An Independent Trip To Northern Thailand & Vietnam, Part Eleven: From Da Nang To Huế, 23 March 1996

Drove from Da Nang to Huế – beautiful drive including Hai Van Pass and Lang Co Island.

Vistas on the way to Huế

Arrived in Huế – unloaded/rested then good lunch followed by tour of citadel, Thai Hoa Palace, mandarin halls, dynastic urns etc.

Then on to Tu Duc Tomb – (1864-1867). Excellent home/tomb with ponds etc.

A tomb with both a view (above) and a theatre (below)

Spent the late afternoon by the pool etc. – evening meal in restaurant

I think we stayed at the Century Riverside and we probably ate in the restaurant there…actually, on reflection I think we ate in Lac Thanh, following the strong recommendation of the guide book.

All the photos from that Central Vietnam part of our journey can be found through the Flickr link here or below.
