A little stroll on Vọng Cảnh Hill


Sunset (and maybe sunrise too) is the best time to take a stroll on Vọng Cảnh Hill from where you can have the best view of fabled Hương River. Tiên, my friend, enjoyed her little walk on the pine hill last weekend when she came back to Huế for a family visit between her career break in Sài Gòn. And there on Vọng Cảnh Hill, she ran into the sweet-and-acrid ‘sim’ berries from her childhood. Sim plants whose flowers are purple and thin are normally found on the hills and you can see the berries most in summertime. When I was a little kid, my mother bought sim for me from the local market. Sim berries are still my favorite but their violet juice is troublesome as it can color your mouth. Who dares to smile and show her teeth after eating a handful of sim?
