When to go to Hue?
Hue was the Nguyen capital, and the Imperial City still holds its moat, its gates and its walls of red and gold lacquer. Boats go up the Perfume River past the tower of Thien Mu Pagoda to the royal tombs, each built to a different taste: the lakes and pines of Tu Duc, the mosaic of Khai Dinh, the symmetry of Minh Mang.
