Great photo. It really shows the significance of the 120 stairs you must climb to visit the palace. I love Hue and all of it's history. It is too bad we Americans used the harmless, but culturally significant Citadel for bombing practice. I wonder how Americans would feel if others used the Washington and Lincoln Monuments to dump their bombs?? The Americans destroyed hundreds of years of history, on par to wrecking the Imperial City in China. However, the Vietnamese are a forgiving people, unlike we Americans. They look to the future, not back at the atrocities from the "American War".
