Hue royal architecture preserves unique heritage of poetry and prose
Poetry and literary inscriptions adorning the royal architecture of Hue comprise poems, prose works, parallel sentences and calligraphic panels in classical Chinese characters. Drawn from literary works created during the Nguyen Dynasty (1802–1945), they together form a unique “Museum of Poetry”.
