China and Vietnam share a rich history of cultural exchanges, reflected in their architectural masterpieces. Two iconic heritage sites – the Forbidden City and the Hue Imperial City – stand as testaments to this shared legacy.

Located in the heart of Beijing, the Forbidden City served as the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Constructed between 1406 and 1420, it is characterized by its symmetrical layout, sweeping golden roofs, vibrant red walls, and intricate woodwork. In 1987, the Forbidden City was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Hue Imperial City was built in 1802 as the royal palace of the Nguyen dynasty, Vietnam's last imperial rulers. It mirrors Beijing's Forbidden City in both structure and function. It features a square layout with four gates and a surrounding moat. The Hue Imperial City was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993.
Both palaces highlight the profound architectural and cultural connections between China and Vietnam, preserving centuries of history and tradition.
