ABOUT HUE IMPERIAL CITY
Hue is one of the main properties of a color described with names such as "red", "yellow", etc. The two other main properties of light are saturation, and lightness.
Usually, colors with the same hue are distinguished with adjectives referring to their lightness and/or chroma, such as with "light blue", "pastel blue", "vivid blue". Exceptions include brown, which is a dark orange, and pink, a light red with reduced chroma.
In painting color theory, a hue refers to a pure color—one without tint or shade (added white or black pigment, respectively). A hue is an element of the color wheel.
Straddling the Perfume River, this former royal capital of Vietnam of the Nguyen Dynasty is considered by many as the pinnacle of Vietnamese language, fashion, and cuisine. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Hue is dominated by the Imperial Citadel, a moated and walled city that contains the Forbidden Purple City, modeled after the original in China. Here you will find many architectural testaments to Vietnam's rich past.
Hue's spring rolls are a must-try. A glass of wine at La Residence (the governor-general residence in the colonial past) in another experience you will enjoy.
