First trip to Krabi was from Phi Phi island by boat. We just got an hour stop in the town area for some pictures taking and hurry to take the mini van to Phuket to catch the show in Fantasea. I dd not see much of Krabi.
Second trip to Krabi was from Hat Yai by van. I stayed in a hotel which is just 10 minutes walk to the famous Ao Nang Beach. I was in Krabi for 4 days and 3 nights. I have more time to explore Krabi.
The sunset was beautiful. The fireworks was fantastic. 冇得頂!
Do not feed the monkeys. Unless you want the monkeys to climb over you.
Huế is a city in the central of Vietnam. It was the seat of the Nguyen Dynasty emperors and Vietnam’s national capital from 1802 to 1945.
A major attraction of Hue is the Imperial City (皇城). This is a walled enclosure within the citadel (京城) of the city of Huế, the former imperial capital of Vietnam during the Nguyễn dynasty.
The Imperial City was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993. This historical site is still undergoing restoration when I was there.
When you walk out of the visiting site, you will be encountered by locals trying to sell anything they have on hand.
The Thien Mu Pagoda (Heaven Fairy Lady Pagoda) is one of the most fascinating ancient pagoda in the Hue city. It is situated on Ha Khe hill, north bank of the Perfume River, in Huong Long village. I walked for about 5 kilometers (about an hour) from the city to reach there. After been there for about 30 minutes, I walked back to the hotel; I could have taken the boat ride back instead.
The Hue Royal Antiquities Museum is a World Heritage but I found there is no nothing much to see.
The market is on the right hand side of the the bridge when I walked from the main road. Besides vegetables and meat, the market also sells food, drinks, household items, clothing, shoes, etc. I bought a pair of Adidas shoe and some roasted Vietnamese cashew nuts through a hard bargaining process.
The city area where I stayed.
I stayed in the Amona Hotel. The check-out time is at noon but I was allowed to stay till the late afternoon for the bus come and pick me up to Da Nang, I gave the hotel a 5 Star rating in Agoda.
I stayed in the Sapphire Hotel. It is just along the walking street.
The night market
Simply local food I eat during the trip. Cheap and good.
I walked around freely and visited a few interesting places.

While I was walking towards the main road to take the bus to my next destination on my last day in Guilin, I heard a loud sound of explosion behind me. I saw smoke went up higher than the five storey building. I walked back to see what has happened and found that it was a celebration of the opening of a new shop. Too many fire crackers were used.
