Vietnam: natural attractions

Eastern countries are known for their ability to create something original and surprising from simple improvised means. But on these lands, even nature itself enters into the spirit and ordinary caves become something unimaginable. This is the Shondong cave in Vietnam. Colorful pictures from the pages of magazines do not convey all the grandeur and beauty. But if you want to see something like this, be sure to pay attention to the picture of Xantum, where a similar cave was chosen for the filming (if it was not she and was!).

Shondong Cave in Vietnam is one of the largest on the planet. Just imagine a depression of 200 meters, while the length of the cave is about 9 km. The most striking is the small world inside the cave of Han Son Dung in Vietnam, which was formed in places where light rays penetrated. You go down inside, and there are real jungles! Due to the temperature difference in the river on which this cave stands, clouds and fogs are formed, which only strengthen the illusion of a small world under the earth.

What else is interesting in Vietnam?

For those tourists who try to avoid such extreme descents, there are a lot of interesting things on the surface. What is the only Museum of War in Vietnam worth! Or rather, there are two of them. In the Museum of Military History, the exhibits reveal a rather sad and even bloody part of the history of the country. Undoubtedly, fans of military equipment will be there, what to see.

But the Museum of guerrilla warfare is more popular. It is also called the Cu Chi tunnels. This is a real system of underground tunnels, where people did not just fight. There were underground cities where people made weapons, raised children and simply lived. The Americans tried to exterminate the inhabitants of these underground cities in a variety of ways, but all their attempts were unsuccessful. It would seem that you can just go down there and manually fight, but all the tunnels were so narrow that the European simply could not fit there. Currently, this place is one of the most visited, it completely reveals all methods of warfare and the way people survive underground.

The puppet theater of Vietnam on water is spectacular. Dolls have long become a visiting card of the country and all Europeans are literally openly watching performances. As a scene, use water reservoirs of natural or artificial origin. "Artists" are separated from puppeteers by small wicker screens. For tourists create short views with a full story.

The Long Sean Pagoda in Vietnam also belongs to the most visited and famous places. Practically all tourist excursions can not do without her visit. But even for tourists who prefer to get acquainted with the oriental culture on their own, finding this pagoda will not be difficult. A huge white Buddha is seen from afar. Be sure to pay attention to the architecture, which is the traditional embodiment of oriental construction and design. In the Long Son pagoda in Vietnam and nowadays there live monks, which is especially attractive for the tourist. To get there, you will have to wade through a crowd of local "guides" who practically do not know English, but strongly recommend taking an excursion. It's enough just to sprinkle a few coins on them and the barrier will fall by itself.

And these are just a few of Vietnam's most spectacular sights, without which your trip will not be complete.

Particularly noteworthy are such cities as Hanoi and Danang , whose sights will not leave anyone indifferent.
