What is Imperial City of Huế?
The '''Imperial City of Hue''' was the [[palace]] where the [[Nguyen Dynasty|Nguyen emperors]] lived and ruled [[Vietnam]] from 1802 to 1945. It has a similar purpose to the [[Forbidden City]] in [[Beijing]], [[China]]. Like the Forbidden City, the inner part of the Imperial City, the Forbidden Purple City, did not allow [[Commoner|commoners]] to enter. The Imperial City was opened to everyone after Vietnam's last [[emperor]], [[Bảo Đại|Bao Dai]], stepped down from power. The Imperial City would later be a battleground in the [[Battle of Huế|Battle of Hue]]. Even today, visitors can see signs that the battle happened since many of the [[Building|buildings]] still have bullet holes in them. {{asia-stub}} [[Category:Palaces in Asia]] [[Category:Buildings and structures in Vietnam]] [[Category:Huế]]
