We had the opportunity to explore some true treasures of Hue that are a little off the beaten path including a colliseum arena where people of Hue's past would fight elephants and tigers (the elephants represented the monarch and the tigers represented rebellion so the elephants would always win the fight), a Japanese covered bridge situated in the beautiful, incredibly green countryside and a Chinese meeting house in the ancient part of Hue. In addition to these historical visits, we ate some yummy Vietnamese food, went to a Vietnamese/Western party at a high end hotel in town, went to English club, etc., etc. Needless to say, the weekend was action packed and enjoyable.
Below are some picture highlights from the weekend:
