1. Introduction to the Heritage of Hue Imperial City


Hue Imperial City, also known as Phu Xuan, located in central
Vietnam, was the capital of the Nguyen Dynasty from 1802 to

historical heritage sites. Recognized as a UNESCO World
Heritage Site in 1993, Hue is famous for its stunning imperial
architecture, including the Forbidden Purple City, majestic royal
tombs, and ancient temples.

name Gia Long, he also chose Phu Xuan as the capital of the
Nguyen dynasty—the last feudal dynasty in Vietnamese history.

2. The prominent historical values of Hue Imperial City:
The Capital of the Nguyen Dynasty (1802-1945) – Hue was the
political, economic, and cultural center of Vietnam during the reign
of the Nguyen Dynasty. It served as the seat of the imperial court
and the home of Vietnamese emperors for over a century.
A Unique Architectural Heritage – Hue’s architecture is a beautiful
blend of Vietnamese, Chinese, and French influences. The Imperial
City, royal tombs, and ancient temples showcase the craftsmanship
and artistic vision of past generations.
The Golden Age of Vietnamese Culture – During its time as the
imperial capital, Hue was a thriving center for literature, music,
and art. Many of Vietnam’s greatest poets, musicians, and scholars
lived and worked here, shaping the country’s cultural identity.

3. Challenges in the conservation of Hue ancient capital


Natural disasters and climate change – Heavy rains and floods
damage monuments, increasing the risk of collapse and weakening
wooden structures.
Ineffective heritage management – Overlapping responsibilities
and weak coordination make it difficult to restore many degraded
monuments due to a lack of funding and proper plans.
The degradation of the heritage - Time and environmental factors
have damaged many structures. Only about 130 monuments have
been restored, while wooden architecture still easily damaged.
Over-tourism and pollution – Rapid tourism growth causes
overcrowding and pollution, affecting the natural beauty and
sustainability of historical sites.

Lack of community involvement – Weak management and low


public participation lead to ineffective conservation and fading
cultural values.

4.What can we do to preserve it?


To protect Hue’s heritage, several key actions are needed. For
natural disasters and climate change, monuments should be
reinforced with flood-resistant materials, early warning systems
used, and natural landscapes restored to reduce flooding. To
improve heritage management, a centralized system should be set
up, sustainable funding secured, and restoration plans made for at-
risk monuments. To address over-tourism and pollution, visitor
numbers should be controlled, eco-friendly tourism promoted, and
tourists educated on responsible behavior.
