Scenic train trip from Da Nang to Hue.
• Guide & driver grabbed us at train Stn - good because it’s really hot here.

• Visited Minh Mang Temple - Minh Mang Emperor reigned 1820-1840.
• Enough of temples! Took photo but didn’t actually enter of the tomb of another emperor - Khai Dinh penultimate emperor 1916-1925 & widely seen as a puppet to the French. Temple completed in 1931 being the final architectural build of Nguyên dynasty.
• Abandoned water park - closed in 2006 due to conflict between owners & Buddhist religious leaders. Fabulous relic made famous recently for internet posts.
