Revealing the real Vietnam French style is very different from what you think
In recent years, due to the improvement of people's material conditions, many people like to travel on holidays, and some people also want to experience foreign cultures. Vietnam is right on the border with China, and many people travel to Vietnam because the cost of living there is not high.
Many people's image of Vietnam is that it is a poor and backward country, what is the real situation?We can get to know the real Vietnam through the example of Ho Chi Minh City. Ho Chi Minh City, one of the strangest cities in Vietnam, is the strangest thing about its French style, and many people will ask questions.
There are many local farmers' markets in Vietnam, and there are many markets here, which is due to the abundance of fruits and vegetables there, which are our main food every day. In fact, there are many Chinese in Vietnam, and it is common for some Chinese to do business in Vietnam. Most of those Chinese live in the south of Vietnam, with Ho Chi Minh City having the largest population.
According to rough estimates, there are about 100,000 Chinese living and working in Vietnam, so if you go to Ho Chi Minh City for sightseeing, you may wish to ask the local Chinese for help. There are also many Chinese here, who have set up stalls in local shopping malls and can communicate with them in Chinese.
Vietnam was once a French colony, and the colonial rule that ruled the region for a long time has deeply affected the French character of Ho Chi Minh City. They assert their dominance by propagating their own civilization and forcing the local population to adopt their own culture.
Due to the erosion of foreign cultures, Ho Chi Minh City already has a taste of the French. Due to the influence of French immigrants, the local architecture here has a strong French color, and the most popular French buildings have been preserved.
For example, the French love to drink red wine and coffee, so we can see many coffee shops in Ho Chi Minh City, and the locals also love to drink coffee, and most of the locals will have a coffee in the afternoon. Of course, this publicity also has its positive effect, as more people drink more coffee, Vietnam's coffee growing industry has also grown, and local economic growth has been boosted.
However, French architecture is much more beautiful, and in Ho Chi Minh City, we can also see many European buildings. These are the products of French immigrants who have transformed traditional Vietnamese architecture into ruins. In Ho Chi Minh City, there are also many churches left behind by French immigrants.
As we all know, many European countries have the Xi of going to church. After the Vietnamese immigrants, the French also planted many churches in the area. After the withdrawal of the colonists, the two churches were preserved and served as landmarks in the city. It is said that the French invested a lot of money in the construction of these two cathedrals, as they used local wood and stone, and tried to maintain the French style.
Although Ho Chi Minh City has been deeply influenced by French culture, this does not mean that it does not have its own cultural characteristics. Because they are in the tropics, they still maintain their national costumes, and many of them wear pointed hats on their heads, which is also a unique sight on the streets of Ho Chi Minh City.
Vietnam's economic development level is not high, mainly due to the relatively simple domestic economic system, which originally mainly relied on its own agricultural development, until it was integrated into the world of the world, the tourism industry began to rise, so that the domestic economic situation has been greatly improved. However, the development of China's high-tech industry is relatively lagging behind, and this situation will be difficult to reverse for a long time.
Vietnam itself is a relatively backward country, so the development of transportation is far less than that of China, the domestic mode of transportation is still dominated by motorcycles and bicycles, and the national car is one for every household. However, with the rapid development of tourism, the country's urban construction has also improved a lot. For example, there are many high-rise buildings in Ho Chi Minh City, and most of them are concentrated in urban areas and other places.
Outline. Vietnam is also a country dominated by agriculture, the vegetation here is very rich, there are many unique foods, and we can see many very delicious local dishes on the streets of Vietnam. Since the purchasing power of the locals is relatively low, they can eat it in large quantities.
