Gates

Very reminiscent of Chinese royal style architecture, this is the impressive entrance gate to the Imperial City of Hue, dated 1808-1945. It was largely destroyed in 2 wars, fought with the French and the Americans. However due to ongoing restoration, it is being returned to it's former glory and is a definite must see.
We found a number of smaller gates into various areas, some closed, some open to visitors.
An outside altar. Many of those inside the buildings were no photo areas.
The exit gate.
