UNESCO World Heritage Site in Hue
The Complex of Hue Monuments is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is located in the city of Hue in central
Vietnam. Hue was founded as the Viet Nam capital city by Gia Long, the first king of the Nguyen Dynasty in
1802. It held this position for thirteen Nguyen kings until 1945
The massive complex features hundreds of monuments and ruins, such as the Forbidden Purple City, once the
residence of the royal family and badly damaged during the Vietnam War, the Imperial City, royal tombs, the
flag tower, pagodas, temples, a library and museum.
Hue, located on the banks of the Huong River, (also known as the Perfume River) is about a hundred kilometres
north of Da Nang. Among the most impressive monuments in this former grand imperial capital are the Ngo Mon
Gate of the Imperial City which once was exclusively used by the royal family and their servants and soldiers,
the tomb of Emperor Minh Mang as well as the tomb of Emperor Tu Duc. In fact, many of the monuments
surrounding the royal buildings were constructed in the early 19 th century and were modeled after Beijing's
Forbidden City. The wall that surrounds the citadel is six metres high and two and a half kilometres long.
The historical complex is known not only for its rich architecture but also for its beautiful landscape setting.
Overall, the site is quite spectacular. Avoid Hue between October and December as it gets most of its rain from
the northeast monsoon during that period. This small city is also famous for its Imperial-style cuisine.

vehicles. The Vietnamese carry a huge load of a variety of goods up to over one hundred kilograms, especially

special thing that makes travelers curious. In small areas of District 1 and District 3, we could count more than
100 vendors who earned money using shoulder poles. A shoulder pole, also called a carrying pole, is a yoke
of wood or bamboo, used by people to carry a load. The vendors put their goods in two baskets from each end
of the yoke.
In the downtown, we can meet young women with their shoulder poles. The baskets are covered with
plastic wrap carefully to protect the foods from the street dust. In a tight space of one basket, she could mix

put in other basket.

from different regions of the country, which has become a unique part of Saigon. It has been said that it isn’t

Lifestyles: Past and Present
th th
From the 20 to the 21 century, there have been significant changes in the majority of countries around the
world. Substantial differences are evident between the way we live today, and the way we lived a century
ago.Viet Nam is no exception although there are some aspects of life in Viet Nam that are similar to the way of
life of the twentieth century.
Living in Viet Nam today differs greatly from the lifestyle of 100 years ago. People in the past mainly
worked in agriculture whereas today there are significantly fewer people working in this sector of the economy.
These days, by comparison, people are more likely to be employed in manufacturing and tourism than in the
rice fields. Moreover, Viet Nam, which was traditionally agricultural, is transforming into an entirely different
country. While agriculture is still an important component of the Vietnamese economy, other enterprises are
accounting for an increasing amount of economic activity.
However, along with the differences, similarities also exist. The Vietnamese have kept many of the
characteristics of their forefathers. The Vietnamese people are as friendly today as they were in the past. This is

Education System of Viet Nam in the Past
Because of 1,000 years under the control of China, there were no records which indicated a formal education
system in Viet Nam. In 939, Emperor Ngo Quyen expelled the Chinese invaders and declared Vietnamese
independence. But the first two dynasties Ngo and Dinh did not last so long, and were busy with the national
defense, so the education was just in pagodas. Ly Cong Uan, the founder king of the Ly dynasty had been
educated in a pagoda.
To the Ly dvnasty, the fundamental educational system was officially improved, King Ly Thanh Ton
established the Temple of Literature at the ancient Capital of Thang Long to encourage people to appreciate the
education. In 1075, the first exam was done by the order of King Ly Nhan Ton to select scholars for the office
and the later year, 1076, the Imperial Academy, the first university in Viet Nam's history, was set up for the
education of sons of royally and other high-ranking officials.
There were also many private classes taught by prominent scholars such as Chu Van An, Le Quy Don,
Nguyen Binh Khiem,Phung Khac Khoan,Vo Truong Toan... The students would only study literature and
ancient history of China, of Viet Nam for entirety of their schooling. Later on, the Public Administration
curriculum was finally added to the programme. When the Ho Royal family ruled the country, students were
taught simple mathematics.
From 1918 to 1945, Viet Nam’s education programme adopted the western education system with three
levels: elementary, high school, and college. At all levels, from 1945 the Vietnamese national language is
officially used. Students have the opportunity to learn literature, history, philosophy, law, science, math,
medicine and other languages.

Air pollution is a serious problem in many cities. Motor vehicles, factories and other sources create so much
air pollution that it may hang in the air like dirty fog. Air pollution threatens the health of the people who live in
cities. City wastes cause water pollution when they are poured into the waterways. These wastes kill fish and
make some areas unfit for swimming. In addition, many large cities have difficulties in disposing of their
garbage. The amount of garbage grows each year, but places to put it are quickly filling up. Citizens,
governments, industries, scientists, and business people must work together in different ways to gradually
reduce pollution. For example, most cities have introduced recycling programs, which cut down on garbage and
the space needed to store it. Residents separate recyclable products from garbage, and city governments provide
drop-off cities or pick up the products from homes.
