Hue, ancient capitol
The weather in Hue (pronounced huh-way) was hella hot but I enjoyed the time there. The main tourist site is the impressive Citadel and Forbidden City, modeled after Beijing's Forbidden City. I loved the Chinese architecture and bright colors of this site. The entrance is also a great place to watch local people going by on bikes and motos. Another popular activity in Hue is to take a boat trip down the Perfume River to see royal tombs and pagodas. I saw my first group of monks here at Thien Mu Pagoda
and also some very lovely lotus flowers. (Are water lilies and lotus flowers the same thing?)
Hue has a really good local brew called Huda. I wonder if I can get it in the States?
