Le plan de Hué est réalisé selon une conception de Nguyen Van Yen. Les constituantes de l'ensemble urbain (Ville fortifiée, Ville impériale et Ville pourpre interdite) sont disposées selon le principe d'un emboîtement. Un axe nord-sud commande une répartition symétrique des immeubles et de leurs fonctions. À l'extérieur de la ville, en harmonie avec le site naturel, sont dispersés d'autres monuments: les tombes de la dynastie Nguyen sont des œuvres d'architecture et d'aménagement paysager considérables.
La densité des monuments urbains est grande. Trois enceintes successives structurent leur ensemble. La première, de style Vauban comme le bastion côtier, est entourée de bermes, douves et glacis (2,235 m de côté). L'architecture est chargée de symboles qui relèvent de la philosophie orientale et de la tradition vietnamienne, tout comme le sens qui est attaché au cadre naturel. La brique est le matériau principal auquel s'ajoutent, dans le cas des palais et lieux de culte, le bois des charpentes et les tuiles canal émaillées jaunes ou bleues. Jardins et vergers s'intègrent à l'espace monumental.
