Drivers will we sent to lang son a van, tell us here is to Hanoi's car, the result is an old Ford car, old levels, filled with summer's pillow, or Zhejiang Dongyang production, in my hometown of next door! until five o'clock departure, hungry, in a circle around to see the whole pig, or the whole chicken whole duck, supermarket even soul nor, finally see those selling rice flour, rice flour are stacked like Hill, dirty ...

For me this pick people, really is a turnoff, due to the fasting has existed for a long time, or try the results inside the vegetables don't know is why wild herbs, soup and a feather Duck feather odd, its ate little, quickly paid leave.

Would like to mention two countries border residents ' life, we have no specific zone, but from their housing construction, Pingxiang residents still have a certain income, basically every household is 4 storeys tall House; enter Viet Nam, where the inhabitants are basically small house, or at least looks or the soil of China seventies to Lang Son House, before a little better, the House also has distinct features of Viet Nam, but its volume is probably the only 1/3 of Pingxiang.

From lang son to Hanoi, drivers in lang son turned over an hour until all positions have been filled, began to go to Hanoi.

Road traffic is good, is one of the best in Viet Nam highway. Viet Nam is very passionate guy, and we chat, but they are not a word of English will say that gesture we all do not understand that there are Chinese, do business in Viet Nam, speak fluent Vietnamese, help us tell the driver to go to Kiem annex to find live, finally they sent to Kiem about Northeast, says walk you will find many overseas Chinese Guest house opened, after some bargaining power, we think it's too expensive, and finally a taxi to go to the introduction of online Sports Hotel, said to be US $ 8, and as a result, there has risen to 14 dollars, we decided to look at the room, the last mentioned 12 dollars, live.

We first went to fight animal farm, there have been two hundred years of history, is France's invasion and Viet Nam, the ruins left behind. To get there, but we see two visitors, not find one, and there are several peddleSmall items of small boys and girls, are native. Then go to the elephant's rest, because there is an introduction to the Guide, or learn a little about how elephants here. Like the also has largely consisted of, if not the Guide, I will not go there again. Then go to a temple, there are monks, just a push from the time we get to hear, where the relative number of some visitors, monks chanting, I do not know what to say, I do not understand of twittering.
