I arrived in Hue at 11 am. It's a pretty small town, and there's not a lot to do. I walked over to the citadel, the walled off portion of the old city. It was big and confusing, and a cyclo driver was hounding me, so I agreed to let him drive me around. It ended up being a 3 and a half hour tour, taking in the inner citadel itself and the old town. Unfortunatly, most of the citadel was wrecked during the Tet offensive, when Viet Cong occupied the city for a month, before being driven off by the Americans (Hue is in the Northern part of what was South Vietnam).

My cyclo guy also drove me to a famous pagoda outside of town that was the site of anti-communist demonstrations many years ago. Unfortunatly, it was completely covered in scafolding, so was not photgenic.
