Initiated by the state government of Guangxi Province, the primary objective China-Asean International Touring Assembly (CAITA) is to promote the overland connectivity between China and ASEAN countries. Dubbed as the harmonious modern “Silk Road” as well as the “largest, broadest and longest automobile assembly race in Asia”, it is one of the main events leading to the annual China-ASEAN Summit that will be held in Nanning City, China .

Day 9, Danang to Hue 5th Sep 2012
This morning, only half of the participants opted for
sightseeing tour to My Son Sanctuary – a UNESCO World
Heritage site.
The other half chose to enjoy the facilities in the hotel and preferred a later check-out. It was understandable because the resort-style hotel which we stayed at Da Nang can said to be the best accommodation that we had during the entire Rally.
From Da Nang, a 2-hour drive took us to Hue. Interestingly, Vietnam had been ruled from Hue from1802 till 1945. We were also told that the folks living in Hue are the most laid back people in the whole country.
