The Hue Monuments Conservation Centre has installed an automatic
lighting system on one of the gates of the royal palace in a bid to make
the site look more attractive to tourists in the evenings.
The central province of Thua Thien-Hue is seeking
funding of about VND100 billion (US$4.8 million) for a project to
restore and renovate the Ngo Mon (Noon Gate), one of the main structures
of the former Royal Capital City of Hue.
The Hue Monuments Preservation Centre is currently
gathering decorative verses from royal buildings for which to seek
UNESCO World Documentary Heritage recognition.
