Overview

Hue City, Vietnam's vibrant heritage ancient capital, is an artistic and historical space where ancient tranquility intertwines with the rhythm of modern urban life. Hue's beauty is reflected through the UNESCO-recognized Complex of Hue Monuments, the intricate system of Nguyen dynasty palaces and royal tombs, centuries-old pagodas, and the poetic landscapes along the Perfume River, Ngu Phung range, and Ngu Binh mountain. Alongside its deep traditional culture and distinctive royal and folk cuisine, Hue today shines with a new appearance thanks to synchronously connected transport infrastructure, developed high-end accommodation services, and the orientation to become a centrally-run city rich in identity. Especially for filmmakers, Hue is considered one of the most romantic and antique "open-air studios". The diversity of imperial architecture, ancient noble residences, long-standing craft villages, and abundant natural landscapes makes Hue an ideal destination, providing invaluable raw material for set locations in historical costume dramas, historical films, social-psychological films, and artistic documentaries.
