Vietnam Trip Day 2 : Train Journey From Da Nang To Hue

Da Nang To Hue In 96 Seconds


Train journey in Central Vietnam from Da Nang to Hue on the 6th of August 2011. Both videos (above and below) were created using the 571 photographs I took between Da Nang to Hue in a span of about 3 hours. The one above is just 96 seconds long. The second video captures more details and is under 10 minutes long.

One of the few structures without a noticable tilt.

The image that made this Wat (and probably Ayutthaya) famous amongst the loads of tourists arriving there each day.

Nobody is quite sure how it got there. One explanation is that thieves were unable to carry it away and left it under that tree and the roots took over.

Vandalised Buddha statues at Wat Maha That, Ayutthaya. It is a big problem.
