 Minh
Mang Emperor ruled from 1820 to 1840 and was
responsible for some of the major construction
upon the Imperial City. It was also the actions
of Minh Mang towards the Catholic missionaries
which first brought French military power to
bear on Vietnam. The ground of his tomb are
large and peaceful, and his actual bomb oversees
the Lake of Tranquillity. The first entrance is
guarded by a life size stone entourage of
soldiers, horses and elephants, and opens to a
courtyard containing three temples. Past the
temples, you will cross Trung Minh Ho (The Lake
of Impeccable Clarity) which is bridged in three
places. The central bridge was for the sole use
of the Emperor whilst the other two were for his
entourage. Beyond the pond there is Sung An
Temple that Minh Mang dedicated to his Empress.
Following this temple you need to cross another
bridge before reaching his tomb that is a huge
walled-in dirt mound, which you cannot enter. To
give Minh Mang peace of mind whilst ruling, all
his servants were eunuchs.

Bun
bo (Beef noodle soup) at the very far end of the
alleyway which makes for the local market.Like
most of the stallholders here, she sets her
table up in front of her opened house. In this
case that's next to the Banh khot seller . .. 
It
is the first intangible heritage of Vietnam to
be recognized by UNESCO.
Sweep
through Hue and the classic grace of women clad
in ao dai will surely to make a lasting
impression on you. But behind the beauty is a
rich history, brimming with cultural
significance.
When
Hue natives living outside the city return to
their homeland, they usually have sour shrimp.
Tourists also make sure to buy some jars of sour
shrimp before leaving Hue.Because of the
national reputation of this dish, some cooks and
merchants specialize in making sour shrimp...
No
one in the village Tay Ho (Hue) knows when the
hat making began but everybody feels grateful to
the job that feeds the whole village through ups
and downs of history.
Unlike
the painting genres of Dong Ho in Bac Ninh
Province and Hang Trong in Hanoi, the paintings
of Sinh Village in Huong Tra Dist, Thua Thien
Hue Province, are very simple with plain glyphs
and traditional colours, reflecting people’s
innermost feelings, wishes and simple dreams.
