Hue is the historical capital of the dynasty Nguy n and takes the role of cultural capital of Vietnam. The heart of the city is the citadel behind an impressive wall. This citadel was the heart of the empire, it was the residence of the Emperor's army, and various notables who made up the court. The citadel was built around the Forbidden City purple or were the women's apartments of the emperor.
A small thought in Ho Chi Minh ...
Today the castle is partially ruined because of various wars and bombings that have ravaged. One can always admire the majestic Ngo Mon gate has which can be accessed by three bridges, which the middle was once reserved for the emperor. The door is composed of a belvedere, belvedere on the 5 or Ngu Phung . Behind is the palace of Thai Hoa ceremonies or the Emperor sat bi-monthly to the crowd of his subjects. The ceremonies were scrupulously observing the lunar calendar. The mandarins were placed according to their social level, the most important to least important first rank ninth. The army was the right and left notables. The emperor himself was on the throne was inside a pagoda. Behind it, symmetrically, are the two halls and the mandarins were changing for the ceremonies. Further, the center of the citadel, was the Forbidden City itself that there remains much today. To the east lies the Theatre Royal, the reading room and a small temple. To the west are the important places of the dynasty. Ngo Mon Gate

During our second day in Hue, we rented a motorbike for visit the Royal Tombs, mausoleums demeusures or spoils of emperors are stored for all eternity. In general, the tombs in their walls possess a lake, several pagodas and a small hill where the relics of the emperor are buried. Found so often a pavilion with a stele inscribed with the exploits of the emperor, a temple where one can pray in her honor, a tomb, a courtyard and a pond covered with lotus surrounded by frangipani and pines. We went to visit the tomb of Khai Dinh , beautiful building with a temple and a courtyard.

Then the magnificent tomb of Minh Mang composed of a lake in the halfpipe at the heart of which is a hill with the tomb of the emperor. It arrives at the burial site after a succession of large ornamental pagodas dedicated in general to a god as the god of the moon or the sun. Garden Tomb of Minh Mang
after losing several times and have defied the laws of logic we fell on the tomb of Tu Duc while they sought that of Dong Khan (which is still looking for that matter). Tu Duc was a life of luxury and has built a disproportionate falls. Although he had 108 women and even more concubines, Tu Duc never had any direct descendants. The emperor and his treasure, are not buried on the site of the tomb. The place has indeed been fiercely kept secret, the 200 servants who help with his funeral has been decapitated, so that today no one knows or is Tu Duc. Palace recreation of the Emperor, the poetry program and vanity ...
The after noon we went to visit a bridge not far from the Japanese. Japanese Bridge
Then we took a bus to Ninh Binh (the Ha Long among the rice fields).
