photographie-irie > Arched Walkway, Imperial City, Hue, Vietnam      A full day can easily be spent wandering to and around the walled Imperial City of Hue, just north of the Perfume River from modern day Hue. Ten huge gates provide access to this aged city, home to many interesting attractions including 9 Holy Cannons that were used to defend the palace, the Imperial Enclosure where official Emporor business was conducted, the Palace of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of the Mandarins, and the Purple Forbidden Palace reserved for use by the Emperor himself and mostly destroyed in the Vietnam War. Here we see Greg from South Africa relaxing as is so easy to do in the many peaceful settings within these huge walls. Most Vietnamese who encountered Greg treated him as their most handsome idol, with his combination of red bushy hair, beard, and pale complexion that Vietnamese found so unusual and attractive.
