My UNESCO WHS List

This blog puts together some of my passions: travelling, especially to UNESCO World Heritage Sites (WHS); philately (collecting stamps); deltiology (collecting postcards); and doing research into TUIs (i.e., totally useless information) of things that interest me. Hence, it catalogues UNESCO WHS that I have been to, stamps showing UNESCO WHS that I have, as well as postcards featuring UNESCO WHS that I have received (i.e., stamped and posted) and maxicards and postal cards (both used or unused).

Citadel of the Ho Dynasty

country. Vietnam

year of inscription. 2011

criteria. Cultural

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.
