Inside Hue's Citadel, a newly restored building at the main gate of the Forbidden City.

One of Hue's main attractions, the Citadel, was the site of the bloodiest battles during the Vietnam war. Very little remains of the grand structures inside the Citadel, which is going through major restoration today.

The Perfume River runs through the city of Hue on its way to the South China Sea.
