Journey North Vietnam (Hanoi, HA long)

More North tour

The horse on the first day, I boarded the plane to fly to Beihai South to Viet Nam in Hanoi, Haiphong and Dragon.

The next day early morning departure from the North Sea, then take the 3-hour bus to Dongxing, after clearance will enter the territory of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam, and then replace the Central Viet Nam Veterans travel to Hanoi, the capital of the van.

Heading for Viet Nam border town mount Street, will enter the foothills.

The car on the road in bad repair, car body seems unbearable strain creak. The window is the Green hillside, clear channel, and fertile fields. Viet Nam has "a pole to pick up two baskets of rice" known, figuratively figures of Central Viet Nam is the "S"-shaped strip of land, and North and South ends of the Mekong Delta plain, Red River Delta plain, two granaries. Viet Nam to planting spring rice as main, is the world's third largest grain exporter. "Golden silver sea" is a Viet Nam. Viet Nam, with small, but there is a "wubo", rich in mineral resources, and precious wood and various rare animals. In the Vietnam war, the United States Army in this land of throwing a 150 million tons of bombs in world war two to three times using bombs. Although the recent war has been over a decade, but I still cannot find the trace of war: occasionally seeing a blockhouse.

The car was tossed about 8 hours, to Hanoi is the third day at two in the morning.

First state capital, the excitement of tiring journey away, I carefully taste to Hanoi. Decades of war, make this Millennium old city slightly shabby backward, but very clean. Wide streets, style of French architecture, there is a state capital of spirit. High pressure sodium lamps with a light soft orange lights quietly onto the streets of Hanoi. Automobile raced along the streets, I have a feeling of returning to Nanjing, ancient buildings, ancient streets, brings back memories of my childhood. Until you see the surface of Venus red flag, I senses themselves to the alien. The street regularly can see some motorcyclists. Boys driving land light vehicles and motorcycles, car seat to wear white Viet Nam Cheong-reserve of beautiful girls.

Our hotel is a French building, Redwood's doors, Windows and furniture, display the city's elegant.

Day off I will be outside the wake unknown bird, although only slept a few hours, but I still get up carrying a camera around a nearby. The long rain scrub to the Hanoi streets. For this just open country, Hanoi people are not accustomed to with their filming camera. When I put camera on them when they behave and not friendly.

Buses Pavilion Plaza, located at Ho Chi Minh mausoleum, is also a symbol of Viet Nam's capital, attracting thousands of tourists from around the world.

Our colleague, at Ho Chi Minh mausoleum queued into the body lying in State. As the camera cannot be brought into, so I don't have access to. Ho Chi Minh mausoleum left and right sides of five sides of various banners and CPV party flag, Plaza Central Viet Nam flag tall flagpole breeze with a huge gold star red flag. Viet Nam Communist Party flag is red, the sickle and hammer Communist Party flag a bit alike. Wearing green army assembled with tea chapter of Viet Nam's Army soldiers on duty in the square, and when the camera on them, they are shy and will face off or waved me not filming. In Tiananmen Square, the soldiers can anyone filming.

I see the mausoleum of Guard soldiers and changing of the ceremony.

Three of the people's Army soldiers walked on the road ahead, while the Tomb became slow side step forward, this is a little like the changing of the Lenin mausoleum in Moscow. Due to the on-duty soldier, I could not stand close to the subject.

I stood at the bus station square, feel the State capital of solemn and glory.

Two weeks later, the Viet Nam heads of State held a grand ceremony here to welcome Chinese head of State President Jiang Zemin.

In Viet Nam, Wo is the national flag and the flag.

Viet Nam residents may have a flag, you can see their families flag to allow people to feel the atmosphere of the Patriots, it became a King of Viet Nam. I'm in the car to see a yellow residents building, each with balcony are bright red Viet Nam national flag, red and very nice, but unfortunately the car so fast I couldn't beat down.

In Viet Nam, Wo are seldom see motorcycles, bicycles.

Their motorcycles are Honda brand. A motorcycle can block on a three or four people. This has also become a scene of Viet Nam.

In Viet Nam-brand vehicles can be seen everywhere, especially in the more famous taxi vehicles, such as Honda, Toyota, Cadillac, Mercedes-Benz, the scenery with the poorest countries formed a strong contrast.

I've seen very beautiful Viet Nam, slim build, wearing flowing Viet Nam Cheong, looks beautiful, Ann peers who envy of partners.

Occasionally seen wearing qipao drove motorcycles of Viet Nam, long black hair and fly together qipao. But more is wearing the clothes, jeans or skirt, with brown hair girl, if your walking in the streets of Shanghai, no one will suspect that she is not a Shanghai girl.

Leave Hanoi, we arranged by the tour visited a large department store has just been opened.

The shop goods and layout and Huaihai Road in Shanghai in large department stores. The shop also has a lot of television sets in China, and Korea mobile phone. Several infected with brown hair girls of Viet Nam in enthusiastically selected imported motorcycles.

Over Hanoi travel we arrived by sea down Bay.

The beauty of the Bay is the United Nations in the world cultural and natural heritage. When we take a boat tour on the sea, the sky miraculously clear up. Boat out of the Terminal, such as art as the beauty of it vision. Boat in the water, and people in huazhongxing. Sun, blue sky, green water, uncontaminated we happy mood. Halong Bay has more than 3000 Islands large and small. This island is very like China Guilin mountains, the beauty of the Bay and the Chinese called "sea" of Guilin. The island is covered with green trees, the lower portion of the small island is a marine erosion, exposing the dark gray rocks. Due to time constraints, we only tourAccess to a little island and return, I am very sorry.

In the evening, the thin high cloud at sunset mapping under bright red sunset, uncontaminated acres coconut trees, forming a very charming tropical scenery.

This time, Viet Nam, there are many regrets.

First, the Viet Nam guide is too low. Our guide is a graduate of the University has just returned from a foreign language in Hanoi for girls, although she is a Chinese Professional, and we exchange it is quite difficult. As a tour guide, explain the whole process is not, and many attractions to, but in turn asked us whether a beauty spot charges! I saw several very beautiful, tall, elegant of Viet Nam girls, but also because the speed is too fast and I was able to shoot down, in particular their motorcycle. Viet Nam Women, female militia is world famous for their bravery, and decades of war that Viet Nam population imbalance between men and women, a large number of Viet Nam women to assume the duty to fight against foreign enemies. Unfortunately I have not seen out of Viet Nam Women soldiers. Now peace came, the Viet Nam Government also significantly reduced for disarmament, to support State-building of military expenditure.

In Viet Nam border city of Mount Street, Vietnamese Chinese tour guide let's "encounter" several in Viet Nam do smuggling business overseas, "fellow-townsmen, eyes with tears".

They claim to have never been to the Chinese people losing face. In order to be able to give people real benefit, and in order to return home, they took from France smuggling to price of US $ 60 to $ 150 for the perfume of low-priced to sell. Moved, our counterparts in the five were generous, bought two bottles. Ten minutes later, we see in the store next door the same perfume bottles only sell 20 Yuan.

Because of the mount Street to Viet Nam travel agency to guide quality of service, and tour guide tricks we buy perfume a thing when you claim to have been the closing time.

Guided tours in Chinese, we finally get the consent of the border station of Viet Nam, Viet Nam went out of the gate, beilun River Bridge, walked through the middle of the River Road, beilun, Ningbo, China's side. Because of the Chinese frontier has also been shut off, we can only wait on beilun River bridge border checkpoints of leadership as we release. This one is two hours. On the bridge, looking at their own national flag, the boundary markers, but it cannot come into their own country, that there's a hard feeling really back. So the brand mates just sit on the borderline of simply on the war, I can only look up at the bridge to scenery. The original beilun River Bridge in the Vietnam war destroyed by fire, beilun River Bridge was reconstructed in 1993. This seat width nearly 10 meters, the length of about two hundred meters of reinforced concrete bridge witnessed in the rainy and sunny.

Back in the day, Shanghai is 17 February.

23 years ago on this day, the Viet Nam war in China. Because at that time the Viet Nam backward Soviet Union side, the Sino-Vietnamese relations deteriorated in 1976, the friction in the Sino-Vietnamese border. Viet Nam's army at the end of 1978 from three comprehensive intrusion Cambodia, overthrew the brutal Khmer Rouge, the further deterioration of Sino-Vietnamese relations. For the second year of 17 February morning, China self-defense against Viet Nam war, opened in the history of the darkness of a page.

Modernisation of Viet Nam, I saw China have just entered the period of reform and opening up.

Light and dark, development and underdevelopment. Viet Nam economic is rapidly developing its doors are open, while also enabling Viet Nam became the largest AIDS in Asia.

The past of Viet Nam, Plantronics that her staunch; now the Viet Nam, Plantronics her charm.

Viet Nam were proved, they are not only able to win the war, more winning economic development.
