Cửa Ngọ Môn (Meridian Gate)

©

Cửa Ngọ Môn (Meridian Gate) is the most significant of the five gates leading to the Imperial City, reserved exclusively for the Emperor, while servants entered through the two side gates to the left and right of the Noon Gate. This U-shaped gate stands 5.2 meters tall at its highest point and features a two-story structure, with the pavilion on the second floor serving as the Emperor’s throne. Although the Noon Gate was nearly destroyed during the war, the diligent efforts of the restoration team have allowed this architectural masterpiece to be preserved and admired today.
