Huế, Vietnam /part two
Story, and photography by Mai

Huế is in central Vietnam, between 1802 and 1945, it was the imperial
capital of the Nguyễn Dynasty. It was where the last emperor hailed
from, but notice those years, some of that time France ruled Vietnam.
It is also well-known for its fantastic cuisine, it is said that the
royal cooks were instructed to create diverse and pleasing meals for
the discerning emperors and so they created fantastic regional dishes
like bun bo huế, com hen (pictured), and nem nguội.


Boulevards are large surrounding the Citadel, so bikes fill the roads
and the flatness of the terrain makes biking easy. Most of these
photos were taken around the Huong (Perfume) River or the Citadel.

Every once in awhile there is talk about getting rid of cyclos, it
implies a certain lifestyle, but tourists like their quaint touch too
much.
