Hue: The thinking man's city

Tue, 6 Dec 2005 | By dan_in_japan | Views [940] | Comments [1]

Well done to Hue for claiming top spot in Tinsley's best visited south east Asian city so far (sorry Hanoi). Why do I like it? To be honest, I can't really put my finger on it. There are certainly reasons to hate it, for example, each day it's rained ... Read more >
