| Description |
English: PLEASE, no multi invitations (none is better) in your comments. Thanks.
Dominating the skyline is the 37m (120ft) high Cot Co or Flag Tower, first erected in 1809. Cot Co achieved international renown on the morning of 31 January 1968, when communist forces seized the Citadel and ran their yellow-starred banner up its tall mast. For the next 25 days the Viet Cong flag fluttered defiantly as US Marines and South Vietnamese soldiers fought house-to-house to retake the city. During this brutal struggle Hue was battered by heavy machine guns, rockets, bombs, napalm, artillery fire and even naval bombardment, causing immense destruction. Further damage ensued following the collapse of the south, as symbols of Vietnam's royal past were left to decay by the victorious communists--a policy which changed sharply in 1990, as the potential for tourism was realised. In 1993 UNESCO declared Hue a World Heritage Site, and currently restoration and conservation work continues. Hue, Vietnam |
