A Roman-style arena where elephants and tigers were pitted against each other during the Nguyen Dynasty reign is being restored in the former imperial city of Hue.

 

The Hue administration is planning to relocate some tombs and residents' houses that encroach the arena and the Voi Re Palace. Authorities are hoping that restoring this relic cluster will preserve historic vestiges and create an attractive destination for tourists.

 

Nguyen Anh Tuan, Director of Hue City Land Fund Development Center, said that the center has measured and counted the number of tombs to be cleared in an area of nearly five hectares involving the Ho Quyen - Voi Re relic cluster.
