The Meridian gate serves as the main entrance gate to the Imperial City of Hue. In front is the moat that surrounds the Imperial City, which was modeled after the Forbidden City in Beijing, with many Chinese influences throughout.
The Imperial City, inside the Citadel, was constructed in 1803 under Emperor Gia Long as a new capital. It mostly served a ceremonial function during the French colonial period and was heavily damaged during the Vietnam war. The Meridian gate is one of the structures miraculously spared from the intense bombing during the Tet offensive in 1968.
The Imperial City was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993.

My garden gate I created last year. I enjoyed the light in this one. My garden is my little place of peace and grace.
Jongmyo Shrine, Seoul, South Korea
Jongmyo is a Confucian shrine dedicated to the perpetuation of memorial services for the deceased kings and queens of the Korean Joseon Dynasty (1392–1897). According to UNESCO, the shrine is the oldest royal Confucian shrine preserved and the ritual ceremonies continue a tradition established in the 14th century. Such shrines existed during the Three Kingdoms of Korea period (57-668), but these have not survived. The Jongmyo Shrine was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1995.
Jongmyo is adjacent to Changdeokgung and Changgyeonggung in the south. They used to be connected in the Joseon period, but were separated by a road built by Japanese colonialists. Nowadays there is a construction plan to recover the original structure of the shrine. The main buildings of Jongmyo was constructed in October, 1394 when Taejo, first king of Joseon Dynasty, moved the capital to Seoul. It was destroyed by fire in the Japanese invasions of Korea (1592–98), then rebuilt in 1608.
