Hue is a greta village if you are into teh whole history scene the imperial palace is quite interesting so is teh pagoda in which the dude who poured petrol on himself, protesting against teh war in teh vietname war. his car, in which he drove to saigon in remains in its own garage , viewed by tourist. there is a wonderful restaurant mentioned in the lonely panet which is run by an deaf man and his daughter teh food is fantastic and both the man and his daughter are very hospitable.
