Hue, Vietnam

Huế was the national capital until 1945, when Emperor Bảo Đại abdicated and a communist government was established in Hà Nội (Hanoi). Huế is well known for its historic monuments, which have earned it a place in UNESCO's World Heritage Sites. The city is pronounced H'way so you can imagine the away jokes were flying! We saw the Citadel, the Royal Tombs, the One Pillar Pagoda, and then had a great dinner at La Residence. A very cultural city!
