Wednesday 11 December
I spent most of the day
going round the citadel – Hue’s version of the Forbidden City, built by the
Nguyen emperors who were somewhat taken by China. Unfortunately the area was
badly damaged by the French - and by the Americans during the Tet offensive.
There is now a good deal of restoration work, which is a bit of a misnomer as
it often means a complete rebuild.
On the walk back to the hotel, I got a good view of the Perfume River and came across a strange sculpture park on the embankment.
