Huế was the Imperial Capital of the Nguyen Dynasty, the last monarchy. Huế has its own pace and being the imperial seat, Huế is famed for the food enjoyed by emperors. Visit the Forbidden City which saw intense conflict during 1968 Tet Offensive that destroyed much of the splendor. The Nguyen Emperors liked to build grand tombs to themselves (except the final three). Each Emperor built move lavish tombs than the one before. Visiting these tombs are a treat for those who love ancient architecture.
