If you are looking for a place to "touch" history and immerse yourself in the ancient space, then Hue Imperial City is definitely a stop not to be missed when coming to the ancient capital. I just had the opportunity to visit here and was really attracted by the grandeur but still very quiet, making every step feel like being lost in the golden past of the Nguyen Dynasty. Hue Imperial City is a cluster of relics including the Imperial City (where the king held court and worked) and the Forbidden Purple City (where the king and the royal family lived). The Imperial City includes Ngo Mon Gate, Thai Hoa Palace. The Forbidden Purple City is an area reserved for the king and the royal family, including Dai Cung Mon, Ta Vu and Huu Vu, Can Chanh Palace, Thai Binh Lau, Dien Tho Palace... You should go early to avoid the harsh sunlight and have more time to visit because the Imperial City is quite large and easy to get lost. The weather in April when I went, Hue was quite hot, the sun was scary but the photos were beautiful. June-August will probably be even hotter. If you want to see Hue poetic and sad, you can go in September-October. Late autumn will have less rain and the scenery will be more somber, suitable for the gentle ancient architecture in Hue 😍 #awesomepic #vietnam #travel #vietnamtravel #couplestrip #deliciousfood

Get to Hue by train is very enjoyable trip, the train will take you through Hai Van pass, run by the ocean and let you slowly enjoy the view. They will make one stop in Lang Co Bay and you are allowed to get out, have a look at the view and buy some snacks called “bánh bột lọc” (the 5th picture). It’s really good. By night, you can enjoy the live traditional Vietnam music on the dragon boat in Huong river. The train ticket costs 190k VND (~8€) for one way trip. Remember to try the Vietnamese Salted Coffee in Hue (the motherlands of this beverage). It could wake you up with just a sip. ##scenictrain ##huevietnam ##huecity

It's a very lively area Because it is more convenient to have a car, We chose to live on the banks of the Xiangjiang River, not far from the downtown area. The environment is quieter :) You can sit on the rooftop and watch the Hong Kong River and Hue Imperial City early in the morning. It's so satisfying to sip Vietnamese coffee.

#VietnamTravel The Hue Imperial Archaeological Museum, located at 3 Le Truc Street, a little away from the city center, is close to the Hue Imperial Relics. Atmosphere: The museum is located inside the Long An Palace, built in 1845. The Long An Palace is a beautiful building in the style of a traditional Vietnamese house, decorated with wooden columns and various sculptures and poems.

A day trip from Da Nang by train to Hue, the former capital of Vietnam with many historical monuments. Hue is a World Heritage Site.

away inside the Hue Imperial Citadel, Toi Linh Tu is not as grand as the main temples—but it carries a quiet, sacred presence. This modest ancestral temple honors the spirits of loyal mandarins who served the Nguyen emperors. Walking through its gates, I felt a deep sense of respect and stillness. The moss-covered tiles, gentle incense scent, and aged altars create an atmosphere that touches the heart. It’s a peaceful corner that reminds us that history is not just in power—but in loyalty and spirit. #Hue #ToiLinhTu #ImperialCity #VietnamHistory #SacredPlaces 📍Address: Imperial city 🏖️Ambiance/Facilities: nice

The royal dynasty of Vietnam where history is so rich and culture began

The Hue Imperial City (Đại Nội Huế) is the royal palace of the Nguyen Dynasty in Vietnam, located on the north bank of the Perfume River. It is one of the most well-preserved royal architectural complexes in Vietnam. Built between 1802 and 1833, the Imperial City was designed based on the layout of the Chinese Forbidden City, incorporating Vietnamese characteristics. It features majestic palaces, walls, and courtyards, showcasing the splendor of the former royal family. The Imperial City is divided into different areas, including the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Forbidden Purple City, the Temple of Ancestors, and the Royal Garden. Each structure holds deep historical and cultural significance. The Hall of Supreme Harmony, with its golden splendor, was the site of major ceremonies held by the emperor, while the Forbidden Purple City was the residence of the royal family. Despite suffering damage during the war, the grandeur of the past can still be seen. Walking through the Imperial City, one can feel the strong royal atmosphere and admire the exquisite carvings and architectural art. This ancient city is not only a symbol of Hue but also an important site for exploring Vietnam's feudal history and culture, making visitors feel as if they have traveled back to the imperial era.

The moment I set foot in the Hue Imperial City, I was overwhelmed by its grandeur and the weight of its history. As the royal palace of the Nguyen Dynasty, this place is a special space filled with Vietnam's history and culture. The vast grounds are dotted with palaces where emperors lived, buildings where ceremonies were held, and serene gardens, allowing you to feel the footsteps of history wherever you walk. The first thing that caught my eye was the magnificent main gate called 'Ngo Mon.' The vibrant decorations and intricate carvings were overwhelming in their splendor. Passing through the gate, I was greeted by expansive gardens and imposing palaces, making me feel as if I had wandered into a world of the past. Especially impressive was the 'Thai Hoa Palace,' a prestigious building where the emperor conducted ceremonies, with its golden pillars and intricately depicted dragon decorations. As I walked through the Imperial City, I also saw buildings that had collapsed due to the war and ruins under restoration. These sights quietly told the story of the glory of history, the passage of time, and the scars of war. However, restoration efforts are ongoing, and I felt the Vietnamese people's dedication to preserving this heritage. Additionally, the Imperial City has beautiful gardens where you can take a break by the pond and enjoy the magnificent scenery. It is a place where you can feel the harmony with nature, not just historical buildings, providing a moment of tranquility. At dusk, the buildings of the Imperial City are illuminated by the setting sun, creating an even more magical atmosphere, breathtaking in its beauty. The Hue Imperial City is a valuable place where you can deeply understand Vietnam's history and culture. By visiting this place where splendid palaces and historical ruins coexist, you can feel the glory of past kings, the scars of war, and the importance of the culture that will be passed on to the future.

Hue is a beautiful town with rich history and historical sites. Walking through the Imperial City is like walking right into history and its past glory. It is really amazing how the different Palaces co-existed with each other. The last monarchy went into history in 1965 after the 13th Emperor handed over his power. Apart from the Imperial City, the town oozes rustic charm and peace.

Trip to Hue, Vietnam 🇻🇳 One of the most memorable parts of my trip to Hue was visiting the Imperial City 🏯, the former seat of the Nguyen emperors. The complex is impressively well-preserved and nicely renovated, with restored palaces, gates, and temples that give a real sense of the city’s royal past 👑. Walking through the spacious courtyards and ornate halls was both calming and fascinating — it’s a peaceful place where history feels very much alive ✨. Food-wise 🍜, I couldn’t leave Hue without trying its most famous dish, Bún Bò Huế. The broth is rich, flavorful, and slightly spicy 🌶️, with a depth that sets it apart from other Vietnamese noodle soups. I also had crab soup 🦀, which was light yet savory, full of fresh crab flavor — perfect after a long day of exploring. Both dishes were simple but memorable, much like the city itself. Hue is a great place to slow down, enjoy some history, and eat well 🧘♂️🍲

Hue 🌺 is a city located 2-3 hours by car from Da Nang and 3-4 hours by car from Hoi An. The climate and buildings are reminiscent of Shuri Castle in Okinawa. That's because the model for Hue Royal Palace is the same as the Forbidden City 🇨🇳 in China and Shuri Castle. Here are some tourist tips for visiting Hue Royal Palace if you're traveling to Vietnam! 🕰️Opening hours: 7:30-17:00 ⌛️Time required: About 3 hours with breaks and a leisurely stroll 🏖️Atmosphere: 🇨🇳✖️🇫🇷✖️Okinawa ➡️It may be rude to express it like this, but I think this expression is easy for Japanese people to understand. Under the influence of colonization, a building like the Chinese version of the Palace of Versailles was built. 💰Price per person: 200,000 VND as of 2025 ➡️About 1250 yen on Trip.com. The ticket office only accepts cash payments, so I bought it in advance since the price wasn't that different. I was able to enter smoothly! ⚠️Notes ☑️Although Hue Imperial Palace on Google Maps looks like it is far from Imperial City, it is actually the same! ➡️With the 1250 yen ticket on Trip.com, you can see all the buildings in Imperial City. Hue Imperial Palace seems to refer to the entire castle town (loosely translated) centered on the castle, and all the main buildings are in Imperial City👌💕 ☑️Be careful with tickets that include the Imperial Tombs ➡️Looking at the ticket page, I think there is a ticket that includes a view of the three Imperial Tombs for about 3,000 yen. But be careful when purchasing this one! It is about 30 to 60 minutes by car from the Royal Palace, so it is almost impossible for day trippers to visit❌ ☑️Traveling to Hue by train, beware of delays ➡️The train scenery from Da Nang to Hue is famous. However, there is a reason why we took the trouble to travel by car this time...😥Because there were multiple reports of significant delays. Day trippers should avoid it. 📌 Vietnam is a place where it is difficult to find tourist attractions that are typical of the area, but the Hue Royal Palace is a wonderful tourist spot that will solve that dissatisfaction! If you get bored on your resort trip, you might want to stretch your legs and see it for a day👀‼ ️ Make sure to visit on a sunny day☀️ #Overseas seasonal places
