Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

One of temples in royal citadel complex. As usual in Vietnam you need to be decently dressed to enter the temple.

There are actually two temples in this compound, the Thai Mieu temple and the Trieu Mieu temple which were constructed in 1804 in order to worship Trieu to and his wife, who were the first ancestors of the Nguyen Dynasty.

I was wearing shorts which did not cover my knees so remained outside!
You can see inside though. Looks incredibly beautiful and has real historic significance.

Rebuild and restored since the end of the Vietnam War, the Mieu Temple is a place to worship ancient emperors of Vietnam. It was wonderful to just try to imagine what the place must have been like when the Imperial City was at its peak - and was filled with courtesans and colorful costumes. This is definitely a must-see in Hue if you're at all interested in Hue's incredible history.

Built in 1821 under the direction of Emperor Minh Mang, this structure commemorates the previous Emperors of the Nguyen Dynasty, with portraits and shrines dedicated to each Emperor. An expansive courtyard sits in front of the Temple. The nine Dynastic funerary urns are located between the Mieu Temple and the Hiem Lam Pavilion. The center urn which is the largest, commemorates Emperor Gia Long, the first Emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty, and the creator of the Citadel. The Temple was damaged by fire, but has been beautifully restored.

The citadel is basically the main reason for visiting Hue and worth a detour. Situated within the citadel stands the Mieu temple. Unfortunately a lot has been damaged during the war.

A highlight in the Imperial City. A place to worship ancestors. Quite crowded with tourists but all are respectful about removing shoes and hats and not talking or taking photos. After visiting the temple pleasant to walk around a bit.

What I liked most about visiting this temple was the total lack of people. We biked here from the Thien Mu Pagoda which was full of tourists. But here we were left on our own to contemplate a very peaceful site. It was a temple dedicated to Confucian scholars. It is a lovely spot. There is not too much to see beyond the old entrance to the temple and the restored arcades that house the steles of the Confucian scholars who passed the National Examinations. But it is worth wandering the small tranquil grounds.

This was our last stop of our roaming around the Imperial city for 3 hours. The complex which houses the Hien Lam Pavilion, Mieu Temple and the Nine dynastic Urns is one of highlights of the Royal Imperial City. The temple is quite beautiful, there was hardly anyone around during our visit, nice to admire in relative peace.
