Located in the central part of Vietnam, Hue is an ideal destination to learn about history, culture, and long-standing traditional values. Once the capital of the Nguyen Dynasty for many centuries, Hue, despite various upheavals, has still preserved its ancient features, monumental architectural works, and sophisticated, beautiful artworks with special historical-cultural values.

General Director of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Audrey Azoulay confirmed this after visiting a number of architectural works in the Complex of Hue Monuments on September 7.

"Hue Architectural Heritage through Drawings - Document of the Institute of Monument Conservation” is a publication recently published by the Institute of Monument Conservation belonging to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, (formerly the Central Workshop of Monument Preservation and Repair, Monument Design and Repair Center.)

Thanks to the 3D-scanning application, data of the status quo of architectural works in Hue heritage complex were obtained and stored. These data are used for conservation as well as for virtual reality (VR) tours.
