Citadel of the Ho Dynasty - Vietnam

Yay, I've cards from all the UNESCO sites in Vietnam!! Thanks to PV, I finally have a Citadel of the Ho Dynasty card. This site has been on the World Heritage list since 2011. 

The 14th -century Ho Dynasty citadel, built according to the feng shui principles, testifies to the flowering of neo-Confucianism in late 14th century Viet Nam and its spread to other parts of east Asia. According to these principles it was sited in a landscape of great scenic beauty on an axis joining the Tuong Son and Don Son mountains in a plain between the Ma and Buoi rivers. The citadel buildings represent an outstanding example of a new style of south-east Asian imperial city. - in: https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1358/
