As a travel enthusiast, I've always been on the hunt for the underexplored gems of the planet. Vietnam, a country in Southeast Asia, with its unique culture, scenery and cuisine, formed the theme of my trip. For me, travel is a magical power that transforms the unfamiliar into a place where my heart belongs. In Vietnam, every corner is full of stories, and every taste carries history.
Choose to set foot in late autumn and early winter in a country surrounded by rice paddies, mountains and coastlines. My trip to Vietnam was from north to south, and I was prepared with plenty of travel information and learned some basic Vietnamese in the hope of becoming more deeply integrated with the local culture.
In Hanoi, lost in the old town where the smell of coffee and the noise of the street market are intertwined, I shuttled through the space baptized by the thousand-year-old history, and felt the slowness and vitality of the city. Every morning, the Tai Chi exercise scene I saw on the shore of Hoan Kiem Lake made me feel the profound influence of Eastern philosophy on the daily life of the locals.
When I traveled to Ha Long Bay, I not only looked up at the magnificent landscape of thousands of stalagmites jutting out of the turquoise waters, but also paddled on the quiet sea at night, and the tranquility under the stars made me awe of the magic of nature.
Arriving in Ho Chi Minh City, the fusion of modernity and tradition is on full display. Experience the speed change from motorcycle trends to market hustle and bustle, reflecting the unique vibrancy of the city.
Vietnam's tourism industry is experiencing rapid development, bringing tourism benefits but also challenging the local ecological environment and cultural characteristics. **How to achieve sustainable tourism while maintaining economic growth has become an important issue of this era.
In Vietnam, I experienced the warmth and simplicity of Southeast Asia. From baguette sandwiches prepared by street vendors to traditional Vietnamese spring rolls in family restaurants, each feast for my taste buds gave me a more direct appreciation of Vietnam's passion.
A trip to Vietnam is not only a feast for the eyes and tastes, but also a journey deep into the soul. Here, I found a balance of living in harmony with nature, and also witnessed the glorious intersection of history and modernity. It taught me that even in the midst of a dynamic process of modernization, ancient traditions can be preserved and respected. I bid farewell with deep gratitude and respect for Vietnam, because it has given me not only the scenery in my memory, but also the tranquility and understanding in my heart.
