Three, Sai Kung Kung fragment III

Third, the Sai III

Is an unexpected Prize took me to the Sai.

Viet Nam national airlines of Ms. Huang on the phone told me, "Hotel SAIGON in INTERNATIONAL HOTEL, three stars, in the area, but away from the city centre, the first area is also very near. "I started to look up information on the Internet. Increasingly understand the concept zone 1. An Sai almost all colonial splendor architecture focus area; is almost all backpackers collapsed regions; and most attractions in the region. You can see that many visitors to Saigon and they know the Kung this city is actually is only the first area, although there are a dozen Kung. No wonder to be artificially added "Oriental Paris" this creature's name.

Now, after the end of a wonderful journey, I would like to tell Ms. Huang, it could be a perfect arrangement.

From a geographic perspective, the area in the Centre of the city, while the more southerly downtown, near the Saigon River. I live in the hotel, from the first area is only two blocks, walk to the famous Notre Dame Cathedral twenty minutes. Kung Street is not spacious, but a dense, crossroads, as long as the immediately preceding a is large number of motorcycle and Horn sound interference you own quiet, Saigon is indeed a very suitable for walking the streets of the city. I travel every day, with maps, outlining Zangarmarsh, began in no hurry not corrosion.

Happens to the area, so I avoided always and everywhere backpackers, always seen only to visitors as the goal of tourist shops, and more able to see the life of the people in the city itself.

At night, just go to a street corner in the open-air bar to drink beer, as the natives sat in on a small bench and let the mind in its design, the slightest attention to watch their laughter, listen to them that too many use the guttural and nasal language, blowing forever summer breeze, feel than the REX HOTEL roof garden that world famous bar more long aftertaste.

The Church is also a lot more, temples, III at this point there is a great advantage.

The Jade Emperor Temple I also wear ½ö¹ýïï walk to. The symbol of 18 hell of beautifully arranged group sculpture works great, beautiful decor, while four of benevolence and restraining evil on Chinese couplet is straightforward and plain text. All clay sculpture bodhisattva is thick lines, including the face of the sculpture. The door has a bit of heshan Guangdong origin old Mr. amulets in writing. His brush is very poor, but also in Cantonese is quite good. He said, "I'm not out of the family. When escape from war and his family to Viet Nam, nor how much culture, but to write Chinese characters have very little, I just found this job to do. ”

In the last night, and my friends talk to one of the more authentic upscale restaurants, he said that as early as the prepared, when aircraft magazine just tore two ads, one restaurant INDOCHINE, one is the ANCIENT TOWN, is served on the former United States President Bill Clinton's restaurant before.

Two happen to have in the area, from Hotel walking distance to the absolute. Dilemma, in order to show that we are not kitsch, we chose to go to the latter.

Despite everything, the modernization of the city's corner, blinking eyes, its temptation to Sai GON III, and the Sai Kung, no decent high-rise buildings, we stayed in the hotel, although with a great name and a European-style, only three stories high.

This is so many Chinese people and superiority. But I'm not sure, Sai Kung, they really need is not something we found? — past in her body left too many traces of both proud and glorious, helpless, humiliation, suffering, one by one, Sai Kung never erase ... Many Western building rooftops, to stand a statue of the great statue of the goddess of too human ... Saigon in own way disseminated its charm. In Viet Nam short stay, I understand a truth, the quality of life, and is not cumulative quantity of life.
