Start at the most historic site, The Temple of Literature, Vietnam's first University founded in 1070, then head to Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi where you can find the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. From here travel to Unesco World Heritage Sites of Hoi Anh, a major international port in the 16th and 17th centuries, with foreign influences apparent to this day. Continue to My Son, with an extensive ruin from the Champa Dynasty built from the 4th to the 14th Century. Over 70 temples in various states of ruin make this a spectacular journey into Vietnam's past.

Hue's Citadel on the north side of the Perfume River is often referred to as "ancient", but compared to My Son or The Temple of Literature is actually quite young historically. It was built in the early part of the 19th Century, 1804, and was the royal capitol of Vietnam during the Nguyen Dynasty until 1945. The former imperial seat of government and Hue's prime attraction, this is a great sprawling complex of temples, pavilions, moats, walls, gates, shops, museums and galleries. The Thien Mu Pagoda overlooks the Perfume River and is the official symbol of the city of Hue and was built in 1601 although the nearly 70 foot tower was built in1844.

Throughout its history the pagoda has seen a number of activists pass thru it's gates on the way to influence many different governments over the last 400 years. There are several tombs of Nyugen emperors around Hue, the two most remarkable are Khai Dinh Tomb with it's classic formula of forecourts leading up to the tomb of the Emperor complete with incredibly detailed and opulent mosaics of cavorting dragons. Minh Mang, an regal complex with it's courtyard surrounded by warrior statues and several temples and pavilions.

REVIEW:
Discoveries Vietnam, Historic Treasures. Apr 2011. Bennett-Watt, DVD, $24.95. (9781934682661). This recently shot travel video goes beyond the usual tourist haunts to visit several of Vietnam's mostvenerated and iconic historic sites, including the Temple of Literature, Ba Dinh Square, Hoi Anh, My Son,Hue Citadel, Thien Mu Pagoda, Khai Dinh Tomb, and Minh Mang Tomb, among others. In-depth tours areconducted by guides who live in the various areas, lending an authentic voice to the travelogue; they are afont of historical, architectural, and cultural information about Vietnam. What distinguishes this travelvideo is the fluid photography and editing, and while it may lack some stylistic pizzazz, it is an excellentresource for travelers and world history buffs who enjoy armchair travels without extraneous detours.Includes subtitles to accommodate some speakers with heavier accents." Donald Liebenson, Booklist

Absolutely Luxurious — The Perfect Cozy Companion!
The black color is deep and elegant, adding a sleek, modern touch to my couch. It’s not just pretty to look at, it’s heavenly to snuggle under. Warm without being heavy, fluffy without shedding, and perfectly sized at 50" x 60", this blanket wraps you in pure comfort whether you’re watching a movie, reading, or just winding down after a long day.

Daughter loved her gift…
Color: White, Size: Travel/Throw Size - 50" x 60"
The throw came in a box; it was very heavy. I did not open the box. I wrapped it instead. It was fluffy, and beautiful! My daughter loved it, it was one of the gifts she really wanted for Christmas. It is a great throw for a couch, and I’ve been told it’s warm, comfortable, and nicely made. The value for the price was also excellent. It’s beautiful; anyone would be happy to showcase this in their living room, and of course it’s highly functional - daughter says that it is so snuggly, warm, and the size is perfect!

Lovely Throw, But Falls Short of Luxurious
I really like this two-sided throw, with its plush fur-like material on one side and silky velveteen on the other. The texture is warm and silky, and the color complements my sofa beautifully. However, while it’s a nice blanket, it doesn’t quite measure up to the same size throw I bought a month ago from a local German “here today, gone tomorrow” store. That European snuggle bundle, priced at a single Benjamin, has my entire family stealing it from one another. This throw could benefit from being a bit heavier, with a loftier fur side and thicker velvet to feel more luxurious—especially at twice the cost of the blanket we all love. ( black Friday/cyber Monday dropped it eight dollars) Without any discounts, the price feels inflated for what it is. It’s still a lovely addition to my home, but it falls short of five stars even at the discount price on the day of this review.

This throw is absolutely beautiful and so soft. It feels like bunny fur. It’s warm and cozy and perfect for the couch or end of the bed.
