Hué’s cultural landscape

Abstract

`titrebThe cultural landscape of Hué`/titrebMonuments of Hue, Vietnam, were inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1993. In 2011, Unesco requested an extension of the classification to the “cultural landscapes” mainly consisting of garden homes, considered as emblematic buildings of the nobility of the ancient feudal empire. This is one of the actions undertaken in the name of national unity of North and South Vietnam as Hue was the first Capital of the former entire Vietnam Empire. This also leads to complex political issues as 40 %of the current owners of these garden homes are descendants of occupants before the reunification of 1975. Tourism, linked to Unesco Labels may thus be considered as a misunderstanding of a previous culture which is reduced to architectural folklore without historical background.
