Hello! In this letter, I would like to thank you for organizing my trip to Asia: Hong Kong with a visit to Macau - Vietnam from north to center - Cambodia - Bangkok. Having been working with travel agencies for 15 years already, and having visited 30 countries so far (for some it’s a lot, for someone it’s not enough), for the first time I got exactly what I wanted: a professional approach and a desire to make the client happy. Thank you for understanding what I want and helping me realize my difficult itinerary, often offering the best solutions. We carefully chose a hotel for a beach holiday in Vietnam, so I note lovely hotel Pullman in Da Nang where we stayed for 5 days. It is in no way inferior to Hyatt in Bali, and I am sure Hyatt in Da Nang. The hotel has a great design, I call this design smart luxury; excellent cuisine, which is not unimportant; very good wifi for workaholics. Thanks again. I'm going to Myanmar in the near future. I will be glad to contact you again.

Andrey, thank you for your advice when planning a trip, you know Sri Lanka very well, and for the implementation of our holiday. Sincerely, Natalia Pirogova.

Breakfast in the hotel. Half day excursion to Michon.

My Son Sanctuary (Mỹ Sơn) is located in the province of Quang Nam, in the central part of Vietnam. In cultural terms, it is a very interesting example of cultural exchange and integration of Hindu architecture and sculpture into traditional material culture. South-East Asia. Michon Valley surrounded by high mountains, was an excellent place for the construction of the religious center of the kingdom of Champa. A well-fortified citadel was erected here, which had not only religious, but also strategic importance. This fortress was founded in the 4th century, when a strong influence of Hinduism entered Champa, and temples dedicated to Vishnu, Krishna and (mainly) Shiva began to be built throughout the country. The northern part of the Champa kingdom practiced Hinduism en masse. However, only the citadel itself was founded in the 4th century, and later, in the 10th century, most of the beautiful temples were built, 25 of which have survived to this day. Unfortunately, the entire complex was badly damaged during the long wars that have been fought here since the early Middle Ages. So, in the 11th century, many temples were dilapidated, and in the 15th century, the Champa kingdom ceased to exist, and Hinduism left Vietnam. However, Michon's sanctuary was so large and significant that some of its temples and towers have survived to this day, surviving, among other things, American bombings (however, American air raids caused more damage to the sanctuary than it had been inflicted over the previous thousand years). Eight groups of towers and temples of Michon, which today make up the temple complex, were built in the period from the 10th to the 13th centuries. All of them are built of thin brick with stone columns and are decorated with bas-reliefs on the theme of Hindu myths. main tower symbolizes sacred mountain at the center of the universe. Its base is rectangular and represents the human world. It was built of stone blocks and decorated with a relief. The second tier is built entirely of brick, with false doorways and rich bas-reliefs. The interiors of all the temples are simple (at least what has come down to us) - inside there are no carvings and bas-reliefs, but there are many small niches for lamps. On a pedestal in the center temple complex there is a column - lingam. She symbolized the reproductive organ of Shiva as the spiritual principle of the world. All towers are separated from the roofs by an intricately decorated border. Initially, the roofs were covered with gold or silver plates - of course, they did not reach us. The predominant architectural style here stems from the Hindu architectural tradition.

Now Michon is one of the five UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Vietnam.

Return to Hoi An. Free time for rest. Overnight at the hotel.

Meals: breakfast, dinner.

Vietnam - country amazing nature, where rocks grow directly from the ocean, and the number of tropical islands is in the tens. Tourists are offered unique architectural complexes, picturesque bay Ha Long and its two thousand islands. A tour to Vietnam is an interesting solution for those who are already bored. The best beaches of the South China Sea, located in Vietnam, have long attracted tourists who know a lot about a great vacation.

There are no pronounced winters and summers here, and the seasons are determined by the direction of the winds and the humidity of the air masses they carry.

But, at the same time, even in Northern Vietnam the winter is much warmer and shorter than in the Crimea, Sochi, Turkey.

Da Nang City is considered the pearl of Vietnam. The resort is distinguished by a variety of landscapes - from the fertile expanses of the plains to the majestic rocky cliffs and uniquely beautiful tropical forests. This is very beautiful place. breathtaking mountain ranges with deep gorges, a sandy coast and an abundance of small islands nearby, make it an excellent tourist destination. Best time for holidays in Da Nang it is May - June.

Nyachang

Nha Trang is the beach capital of Vietnam, a noisy, cheerful, full of energy and aplomb town that attracts thousands of tourists every year. Tourists come here to combine beach holiday with visits to a large number of restaurants, bars, cafes, nightclubs, discos, massage parlors and beauty salons. In addition to the beaches, you can visit amusement parks, mud baths, golf and, of course, the historical Po Nagar temple complex.

Phan Thiet

Phan Thiet has established itself as quite quiet and calm resort, around which there is sand, palm trees and, interestingly, pine trees. Thanks to the wide white sand beach, umbrellas, sun loungers and a very gentle entrance to the sea, the resort is suitable for couples with children. And thanks good waves Surfers will also like Phan Thiet.

Hoi an

This Vietnamese city has a distinctly Chinese feel to it, with one-story houses under tiled roofs and narrow streets. Endless white sand beaches, good diving and famous world heritage sites. Hoi An is sometimes referred to as a museum city under open sky. To date, there are 844 officially recognized buildings of historical significance in Hoi An.

This is one of the cultural, religious and educational centers of the country, the third largest city in South Vietnam, and also one of the most interesting in the country. It has preserved and restored more than 300 architectural structures, cultural monuments, citadels, mausoleums and palaces.

Vietnamese cuisine is original and original, but meanwhile it borrowed a lot from the traditions of its neighbors - China, India. There are many recipes in Vietnamese cuisine, especially fish, seafood, using rice, pork, noodles, where various herbs and spices are used - lemongrass, mint and others. Like Chinese cuisine, Vietnamese cooking is characterized by a contrast of sweet, salty, sour and spicy flavors. Gourmets separately note the meat of a boa constrictor and other snakes. The manner of serving such dishes on the table is very eccentric and may shock some visitors.
