I used to pronounce the word "Xi an" in Da Nang as Ji an, and only after I went to Vietnam did I correct my pronunciation mistakes. Until now, when I saw the word "Xian", I wanted to pronounce it "Ji an".

my first impression of da nang came from the introduction made by Xiao Zheng, a tour guide, to the group members in the terminal of Nanning T2 terminal. He talked about a lot of things, but I only remembered two. First, 1, Vietnamese dong is equivalent to about 3 yuan RMB. It is suggested that each group member exchange Vietnamese dong for 5 yuan RMB in case of emergency. You can exchange Vietnamese currency from him, and the unused Vietnamese currency will be exchanged for RMB at him when you leave the group. Second, tipping is required in many places in Vietnam. When passing through the customs, everyone should carry 1 yuan RMB in their passports, otherwise they will be in trouble (making things difficult for customs officers); After staying in the hotel, each person should put 1, Vietnamese dong on the bedside table every day, which is equal to the tip of two guests to the health service staff in 6 yuan RMB every day, otherwise there will be such problems.

Sure enough, according to Zheng Dao's reminder before entering the customs, everything went smoothly when our team passed the Vietnamese customs! In the hotel where I stayed in Da Nang for five days, one day my group members and I forgot to tip. As a result, when I returned to my room in the afternoon, I found that the disposable toothbrush and toothpaste were taken away, but no new ones were added. Hygiene is also so-so, just tidying up the bedding on the bed, and other places that should be cleaned have not moved! On the way to the airport just before leaving Da Nang, the onboard "guide" who claimed to be from Jiuzhaigou named "Ajiang" charged each group member a 5 yuan RMB tip, saying that the money was for Vietnamese tour guide xia and local drivers, and it had nothing to do with him. He also said that if you don't tip, the driver will stop at the side of the road and refuse to go to the airport. Every league member obediently submits.

In order to make up for the lack of Chinese ability of local tour guides, every tour bus in Da Nang is equipped with a tour guide from China. These people can only give explanations on the bus, and they can't be "tour guides" after getting off the bus. "A Jiang" belongs to this kind of person. After returning to Nanning, I reported this to the tour group, because the "travel contract" signed with them indicated that the fees collected included miscellaneous fees and tips. The relevant personnel of the tour group recovered the money and returned the 5 yuan RMB to me.

Vietnam is at the land, sea and air border with Guangxi. I have been to Haiphong, Halong Bay and Hanoi on business before. It's my first time to go back to Da Nang. I did some "homework" before I left, and I have expectations for this coastal tourist city. After a two-hour flight, Da Nang, known as the fourth largest city in Vietnam, appeared under the plane at about 9 pm on May 22nd (local time is one hour later than Beijing time). Looking at the night scene of Da Nang from the air, it is brightly lit and colorful, and there is still a bit of mystery in the romantic and comfortable atmosphere. The pronunciation of Vietnamese "DaNang" is close to that of Chinese "Auntie". Looking closer to her, Da Nang never looks like an aunt. In my opinion, she looks like a beautiful and friendly young woman.

The tourist bus drove into the city and looked out from the window. On both sides of the street, there were most food stalls with bright lights and many diners. Then there were all kinds of shops, among which motorcycles were sold and repaired, because most of the vehicles on the road were motorcycles, mainly Honda, Suzuki and Yamaha brands. Zheng Dao has repeatedly explained that motorcycles here are very fast, and pedestrians are not allowed. Be especially careful when crossing the road! Soon, a dragon-shaped bridge appeared in front of us. According to reports, this dragon-shaped bridge across the Hanjiang River began construction in 29, which took four years and cost 85 million US dollars. It is the only bridge built in Southeast Asia with a single arch steel structure. It is one of the landmark landscapes of Da Nang, especially at night, the bridge body is changing in various colors under the lighting rendering, which is very beautiful. Every weekend night, the mouth of the faucet will also spray flames and white water mist, which will attract many citizens and tourists to stop and watch.

In Vietnamese culture, the dragon is a totem worshipped by all the people in the world. Vietnamese people call themselves the immortal grandson of the dragon, and the buildings, costumes and utensils of Vietnamese dynasties are decorated with dragon patterns. They believe that the dragon is the most comprehensive deity, and its predecessor is snakes and crocodiles. Therefore, the image of Vietnamese dragon is abstracted on the basis of animals such as snakes and crocodiles, and the shape of the dragon bridge shows the characteristics of Vietnamese dragon. In the long feudal era, like loong, the Vietnamese dragon was monopolized by various feudal dynasties and became a symbol of imperial power.

According to xia, a Vietnamese tour guide, like other cities, people in Da Nang buy land before building a house, and people have the right to use the land they buy permanently. You can build houses at will on your own land, and you can also buy, sell and inherit. In order to build a better house with limited money, we can only save money on land purchase. As a result, people often just buy a small piece of land, and then build thin and long "slim" buildings, with the tallest residential buildings having five to six floors. In Da Nang, most residential buildings are about three floors, the first floor is a shop, the second floor is a bedroom, and the third floor is a terrace, which shows that the local people are doing business all over the country. Da Nang people have rich imagination. They paint the exterior of their houses in colorful colors. From the front, the doorman's face is not big, but from the side, it is a long external wall extending to the back of the house. At the same time, the exterior of the house also incorporates some French architectural styles. Although these residential buildings are connected, the residents are relatively dense, but the surrounding environment is quite clean, even where food stalls are eaten, there is little fishy smell of seafood and food waste.

Our hotel is near Meixi Beach. It is said that the sunrise on the sea there is very beautiful. I arrived at the seaside less than 5 o'clock the next morning. People have already started doing morning exercises at the seaside, some are jogging or running on the beach, some are dancing in group fitness, some are playing volleyball, some are swimming in the sea, and some are burying their bodies in fine sand and lying there with their eyes closed. There is no roar of machines, no impetuous noise, no pollution and garbage, and no entertainment facilities that are extremely commercialized. This is a good place for relaxing, thinking, taking a holiday and settling down. According to reports, Forbes magazine comprehensively evaluated Meixi Beach as one of the six most beautiful beaches in the world according to the systematic indicators such as the softness and whiteness of the beach, the convenience of transportation, the surrounding holiday facilities, sunshine and beach size. Da Nang has also been selected by National Geographic magazine as 5 places to visit in life, which is called "Oriental Hawaii". At this moment, I personally confirmed the authenticity of these "conclusions". I hope that with the continuous development of tourism, this small town will still maintain its simple nature and its natural scenery will remain so beautiful. Don't be like some scenic spots in China, the more mature, the more boring!

According to reports, in September 216, GallupWorldPoll formed the "HappyPlanetIndex" by synthesizing the indicators of average life expectancy, happiness survey, opportunity difference and environmental load in 14 countries around the world. According to the index, Costa Rica is the happiest country in the world, followed by Mexico, Colombia, Vanuatu and Vietnam. The average life expectancy of residents in this country is 75. At the age of 5, his happiness ranks first in Asia. Although Vietnam is a poor country, even so, Vietnamese will face life optimistically and rarely commit suicide.

camellia peninsula is located in the northeast of da nang, about 13 kilometers away from the city center. The most famous temple on the peninsula is Lingying Temple, which is located on the mountainside of camellia. On the square in front of the temple stands a statue of Avalokitesvara, the highest white jade statue in Southeast Asia, which is 65 meters high. The geographical location of Lingying Temple is very unique, and you can overlook the sea from any angle of the temple. Almost all Chinese characters can be seen on the banners and couplets on the gate of Lingying Temple, as well as on the couplets of the temples in the temple. It is said that overseas Chinese in Vietnam have made great contributions to the construction of this temple. Relevant information shows that the whole Indochina region is basically at the core of Buddhist culture, and Vietnam is no exception. Both the local Jing people and other ethnic minorities are deeply influenced by the Buddhist culture in China, and China tourists feel deja vu when they come to these places.

Huian is an ancient Chinese town. She gave me the impression that Chinese-style buildings can be seen everywhere and are well preserved. The old streets, ancient houses, China Guild Hall and covered bridges built by the Japanese in the 17th century not only show the simplicity and elegance of Chinese architecture, but also incorporate the aesthetics and values of the local people, and reflect the organic combination of China, Japan and Vietnamese cultures in architectural styles. In 1999, UNESCO listed Hoi An on the World Heritage List. According to reports, it was once a famous oriental port in history. During the period of Champa Kingdom, Hoi An was once a port. By the 16th century, it had evolved into the most important trade exchange center in Southeast Asia. In ancient times, apart from coastal defense, China people's first foothold in Vietnam was Hoi An, and Chinese in many places in southern Vietnam moved from Hoi An.

There are Europeans (mostly French), Koreans, Japanese, as well as China, with China being the largest number of visitors to the conference. There are tourists on foot, by bike and by tricycle. This kind of human tricycles can be seen everywhere in Guzhen street. Its appearance is quite special. The front is the seat of tourists, slightly lower, and the back is the position of the driver, high; Tourists sit on it and have a panoramic view. According to xia, in the 195s, the Vietnam-France War broke out, the Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte government conquered Vietnam, and Vietnam became a colony of France, so the ancient town of Hoi 'an was inevitable. With the deepening of colonial rule, the romantic feelings in French culture are also pervasive in the local area. A French couple, who just arrived here, took a walk in the ancient town after dinner. When they came to Fujian Guild Hall in China, they saw a rickshaw puller passing by. The couple were attracted by this means of transportation and insisted on going up and taking a seat. I never thought that at the corner of the street, the rickshaw collided with a speeding bike. This collision actually knocked out the inspiration of the French. What would it be like if bicycles were combined with foreign cars?

After he came back, the French drew his ideas carefully. In the design of the original drawing, the driver's seat was in front and the passenger's seat was in the back. The French wife put forward her own opinion. She thought that if the passenger sat in the back, the driver would block the front view. Why not put the passenger's seat in the front? The romantic Frenchman accepted his wife's suggestion, revised the drawings, and found a mechanic to further improve the details. When the husband and wife rode their own tricycle to show off in the ancient town, it attracted the attention of people around them. Soon, some car dealers also made the same cars according to gourd paintings, and the number of tricycles on the streets gradually increased, which has become a major feature of the ancient town of Hui' an.

There is a covered bridge on the river in the west of hoi an ancient town, which is called "Laiyuan Bridge". It is the only ancient bridge in the area and one of the landmark buildings in Hoi 'an. It is said that it was built in 1593, first built by the Japanese in the 16th century, and then rebuilt and erected by the China people in the Ming Dynasty in China. After a long period of baptism, the wooden railings on the bridge deck and the red paint on the outer wall have fallen off, and the covered bridge is slightly dim. There is a pagoda temple to the north of the covered bridge to bless the boatmen on the river. There are stone monkeys and dogs guarding the two ends of the bridge. It is said that this bridge was started in the Year of the Monkey and completed in the Year of the Dog, so it is also called the Stone Monkey Bridge, and overseas Chinese also call it the "Horse Bridge". There is a plaque above the bridge, which reads "Laiyuan Bridge" and has Chinese characters such as "An Cheng" and "Li She" written on it. In addition to most Chinese-style buildings, there are many French classical buildings and courtyard-style buildings in Hoi 'an City. Most of these French buildings are beautiful in appearance and lines, and the external walls are decorated with figures of the European Renaissance, which is of great artistic value.

There are only four or five streets in the entire Hui 'an ancient town, and it's like walking into an ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River. It is said that it has always been called "Little Lijiang". Most of the streets are tourist souvenir shops, and restaurants, bars and coffee shops are lined up. The local family inns are all three or four-storey buildings, with colorful exterior walls, blue, yellow and green, flowers and plants in front of the door, and some tables and chairs for tourists to stare blankly; It can be seen that people's lives here are very leisurely. When I visited the ancient town, I often met young men and women who took wedding photos. The couple aimed at each other with tender feelings, made eyes at each other, and made various gestures recognized by photographers. I also took the opportunity to take many photos of couples. It's pretty good to look back! In addition, the humanistic pictures captured in other public occasions during this trip were edited into the post Impression of Da Nang (1), which was published on the website of South China Morning Post, with nearly 5 hits; The number of hits of this 1-1 episode series post exceeded 62,5!

It is also worth mentioning that there is a unique "drip coffee" in Vietnam. The making of drip coffee is relatively simple. First, put some condensed milk in the cup, then add a small amount of boiling water into the leaky pot. When the water seeps into the coffee powder and leaks into the cup drop by drop, the aroma of coffee begins to spread. After about 3 or 4 minutes, fill the leaky pot with boiling water. After all the water leaks, stir it evenly with a spoon, and a cup of drip coffee with overflowing aroma is made. Compared with other kinds of coffee, this kind of coffee is more fragrant and mellow. If some ice cubes are added, the taste of this cup of coffee is softer and lighter, which is suitable for all ages. Enjoy the slow drip and slow leak of this coffee. Although it is coffee, waiting is a process of retreating impetuous and getting a leisurely mood! If you buy another Vietnamese-style sandwich "Bánhmì" (French-style baguette, with bacon and some vegetables including bean sprouts and cucumber in the middle. ), chewing slowly with "drip coffee", it is really an enviable comfort. In Vietnam, which is extremely hot, everything is like slow dripping coffee. The pace of life must be slowed down, and it is easy to sweat when it is fast.

the more beautiful it is, the more beautiful it is. As night falls, all kinds of Vietnamese colored lanterns are shining. The fabric of lanterns is mostly local silk, and the style is mainly oval grape-shaped. A string of colored lanterns are hung horizontally between buildings on both sides of the street. The stalls sell all kinds of local specialties and gourmet snacks (a major feature of Hoi An, Caol? U "high floor"), diners gather and business is booming. Looking from a bridge, there are light boats on the Qiupen River, and people put out river lights by boat, looking forward to a better life. There were tables and chairs outside a restaurant, where many European tourists were chatting while eating. We were greeted by a pretty girl standing at the door of the restaurant. After sitting down, we looked at the menu and didn't know what to say, and the language communication was not smooth. We even gesticulated to buy several bowls of local rice noodles. Before paying the bill, take a closer look. Boy, a bowl of 1, Vietnamese dong (equivalent to 3 RMB)! When she stood up to leave, the girl quickly stopped her and gestured that she was already doing it and could not "return it"! Eating that bowl of rice noodles, I feel no different from Nanning's rice noodles, but it is ridiculously expensive! This phenomenon of "carrying passengers" is not commensurate with the beautiful night scene on the street; Like hot cities and scenic spots in China, the word "integrity" is the most challenged!

There are many tailor shops in Hoi An that specialize in making "Aodai". Ode, regarded as the traditional costume of Vietnamese women, is said to be the product of the localization of China cheongsam. However, its fate is the same as China's cheongsam, and the number of people and occasions to wear is becoming more and more limited. Vietnam has
