The phoenix on the roof of a building in Hue, Vietnam.
I really like these statues, which almost always depict mythological animals, and I always photograph them.
This is one of the many in the Imperial city of Hue, in Vietnam, and it depicts a phoenix and below it a dog/dragon.
I tried to search online to see if they have a particular name (like the Gargoils on the roofs of Notre Dam) but I was unable to find anything.
To tell the whole truth, they remind me a lot of the designs and colors of the Mayan statues that I saw in Mexico a few years ago in Coba (even though I know that they have nothing to do with it).

Do you know the city of Hue in Vietnam?
