Royal Arena
Hue
Central region
Aug 2002

The Royal Arena in Hue. Oddly, the ruins of the arena are on the outskirts of the city in a residential area, surrounded by houses. A man had to move stuff out of the road so we could drive our van up to the entrance. Hard to find and not commercially exploited yet. Until 1904 elephants and tigers were fought here for the entertainment of the emperor and high ranking officials.
