Hue and the Imperial City

Vietnam's capital under the Nguyen dynasty from 1802 to 1945, built as a walled citadel on the Perfume River with a purple forbidden city at its centre, modelled on Beijing's. The 1968 Tet Offensive levelled much of it and restoration is still going; what stands is a mix of the original and careful rebuilding. The royal tombs are scattered in the hills south of the city and are, for many people, the better half of the visit.

Worth knowing: The citadel is large, flat and exposed, and a proper look is two to three hours of walking. Day trips from Hoi An mean four hours in a vehicle for it.
