Citadel of the Ho Dynasty

year of inscription. 2011

The WHS of the Citadel of the Ho Dynasty can be seen in Thanh Hoa province. Built in 1397 according to feng shui (Chinese geomancy) principles, it is testament to the historical influence of Confucianism in Vietnam. The complex is an example of a new form of Southeast Asian imperial cities: the adaptation of geomantic principles in a landscape of natural beauty, showing both Confucian and Buddhist philosophical and cultural influences.
