Hue is a province capital in central Vietnam and
was the state capital from 1738 to 1775 and of
the Nguyen Dynasty from 1802 to 1945. The city
functioned as the administrative capital of the
protectorate of Annam during the French Indochina
period and contains one of the few UNESCO
designated sites in Vietnam. The Imperial City,
built along the same lines as the Forbidden
Palace in Beijing, was the country's
administrative centre. Senior mandarins, court
officers and civil servants would have entered by
the Ngo Mon (noon gate). Directly behind were
the Dai Trieu Nghi (great rites courtyard) and
the Thai Hoa Palace (throne hall) where the
Emperor would meet foreign rulers and emissaries,
high-ranking ministers and other dignitaries.

The grounds of the Imperial City are protected
by fortified ramparts 2 kilometers by 2
kilometers, and ringed by a moat. The water in
the moat is routed from the Perfume River through
a series of sluice gates. This enclosure is the
citadel (Kinh thanh). Noon Gate is a huge
construction, U-shaped and consisting of two
parts below is a foundation made of brick, Thanh
and Quang stone, above is a pavilion made of wood
and roofed with tiles. The longest and widest
sides of this 5.2m high foundation are 50m and
27m, respectively. Ascent to the top can be made
by two open stone staircases on both sides. There
are five entrances, the main one being Noon Gate,
paved with Thanh stone, and with red-lacquered
doors reserved for the Emperor. The two
side-entrances, the Left and Right Gates, were
for civil and military mandarins and, inside the
branches of the U, are two more gates used by
soldiers, elephants, and horses on the royal
procession. The upper part is the Ngu Phung
Pavilion (Pavilion of Five Phoenixes) in the
middle, flanked by two wing belvederes of two
stories. Viewed from above, the pavilion
resembles a group of five phoenixes with beaks
joining and wings widespread. They form two rows,
two roofs each surrounded with a roofed gallery

Presenter Notes
The upper part is the Ngu Phung Pavilion
(Pavilion of Five Phoenixes) in the middle,
flanked by two wing belvederes of two stories.
Viewed from above, the pavilion resembles a group
of five phoenixes with beaks joining and wings
widespread. They form two rows, two roofs each
surrounded with a roofed gallery.

    The middle section of the roof is covered
with yellow enameled tiles and others with dark
green ones. Along the roof ridges are designs of
head-turning dragons, banian leaves and bats with
golden coins. Panels along the eaves are
decorated with ceramic mosaics of prunes, orchid,
chrysanthemum and bamboo. They are bright and
harmonious, and very resistant against the rains,
typhoons and the passage of time. (Source

Hué a fost capitala Viêtnamului unificat de
împaratul Gia Long (1802-1819), caruia
specialistii feng shui i-au indicat asezarea
palatului pe malul nordic al Huong Giang râul
parfumat. El si-a construit aici propriul oras
interzis o replica a palatului imperial din
Beijing Din pacate palatul a cazut victima
razboaielor secolului XX, gloan?elor franceze,
razboiului din Vietnam ?i bombelor americane si
doar o mica parte a fost restaurata. Less than a
third of the structures inside the citadel
remain. The French army shelled the building, and
removed or destroyed nearly all the treasures it
contained. Most of the buildings in the Forbidden
City were destroyed by fire in 1947. Further
destruction occurred when Hues Citadel became
the symbolic epicentre of the 1968 Tet Offensive.
Major artillery battles were fought when the Viet
Cong overran Hue and when the US forces finally
recaptured the citadel 25 days later. Despite
more than fifty years of decay and attrition, the
Citadel is still imposing, and recent renovation
work has restored several of its buildings to
their previous glory.

Presenter Notes
The lower story was left open except for the
middle compartment which is paneled and supplied
with glass-doors. There sat the Emperor on
festive occasions. Behind his seat were a big
bell and a large drum, which enhanced the
importance of the ceremonies. Besides, the drum
was often used to herald closing-time of the
Imperial City. At this signal, sentries would
fire the cannons of the Flag Tower and close, or
open, the gates of the citadel.

   Two Chinese characters meaning "Noon Gate" on
the front of this construction had originally
been gilded with genuine gold. All structural
components such as partitions, columns rafters
doors and banisters are lacquered red and yellow.

    Noon Gate was also the site where the Emperor
received homage from his subjects and ceremonies
took place such as Ceremony of Proclamation of
Doctor Lists (successful candidates in the
national examination), Calendar Offering Day,
etc.

The Complex of Hue Monuments is located in and
around Hue City. Established as the capital of
unified Vietnam in 1802 CE, Hue was not only the
political but also the cultural and religious
centre under the Nguyen Dynasty, the last royal
dynasty of Vietnamese history, from 1802 to 1945
CE. The plan of the new capital is in accordance
with ancient oriental philosophy, and respected
the physical conditions of the site. The Ngu Binh
Mountain (known as the Royal Screen) and the
Perfume River, which runs through the city, give
this unique feudal capital an entire setting of
great natural beauty as well defining its
symbolic importance.
