Return to Hue to love it

My Hue has two seasons each year: rain and sunshine. When it rains, the sky and earth turn white, as though “heaven dispatches its annual flood”. When it’s sunny, it’s hot enough to tan your skin. Because of this harsh weather, anyone who has lived in this land - for a lifetime, half a lifetime, or just a short while - will understand and love Hue.
