Hue's urban style
The beauty of Hue is the first in Xiangjiang. Xiangjiang got its name because it is said that the upper reaches are covered with dense Acorus gramineus, and there is always a faint fragrance floating in the clear river. Xiangjiang River originated in Changshan Mountains. Although the source is as high as more than 5 meters above sea level, when the rushing river reaches the plain, it becomes extremely gentle and gentle, and it slowly flows through Hue to the sea. A clear and clear stream irrigates fertile rice fields, orchards and flower beds on both sides of the strait, and washes the bustling cities and towering pavilions elegant and quiet. Xiangjiang not only divided Chengda-Hue province into north and south, but also used her gentle call to communicate with the plain and mountainous areas.
Of course, when it comes to Hue, people always mention a river with clear water and a green hill. The clear water is naturally Xiangjiang River, and the green hills are the Yuping Mountain in the southwest of Hue, which is covered with pine trees and green shade. In the early morning, the dark mountains are looming in the misty veil, full of mysterious colors. When the clouds disperse, you can climb to the top of Yuping Mountain and see the sea from afar. In fact, Hue Beach, which is covered by Casuarina trees, is only 13 kilometers away from the city, which happens to be the mouth of Xiangjiang River. Perhaps it is because the mountains and waters in Hue are so beautiful that the folk songs bred are so simple and beautiful. The wanderers in Hue said that no matter how long they were away from home, they would never forget the lullabies, rice-soaked songs and the songs that started with the beat of the paddle.
hue is probably the most beautiful city in Vietnam. Because of its long history, culture and well-preserved ancient buildings, it has been listed as a "world cultural heritage" by the United Nations.
hue, the capital of Vietnam's Chengtian-hue province, is located in central Vietnam, 654 kilometers north of Hanoi, 171 kilometers south of Ho Chi Minh City, 8 kilometers west of Changshan Mountains and 8 kilometers east of the sea, with an area of 15 square kilometers and a population of about 2,. From the 17th century to the 194s, it was the capital of the old Nguyen, Xishan Nguyen and New Nguyen feudal dynasties in Vietnam, and it was the ancient capital of three dynasties in Vietnam.
Hue is a beautiful city. The winding and clear Xiangjiang River runs through the city and divides the city into north and south areas. The north area is the old city, and it is divided into the outer city and the inner city. The outer city is the former capital city, 8 kilometers from Fiona Fang, surrounded by a moat, with a wall of 6 meters high and 24 forts. There are four gates in the south, three gates in the east, two gates in the west and two gates in the north. Within the outer city is the Forbidden City, Fiona Fang is 2.4 kilometers, and the wall is 6 meters high. The Forbidden City is basically modeled after the Forbidden City in Beijing, with the main entrance at the meridian gate and the Hall of Supreme Harmony after the meridian gate. The Hall of Supreme Harmony is the place where the emperor summoned officials of civil and military affairs. It is supported by 8 tall carved dragon and red lacquer wooden columns. Behind the Hall of Supreme Harmony is the Hall of Qinzheng, and on both sides are the ancestral temples. The palace building of the Forbidden City is quite spectacular, and it is the largest and most complete ancient architectural complex in Vietnam. Outside the south gate of the Forbidden City, there are imperial academy, Qin Tianjian, Official Department, Household Department, Ritual Department, Criminal Department, Ministry of War, and the commander-in-chief of the five armies, namely, the middle, front, back, left and right.
from the city center, 6 kilometers up Xiangjiang River, you can reach Tianmu Temple. The temple was built on the site of an ancient Champa Pagoda group and has a history of nearly 4 years. Legend has it that there were 32 golden Buddha statues in the temple, but during the French occupation, the Buddha statues were stolen. There is a 7-story pagoda in the temple, which is 21 meters high, and each floor is dedicated to a Buddha statue. There is also a hexagonal bell tower in Tianmu Temple. The hanging ancient clock was cast in 171 and weighed 2 tons. Not far from Tianmu Temple, it is the Confucian Temple in Hue. There are 32 tablets of Ruan Dynasty Jinshi in the temple. There was no champion in the Ruan Dynasty in Vietnam, so there was only the Jinshi tablet in the temple. About 2 kilometers from Hue Railway Station, you can reach the former Nanjiao altar. This is the place where emperors used to worship heaven and earth. The altar is made of earth, three stories high, with a round upper layer and a square middle layer, which means a round place. In the past, every three years, King Annan went to this place to worship heaven. Nanjiao altar site was destroyed during the Vietnam War, and now it is difficult to see its original appearance. When the southern suburb altar comes out, you can go right to Yuping Mountain, which is less than 1 meters high, but it is a natural screen in Hue, with lush pine forests and beautiful scenery.
Six mausoleums of Emperor Ruan Chao are scattered on the mountains on both sides of Xiangjiang River, 7-15km northeast of Hue city. Mausoleums are built for the scenery, and the scenery is different. Emperor Side's mausoleum uses the terrain skillfully and has a unique architectural shape. The scale of Emperor Jialong's mausoleum is magnificent. Each mausoleum has four bronze doors, with marble roads in front and stone figures, statues and horses on both sides.
Other tourist attractions in Hue include Jingxin Lake, Wannian Ferry, Yaodi Temple, Cidi Temple, Lingguang Temple, Xiangyun Temple and Baoyuan Temple. Hue is an ancient capital of three dynasties. During the feudal dynasty, the cultural atmosphere was strong, and the mountains and rivers were beautiful and the climate was pleasant. Therefore, most women in Hue are handsome and dignified, and they can sing and dance well.
hue was once the ancient capital of three dynasties in Vietnam. In the ancient imperial city, layers of historical traces were deposited. Hue is located in the middle of Vietnam. Whether it is from Hanoi to the south or Ho Chi Minh City to the north, at first glance, you can find its distinctive temperament: the lush trees and the clear water of a river set off the whole city. The dark brown old city walls everywhere, with a leisurely green hill in the background, give people a sense of peace in the world.
Hanoi has also become chaotic because of the urgent need for economic benefits, not to mention the lack of planning for the crowded density and construction of Ho Chi Minh City. Only Hue, an ancient capital, has always been an ancestral treasure of Vietnam, and a page records the splendid past history of the dynasty. Its poetic calmness and profound cultural heritage are the temperament that is hard to find in today's tourist cities in Vietnam.
hue is the capital of Vietnam's Chengtian province, which is 654 kilometers away from Hanoi in the north and more than a thousand kilometers away from Ho Chi Minh City in the south. Hue itself is small, with an area of about 15 square kilometers. It was the ancient capital of Vietnam's Old Nguyen, Xishan Nguyen and New Nguyen successively.
1. Walking into the ancient painting: Hue can be described as "a river with clear water leads to green hills, and the waves and peaks are lingering". Hue's clear water is "Xiangjiang", which meanders through the ancient city, divides the ancient city into north and south, and also shapes many corners with elegant scenery. The Imperial City was built in imitation of the Forbidden City and was deeply influenced by China's aesthetics. Hue Mountain is the Yuping Mountain, where pine trees form forests. In the morning, it is shrouded in a beautiful mist, but when the weather is clear, you can see the sea as far as you can from the top of the mountain. Rivers, mountains, ancient cities and gentle people. Coming to Hue without an industrial zone is like walking into an ancient picture. Vietnam now has four world cultural heritages, and Hue Ancient City is one of them besides Halong Bay, Meishan Holy Land and Huian Gubu. Because it is also a cultural heritage, Hue has developed tourism in recent years, with a population of only 3,. There are also some travel agencies in downtown areas of the city, which is very convenient to arrange tours in Hue, in addition to connecting traffic from all parts of Vietnam. Appreciating Hue requires a mood, and you must not be nervous. The easiest and most time-consuming way is to hire a motorcycle, tell the driver the price and the number of scenic spots, and let him decide the time for sightseeing and browsing. In this way, Hue can be really contacted at the nearest distance. Usually, a tour is about 8 dollars a day. In terms of human feelings, drivers should be provided with drinking water and lunch. Hue scenic spots are quite concentrated, so you can enjoy them slowly everywhere.
2. The ancient imperial city has obvious traces of Chinese culture: in ancient China, Viet Nam was named Xiang County, and the Han Dynasty also sent local officials to manage it. It can be said that it was influenced by China culture very early. The ancient imperial city of Hue was built in the north of the city, and was listed as a world cultural heritage in 1993. It covers an area of about 8 square kilometers, facing Xiangjiang River and leaning against Yuping Mountain. It is really a royal feng shui. Coming to the ancient imperial city is a bit familiar. The gate design is quite similar to the meridian gate of the Forbidden City in Beijing. When you go in, it is also a gradual pattern of one hall and one square with a central axis. The ancient imperial city in Hue was originally based on the blueprint of the Forbidden City in the Ming Dynasty. In addition to the meridian gate, the imperial city also has four gates: Heping Gate, Xianren Gate and Zhangde Gate. The last emperor of Vietnam, Baoda, officially abdicated at Wumen on August 3, 1945, and Vietnam abolished the feudal monarchy from that day on.
The brick wall of the Imperial City is 8 meters high. There are 24 forts around the city. There are also the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Qinzheng Hall, Ancestral Temple, imperial academy, Secret Institute, Duchayuan and so on, but the decoration and scale are much smaller. Other parts of the imperial palace, such as the harem, the palace garden and the theater room, are all distributed on both sides of the central axis. Although the scale is small, the tranquility and solemnity of Vietnamese culture can be seen in the imperial city. Although it is a palace, this beauty is not close to the dignitaries, but more like the elegance of the scribes. During the war, Da Nang, a US military base, was not far away, and the ancient palace in Hue inevitably suffered some damage, but on the whole, it is still the best preserved ancient architectural complex in Vietnam. There are not many tourists in the imperial city on weekdays, so you can take your time. Although there are many cultural relics in the ancestral temple, I think the garden in the backyard is the most emotional. It has not been completely restored, and pavilions are occasionally broken. Looking out from the ruins, the lush buttonwood trees are swaying in the wind, and life and destruction reflect each other, and the years feel stronger. It is a good attraction for taking photos of the atmosphere.
3. The Old Imperial Tomb is a "Landscape Design Exhibition". Hue has six mausoleums of Ruan emperors, including the mausoleums of emperors and concubines. The Vietnamese landscape aesthetic is very Taoist, which is different from the general feng shui view with strong pertinence. Each of their emperors' tombs will not deliberately add columns to change the feng shui, but will be built according to the scenery, in order to make the best cooperation with the natural scenery. Each imperial tomb has different scenery, some are unique in shape, some are magnificent and some are like gardens. However, in order to separate the scope of each mausoleum, each one has four bronze doors, and the front door is paved with marble roads, and there are stone figures, statues and horses on both sides. Visiting the Mausoleum in Hue is equivalent to buying a ticket and seeing several different styles of landscaping monuments. The various wooden buildings in the Royal Mausoleum bear witness to the culture of Indochina Peninsula in the 17th century. The most poetic scene in the imperial tomb garden is a picturesque lotus pond. The lotus pond is surrounded by pavilions and pavilions built entirely by hand-made wood. When you enjoy the lotus here, if you are in a dream, the pond is full of green trees and there is often a dark mist on the water. When you come here, the classic poetry of Hue's ancient capital is all around you. Another historic site that is full of poetry and should not be missed is Cixiao Temple. Although it is not a famous scenic spot recommended in the travel brochure, the motorcycle that runs away from the gang is willing to take passengers to this secluded Taoyuan. Its main body is an ancient temple, but there are many auxiliary buildings, and it is also a monastery for monks who have just become monks. The monasteries are green everywhere, the forests are dim, the bridges are flowing, the ancient wells are deep, and the Guapu Orchard is interesting everywhere. Looking at the young monks carrying water and watering the flowers, one can't help but think of Tao Yuanming, who is at peace with the world. Walking around, the history recorded on the tablet in the courtyard is no longer important. On the contrary, Vietnamese people show patience everywhere in bonsai, which makes people feel that only the present is real life. When you come here, you will suddenly feel that the meaning of life is to completely immerse yourself in nature and relax.
