The Imperial City of Hue is square, each side is about 2.5 kilometers long, surrounded by a moat. The city wall is 8 meters high and 20 meters thick, all made of bricks. There are a total of 10 city gates, each about 16 meters high. In the capital, there are six districts where hundreds of officials work, including the Imperial Court, the Secret Service, the Metropolitan Police, the History Museum, the Cabinet, and the Xixian Academy. A very important part of the capital of Hue is the Imperial City. The Imperial City adopts the architectural drawings of the Forbidden City in Beijing, so when visiting, it seems to enter a miniature version of the Forbidden City in Beijing. There is the Forbidden City, which is divided into two parts. The front is the Palace of Diligence where the emperor usually handles government affairs, the back is the Palace of Qiancheng, where the emperor lives, the Kuntai Palace where the queen lives, the Guangming Palace where the crown prince lives, and the other concubines live. Shunhui Hospital, etc. There are also flag towers, Hall of Supreme Harmony, and palace halls and temples for worshipping emperors of all dynasties in the imperial city. The entire building is quite spectacular. It is the largest and more complete ancient building complex in Vietnam and has been included in the World Cultural Heritage List.
