vietnam4In central Vietnam the imperial house of the Nguyen dynasty in Hue flourished and declined from 1802 to 1945 and the country's arts, architecture and culture attained great heights. The tombs of the emperors are magnificent structures standing as evidence of immortality. Before its imperial heyday its great trading port at Hoi An was the site of an ancient race of Chams and a center of transoceanic trade. These two towns are still beautiful places today with a peace and tranquil charm to match their historical past.
