Hué is a city not to be missed on your journey throughout Vietnam. Boasting a patchwork of imperialism and French colonialism you will find yourself delving back hundreds of years as you explore the legacy of war and a dynasty spanning 13 generations. 

It’s a fascinating place. Quite beautiful as you find beaches and a river in the same city. Over a 3-4 day visit you can take your time meandering by bicycle through the countryside discovering historical relics and pagodas dating back to the 18th century. You will be charmed by the river, the paddies fields and local museums, plus you will gain a whole new perspective of some of the hardest fought battles in the American war.

On the show you will learn the difference between the north and south; the best accommodations to enjoy the beautiful sunsets the city is renowned for; the best food to try, and some old local stories handed down over the years. 

My guest is Norwegian born expat Anders Krystad who found his new home in Hué nearly 20 years ago. He took it upon himself to write a very detailed guide book just prior to Covid, which is the reason why I knew he was the right person to talk about this famous city. Anders lives with his  family in Hue and through in his involvement with local football he is a strong advocate for the city as a tourist destination.

 If it’s history you are into, then this show will give you some context to some of the major attractions and sites in Hué that you won’t want to miss.
