The Hue Monuments Conservation Centre, a body of local authorities that manages
monuments related to the dynasty around the former imperial capital city,
regulated that visitors will have to wear decent clothing when they visiting
solemn monuments from the first day of July.
In particular, shorts, revealing skirts and singlets are prohibited in solemn
areas, including palaces in which kings once banned the entry of women and
temples where the kings and their ancestors are worshipped.
The centre provides a clothes renting service for those visitors wearing
prohibited clothing but wish to enter the solemn places, which are marked by
signposts depicting the banned clothing.
According to the centre’s Director Phan Thanh Hai, the centre had informed
travel agencies nationwide on the clothing ban, so that agencies were ready
ahead of the date from when the ban took effect.
Banning indecent clothing at solemn places of the dynasty is aimed at reducing
charges of desecration.-
