Hue is located in Thua Thien prefecture and is in the central part of Vietnam, 660 km from Ha Noi and
1080 km from Saigon. Hue became the name of Vietnam's most well known ancient capital because of
the local mispronunciation of the word Hoá in Thuân Hoá. Many historical buildings are located in Hue,
largely a legacy from its time as a capital of the Nguyen dynasty (1802-1945). Inside the city are the
Royal Citadel, Flag Tower, Royal Palace, and Royal Tombs. Hue’s Forbidden Purple City was once
reserved for the royal family; it was severely damaged during the War. Outside the city is the religious

the color of the Perfume River becomes darker when it runs along the foot of Ngoc Tran Mount - the
Jade Cup Temple. The river brings with it fragrances of tropical flora. Probably that's why the name of
the river has been the Perfume River.
