The old Hue City holds a very special position in the history of Viet Nam. It was chosen by the Lord Nguyen Hoang as the capital of the Dang Trong territory (1558). King Quang Trung later made it the capital of the Tay Son Dynasty (1778-1802), and King Gia Long, the capital of the Nguyen Dynasty (1802-1945).
With its old citadel, palaces and mausoleums of the Kings and Lords of the Nguyen Dynasty, Complex of Hue Monuments has been recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since December, 1993. Since November 2003, Court Music has been honoured and recognized by UNESCO as Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.
Thua Thien Hue Province offers very diversified and beautiful landscapes. Nature and human beings live harmoniously in the fishing villages such as Thuan An or Lang Co, and Bach Ma (White Horse) National Park. Thua Thien Hue Province provides a well-balanced blend of royal heritage and folk culture. As a matter of fact, tourists can discover dozens of handicraft villages, with annual festivals that are painstakingly organized.
