Huế
Huế is close t
o the demilitarized zone which has seen the fiercest fighting during the Vietnam war aka the US war (that's of course the way the locals call it). Hue's main attraction is the huge citadel (UNESCO World Heritage) in the city center. In this forbidden City the Nguyen Emperors had their seat. Huế was the nations capitol from 1802 until 1945. During the war the US carpet bombed the citadel that's why they have to
restore a lot even though the buildings are not that old. But it is still a wonderful place and offers some historical insight. It's hard to believe that some 65 years ago some emperor controlled vast regions and sat on his golden chair receiving visitors. Otherwise Hue is a big lively city with some character.
