Hue was the old capital of Vietnam, and the Imperial City is actually a smaller scale of the Forbidden City in Beijing. We spent less than 90 minutes inside the Imperial City, for a lot of buildings were still being restored due to the heavy damage it suffered from the war.
I can picture that when the reconstruction is finished, it would be the biggest attraction of Vietnam.
