here one can find the only remaining royal complex in vietnam. it is a world cultural heritage site - by far not as interesting as the forbidden city in beijing but.... if u ever visit - here is the place to stay - cheap and very very friendly: guest house nhà khách, 4 pham ngu lao street, phone 826567
after all it was the 24th of december - that is xmas back home and the vietnamese have their xmas as well (guess the french imported it) ->
