(Bạn hoặc 1 thành viên trong gia đình đã từng đi thăm kì quan nào của Việt Nam chưa? Hãy viết những chú thích vào bảng dưới đây. Hoặc bạn có thể viết về một kì quan mà bạn từng đọc.)

Example:

The Hue Imperial City is one of the most important centres in Vietnam. Not only is it the history of Hue but it’s also essentially the Vietnam Imperial City!

The capital of the Nguyen Dynasty was in the city of Hue. Gia Long was the first emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty who is an important character of the country’s history.The Imperial City of Hue is an complex structure you would image out. It was enclosed with a square fortress known as the Hue Citadel, and it has a wide moat surrounding.

The Hue Citadel site was chosen by experts because they believed that the Perfume River and the mountains here would protect the city as they looked like snakes and lions.

It takes a long time to walk through the Imperial City as a tourist partly because of the huge size but also because there are quite a few different sections to look at.

That’s an essential historical symbol of decades of Vietnam.

The Imperial Citadel of Thang Long through the Ly - Tran - Le dynasties was continuously built and developed. It was also the most brilliant period of the dynasties in the history of Vietnamese feudalism.

Other monuments in the Nguyen Dynasty’s Ancient Citadel include the Flag Tower, the South Gate, the Kinh Thien Palace Foundation, the Princess’s Pagoda, and the North Gate. The Flag Tower, which was built in 1812, located on the north-south axis in front of the citadel.

The North Gate, the last architecture on the north-south axis, is also the only remaining gate.It is also the place to mark the tragic imprint of Hanoi army and people in the fight against French invaders, associated with the heroic sacrifices of Governor Nguyen Tri Phuong and Governor Hoang Dieu.
