    Surviving a Sleeper Train Journey in Vietnam

    December 11, 2018 / 15 Comments

    Do you think you could survive a night on a sleeper train in Vietnam? I took two and learned some lessons along the way.

The Imperial City is the main draw to visiting Hue, an expansive UNESCO World Heritage Site protected by walls and moats, facing the Perfume River to the south. Once home to the country’s emperors, the Nguyen dynasty founded Hue as the capital in 1802 by . Many buildings were destroyed during skirmishes with French forces in the 1940’s and the American War in the 1960’s. While many buildings have been painstakingly restored, the effect the war had on one of the country’s most historic places can still be felt…
