🎧  Listen to Introduction

This 14th-century Ho Dynasty citadel was built according to Feng Shui principles, bearing witness to the rise of Neo-Confucianism in Vietnam at the end of the 14th century and its spread to the rest of East Asia. In accordance with these principles, the citadel is situated in a scenic landscape, on a plain between the Ma and Bui rivers, linking the Tuong Son and Don Son mountains. The citadel architecture is an outstanding example of a new style imperial city in Southeast Asia.
