Imperial City of Huè

Our second day in Huè was dedicated fully to its famous imperial city - well almost. We got up earlyish because it was about time Will completed his 5K run in Vietnam.
We walked to the river to start our run in the beautiful pedestrianised park. It was the perfect running route but far too hot.
Finished with the run we got some breakfast and coffee, purchased some extra brightening sunscreen (never try to buy sunscreen in Vietnam if you can avoid it), showered, packed our bags and made our way to the imperial city.
The imperial city is stunning, although we do find it astonishing how most of the buildings were only built approximately 200 years ago but still had to be completely restored. Will visited Huè in 2018 and pointed out several places that looked completely different now.
After having walked around all day, our feet were tired so we settled in a nice little coffee shop with aircon and WiFi before finding somewhere to eat for dinner.
We spent the rest of our evening having a few beers and waiting around for our night bus to Ninh Binh.Read more
