In reply to albert. I didn't take the train there. I took the plane (nearest airport in Da Nang) and it was about 1 hour from HCMC.

Well written and nice reading never though about Vietnam like this, traveling surely removes lot of ignorance ,check this website trivago for finding and comparing hotels around the world.

The imperial city’s layout is very much similar to Beijing’s Forbidden City. I hope the government continues to restore this landmark. Hue is one of the cities heavily promoted for tourism in Vietnam.

Fantastic photos!

Yeah, we found the Citadel grounds a little underwhelming. The local Couchsurfers we met with (who showed us around a little) called them boring, heh.

Khai Dinh’s tomb (we didn’t make it there ourselves, only Tu Duc) looks incredible.

Brings back some memories 🙂 we loved visiting Hue.

Our group choose to visit one of the tombs that hasn’t been restored. It was a strange peaceful place – so still and quiet. Made us feel a little more intrepid – perhaps naively but it did!
