Palaces of Hue, Vietnam. Lost in time.

What is left after the Amer­ican bomb­ing of Hue is not much, but it is
still beau­ti­ful. The unique and long­gone rulers of this golden copy of
Chinese Beijing once held onto pure power. Now it is a relic of a
bygone age, well lost before the yanks power-bombed it. Viet­nam is
full of such gems, strange vis­it­ors from the past of this most
facin­at­ing of countries.
