Hue - City of Festivals and Heritage

Vietnam’s former royal capital, Hue, charms visitors with its festivals, ancient sites and traditional culture.

In 1601, while building Thien Mu pagoda on Ha Khe Hill to “gather heaven’s air and maintain heaven’s veins under the earth”, the First Lord Nguyen Hoang seemed to see a bright future for this beautiful land beside the poetic Huong River.

Three generations later, his grandson, Lord Nguyen Phuc Lan, officially founded the capital of South Vietnam at Kim Long Village, beneath the foot of the hill. That was in 1963, when Hue City was born. Since then, Hue has held a special position in the flow of the nation’s history, from Capital City of South Vietnam, to Capital of the Tay Son Dynasty (1788-1801), Capital of the Nguyen Dynasty (1802-1945), and then the Ancient Capital City of Vietnam.

Having held a central position for centuries, Hue city gathered the cream of the cultures of many regions. Hue has a wealth of both material and spiritual heritage. Its beauty comes from its natural environment, its heritage and its people.

In 1993, the Ancient Capital Hue became the first World Heritage site in Vietnam to be recognized by UNESCO.

Since then, Hue city has been a pioneer, helping the country in the task of cultural integration with the world. In the 1990s, Hue started cultural cooperation with powerful countries (its main partner is France) to host international festivals modeled on those held in other regions.

Since 2000, Hue has hosted seven international cultural festivals endorsed by the Government and honored by the international community to exchange culture and heritage. Hundreds of performers from all over the world come to Hue. Each Hue festival is also an occasion to showcase the beauty of Hue’s and Vietnam’s culture.

Both royal and community festivals have been revived. They add to the Hue Festival’s allure. Rituals and events such as the Nam Giao Worship Ceremony, Xa Tac Worship, Truyen Lo Ceremony, Honoring the Homeland and Worshipping the Ancestors Ceremony, the Doctor Vo Festival, the Naval Training of the Nguyen Lords, etc attract thousands of visitors.

During the Hue Festival, the palaces, temples, royal tombs and shrines of Hue become even more mysterious and beautiful.
