The most famous tourist site is the Citadel. This is where the king lives and also has temples and pagodas.

After Hue we went back to Danang and visited some local popular spots there.
Steps leading up to the Kwan Yin statue
We got around Hue and Danang by renting motorbikes. There were 5 bikes for the 9 of us. It costs about 100,000 VND to rent a bike, about US$5 a day. You have to wear mask because it's dusty on the country roads. We often lose each other because of the windy roads and many intersections. If not for cell phones, it'd have been very difficult to stay as a group.
A big Kwan Yin statue that was built only a few years ago. It's a prominent landmark next to the beach in Danang. At night it is lit so you can see it from far away.
In the late afternoon, we rode our motorbikes for a 30-minute ride to Hoa An. Hoa An is a seaside resort that is known for its ancient Chinese architecture.
This is where the tourist come. The shops and restaurants cater mostly to tourists.
