About this audio guide
This guide to Vong Canh Hill in Hue turns on a two thousand four plan to build a luxury hotel on the hilltop above the Perfume River, and the unusual coalition of historians, writers, and two ordinary residents who fought it in court and in the press. It follows the fight through the prime minister's office and a proposed second site near a royal tomb, before the investors walked away.
