1 man, 1 city, 3 trades. Renown photographer Justin Mott explores the trades of a bygone area in the city of Hue, once home to Vietnamese royalty. The city is known for three once-dominant trades of Vietnam: traditional incense stick making, pottery and fishing. This episode sees Justin traveling across Hue in search of adventure as he delves into a Vietnam untouched by the modern tendrils of time.
