Day 9 photos

Last day in Vietnam! The bus took us on a three-hour journey from Hue to Hoi An, a UNESCO Worl Heritage Site. It used to be an important trading port, and so there are a lot of Chinese and Japanese influences in the architecture of the town. After lunch, we tried our hands at lantern making. Finally, it was time to make our way to Danang Airport, and we took a SilkAir airlines plane back home.

Everyone came back safely, both happy to be back home and sad to leave behind such a friendly and beautiful country.

Flying back home

This will most probably be the last update on the blog post before we fly back to Singapore. Tomorrow, we'll be doing a whole day of touring in Hoi An town, before flying off from Danang Airport on Silk Air. Our flight is MI633 and we're expected to touch down at 10.15pm (local time) Monday evening.

See you soon!

We're in Hue today. We visited the Citadel at Hue, the imperial capital of the Nguyen Dynasty, and also the tomb of Emperor Khai Dinh, the 12th emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty. At night, we had a cultural show where we dressed up in the robes of the Court during the Nguyen Dynasty. Here are some photos:

We've arrived safely in Hue.

The weather over there in Hue is about 20 degree celcius. We just had a good breakfast at our Camellia Hue Hotel. It is raining over here. We are going out to buy ponchos so as to continue our fieldtrip over here. Professor Do Bang, President of the Hue Historical Association on "Nguen Art & Architectural Styles and Education under the Nguyen Dynasty" will be giving a lecture later. We will be visiting Imperial City and Forbidden Purple City.
