Porte du Midi - Ngo Mon

Elle sert d’entrée principale et de façade de la Cité Impériale. Construite en 1833 sous le règne de Minh Mang au moment du ré-aménagement de la Cité. La Porte du Midi constitue un ensemble d’architectures diversifié, elle est surmontée de Lau Ngu Phung (Belvédère des Cinq Phénix).

Principal Gate, Hue, Vietnam

Ce belvédère a pour fonction de scène principale lors des événements de grande importance royale comme défilé militaire, cérémonie de lecture des titres de doctorat à haute voix, cérémonie annuelle. C'était sur ce belvédère, la cérémonie d’abdication du dernier empereur du Vietnam au 30 août 1945 a eu lieu.

D’après Kinh Dich-Livre de Physique Universelle, les empereurs doivent orienter  toujours vers le sud pour maîtriser l’humanité. Pour cette raison, à partir du règne de Gia Long (1802-1819), pour la construction de la Citadelle de Hué, les architectes avaient conçu tout l’ensemble des palais et bâtiments à la direction Nord Ouest-Sud Est ‘‘Toa can huong ton’’ justement pris sur l’axe Nord-Sud, c’est pourquoi l'empereur Minh Mang a décidé de changé le nom Nam Khuyet Dai (Pavillon vers le Sud) de la porte Centrale de façade de la Cité Impériale par la porte Ngo Mon - Porte du Midi.
