Imperial remains
Vietnam's imperial city in Hue was once as big and impressive as the forbidden city of Beijing. Unfortunately, it suffered destruction during the Vietnam War. It is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and some areas are being restored. Others will remain in their current state. Photo taken in November 2016.

Propaganda
You saw a lot of these old-style propaganda posters in Vietnam. This one seems to be encouraging people to vote. That's something I can get behind! More signs can be found here. Photo taken in November 2016.

Lavish location
The casinos and adjacent hotels in Macau make Las Vegas pale in comparison. The decoration and spectacles are over-the-top with glitz and glam.

All that remains of the beautiful Saint Paul's church in the historic center of Macau is the facade. Unfortunately it was destroyed by fire and never rebuilt. Photo taken in November 2016.

Night Star
Anyone who has been to Hong Kong will know the famed Star Ferry that takes passengers from the island to Kowloon. It's a lovely trip to take any time of day, but especially at sunset. Photo taken in November 2016.
