After our arrival in Hue we had lunch with a local family (I should probably rephrase that to feast), followed by some first sightseeing with the Thien Mu Pagoda being our first stop. This historic temple dates back to the early 17th century, the pagoda is (based on wikipedia) is the tallest religious building in Vietnam.

After our visit we boarded a boat to make the trip back on the perfume river. After our downtown arrival and a short walk back to the hotel, I ventured out for another walk around town – making my way towards the Dieu De Pagoda. I walked back through the citadel – and made it back to the hotel just after dark.
