Hue Nguyen Dynasty relics to be restored
Print 
The government has approved a VND2.5 trillion (US$125 million) plan to restore and conserve Hue’s relics over the next decade.
It seeks to restore degraded Nguyen Dynasty relics, including the Inner City, to their original state.
Hue was the capital of the Nguyen Dynasty, Vietnam’s last imperial dynasty, which ruled between 1802 and 1945 when Bao Dai abdicated and transferred power to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam.
The Inner City, which is divided into the Royal City and Forbidden City, is the largest site in Hue and was built between 1804 and 1833.
There are 100 other constructions inside but most of them have deteriorated due to natural causes and damaged during wars.
