Hue

We spent a rushed day sightseeing in the city of Hue (pronounced hway).

Hue was the seat of power for generations of vietnamese emporers of the Nguyen dynasty. There is a huge walled palace complex in the middle of town where the emperor lived and held court.

We also visited emperor Tu Duc's tomb, final resting place for the emperor and his 104 wives. It was as grandiose as you would expect, except for the fact that he wasn't actually buried there, but in an secret location by 200 staff members who were beheaded to ensure it remained a secret.

We also visited a very strange abandoned waterpark attraction. Very cool, if not a bit creepy.
