South travel insurance to witness a true Viet Nam (part five article 6 days)

Sixth day: morning Hanoi, Pavilion Plaza at the ceremony, visit Ho Chi Minh mausoleum, Ho Chi Minh's former residence, military Museum (flag Tower), sword Lake in the afternoon continue also, 36 Street, with the spring market shopping, near Hanoi Cathedral.

Today we travel to Hanoi in the Pavilion area visit, here is the seat of the Government of Viet Nam States, equivalent to Beijing's Tiananmen Square and the seat of the Zhongnanhai.

In order to be able to see in the Pavilion Plaza, Viet Nam's national flag-raising ceremony, we got up early, CGS Mengmeng bright grin spread kunyi climbed up, had breakfast in hotel (and similarly in Viet Nam rice flour plus porridge), drove to.

But we arrived at the bus station Plaza flag-raising ceremony when nearing a close, the flag has risen, is the national flag of honor class.

We are on the square in front of the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum photo, after also in Ho Chi Minh mausoleum, visit.

As Ho Chi Minh mausoleum also wait an hour before the door opens, we begin to walk to the bus station square, near the oldest temples in Viet Nam — — single-column Temple visit.

Single-column temple as the name suggests is a pillar of the temple hold up, have a thousand years of history, was built by emperor Taizu Lee. Single-column temple area although is very small, but the eyes of the people in Viet Nam has a lofty position, when the first and fifteenth here are many pilgrims incense.

From single column temple we walk to the Ho Chi Minh's former residence, this is also the seat of the State Council, Viet Nam.

The following figure, this figure is Viet Nam State Office building.

This is the way in Ho Chi Minh's former residence and buildings.

The following figure of the Automobile Museum are on display in the 1950s heads to Viet Nam former President Ho Chi Minh, Viet Nam in the early days of poverty, national exceptions cannot be the production of cars, even the national Chair by car are the heads of the donation.

The following figure this second layer of high foot cabin is at Ho Chi Minh President's residence.

In General, Ho Chi Minh's former residence in landscape very beautiful, warm and quiet, there is a large artificial lake, green tree complements the huts along the way, the road is full of tropical plants, where walking is enjoy!

Visit the former after Ho Chi Minh, almost to the door of the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum, we line up on the day after the security check, becoming the first to enter the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum internal visitors tourists.

Ho Chi Minh mausoleum's appearance in front of the picture I have show you. Enter the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum is to first of all, through the security check of the tourists of all electronic devices are confiscated, cameras, camcorders, cell phones, etc. are to be taken in, are not allowed to take photographs inside the mausoleum and the video.

Through the security check, we followed the crowd slowly entered the Tomb, the place is very small but it is the cold pressing, this is not the manufacturing of air conditioning and natural.

It is said that all Ho Chi Minh mausoleum is used inside India produced natural gem inlaid, these gems to create a natural "limbo" so that it can play a role in saving the coffins. Enter the address in to the tombs, we just walked around in a circle, place small most only 60 square meters, the median is a sunken open and placed in a stone coffins, sleeps one person above (I'm sure it should be a sculpture, made of what is not clear), stone coffins four corners have a soldier standing guard, tourists are not close to the stone coffin, can only be seen through the railing. As people we must go out, the entire visit process less than 3 minutes.

Then we walked to the nearby military Museum of Viet Nam.

Viet Nam is a war trauma, Hanoi is also a war is a profound mark on the city, the military Museum of nature is a must for every visitor to the community.

Military Museum is divided into the outdoor exhibition area and indoor Hall two departments (front page of the photo is the outdoor exhibition area), where tourists can clearly understand the Viet Nam war vicissitudes of history. We are now imagine, when the people of Viet Nam is to use the old bike keg shells on the front of the people to play with the United States, a dozen is 20 years!

US military aircraft bombing Hanoi, the capital times, the entire city into a clearing, it left a figure of this flag Tower.

Hanoi people swear to defend then this flag Tower, their slogan is "flag in the Tower of Hanoi,!" in flames, rolling smoke will have smoked black tower, tower still stands tall banner, the flag remains high, the US imperialist aggressors shows the Viet Nam national spirit and soul!

Although the war had already gone, standing in front of flag Tower I seem to be able to feel the cruelty of war, to defend the country against Viet Nam people's dignity against external aggression and heroic sincerely respect!

In military museum I also saw a car, but unfortunately it is not possible to buy it back.

If you can open in Shanghai in the streets of a such a car, really super pull the wind Ah! haha!

Military Museum after the visit, ArvinMeritor also especially took us to the Chinese Embassy in Viet Nam.

It is said that the Chinese Embassy in Viet Nam is all the more national embassies stationed in the largest, stretching a street, but the floor is very short, maximum of two floors, this may be all the characteristics of the Embassy, in order to prevent the target too high vulnerable to attacks.

At this point, our team of travel has been all over; after lunch, we begin a true sense of the free line, no wonder then accompany our tour guide, we have to go around Hanoi.

Last night's shopping desires to have not met yet, we decided to return to the City Centre also sword Lake 36 rows along to play, let drivers and guides the way drive us to also sword Lake, and they temporarily parted. Free line follow before said OK, we want to take a taxi or a motorcycle to play, the travel agency is no longer assumed our car, accompanied by a tour guide also no longer. Consider today is a special day, December 31, 2009, the people of Viet Nam to new year, had a late tonight back into the hotel, go to may not call a taxi, and take a taxi, you might as well make a car now, heart, like pay anyway. After deliberation, our drivers willing to earn tips, weIntended for his car, a total of four individuals to give him $ 100 RMB, and so we play well, or we are in the car and the driver then we now take us back. In this way, the driver and tour guide ArvinMeritor simply does not go, they parked the car in Kiem nearby car park, near here, too, and we played together back in the evening.

Real free line began, we came last night stroll along the 36 rows, only one or two last night shopping street, continue shopping trip.

Viet Nam's exquisite handicrafts, paintings, lacquer painting, art works too let people like that I have always been good this estuary, this will be like fell into the honey jar, happy! 36 rows along really messy, originally we have mood took the map the map, and finally throws open the map, simply to go where the operator where! anyway, this area shops, a House to a House, full of shops, have visited; go tired everywhere can see small ambience of the Café, go in for a cup of coffee taste a little dessert then stroll ...

Along the way, we want to see with the spring market, according to the strategy on a targeted specifically at Hanoi locals shopping sites, things are very cheap, off the map view from 36 street not far away, can walk past, so we walked all the way to ask, it is hard, the map is in English, the road is full of Viet Nam, go over to find a will English ask where at the moment, and then walked over and then find someone to ask where, finally let a travel agency staff to help us put the map around with spring market a few street names are translated into the language of Viet Nam, and all the way to find in the past, all in all seven of the eight turns, turns out it is not far away, but come looking for it took quite some time, and finally came to the market with spring.

I was surprised, not to be shocked! while watching Raiders said here is a rundown of the market, mainly in Hanoi locals in this shopping, not for visitors of shopping; here's purpose may not be true, but shopping for a taste of the old streets of the city of Hanoi taste! we have prepared, but the later or shocked, here is basically like a gate of chicken farmers ' markets, and the dog to jump, fly at sixes and Sevens, noisy freak, the shop is also twisted twisted seven, eight have piled indiscriminately.

Do not dare to go in, that is at the door station a few minutes, I have a strong feeling like is going to be robbed, everyone has a strange eyes looking at us, I don't dare took out his camera filming machine (sorry, can not be for everyone to see photo), because I am worried that my camera was snatched away ... Not to mention the girls, even our line of the two men also felt very afraid, companions all said, we'd quickly run away, it too is not working properly ... But we just managed to come here, don't go see? while we hesitated, then there are two foreigners backpackers, Europeans (I used to have them call the foreigner, in fact, we here are foreigners), they should openly into the same spring market. This scene has given us a little encouragement, rushed, so come on in and take a look, even the foreigner can enter, we do not dare, if money was also robbed of their first, they take us more of us! we after some want adventure impulses and fears of kink, decided to go in and look; I also proposed for security reasons only entrance and nearby shops around not to in-depth market inside, if there is risk there fled and more quickly, unanimously endorsed. We have a road, there is still the market is a mess, the channel is extremely narrow, booths and stalls can be passed between even sideways. Not far from the entrance has a booth at the booth was a shisiwu-year-old girl in Viet Nam (only one girl), which makes us feel more secure, this girl can speak English, her stand on a lot of fine arts, we purchase in her here. Here's a very cheap price, arts and crafts than our 36 rows before shopping street, the same thing at least half the price is cheap. I bought a Viet Nam characteristics of lanterns, as long as 60,000 Viet Nam shield (equivalent to 21 million). Here I also bought a nice paint box with six coasters, prices are as long as the shield of Viet Nam 60,000 (equivalent to 21 million). As with the spring market too bad shopping environment, we still do not have the courage to stay here, but it is indeed quite cheap, but that is the cheapest market in Hanoi; if visitors can stand, here you can buy what you want any Viet Nam travel souvenirs.

But we cannot adhere to it, or to withdraw, leaving the booth girls in Viet Nam, please help us to call a taxi and talk about good price, we then went to Hanoi Cathedral, near the Church Street and Church Street, is the Occidental relative gathering place, West restaurant border are, many fashion shops, shopping with characteristics of the environment is good, of course, price is the price of super expensive, than 36 rows neighborhoods twice as expensive.

Hanoi Cathedral looks very strange, this is the largest Catholic Church in Hanoi, appearance was made black, looks old.

We here at a nearby Church Street and Church Street, has been around in the evening, is here to find a home environment good restaurant to eat dinner.

Time running out (we booked cars were back to hotel at nine at night), we go back to the Kiem Lake here and meet the driver and tour guide ArvinMeritor, go back to the hotel to rest.

Today's harvest, purchase a lot of fine arts and crafts.

But this also had a very unpleasant thing I must mention, my travel experiences to share with you all do what we want to go a few because the Ho Chi Minh City tourism and did not go into almost and tour Arabic noisy up broke. This, the still mentioned earlier, the first before the North Sea travel agency Liu deceives us say our visa only to Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, can go to the South. We were with a grain of salt until starting in Mount Street crossing is good for us to handle Aling visa, we see only after confirming the Liu Hao was lying, our visa can go to any place in Viet Nam, stay for a month. Visa is like this

In Mount Street

When we confirm transit deceived, then just like that so you can go to Ho Chi Minh City, visa is, why not drop by to Ho Chi Minh playing days! wait to Hanoi, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, can be booked directly from flying to Ho Chi Minh City tour for two days. Tourist guide-language know we're going to Ho Chi Minh City idea (now it should be a North Sea travel and Viet Nam travel agents colluded with good), in order to prevent us from going to Ho Chi Minh City, ArvinMeritor from Mount Street transit has been holding our passport does not have to give us (he was helping us to do the "double check" in the second time after the visa and passport custody by his uniform), in fact, the way we have been asked ArvinMeritor to Passport, can he find a variety of reasons lying to us without your Passport, first said he came to help us provide Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh's return air ticket, air tickets reservation, we just need a passport in Halong Bay enjoyed, he helped us on the phone to solve airline tickets, passport, his uniform custody; later led us on that side of the storm, the city plane fly no flights (he lied level is too low, we already know Ho Chi Minh City, now is the dry season, foretold), and then later told us it was new year's day new year, air ticket booking not and so on ... Before you get to Hanoi, we only experience judging language in lying, and there is no conclusive evidence. Viet Nam's underdeveloped tourist information, before you get to Hanoi, we can only listen to one person say ArvinMeritor is nothing, because there is no network, no radio, television could make no sense, no newspapers or other media can learn a little about the weather, flight information.

To Hanoi, the situation is completely different, here is the capital of Viet Nam, English-speaking people in relatively more, 36 rows along many Trevel (Travel Club) and airlines shoupiaodian, today we stroll along this line 36, found several Hanoi local travel agents and airlines shoupiaodian asked, reaffirmed our visa can go to any place in Viet Nam, Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi round-trip air ticket is quite adequate, and there is more than one period of flight can choose.

We then call the ArvinMeritor to airline ticket window, he clearly we are going to play, now Ho Chi Minh City is your Passport to give us good tickets.

ArvinMeritor see never cheat, this is with our Viet Nam travel showdown, told him to think of ways to stabilize our some visitors that don't offend nor can we put us to the Ho Chi Minh City.

Two reasons: first, the travel agency to guarantee that our security, frequent Chinese guests take advantage of the free line time secretly went to Ho Chi Minh City play a month back, if there are any accident, their travel agency is responsible, in order to prevent the escape of tourists, travel agents are usually collected off the tourist's passport. Secondly, we travel through China Beihai book Viet Nam travel confirmation of itinerary is arrived at Hanoi, trip do not arrange to Ho Chi Minh City for pleasure, so they offer is based to Hanoi's quote, if you had to go to the itinerary, the price of Ho Chi Minh City will not be is now such a cheap price. If we now want to change the trip to Ho Chi Minh City, first to notify the travel agencies in China in the North Sea, and then we will which by ArvinMeritor provides Hanoi Viet Nam travel round Ho Chi Minh City tickets, their travel agency quoted price is 2500 RMB per person (this is extortion, airlines shoupiaodian ourselves with Passport directly booking price only 1200 RMB per person, Viet Nam travel to on make money).

We are angry, face to face with ArvinMeritor noisy, but is unable to communicate with everyone thinking too far.

It is our understanding that we are the free line of guests, we just took the whole car, drivers and tour guides, Viet Nam travel agency cannot interfere in our travel free, we want to go in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, is our freedom, our own decision. To ArvinMeritor's understanding is that we are a row of four separate missions, although only four people is also a small mission, all to the team's itinerary, we provide trip before departure is to Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City without saying, so now we can as scheduled in Hanoi free line, Passport routinely by the tour guide to custody; if you want to change the trip to Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam travel change will press the itinerary mode of operation, as they offer plus money.

In short, our quarrel to finally unable to reach a consensus, ArvinMeritor insists on not giving us passport, we certainly won't get killed by his offer to pay double the money to Ho Chi Minh City.

We broke up. Of course, we also can take extreme forms brought back the passport itself booking flying to Ho Chi Minh City, we can assure the Embassy of the people's Republic of China in Viet Nam, the guide is not entitled to alert the detention guest's passport, but we thought that we were to travel not to fight, even if we use extreme styles have their own passport to fly to the Ho Chi Minh City, according to the calculation of the time we returned home, most can only in Ho Chi Minh City for a day and a half (this time it seems too short), it is better to give up the idea of going to Ho Chi Minh City, comfortable stay in Hanoi tour, then have the opportunity to travel to Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam is good fun.

All in all, this thing let us very angry, in the final analysis, the first North Sea travel agency Liu Hao deception and deceit of the ArvinMeritor, although all the way and didn't give us any actual loss, but their behavior we felt wohuo.

The purpose of their partnership spoofing is simply want to earn some money, but finally did not earn a penny, their brains special rigid, it can be said to be causing harm to others and not egoism; we stayed in Hanoi free line they also is not possible to earn money. I wonder if they are too stupid, or we are so smart, sometimes clever nor is it a good thing, saw each other all the tricks but provoked their not happy!
