Hue is not a small city...being close to attractions is hard to do given that they are mostly spread out...

Inside the, I think, Palace of Supreme Harmony is this model of how the Forbidden Purple City would've looked like back when it was built in the early 19th century. It's great to study in order to get an impression of how the palace complex looked like before you visit what is left after a fire destroyed practically everything in 1947.
On the way to the Tu Duc tomb, inside the complex, you will find these 2 rows of little stone mandarins.
But wwhy so little? Well, the Emperor himself was small (153 cms) so he made his servants' statues even shorter!!
Hué has a special climat. Where in the north or south of Vietnam there is a dry season at some time in the year, in Hué it appears to be raining the whole time. Not so nice if you want to explore this lovely city by bicycle or just on foot.
Sea Cloud Pass crosses the Truong Son mountain range just over half way between Hue and Danang (it's closer to Danang), with the highway rising to approximately 500 metres above sea level at it's highest point (Ai Van Son peak at 1172 metres forms a dramatic backdrop). It's a stunning spot with spectacular views along the coast in both directions and hair-raising hairpin bend roads and slightly crazy drivers make it a memorable part of the journey!
With such views, it has been utilised in many wars - the peak formed the frontier between Vietnam and Champa in the 15th century, the French built a fort (still in evidence) and the Americans/South Vietnamese used the fort as a bunker.
Buses stop for a quick peak at the area - and you will be immediately swamped with souvenir sellers!
Sadly, my camera decided to have an off moment at the peak - worked OK until we stopped and started again after we left - so only have a couple of useable images - neither of which do it credit!
Had a great meal in cheerful surroundings. Mr Cu seems to know everyone who comes in he is very welcoming. The walls are covered with photographs Mr Cu has taken around Hue and he is more thna happy to explain them to you they are all for sale at $US1 some fantasic shots. I picked the one of the school girls because I think we saw more girls dressed tranditionally here than anywhere else in Vietnam and they all look so beautiful. There is no pressure to buy Mr Cu will allow you to look through his photo albums at your leisure. Lovely atmosphere Fantastic spring rolls
