Hue Citadel and food tour

We arrived in Hue (pronounced hway) - the old capital of Vietnam and the seat of the Nguyen dynasty. We went to the old city Citadel and marveled at many palaces and temples, while learning about the 13 Nguyen emperors that ruled from 1802 to 1945. Even though it was a pouring rain, we still very much enjoyed the Citadel. Especially the intricate ceramic decorations. Interestingly, there were no ceramics produced in Vietnam, so they used broken pieces from Chinese and European ceramics! In the afternoon we went on a Hue food tour, and especially enjoyed the market visit where we bought a delicious custard apple!Read more
