to the Imperial City. Ngọ Môn comprises five gates, with the central gate being reserved for the kings only.
  • Nine Dynastic Urns: were cast between 1835 and 1837 under the Emperor Minh Mạng. The heaviest urn is about 2.600 kg, and the lightest urn is about 1.930 kg in weight. Each urn is dedicated to a particular emperor.  In general, the Nine Urns share similar shapes; however, they vary in types and decorative patterns that signify the sun, the moon, clouds, mountains, rivers, and scenes from everyday life.
  • Thái Hòa Palace (The Palace of Supreme Harmony): built in 1805 according to 19th-century architectural design, the Palace is composed of two buildings: the anterior palace and the main palace, which join together. This is the location of the golden throne and is used for important court ceremonies. 
  • Thế Miếu (Dynastic Temple)  was built in 2 years (1821-1822), initially to worship Emperor Gia Long, but later became a place to worship the kings and members of the Nguyễn Dynasty.
  • Hiển Lâm Các (Pavilion of Splendor): was built in 1821 and completed in 1822, under Emperor Minh Mạng. This is the most unique work, which was made entirely of wood. Hiển Lâm is considered a memorial to the contributions of members of the Nguyễn Dynasty.
  • Cung Thất (Royal Residence): was reserved for the private use of kings and their families, including several palaces: Cần Chánh Palace (King’s residence), Khôn Thái Palace (Queen’s residence), Diên Thọ Palace (King’s mother’s residence), and Trường Sanh Palace (King’s paternal grandmother’s residence). Unfortunately, most of the palaces were destroyed in the wars, except the Diên Thọ and Trường Sanh Palaces.

Quoc Tu Giam (Imperial Academy)

Quốc Tử Giám (Imperial Academy)The Imperial Academy in the old capital city Hue was the first national academy built under the Nguyen Dynasty. After the unification of Vietnam, Emperor Gia Long decided to move the capital from Hanoi to Hue. In 1803, he built a new academy in the An Ninh Thuong area of Huong Tra district, about 5 km west of Hue Citadel, next to Van Mieu.

The first academy was a small block of buildings, called Doc Hoc Duong. In March 1820, Emperor Minh Mang renamed it Quoc Tu Giam. Students were not only descendants of the royal family or mandarins but also commoners.

In 1908, during the reign of Emperor Duy Tân, the academy was moved to its present location – No 1, Hai Mươi Ba Tháng Tám Street, Phu Xuan Ward, Hue City.

Royal Tombs

The Nguyen Dynasty had 13 emperors, but due to economic and political reasons, only 7 tombs were built, all of which remain today, each with its own architectural style. These tombs were built when the emperors were still in power, so this is not a sad burial place but has a charming landscape with unique architecture.

Minh Mang Tomb
Minh Mang Tomb
  • Gia Long Tomb, also known as Thien Tho Mausoleum, is located in Kim Long Ward, some 20 kilometers (12 mi) south of the city of Hue, and construction began in 1814 and was completed in 1820. The entire mausoleum is a group of mountains with 42 hills and mountains, large and small, of which Dai Thien Tho is the largest mountain chosen as the tombs for Emperor Gia Long’s first wife, Empress Thua Thien, after her death in 1814, but later became Gia Long’s and some of his family members’ burial site.
  • Minh Mang Tomb, also known as Hieu Tomb, was built by Emperor Thieu Tri from 1840 to 1843 and is located in an enclosed hilly area of about 20 ha in Cam Ke Mountain, Huong Tho Commune, 12 km from the center of Hue.
  • Thieu Tri Tomb, also known as Xuong Lang, is located in Cu Chanh village, Thuy Bang Commune, Hue City. Built by Emperor Tu Duc in 1847 to bury his father (Emperor Thieu Tri), this is the only mausoleum facing the Northwest, a direction rarely used in the architecture of Nguyen Dynasty palaces and tombs.
  • Tomb of Tu Duc was built by Emperor Tu Duc himself while still in reign. It is a complex of architectural works, including the burial place of Emperor Tu Duc located in a narrow valley in Thuong Ba village, Thuy Xuan ward, Hue city. At first, the mausoleum was named Van Nien Co; later, he renamed it Khiem Cung. After Tu Duc died, the mausoleum was renamed Khiem Lang. The mausoleum features sophisticated architecture and a charming landscape, and is one of the most beautiful mausoleums of the Nguyen kings.
  • Dong Khanh Tomb, also known as Tu Lang, is located in Thuong Hai village, Thuy Xuan Ward, Hue City. Formerly, this was Truy Tư Palace built by Dong Khanh to worship his father. However, Dong Khanh got sick and suddenly died. Emperor Thanh Thai (1889-1907) succeeded. The country was facing many difficulties and economic exhaustion, so he could not build a regular mausoleum for his predecessor; he had to change the Truy Tư Palace to Ngưng Hy to worship Emperor Dong Khanh.
  • Duc Duc Tomb, also known as An Lang, is located in An Cuu Ward, Hue City, less than 2 km from the city center; it is the burial place of Emperor Duc Duc, Thanh Thai, and Duy Tan. Duc Duc ascended the throne in 1883 at 3 days old; he was deposed and died. Later, his son, Emperor Thanh Thai (who ascended the throne in 1889), built a mausoleum to worship his father and named it An Lang. In 1954, when Emperor Thanh Thai died, his body was brought back to be buried at the present location in the An Lang area and to be worshiped at the Long An temple. In 1987, Emperor Duy Tan’s remains were returned for burial next to Thanh Thai’s mausoleum.
  • Khai Dinh Tomb, also known as Ung Lang, is located on the slopes of Chau Chu mountain (also known as Chau E) outside the imperial city of Hue and is the tomb of Khai Dinh, the 12th king of the Nguyen Dynasty. The mausoleum was built in 1920 right after Khai Dinh ascended the throne. Regarding the architecture of Khai Dinh Tomb, later generations often set it apart from the traditional architecture of the Nguyen Dynasty because of its unusual blend of East-West Kim Co architecture and unique porcelain mosaic artworks.
