The ability of the inhabitants of this southeastern independent state to behave with dignity and grandeur surprises many tourists who first come to these amazing places. And the complex names of Vietnamese attractions fascinate every European who is not accustomed to express himself so sublimely and poetically.
This country is worth visiting if only to regain the ability to enjoy the beauty of every moment of life. A vacation in Vietnam in August, despite the large amount of rainfall, will instill in a tourist's soul awe of the great past of this country, and acquaintance with modern culture will give confidence in its future.
Weather conditions in August
Unfortunately, the weather in Vietnam in the last summer month does not want to please tourists with sunny days. The rainy season comes here for a long time, thanks to the mild climate it is perceived much easier, and the tourist who is keen on exploring the architectural beauties and local attractions does not care at all.
Temperatures slowly begin to count down and are generally 1-2 ° C cooler than in the previous month. It is a pity that there is no such trend in terms of the amount of precipitation.
Journey to the Lake of the Returned Sword
There is an option in rainy Vietnamese August to follow the well-known Russian proverb, in which a wedge is knocked out with a wedge. You can go closer to the water and turn this ordinary tourist trip into a pilgrimage to the beautiful Hoan Kiem Lake.
This reservoir was named the Lake of the Returned Sword and inspired more than one generation of Vietnamese poets and artists to creative exploits. Therefore, a guest from faraway Europe should try to create a hymn to water or try to see the very sacred weapon that the Golden Turtle guards at the bottom.
The path to the Temple
Not far from the sacred lake Hoan Kiem, there is a temple with a name no less poetic. This Temple of the Jade Mountain has paths from all over Vietnam. Pilgrim poets come to honor the memory of Saint Wang Swong, who left a noticeable mark in Vietnamese literature.
Soulful holiday
It is known that the Vietnamese are very respectful of the lunar calendar, and the day of the full moon is considered almost sacred. Tourists who come to this country in August will have the opportunity to participate in the celebration of the Day of Wandering Souls. Only at first you will have to deal with a very difficult calculation, since this event does not have a specific date, but is timed to coincide with the fifteenth day of the seventh moon.
