The relic is a place to preserve the history, culture, spirituality and memories of a nation.
Therefore, the regulation requiring tourists to wear polite clothes and not dress revealingly when entering the inner sanctuary and places of worship is necessary, civilized and worthy of support.
Those are not strict regulations, let alone restrictions on personal freedom, but preserving the solemnity of places of worship and standard behavior in a special cultural space.
In recent years, along with the development of tourism, public opinion has expressed disagreement many times when images of some tourists wearing clothes that are too short, revealing, posing offensively at temples, mausoleums or places of worship appeared.
Some people consider it normal, citing that "dressing is an individual right". But the freedom of each person always needs to be exercised within the framework of respect for the community and common cultural values.
A suitable outfit does not lose anyone's personality, but it shows respect for the place you are setting foot in.
This is not only in Hue or Vietnam.
Temples in Japan, Thailand, Cambodia or Indonesia and many other countries all have very clear regulations on costumes.
At many famous temples in Thailand, visitors wearing shorts or tank tops will be asked to change clothes or borrow scarves before visiting.
These are regulations that have become civilized practices and are respected by international tourists.
The Hue Ancient Capital Relic Complex is a World Cultural Heritage recognized by UNESCO. The value of this complex lies not only in the palaces, tombs or royal architecture but also in the cultural space, beliefs and rituals that have been preserved through many generations.
Such a place needs to be treated with proper attitude.
Tourism is not just sightseeing but also learning how to behave with the culture of the place you come to.
Therefore, appropriate dressing, speaking and behavior, tourists also contribute to beautifying their own image.
A discreet outfit when entering a place of worship is not a constraint, but an expression of respect.
A gentle word in the inner hall does not spoil the joy of the tour, but enhances the beauty of culture.
And when every visitor is aware that heritage is a common property that needs to be preserved, the historical and cultural values of the ancient capital of Hue will continue to be passed down intact to future generations.
