Cửa Chương Đức (Chuong Duc Gate), Hue

Cửa Chương Đức (Chuong Duc Gate) is one of the five gates than allow entrance to the Imperial City from the Citadel. It was built in 1804. The gate leads to the southwest part of the city, right to the Hưng Tổ Miếu (Temple of the Resurrection). Thought it is not the main gate, it is the most beautiful one as it underwent a complete restoration. Today you can admire the beauty of this architectural masterpiece that will impress you with a huge number of unique details.
