Central Vietnam - Da Nang - Hue - Hoi An - Cu Lao Cham

Aug 30 2013 - Sep 02 2013

Destination :  Ho Chi Minh -> Danang ( 1 hr flight)-> Hio An, Cu Lao Cham Island, beaches along the east coast. Walled city near Hui, a chinese temple to the west. Passed through the longest tunnel.


Blue sky , elevated motorway and sand bars rolling  hills.

This place offers a nice view of the faraway bay. Have not figure out ( cant read) the sign post what was the background of this location.) I found familiar berries ( same one in Mt Kinabalu) and  yellow parasites vines here too.
Another view of the bay.


This is  plant which was harvested to be distilled into fragrant bottled product.

The distiller in action.

We bought one bottle but was confiscated during boarding. No check in luaggage to hid them.
Pineapple decorated beef on a stick.
The van drive bought us to a temple visit in mid noon sun
The temple is situated west of the walled square city. The clustering on left mid side of the GPS image above.

Not many visitor....
Pomelo peeled away to reveal the color

Not langsat but individual seeded 'rampai'?
Trishaw two pax to one to the walled city tour.
We make the mistake of not bothering to go inside the palace to see. Instead we opt for the sweet coffee / beer stops.

Painted tree trunks along the road. A common sight.

Our trishaw passes under and behold there are green  beans over head.
GPS trail of the  trishaw ride around the square walled  Imperial city, Hue.

Looking from the outside and wonder how does it look inside.


More view

It was warm circulating the walled city on the trishaw.

Street view
Truck loaded  with tree trunks stripped off bark.

Nice but not sweet. The coffee corner guy sharing his pomelo with us.

Sandy bar...
