The Citadel in Hue is a historical site which was constructed in 1805 under the Nguyen Dynasty. From then on, it functioned as the imperial seat of the ancient government. Over the years, new buildings were added to strengthen the defense over attackers. The Citadel was once compared to the Forbidden City in Beijing, China; however, it was hardly damaged in 1947 by the French.

features a Tropical monsoon climate under the Koppen climate

temperature is 20 °C, sometimes as low as 9°C. And Spring lasts from

Hue is famous for its severe
weather with boiling hot days in the summer and ceaseless raining weeks
in the winter. Hue people, therefore, have formed their own culture to
overcome geographical and climatic difficulties. This culture, seen
through food, characteristics, and other aspects in daily life, reflects
the typical feature of Hue people.
