Hoi An is an ancient town down the Thu Bon River, on the coastal plain of Quang Nam Province, for about 30 km south of Da Nang City. Hoi An used to be known as the international market with many different names such as Lam Ap, Faifo, Hoai Pho and Hoi An is the most common one now.

What is special about Hoi An is that this little port town is in an incredible state of preservation. It includes some of the most densely-concentrated sights in Viet Nam with its old streets which are bordered with ancient houses and assembly halls, its pagodas, temples, ancient wells and tombs. In total, there are more than a thousand places of interest. The architecture in Hoi An is characterized by a harmonious blend of Vietnamese, Chinese and Japanese culture. After many centuries, Hoi An is still respectful of its traditions, folk festivals, beliefs and of its sophisticated culinary art. Located in a quiet environment, Hoi An is surrounded by peaceful villages famous for crafts such as carpentry, bronze making, ceramic…

Researchers said that most of the buildings in Hoi An underwent restoration at the beginning of the 19th century, even if some of them might be constructed long time ago. The ancient architecture is shown most clearly in the Ancient Town that is located in Minh An Ward. It covers about 2 square kilometers and almost of all famous relics in Hoi An are gathered here. The streets are very short and narrow, having a winding, crossing as the chessboard style. The topography of the ancient town tilt gradually from north to south. The buildings in the old town are built mostly with traditional materials such as: brick, wood and no more than two floors. The trace of time is able to find not only on the architectural design of each building but also everywhere like: on the yin-yang roof tiles covered with moss and plants; the old gray mold walls; the pictures carved on a strange animal, or describing an old story… Having inherited a multi-cultural architecture which is so varied and sophisticated, Hoi An must have attracted numerous and talented workers in carpentry, ceramics, and woodcarving from China, Japan and other regions of Viet Nam.

For centuries, Hoi An had developed into a melting pot of various nationalities who came to the area, and brought along their own cultures. Accordingly, Hoi An features the co-existence of indigenous customs and habits and those imported by foreign settlers.

Tất cả các ngày lễ đặc biệt ở đất nước tôi, tôi thích nhất Tết. Tết là dịp để tất cả mọi người cùng nhau trong bầu không khí ấm áp. Trước kỳ nghỉ Tết, mọi người chuẩn bị nhiều thứ và trang trí nhà cửa. Tôi trồng nhiều hoa ở trước nhà tôi và mua nhiều thứ như quần áo, thực phẩm ...

Bên cạnh đó, hầu hết các đường phố cũng được trang trí đẹp mắt với ánh sáng đầy màu sắc và hoa. Trong dịp Tết, tôi dành nhiều thời gian hơn để thăm viếng người thân, bạn bè và đồng nghiệp. Đặc biệt, tôi trao cho nhau những lời chúc tốt đẹp nhất cho năm mới. Tết là cơ hội để trẻ em được may mắn.

Halloween is a holiday celebrated on October 31st. The most common colors of the day are orange and black. Halloween comes from the ancient Celtic festival Samhain.

The ancient Celts believed that on October 31st, now known as Halloween, the boundary between the living and the deceased is not clear, and the dead become dangerous for the living by causing problems such as sickness or damaged crops.

On Halloween, the ancient Celts would place a skeleton by their window to represent the dead. Believing that the head was the most powerful part of the body, containing the spirit and knowledge, the Celts used the "head" of the vegetable to decorate their houses.

On this day people often wear strange clothes as characters in horrible novels or movies to frighten others.

People usually like to dress as ghosts, skeletons, or witches. Now Halloween is an official holiday in almost all European countries.

The Celts cổ xưa tin rằng vào ngày 31 Tháng 10, nay là Halloween, ranh giới giữa sự sống và cái chết là không rõ ràng, và kẻ chết trở nên nguy hiểm cho cuộc sống bằng cách gây ra các vấn đề như bệnh tật hoặc cây bị hư hỏng. Ngày Halloween, người Celt cổ đại sẽ đặt một bộ xương của cửa sổ của họ đại diện cho những người chết. Tin tưởng rằng người đứng đầu là phần mạnh nhất của cơ thể, có chứa tinh thần và kiến ​​thức, người Celt sử dụng các "đầu" của thực vật để trang trí ngôi nhà của họ. Vào ngày này người ta thường mặc quần áo kỳ lạ như những nhân vật trong tiểu thuyết khủng khiếp hoặc phim để dọa người khác. Mọi người thường thích ăn mặc như con ma, bộ xương, hoặc phù thủy. Bây giờ Halloween là một ngày lễ chính thức ở hầu hết các nước châu Âu.)

 Buffalo fighting is a unique and traditional festival of people in Do Son District, Haiphong City. This festival is not only associated with Water Goddess worshiping and sacrificing custom but also expressed bravery, chivalry, and risk-taking spirit of people in the coastal city of Haiphong. The festival is annually and officially operated on the 9th day of the 8th month in Vietnamese Lunar Calendar; however, its preparation takes participants nearly a year to process. From choosing the right buffaloes to buy, raising and training them-all of which require hard work and ongoing effort. For example, selection of fighting buffaloes only must be in great meticulosity as they must meet a wide range of requirements: at least 4 or 5 years old, wide chest, bow-shape horns, toned thighs, and long tail. Also, these buffaloes are kept separately from normal ones, and so on. The festival derives from the belief of Do Son’s locals that buffalo fighting is in favor of their guardian gods and hence a continuity of this activity brings them safe voyages, abundant crops as well as healthy and wealthy people-signs of prosperity and happiness.
