Ha Long Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and popular travel destination in Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam. Administratively, the bay belongs to Ha Long City, Cam Pha town, and is a part of Van Don District. The bay features thousands of limestone karsts and isles in various shapes and sizes. Ha Long Bay is a center of a larger zone which includes Bai Tu Long Bay to the northeast, and Cat Ba Island to the southwest. These larger zones share a similar geological, geographical, geomorphological, climate and cultural characters.

Ha Long Bay has an area of around 1,553 km², including 1,960–2,000 islets, most of which are limestone. The core of the bay has an area of 334 km² with a high density of 775 islets. The limestone in this bay has gone through 500 million years of formation in different conditions and environments. The evolution of the karst in this bay has taken 20 million years under the impact of the tropical wet climate. The geo-diversity of the environment in the area has created biodiversity, including a tropicalevergreen biosystem, oceanic and sea shore biosystem. Hạ Long Bay is home to 14 endemic floral species and 60 endemic faunal species.

Historical research surveys have shown the presence of prehistorical human beings in this area tens of thousands years ago. The successive ancient cultures are the Soi Nhu culture around 18,000–7000 BC, the Cai Beo culture 7000–5000 BC and the Ha Long culture 5,000–3,500 years ago. Ha Long Bay also marked important events in the history of Vietnam with many artifacts found in Bai Tho Mount, Dau Go Cave, Bai Chay.

The name Ha Long is derived from the Sino-Vietnamese 下龍, meaning "descending dragon".

Before 19th century, the name Halong Bay had not been recorded in the old books of our country. It has been called An Bang, Luc Thuy, Van Don... Late 19th century, the name Halong Bay has appeared on the Maritime map of France. "Haiphong News" published in French, has reported: " Dragon appears on Halong Bay". The story can be summarized as follows: In 1898, lieutenant Lagoredin captain of Avalangso met a couple of giant sea snake on Halong Bay three times. Not only the lieutenant but also many other sailors saw those species. The European thought that those animals looked like Asian dragon. Maybe the appearance of strange animals led to the name of Quang Ninh sea area today: Halong Bay

According to local legend, when Vietnam had just started to develop into a country, they had to fight against invaders. To assist the Vietnamese in defending their country, the gods sent a family of dragons as protectors. This family of dragons began spitting out jewels and jade. These jewels turned into the islands and islets dotting the bay, linking together to form a great wall against the invaders. Under magics, numerous rock mountains abruptly appeared on the sea, ahead of invaders' ships; the forward ships struck the rocks and each other. After winning the battle, the dragons were interested in peaceful sightseeing of the Earth, and then decided to live in this bay. The place where the mother dragon descended was named Hạ Long, the place where the dragon's children attended upon their mother was called Bai Tu Long island, and the place where the dragon's children wriggled their tails violently was called Bach Long Vy island, present day Tra Co peninsula, Mong Cai.

Fisherman's house, Ha Long Bay, Vietnam.

The bay consists of a dense cluster of some 1,600 limestone monolithic islands each topped with thick jungle vegetation, rising spectacularly from the ocean. Several of the islands are hollow, with enormous caves. Hang Dau Go (Wooden stakes cave) is the largest grotto in the Ha Long area. French tourists visited in the late 19th century, and named the cave Grotte des Merveilles. Its three large chambers contain large numerous stalactites and stalagmites (as well as 19th-century French graffiti). There are two bigger islands, Tuan Chau and Cat Ba, that have permanent inhabitants, as well as tourist facilities including hotels and beaches. There are a number of beautiful beaches on the smaller islands.

A community of around 1,600 people live on Ha Long Bay in four fishing villages: Cua Van, Ba Hang, Cong Tau and Vong Vieng in Hung Thang commune, Ha Long city. They live on floating houses and are sustained through fishing and marine aquaculture (cultivating marine biota), plying the shallow waters for 200 species of fish and 450 different kinds of mollusks. Many of the islands have acquired their names as a result of interpretation of their unusual shapes. Such names include Voi Islet (elephant), Ga Choi Islet (fighting cock), Khi Islet (monkey), and Mai Nha Islet (roof). 989 of the islands have been given names. Birds and animals including bantams, antelopes, monkeys, and lizard also live on some of the islands.

Almost all these islands are as individual towers in a classic fenglin landscape with heights from 50m to 100m, and height/width ratios of up to about six.

Another specific feature of Halong Bay is the abundance of lakes inside the limestone islands. For example, Dau Be island has six enclosed lakes. All these island lakes occupy drowneddolines within fengcong karst.

Ha Long Bay is located in northeastern Vietnam, from E106°56' to E107°37' and from N20°43' to N21°09'. The bay stretches from Yen Hung district, past Ha Long city, Cam Pha town to Van Don District, bordered on the south and southeast by the Gulf of Tonkin, on the north by China, and on the west and southwest by Cat BàaIsland. The bay has a 120 km long coastline and is approximately 1,553 km² in size with about 2,000 islets. The area designated by UNESCO as the World Natural Heritage Site incorporates 434 km² with 775 islets, of which the core zone is delimited by 69 points: Dau Go island on the west, Ba Ham lake on the south and Cong Tay island on the east. The protected area is from the Cai Dam petrol store to Quang Hanh commune, Cam Pha town and the surrounding zone.

The climate of the bay is tropical, wet, sea islands, with two seasons: hot and moist summer, and dry and cold winter. The average temperature is from 15 °C- 25 °C, and annual rainfall is between 2 meters and 2.2 meters. Hạ Long Bay has the typical diurnal tide system (tide amplitude ranges from 3.5-4m). The salinity is from 31 to 34.5MT in the dry season and lower in the rainy season.

Mọi người chỉ nói về phong cảnh , việc có thể làm, thức ăn ,...chứ không kể quá sâu về những thứ khác nha

It was a Friday morning and all members of the family got up quite early to get ready for the trip. We hired a car and drove for about two hours to arrive in Hai Phong province then got on a ferry to reach the destination. In spite of feeling a little bit tired, we got really excited when the beautiful coastline and sparkling blue ocean appeared in front of our eyes. We booked a family room in a 3-star hotel, which was pretty large and luxurious. The first activity we were so eager to experience was swimming. Unfortunately, the waves were too big for us to swim but it was fun to jump over them anyway. At night time, it was great to take off our shoes and wander along the coastline. The wind carried the distinctive smell of the sea, giving us a sense of peace and relaxation. Early on the next day, I woke up at 5 o’clock to follow my mom to the local market. We also hired bicycles to get around and explore the neighborhood, as well as find a souvenir shop to buy some gifts for our friends. On the last day in Cat Ba, my family took part in a small trip around Lan Ha bay by boat to immerse ourselves in the spectacular natural beauty here. The most interesting experience we had on the holiday was enjoying dinner on a boat. Eating fresh food on the sea when the sun came down really went beyond my expectations. After three days, we returned home but could not forget the great time we spent there. It was definitely one of the best memories of mine and my family members’.

Đó là một buổi sáng thứ sáu và mọi người trong gia đình đều thức dậy từ rất sớm để chuẩn bị cho chuyến đi. Chúng tôi thuê một chiếc ô tô và mất khoảng hai tiếng để lái xe tới Hải Phòng rồi tiếp tục lên phà để ra đảo. Mặc dù khá mệt nhưng chúng tôi thực sự phấn khích khi biển xanh lấp lánh hiện ra trước mắt. Chúng tôi đã đặt phòng gia đình ở một khách sạn ba sao, một căn phòng rất rộng và không kém phần sang trọng. Điều khiến chúng tôi háo hức nhất khi đến đây chính là đi bơi. Không may thay, sóng ở đây quá lớn để có thể bơi được nhưng dù sao cũng rất thú vị khi được chơi nhảy sóng. Vào buổi tối, thật tuyệt khi được đi chân trần dạo trên bãi biển. Những cơn gió mang theo mùi hương đặc trưng của biển đem đến cho chúng tôi một cảm giác bình yên và thư giãn. Sáng sớm ngày hôm sau, tôi dậy từ 5 giờ để cùng mẹ ghé vào khu chợ địa phương. Chúng tôi cũng thuê vài chiếc xe đạp để dạo phố và tới những cửa hàng lưu niệm để mua quà cho bạn bè. Ngày cuối cùng ở Cát Bà, gia đình tôi đã có một chuyến tham quan vịnh Lan Hạ bằng thuyền, đắm mình vào cảnh sắc thiên nhiên tươi đẹp của nơi đây. Trải nghiệm thú vị nhất của chúng tôi trong kì nghỉ này là được thưởng thức một bữa tối trên thuyền. Tận hưởng những món ăn tươi ngon trên biển vào lúc hoàng hôn thực sự đã vượt xa mong đợi của tôi.

Sau ba ngày, gia đình tôi trở về nhà nhưng vẫn luôn ghi nhớ khoảng thời gian tuyệt vời trong chuyến đi ấy. Đó thực sự là một trong những kỉ niệm đẹp nhất của tôi cũng như mọi người trong gia đình.

bạn mlem mlem đúng đấy

As I wrote in the previous post, Hue has too many monuments, too many places to visit and enjoy us. There are many ways to go places, but the way that I used to go especially rent a motorbike at the hotel, and so to walk, buy a map or ask for directions is simply everywhere can to be.

Within the scope of this article I do not intend to write about all the sights of Hue but only talked about some of the places that I like the most typical.

Unlike Da Lat, Da Lat I rarely visit the attractions, Hue has the attractions, monuments and I enjoyed almost every time I visit Hue to these places.

-

The first place is definitely the Citadel, but before talking about the Citadel, there is little point in advance because I mean by that many people often mistakenly and sometimes used interchangeably with one another, that is the problem called Citadel , Citadel and the Forbidden City.

Hue Imperial City is the whole area is surrounded by the first ring, the ring is a big flagpole wall (called America Radio). In the old days the only capital city that much (not vast immense Saigon or Hanoi style now). Next is the Citadel (also known as the Citadel) which gathered many of the imperial palace and foremost it is where people most often mixed up in the same round, actually inside the Citadel also has a ring of more , which is the Forbidden City, and that's the final round. Imperial City where I can ride the machine around, eating junk ... And with Citadel, then we must send the car and go through the Ngo Mon Gate, after passing through the Ngo Mon Gate was on the Citadel. Keep going through the Thai Hoa Palace (where the king's throne), behind the Thai Hoa Palace we will see a more rounds, that is the Forbidden City, Forbidden City want wealth, they must pass the Grand Palace Mon (major is that when the last gate we will see the copper cauldron).

The reason I am saying this because my skills on songs heard a tour guide you (do not know if it was not professional tour guides - hope not) tell guys that as soon as guests in our Southern Gate is entered Forbidden City, this is wrong because at Ngo Mon Citadel was just entering it. Hope to fewer cases of transmission of such false information again, especially as in the case above, communicated to the alien.

Thai Hoa Palace in the rain

Citadel is home to many palaces most. About here is probably quite admit that I only share my way is most effective for visiting the Citadel. Again, before you go to find out information about Hue as much as possible, information about where he would go. After a preliminary grasp palace each function was, with what historical events, then we need to have one overview. After entering the Ngo Mon Gate, Thai Hoa wealth, behind the Thai Hoa Palace is a model of the entire works of Citadel, we will look at this model to guide the whole structure of the Citadel and will easily go over .

Go Citadel follow me at least take half a day, it's going pretty fast and surfing, and go carefully, it took all day. In the Citadel very cool and my hobbies are reading countless historic Citadel, no need to bring in books, in the palace of the Citadel usually 1 corner selling books on the Nguyen Hue and they sold at prices cover should not worry. Buy a lot of then so that tour, tired, stop reading and then go forward, so that the tour will take you much though as their first go.

Take a selfie a sheet of "coarse": "& GT;

decor
After the Citadel, then to the mausoleum, the tomb which I like because which has its own history, but if I had to pick my favorite 3 mausoleum will be:

Royal Tombs in Hue (pictured is the Tomb of Minh Mang)

Tomb of Minh Mang Tomb first - this is the tomb which I consider to be the most beautiful in all of the current tomb, King Minh Mang King was one I enjoyed. Under the reign of King Minh Mang, Vietnam developed countries are very brilliant and I think he is one of the greatest kings of the Nguyen dynasty after King Gia Long (just a personal opinion). If the Emperor Gia Long built the foundation of the dynasty of King Minh Mang it was the foundation from which to develop Vietnam country into one of the major powers in the region at the time.

2nd Lang is my favorite Tu Duc Mausoleum, despite many opinions compliment criticized King Tu Duc (the reign of King Tu Duc, the French started to attack our country and colonial - history has often blamed this by king Tu Duc's incompetence). Even so I still have to Tu Duc is one of the good king. He is known for hard work to run the country, he set very early and tidal mudflats after he continued to study and approve the recital, with his criticism of the thorough, detailed details longer than both the tempo. He was also very pious mother (is she the Queen Mother Tu Du). There are many anecdotes about the hospitality of King Tu Duc meant to put them all here, but perhaps this will make lengthy, written specifically for a different occasion Tu Duc I would write this story.

King Tu Duc Mausoleum liked his poems so very charming, entered the tomb, the right to have a very romantic lake called Lake Luu Thuy Ta Well with the above (called Save Khiem Ta). I've been sitting here for hours in an afternoon rain (because there is not going to - the rain that :-D), sat imagine ancient Tu Duc also sit like that, he chose this place is so poetic and romantic, but also sad. Perhaps this is also the place where the king was sitting deep thought about their responsibility not to young river round. I remember his nostalgic words in a book: "I do my sin to let young river historical criticism."

I personally do not like the way provided all responsibility for Tu Duc, Vietnam country at that time only a single model is China, in the face a formidable foe on techniques and weapons came from the West France, being so down is inevitable and should also note that the French are not captured in our country in a day or two, but from the first day of gunfire and explosion in Danang until king Tu Duc set signed ceded three southern provinces of America to France for nearly 4 years uninterrupted. Personally I prefer King Tu Duc, but since this paper was talking about Hue should not make you much about this issue.

3rd is a steering Mausoleum less frequented, because it is too distant, difficult passages. It's Gia Long Tomb, my favorite kings of Nguyen dynasty. Want to be Gia Long Tomb, there are 2 ways, one is by hiring boats, 2 are rented motorcycles walk my way. Getting there by motorcycle more interesting but also more difficult, especially as the rainy season I went. From Tomb of Khai Dinh (I do not like this tomb), go straight to the end of the road meets the river bank turn left, so paired waterfront, on going away forever, to the right we will see a wharf, from here catch the ferry (also often must wait a long time because the boat less traveled), thereby further turn right go along the river, this time the road is the village streets only, very small but also very beautiful, just go I will always come a turnoff on the right (it is best to ask for directions because it is easy to go exceeded). From here we will go down into the tomb of Gia Long populations. There is almost no one tourism, so visitors should also little every scene not come off, but that the word "natural medicine" here is not the same as the old medicine, natural medicine that is crumbling no one managed. If any bad day there would not be anyone open to you to see the tomb of Emperor Gia Long (because the door lock, which opened is nowhere to be seen), I have to come here is the 2nd new wealth. Anyway this is a very good place to come, King Gia Long chose this location very carefully, with full conviction (the mountains in front), occiput, world s tigers and dragons land across the charming painted marine landscapes here are very nice. Visit the tomb of Gia Long and remember before you go to find out as much information about this king :)

3 steering wrote only that all were lengthy and, in Hue is still a lot of other monuments that maybe I should let people learn themselves.

Village Street in Hue

Apart from the ruins, there is a happy discovery obtained in Hue which I also love, which is running the car to wander along the streets of Hue. Suburban roads in Hue is very nice in my opinion, extremely peaceful and gentle, then fill the petrol tank every so wandering around, there is also a great fun.

decor
It was also mentioned Hue remiss without mentioning a little food.

With so many delicious dishes of Hue, Hue remember the first day, as well as luck, Huong Giang hotel that once held food festival, chefs serve the dishes of Hue, I still remember that day though ate a lot of food and I still try to eat more because too delicious, the meal that I just "is breathing" literally.

But dining in luxury hotels is not the way to enjoy the cuisine of Hue, where the fun is affordable to shop. The first item in my menu in Hue now Henm rice dishes to eat on the 2nd, 3rd new feel the uniqueness of it. Hen eating Ben Dam should go shop, I go along Le Loi street toward Vi Da Village, go at once through a dam, then turn right immediately, then go away forever until the road is about to go through one, then this shop is located on the right, the best shop.

And so the snakehead fish dishes like bread soup, bun bo bun nem Kim Long village party ... There's also tea, in Hue there are many types of tea, a haven for those with a sweet tooth like me, tea, black beans, peas green, white beans ... enough. Especially with 1 teas "monstrous" but I can not eat that many people like, that is tea Filter Quay (outside is flour wraps inside the roast Department ...: -S), generally if not try, everyone should try to know, the tui tui not eat this dish. Tea shop in Hue's most famous tea shop located on Hung Vuong Street alleyway.

Another feature of Hue cuisine is usually very little, so it's a dinner at Hue tui are: 1 bowl of rice to eat in Kitchen Hen Dam, back out to eat a bowl of noodles in asthma snakehead fish, then ran into Kim Long eat a batch bun baked rolls and end with a few cups of tea in tea alley: - | (I remember when messaging tui tui list of what you ate for him, he replied with a few simple words: eat like pigs :)))

There are many issues about food in Hue again but for all too long already, and that breaks into 2 long should still another occasion I will write more about real warm.

decor
Hue is a valuable asset of the Vietnamese State, every citizen of Vietnam, but unfortunately the way the current tourism in Hue still many things not good. Management and restoration of monuments superficial, look how people use cement bricks up into the wall, then use the red paint on the pillars scan lacquer ... aches, then cyclo guests unsettled situation, customers sometimes take a long paragraph, fraudulent business practices of some people, I know that expenses are few but will leave a bad impression in the tourists. This is what makes people love Hue sad. Hopefully the next one will have a way to manage more effectively.

I have been to many and will continue to Hue Hue more, whenever I find myself in Hue as somewhere back on the dozens even hundreds of years ago. Peace and quiet, Hue attached to my memories, simple to just to sit on the porch Hue Thien Mu Pagoda Perfume River that peaceful sight, blurred in the rain.

The first moment you touch the sea to the deep sunset. The sun is hidden in the mountains and down the vast oceans. Enjoy the sunset on the sea is a dream of many people, and now is a reality before your eyes. You Bich Hanh wrote.

Sunset at the beach to take the ship out Titop visit the "garden" of action to fascinating beauty Maze. In the journey to Ti Top island with a rock image "grows" on the water can form a giant thumb. Creator Finger islet placed here seems to want to send a message to the visitors want to talk about the good things in the journey to discover Halong. And the ship will moor here for everyone to relax after a long way.

Darling, I am being released aboard Bhaya his heart "wood flavor" before Halong fragrant immense. Halong at night is magnificent. My ship anchoring and many other ships are very calm and quiet, but the true light shines from the vessel into the water to form a sparkling city at night on the sea. He heard the sea called affordable words, words sing sea and marine lore to tell me. The legend that you're on your way to experience this place is certainly very great and I will always write the postcards sent to him and the children.

Tonight, the stars, the stars sparkle to make you feel a deeper closeness to infinity of nature, and human nature. Gentle moonlight, singing endless waves and me waiting for you to bring you salty charm of immense sea, the mysteries that you are exploring in the deep oceans. My soul very serene oceanfront tonight, around the world are watching as you, with you on the plane psychedelic wonderland with moon and stars in the real world of the famous City Lights.

Space bay with thousands of islands surrounded rolling yacht carrying mask sleeping. I lie listening to the breath of the sea, gently fall asleep feeling of deep relaxation. I promise you will enjoy all the moments here, for both you and the baby section. Brother, dawn woke up, the sun had emerged mountain, the rays sliding through your fingers and the drops of sunshine you pass on your hair, dancing on the smooth melodic wave. This is not the first time watching the sunrise over the sea, do you still have feelings seem strangely fanciful front of sky friendly young love on Halong Bay sunrise.

Dawn rising, Halong eternal beauty will remain forever fascinated than ever. "Today was a long journey that visitors satisfied to discover," she guides are drunk beautiful start to a new day excursions on the bay. I chose a seat on the balcony let drafts into the hair, sunlight caress the skin and larger eye in all directions. The ship is heading to the Gulf to fishing villages on visitors understand life here. The fishing village gathered on the waters with the support of the 200 species of fish and 400 different molluscs.

Gently down the stream, the train brought us to visit the peculiarities of Halong Bay with thousands of islands and caves: Ti Top island, dynamic Maze, Thien Cung, Sung Sot cave, Dau Go cave, Bo Nau cave, Trinh Nu ...

At this time, the ship was headed for the Heavenly Palace, one of the most beautiful caves of Halong Bay. Cave art is a unique and interesting museums is made by nature.

Thien Cung leave, you feel like you just seen an "art museum" extremely unique, sophisticated, interesting that all the gods at the hands of the Creator made, beyond the intellect and human imagination. I like just to experience the ancient legend of the Dragon King, is satisfied questions about the charming scenery in the heart of action.

We continue to visit the Sung Sot cave. This is a large cave and the most beautiful of the bay and it is also home to many islands have irregular shaped stones nowhere obtain. Sung Sot Cave Road to slip under the foliage, steep stone steps transplants, tourists just get the pleasure of climbing, the eagerly looked like walking into heaven.

I lost in the celestial realms pregnant while inside the cave and every scene, all shapes speak here as a lot of sense. The world out of the cave to return to the ship, on the face of them looked regret but can not hide the satisfaction as if everyone has to discover for himself the mystery.

When the ship returned to shore downstream, each arm raised waving with many promises. She guided the sweet voice introduction to the meaning of the unique island in the bay. Halong travel between islands with thousands of stone, I doubt as to have a fairy-tale world where petrified. The island-like someone is heading to the mainland - than a person; island is like a dragon hovering above the water - Hon Rong; island is like an old man sitting fishing - Hon La Vong; and the other two sails are turning brown muscular waves out to sea - island Sail; and two chickens were hugging each other playing on the waves - Hon Trong Mai; standing between the immense sea water a giant incense burner as something sacrifice of heaven and earth - Hon Lu Huong ... All of them are really, really amazing. Rocks and wonders that unfathomable metamorphosis over time and perspective. At this point we realized that all of them are not inanimate quiet island that are as soulful and lively. The introduction of her as if to dedicate to the heart with the aftertaste of the sea here.

"When we are in the land where only

When we go to land the soul "

(Che Lan Vien)

I'll bring her soul to give him and the children and I believe that one day is not far, you'd come back with him by themselves can only experience and more than once even though hardly anyone visited also be fully explored mysterious beauty beautiful here. Sea to sing his song endless, as the riders good message. Ha Long is so vast that anyone should make Enchanting and "wallow in nostalgia", remember when not walked away. Life is a journey, see offline Halong sea beckons sings words.

Thua Thien Hue is a province located in Central Viet Nam with 5010 KM2- in the total area and the number of population is 1.300.000 people. It borded Quang Tri Province to the north, Da Nang city to the South, and Laos to the west.

Hue is a pronvincial city of Thua Thien Hue province. Hue feature the tropical monsoon climate. So, It divided into two distinct season, the dry season from March to August is rather hot and muggy with the high temperature about 40 degree.

The raining season from August to January is likely occur flood with the average temperature is around 19 degree. As you know, Hue was political and cultural centre of the Feudal state of Viet Nam, This explains why there are hundreds of historical and cultural remains located in area. As such, Complex of Hue monuments was listed as a world Cultural Heritage site in 1993.

Hue is also known as a Buddhist Centre of Viet Nam. There are more than 300 ancient Pagodas in Hue. Among those, Thien Mu Pagoda is a oldest one with more than 400 years old.

Kinh ethnic people account for 97% of provincial population mainly reside in Hue city and coastal districts. The Vietnamese is commonly used in almost fields in the region. Beside that, there are some ethnic groups in Thua Thien Hue Territory such as Bru Van Kieu, Ta Oi, Co Tu… etc.

The fact that Hue is well-known for having the best cuisine due to its Imperial legacy when all best chefs nationwide were summoned to create a large variety of dishes as the Emperors would eat dozens of different dishes at a single meal. Any Vietnamese people will agree Hue has tastiest product from fruit and vegetables to its sea food and this might be attributed to the city’s special climate and geography.

Hue is one of the few ancient capitals of the world that maintains today a cultural heritage of national and international importance. On making Hue capital of Viet Nam early in the 19th century, The Nguyen Dynasty had constructed here a complete urban complex in which the Perfume River took a vital role.

Fortifications and palace, where the Court held office and the Royal family lived, are built on the north bank of the river. Here exist 3 walled enclosures and hundreds of palaces and buildings.

Hue is the only capital city of the Vietnamese monarchy that remains today. It was on principles of the Oriental Feng-Shui that walls and royal palaces of Hue was systematically planned an constructed.

This architectural complex faces southeast, taking the Ngu Binh Mount as a natural screen, Two islets in the Perfume River named Hen Islet and Da Vien Islet play the role of “Left Dragon” and “Right tiger” guarding the city.

The first wall, known as the Citadel of Hue, , is built for the protection of al court activities. There are 10 entrances for access. It is believed that the first wall was built on Vauban design. Its’wall 6.6m in high, 21m in thick and over 10,000 m in circumference

The second walls( imperial city) around 2400m in circumference, was the offices where manarch and high-ranking mandarins came for daily work. There are 4 antrances for access

The third wall- Forbidden Purple City, about 1200m in circumfence , is private quarters of the Emperor and his family.

And within the Citadel, the Great Encosure, which consists of the Imperial City and the Forbidden Purple city, was constructed in 1804 and completed in 1833

Situated on the front of the Imperial City, the Noon gate was constructed in 1833 and reserverd for the Emperor. It was also used as a trinbune for Court regular and irregular festive occasions such as the Calendar Distribution Ceremony, Troops Parades,etc.

To fulfill these functions, Noon gate is divided into two parts, the foundation and the Five- Phoenix Pavilion. Both are U-shaped, symbolizing arms open for guests.

The foundation has five entrances. The middle is reserverd for the Emperor, four sideentrances for other participants in the royal procession including elephants and horses.

The five-Phoenix Pavilion has two stages. The top is formed by nine roofs. The middle roof, cover with yellow enameled tiles, shelters the monarch in ceremonious oaacasions. Eight side-roofs, covers with green enameled tiles, are seats for other members of the Court.

The Pavilion is supported by 100 columns. According to Oriental concepts, 100 is an infinite and countless number.

Occupying the most important position in the Imperial City, The Palace of Supreme Harmony house the thrones seated by 13 emperors of the Nguyen Dynasty from Gia Long to Bao Dai. During Vietnam’s Monarchy, the Emperor was considered the greatest lord. The palace was thus once the country’s center.

It was built in 1805. Improvement and large-scale restoration work took place twice in 1833 and 1923

The palace, together with the Esplanade of Great Salutation, was the site for serious festive occasions such as the Conronation Ceremony, Emperor’s Birthday Anniversary and Grand meetings held bimonthly on the first and 15th days of the lunar month

On these occasions, the Emperor sat solemnly on the throne. Only his immediate relatives had access to the palace. Other mandarins lined on the Court according to their ranks and titles from the first to nineth grade. Civil mandarins on the left, military mandarins on the right.

The wooden canopy over the throne is elaborately carved and gilded. Eighty ironwood columns in the palace are lacquered and adorned with dragion and cloud designs symbolizing the rendezvous between the monarch and his subject. According to Chinese Classic, both the dragon and the number nine symbolize the monarch. This explains the presence of the nine-dragon motif in and outside the palace.

The Mieu is an ancestral temple to Viet Nam’s emperors in the imperial city. It was constructed at the order of King Minh Mang in 1822-1823 for the pupose of ancestral worship of the past emperors of the Nguyen dynasty.

Under the French colonial, Ham Nghi, Thanh Thai, Duy Tan is 3 anti-French Kings, So they were not worshiped in The Mieu. 1959, at the request of the royal family and the people, a ceremony was held to admit to the temple mortuary of these 3 kings.

Hien Lam pavilion can be considered as a memorial to those who had devoted their lives to the establishment and development of the Nguyen dynasty. Because of the holiness of the Pavilion, the Nguyen Emperors had ordered that no other construction built in the Citadel should be higher than this pavilion. That why, this is the highest bulding in the imperial city

These are the nine greatest bronze urns in Viet Nam placed in the shade of Hien Lam pavilion, In front of the The Mieu temple. They were casted by the order of King Minh Mang symbolizing the sovereignty of the dynasty.

After their casting, the nine Dynasty, the nine dynasty Urn were placed in accordance with the disposition of the altars in The Mieu temple. Cao Urn stands in the center, alone in the first row. Because this urn symbolizes King Gia Long, the first emperor and the founder of the Nguyen dynasty.

On each urn are 17 traditional Vietnamese patterns like stars, rivers, mountains, seas and oceans, valuable forestry and sea products, etc. The 153 pattern on the 9 urns constitute a real encyclopedia on the country.

As you know, Hue is also known as a Buddhist Centre of Viet Nam. There are more than 300 ancient Pagodas in Hue. Among those, Thien Mu Pagoda is a oldest one with more than 400 years old.

The name takes its source from a legend. It was told that long ago, there appeared an old woman every night on the hill where the pagoda stands today. She told local people that a Lord would come and build a Buddhist pagoda for the country’s prosperity. Lord Nguyen Hoang, on hearing that, ordered the construction of a pagoda in 1601 and named it Pagoda of the heavenly lady.

Since then, it has been restored and developed several times. Two most important restorations took place during 1714-1715 in Lord Nguyen Phuc Chu’s reign and 1844-1846 under Emperor Thieu Tri.

The pagoda area can be divided into two sectors separated by the Triple Gate. The front sector comprises memorials such as:

Phuoc Duyen tower: The tower was built by King Thieu Tri in 1844 , and has become the unofficial symbol of Hue. Each of its seven stories is dedicated to a Buddha who appeared in human form. There is a Buddha statue placed on each story, in a small arched door

On the left of the tower is a pavilion sheltering an enormous bell. The bell, called Dai Hong Chung, was cast in 1710. It weighs 3285 kg and is 1.4 in circumference, IT is considered to be an outstanding achievement of 18th century bronze casting.

On the right of the tower is a pavilion containing a stela dating from 1715. It is set on the back of a massive marbe turtle, a symbol of longevity.

When you come to the entrance, you will first meet the two corpulent, one called Benevolence(Ong Thien) who gives encouragement to good people. The other, Mr Sterness, who punishes wrong does.

Hue has sven tombs of seven Emperors of the Nguyen Dynasty, Planned and constructed in the hilly southwest of the Citadel. They have in common the following features.

The construction was started almost during te Emperor’s reign

Each tomb has dozen of splendid monuments in perfect harmony with poetical natural environment

According to Oriental outlook, life is ephemeral and dealth means returning to the peaceful and eternal world. The royal tombs are therefore the living world of the deceased.

Born in 1829 and died in 1883, Tu Duc had reigned for over 35 years since 1848, longest among rulers of the Nguyen Dynasty. His tomb, with some 50 constructions surrounded by a 1500 m long wall, was built during 1864-1867.

Emperor Tu Duc was expert at philosophy, Oriental history and particularly literature( he left 4000 verse and 600 proses) yet failed to successfully rule the country. He was crowned King in the historical period of Viet Nam facing to the Western developing capitalism. Having no son to succeed aggravated the situation and made him world-weary. To seclude himself, he ordered the construction of his tomb as a fairy land with poetical features, making it a lifetime recreation ground and a world for his eternal life after death.

Architectural features of Tu Duc Tomb are imbued with poetry and freedom. Perfect harmony is ob tained of monuments and nature or nature improved on landscape gardening, a Vietnamese form of art. And, if unsysmetry is also a specific beauty of art, then Tu Duc Tomb enjoy it.

Emperor Khai Dinh ruled the country for 9 years from 1916 to 1925. His tomb, however, was built within 11 years, from 1920 to 1931, much longer than his reign.

Under Khai Dinh, Western culture vigorously infiltrated into Viet Nam. Khai Dinh himself made a tour to France in 1922. As a result, in his tomb, several elements of the western architecture have been intermingled with the nation’s traditional art, particularly the use of concrete in place of wood, ardoise slates for roofing, iron gates, lightning rods…

Mountains, hills, and rivulets round the tomb are exploited to fulfill the feng-shui requirements thus offer the tomb a majestic environment

Unique value of art of the tomb lies with the decoration skill obviously seen in the Thien Dinh Residence. It’s interior decoration features colourful mosaics made of millions of ceramic chips.

With diligence and expert hands, artisans of Khai Dinh times have created hundreds of mosaic bas relief, all elaborate and attractive with graphic designs and arabesques despite the hardness of the materials.

In the centre of the palace is the statue of Matreya Buddha. The future successor of Sakyamuni, represented as a fat man with a bare chest and a happly smile, showing that he is free from haman cares or worries.

Last summer I had the opportunity to go to Phu Quoc. This is one of the great tourist destinations that I have been to. Phu Quoc is an island district. There are large islands here and many other small islands. I departed for Phu Quoc by plane. I booked a room at a hotel near the sea. Here I can watch the sunrise. The climate here is cool. The air is very fresh. I swim with my friends. Phu Quoc has many different beaches. If you have time, you can experience each place. The clear blue sea and fine sand are the attraction of Phu Quoc, not everywhere. There are many places to check in here. I took a lot of photos to make memories. Phu Quoc fish sauce is one of the specialties that many tourists buy as gifts for relatives and friends. Because my time was limited, I stayed in Phu Quoc not long. I think I’ll be back here this summer.

Mùa hè năm nào tôi có dịp đến Phú Quốc. Đây là một trong những địa điểm du lịch tuyệt vời mà tôi từng đặt chân đến. Phú Quốc là một huyện đảo. Ở đây có các đảo lớn và nhiều đảo nhỏ khác. Tôi khởi động đến phú quốc bằng máy bay. Tôi đặt phòng tại một khách sạn gần biển. Ở đây tôi có thể ngắm mặt trời mọc. Khí hậu ở đây mát mẻ. Không khí rất trong lành. Tôi cùng bạn bè tắm biển. Ở Phú Quốc có nhiều bãi tắm khác nhau. Nếu các bạn có thời gian thì có thể trải nghiệm từng nơi. Nước biển trong xanh cùng bờ cát mịn là điều thu hút của Phú Quốc không phải ở đâu cũng có được. Ở đây có rất nhiều địa điểm để nhận phòng. Tôi đã chụp rất nhiều ảnh để làm kỉ niệm. Nước mắm Phú Quốc là một trong những món đặc sản được rất nhiều du khách mua về làm quà cho người thân, bạn bè. Vì thời gian có hạn nên tôi ở lại Phú Quốc không lâu.

The past, I had a wonderful trip to Dalat, everything in there made me feel very comfortable. I live in Ho Chi Minh City, I often see people traveling from Ho Chi Minh City to DaLat by motorbike. However, I choose the safer option is to go by bus. If you go at night, it only takes about 5 hours to come to Da Lat.

Dịch :Vừa rồi tôi đã có một chuyến du lịch Đà Lạt rất tuyệt vời, mọi thứ ở đó khiến tôi cảm thấy rất thoải mái. Tôi sống ở Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh, tôi thường thấy mọi người đi từ Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh đến Đà Lạt bằng xe máy. Tuy nhiên, tôi chọn phương án an toàn hơn là đi bằng xe buýt. Nếu đi buổi tối, bạn chỉ mất khoảng 5 tiếng là đến Đà Lạt.

It was a Friday morning and all members of the family got up quite early to get ready for the trip. We hired a car and drove for about two hours to arrive in Hai Phong province then got on a ferry to reach the destination. In spite of feeling a little bit tired, we got really excited when the beautiful coastline and sparkling blue ocean appeared in front of our eyes. We booked a family room in a 3-star hotel, which was pretty large and luxurious. The first activity we were so eager to experience was swimming. Unfortunately, the waves were too big for us to swim but it was fun to jump over them anyway. At night time, it was great to take off our shoes and wander along the coastline. The wind carried the distinctive smell of the sea, giving us a sense of peace and relaxation. Early on the next day, I woke up at 5 o’clock to follow my mom to the local market. We also hired bicycles to get around and explore the neighborhood, as well as find a souvenir shop to buy some gifts for our friends. On the last day in Cat Ba, my family took part in a small trip around Lan Ha bay by boat to immerse ourselves in the spectacular natural beauty here. The most interesting experience we had on the holiday was enjoying dinner on a boat. Eating fresh food on the sea when the sun came down really went beyond my expectations. After three days, we returned home but could not forget the great time we spent there. It was definitely one of the best memories of mine and my family members’.

Nha Trang, the capital of Khanh Hoa province, has one of the most popular municipal beaches in all of Vietnam. In Nha Trang, nature beauties are so tempting. Waves crashing onto the cliffs; the soft sigh of the sea breeze; clean white sands and turquoise waters; it all makes for a stunning landscapes. On my visit to Nha Trang, I used to get up early each morning to stroll along the beach – a chance to breath in the fresh sea air and enjoy the sunrise across the water. One attraction that captivated me three years ago and still it does is the collection of small offshore islands. Hon Tre is the largest of the islands, and Monkey island is, as the name suggests, the home of hundreds of wild monkeys. Yen island is known for its swifts’ nests.

Nha Trang is one of the greatest holiday destination. I hope to have chance to come back
