Hue is an ancient city in central Vietnam. It became the country’s royal capital in 1802 when Nguyen Anh, who assumed the name of Emperor Gia Long, took control of the entire country and re-established the Nguyen dynasty here. Soon after strengthening his hold to power, the emperor embarked on a building frenzy, changing Hue’s landscape forever.
