Hue is famous for it's citadel, imperial city and the tombs of Vietnamese kings. I visited a lot of it, being submerged in culture and history for a few days. But don't quiz me on it - I don't seem to remember half of what I have been told.
One day I also took a tour to the DMZ (De Militarised Zone) which became one of the major war fields during the war. Luckily not much is left to see today 35 years later, except that all trees in the region are less than 30 years old - telling a sad story of what this region must have looked like after the war.
