During its ruling time, the Nguyen Dynasty (1802-1945) developed the art of Tuong (classical opera) to its brilliant peak. Hue’s Royal Tuong is an outstanding representative of classical theatre and the artistic heritage of the Vietnamese people.

A remake of the renowned Vietnamese classical opera play ‘Son Hau’ has been performed in a public space of an old terraced building in Van Chuong alley in downtown Hanoi. The play has enthralled both senior residents and youngsters as it is a cool combination of the traditional art form and contemporary art.
A set of seven blue-and-white ceramic plates and bowls patterned with five-sharp-clawed dragons, dating from the Le so (Early Le) Dynasty (1428 - 1527), are on display at the Thang Long Imperial Citadel.
The Upper Citadel is the uppermost architectural area of the outermost defensive citadel of former imperial city of Hue in the central province of Thua Thien-Hue. This is an important place, with vision far and wide. From this height, visitors can gain a fresh view of the city and streets of Hue.
An ancient ritual was recently re-enacted at the Thang Long Imperial Citadel in Hanoi as part of celebrations of the Doan Ngo Festival, which takes place on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.

Hue has long been spoken of as a beautiful ancient city and was the capital of Vietnam’s last feudal dynasty. The city in the central province of Thua Thien-Hue, however, is also a vibrant and youthful destination that offers a fresh and exciting holiday.
The restoration of Kien Trung Palace which housed the last Vietnamese emperor in the Hue Imperial Citadel will be finished by the end of this year. The work began in February 2019 and has entered the final phase. It will help preserve and uphold the UNESCO-recognised Complex of Hue Monuments in the central province of Thua Thien-Hue.
Visitors to Hue imperial citadel may be surprised by the splendid, magnificent exterior of Kien Trung Palace, which is being restored by talented porcelain workers in the former imperial capital. The art of porcelain decoration is considered a brilliant “cloak”, breathing life into the unique palace and its Indochinese architectural style.
