Vietnam. There is no
place in Vietnam that

many historical
vestiges as you can in
this ancient capital
city.On the northern
bank of the Perfume
River; there are lots
of palaces including
over 100 architecture
works well-reflecting

Nguyen reign. And in
the southern bank of
the river; there are
many King tombs of

take a boat tripping
along Perfume River to
enjoy its peace. You
can also stop at Hue’s
unofficial symbol -the

lying on the bank of
Thu Bon River; Hoi An
is one of the most

was one the busiest
trade centers in
Southeast Asia area

the late of 4th
century to 12th
century. There are a
lot of religious
relics here including
temples; towers known
as the best collection
of Cham art and
architecture. Each
tower worships a genie
or king of different
dynasty of Cham and
each one has different
style; such as: the
ancient style in the
7th-8th centuries; the
Hoa Lai style of the
8th-9th centuries; the
Dong Duong style from
the mid-9th century;
the My Son and My Son-Binh
Dinh style… But all of
them comprise 3 parts:
solid power base; the
mysterious and sacred
tower body and the
tower top. Though

vegetable is still
considerable and it’s
really worthy to come
