Hue National School - The oldest highschool of Vietnam

The oldest highschool in ancient imperial city of Hue

At 5 pm, when the sunset was red on the Perfume River, we also saw many white students coming out from the gate of the oldest school in Vietnam, Hue National School.

Our days in Hue, it was in the pleasant early summer, I had to admit that the best way to see the city is by cycling around the quiet streets. Hue is something which is gentle behind the car wheels, not too many cars back and forth. On Le Loi Street is a famous National School with over 100 years old red-pink color under the green canopy.

We could only visit the school  on Saturday or Sunday, because the school only opened the door at certain hours for high school students, the rest, only a small gate open.

I was passing through this school, just as many tourists visiting this street were attracted by the beauty of the school. To say this is the most beautiful and ancient school in Vietnam I have ever seen in my life.

I studied at Highschool for Gifted Student at Hanoi while Hue National University was the leading school in Central Vietnam. This school was established in 1896, carrying the style of the Nguyen Dynasty with its long walls around it carved sophisticated and French style with two floors of red paint.

Hue National School – Royal School

The original name of the school was the École Primaire Supérieure, which is known as the Elementary College, but is often referred to as Quoc Hoc. After many renaming, the school returned to the original name of National School in 1956. Right behind the gate of the old two-storey building is a shady tree-lined road, mossy canopy, four seasons cool down the school grounds. The two-storey buildings under the green canopy, long corridors smoke hun, window frames open to sunny. The house is connected by a corridor where students relax during school breaks.

Stepping into the school yard, I was impressed by the large school yard, the green lawns, the creaky rows of chairs, the rustling meats and the cherry pink cherry bouquets last season still lingering. This season of Hue's national flower blooms in late February, early March, a pink covering the school. Then through the season, the school yard is thriving in color with purple lavender and colorful phoenix flowers, the color of the season farewell to the student days. At that time, the school yard flared up in the color of the flowers and the white ao dai as beautiful butterfly wings, in the sunshine smile of the gentle girl, but tears sparkle tears of summer tears.

The school is surrounded by shady trees.

Then, I walked down the small steps in the most ancient school in Vietnam, as if I was returning to an ancient time. There have been so many celebrities here and today, the generations of successors of the school. Hue historical rich history

In the middle of the main campus I encountered the plaster statue Nguyen Sinh Cung - Ho Chi Minh's early childhood was placed solemnly. This is where the young Nguyen Tat Thanh argues teacher for three words:

Liberty, Equality and Fraternity

As a result, he was forced out of the school, then he decided to take a trip to France to understand about three words: Liberty, Equality and fraternity in France. After 30 years of abroad, he came back and led Vietnamese People to overthrow the colonized government of Vietnam.

Then he became the first president of Vietnam.

I see the classes are very scientifically allocated. The corridors are also built high apart from outside play space.

If you come here, you will be impressed by the corridors through the arcades are built arcs, rain cover, sunshine. Behind the school is a sports field designed in the classic European style.

In any corner of this school, it was very easy to catch beautiful corners with touching scenes e. There are rows of stone benches along the path covered by crowds, ... The young people often come to take photos in the school in dressing gowns or dresses in white or purple, posing in the stone seats, doors the school room, the school gate ... is the place always produces beautiful photos that provoke many emotions about student age.

To conclude, although it was such a short visit, I highly recommend your guys to visit this place if you have time in Hue. It was such a beautiful school as It was a combinations of France and Vietnam.

Hope you have good time and nice shots there!
