Dear Linda,
Are you and your family doing well? According to the letter you sent me yesterday, I learned that you are coming to Vietnam and will be staying in Hai Duong, where I currently live. So I am writing this letter to introduce you to some famous tourist attractions and local dishes.
Hai Duong City, located in the northern part of Vietnam, is known for its rich cultural heritage and beautiful landscapes. One of the must-visit places in Hai Duong is the Con Son-Kiep Bac Historical Site. This historical site is home to the Con Son Pagoda and the Kiep Bac Temple, which are important landmarks in Vietnamese history. Visitors can explore the ancient architecture, learn about the local legends, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of these sacred places. Another popular destination in Hai Duong is the Thanh Mien District, famous for its traditional craft villages. Visiting these craft villages is not only a chance to admire the craftsmanship but also an opportunity to support the local economy by purchasing unique handmade souvenirs.
When it comes to food, Hai Duong is renowned for its delicious specialties. One of the most famous dishes is "Banh Gai," a sticky rice cake wrapped in banana leaves and filled with mung bean paste. The cake has a unique aroma and a slightly sweet taste, making it a favorite among locals and visitors alike. Another must-try dish is "Bun Ca Ro Dong," a noodle soup made with snakehead fish, fresh herbs, and rice noodles. The combination of flavors creates a refreshing and satisfying meal. In addition to these attractions and dishes, Hai Duong City also hosts various cultural festivals throughout the year, showcasing the vibrant traditions and customs of the local people. These festivals offer a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the local culture and experience the lively atmosphere of Hai Duong.
