Located in central Vietnam on the banks of the Perfume River, Huế is the country’s cultural heart, its complex of monuments earning recognition from UNESCO. Once the seat of a feudal dynasty, that status is preserved at the Citadel, a walled forbidden city reserved for emperors, concubines and loyal attendants. The ancient emperors’ tombs are scattered along the river’s banks. Nearby is Thien Mu Pagoda, the tallest in Vietnam and a testimonial to the city’s imperial past.
