The capital of
Vietnam during the decadent 19th-century Nguyen
Dynasty, Hue is still an important literary and
cultural center. The city was dramatically
affected during both wars with the French in the
1940s and later with the Americans in the 1960s
and '70s: Most of the structures in the
centuries-old citadel were severely damaged.
Some of those royal buildings have been repaired
and rebuilt, including the Forbidden Purple
City, the emperor's private residence. The city
is bisected by the Song Huong, or Perfume River
(named after a scented shrub that grows there),
and along its banks south of Hue lie the many
tombs of the Nguyen emperors. You can visit them
by bicycle or boat. We recommend having your
hotel arrange a longboat for you... .>>>
