Once called the Imperial City, Hue was the capital of Vietnam during the 19th century, actually from 1802 until 1945. We visited the palace of the Nguyen Dynasty -- the home of 13 emperors during that
period. Hue lies to the north of DaNang and China Beach which was a popular R&R destination for American troops during the Vietnam war or the "American War" as it is called by the locals.
