Sometimes you can see extraordinary things with your own eyes. For example, in Vietnam, this South Asian state, there are French-style houses. This fact will not surprise connoisseurs of history, since the territory of Vietnam is a former French colony.
In addition to the European architecture itself, the French flair is preserved, especially in the famous resorts, which any tourist who chooses a vacation in Vietnam in October can feel. And besides that, get acquainted with the beauties of national parks, feel the breath of history on the ruins of temple complexes and taste the most delicious rice in the world.
October mood
The weather conditions for the central month of Vietnamese autumn are characterized by variability. The rainy season is drawing to a close, however, it is still a long way from the beginning of the dry period. The real masters of October are the sun and heavenly water; they alternately try to scare away tourists with either excessively high temperatures or heavy showers.
The temperature column froze at around +30 ° C, and if it starts to move, then, to the chagrin of tourists, only up. Combined with high humidity, such weather conditions are not very favorable for the elderly and young children. Therefore, this category of travelers should choose to visit Vietnam in a more favorable period.
Thaibin is calling
Vacationers in October should make a trip to Thaibin, if only to participate in a unique event - the Keo Pagoda Festival. This beautiful religious building resembles a lotus flower and has 120 rooms. It was built by a local monk using the money he received from local residents for medical treatment. Once he was lucky enough to heal the emperor himself, whose gratitude was immeasurable. Now the Keo Pagoda is the main attraction of Thaibin.
Nature miracle
This is what the locals call Halong Bay. They are fully supported by the guests of the country who saw this miracle. This unique cove is part of the Gulf of Tonkin. And its name is translated from Vietnamese, as the place where the dragon went to sea. According to the beliefs of local residents, this fabulous monster still lives at the bottom of the bay. The number of small islands that are visible from the water exceeded three thousand, and one of them was the official residence of the former ruler of the country. For its unique landscapes, works of art created by nature itself, the bay is included in the UNESCO list.
The largest island is Catba, almost half of it is occupied by a national park. Lakes, waterfalls, grottoes and coral reefs in the coastal area - everything is on this small piece of land. Many of the caves on the island have beautiful poetic names, such as the Heavenly Palace or the Drum, so named for the sound of the wind, similar to the drumbeat.
