Traditional, modern, folk, and regal architectural aspects are all combined in Hue's architecture. On December 11th, 1993, UNESCO declared it to be a part of the world cultural heritage. The Imperial Citadel, which is surrounded by 10-meter-thick walls and a moat, is situated on the north side of the river and was constructed in the style of Peking's Forbidden City. A few kilometers up the river lies maybe Hue's most famous religious site. Wonders still exist inside the castle.
