Hue (VNA) – The Hue Monuments Conservation Centre has confirmed that it is collaborating with the Republic of Korea’s UALS Co., Ltd. to implement a 3D scanning and digital photography project aimed at creating a comprehensive digital database of the newly restored Thai Hoa Palace in the central city of Hue

The project is expected to run until the end of this year, with the digital database set for completion by June 2026, meeting both Vietnamese and international standards.

The comprehensive restoration of the palace began in November 2021 with an investment of nearly 129 billion VND (5.06 million USD). After three years, it was completed in late November 2024, nine months ahead of schedule, solidifying the palace’s status as a must-visit attraction within the Hue Citadel.

According to the centre, Thai Hoa was originally built in 1805 under King Gia Long at the Dai Cung Mon (Grand Palace Gate) area. In 1833, King Minh Mang reconstructed the palace at its current location. As the official throne hall of the king, the palace hosted royal audiences, grand ceremonies, and key imperial rituals, witnessing the reigns of the 13 kings under the Nguyen Dynasty (1802 – 1945).

The palace also preserves a unique decorative system in the Nhat Thi, Nhat Hoa (one poem - one painting) style, which has been recognised as a documentary heritage under the UNESCO Memory of the World Programme for the Asia-Pacific region./.
