Thái Hòa Palace

The Thai Hoa Palace is the largest, most majestic, and magnificent building left from the Nguyen Dynasty. Besides being the place for state ceremonies, it also symbolized power and harmony, showing the Nguyen emperors’ philosophy of how to rule. As a part of the Complex of Hue Monuments, Thai Hoa Palace was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site on December 11, 1993. This palace doesn't just hold historical value; it's an important cultural symbol that attracts visitors from all over Vietnam and the world to admire its unique royal architecture and the rich legacy of the Nguyen Dynasty.

Palace of the 13th king. Wooden throne guilded with gold paint. Table in front of throne for placement of offerings and food. It used to be checked with a silver needle for potential poison.

Not sure how the reviewers got the inside videos but they are forbidden. The throne hall has been restored to its former glory.

Lovely. Would be even better if they allow camera inside.

Only goes back a few hundred years, but makes you realize the power during the imperial times

the Imperial City of Hue established in 1802 is one of the hugest old complex that counts numerous beautiful buildings, the Palace of Harmony is one of them. It will take 2 hours to visit the whole site depending on how fast you walk and how quick you are as visitor.

Amazing - very impressive. This is the palace area designed for the emperor to receive visitors, to impress with ornate detailing and gold splashed throughout.

The palace is a massive building and will take you 3 hours to see everything. Take your time, we started at 10:00 AM and ended at 1:30 PM. Loved everything. We were exhausted at the end.
