Hue's Imperial City conjures up splendors that must have boggled the mind; UNESCO's choice of this former Vietnamese capital is undisputed as a World Heritage Site. Residuals of war are quite evident, and though some capital has been channeled for restoration, nearly not enough is being done.

You haven't visited Vietnam until you spend some time risking life and limb on Highway 1. This is a scenic, if at times hair-raising, trip, passing some of the best-looking coastal and mountain regions of Vietnam.

Almost a year down the track, I still have love/hate memories of Hue. There are must-see's in terms of culture, history, and food. But what can I say; I just didn't like the "vibe" of the town itself. The sellers and cyclo drivers seemed almost desperate/aggressive, and the smiles seemed few and far between.

As the former capital of Vietnam and home to several imperial dynasties, Hue’s key sites and sights revolve around the emperor’s citadels and tombs. The citadel is a central part of the city and best explored on foot. The emperors tombs lie along the perfume river and best toured by boat.

The people in Hue are laid back, but the experience as a whole was intense: from the heat, to the food, to the crazy traffic. It's a beautiful place with truly genuine people. If you need a hug, go to Vietnam!
