Charms of Vietnam
We decided to holiday in August 2014 to take place in Vietnam.
Itinerary is as follows:
Flight from Moscow to Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam Airlines. Then on the day of the arrival fly domestic carrier Dzhetstar from Ho Chi Minh City to Da Nang. From Danang to Hoi taxi into town.
In Hoi 10 days. Then, return to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), 2 days there and back to Moscow.
All flights, hotels, insurance purchased by you.
Read a review of independent travelers and forth !!!
Yes, once the budget.
Airline tickets for two at both ends (4 flights) + insurance + hotel in Hoi An and Ho Chi Minh City = all together about 95 thousand rubles ...
Why the choice fell on Hoi An?
There are several reasons:
-to Hoi specific climate, there is no concept of "no season»
-Hoyan Sometimes called a city-museum under the open sky. Today in Hoi An 844 officially recognized the historical significance of the building. Among them are ancient Chinese home tyamskie temples, shops, public buildings, tombs. The city is also known for its traditional and souvenir shops, a large number of tailors.
- Well, again, did not want to go to the Russified Mui Ne or Nha Trang, more like to experience the atmosphere of the exotic.
Well, all flew.
Flight from Moscow to Ho Chi Minh City 11:00.
On board Vietnam Airlines superbly fed and poured. Alcohol of all kinds, with virtually no limitations. Local noodle type Doshirak at any time of your choice for free.
Airplane old, Russian on board about 50%.
Airplane over the Himalayas pokolbasilo good, but nothing flew, thank God.
In Ho Chi Minh City airport "Tan Son Nhat".
Foot pass from the international terminal to Domestic. The flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Da Nang about 1 hour.
The food for the money, but the price is ridiculous, about 80 rubles ...
Russians in the plane besides us there.
Well, here we are in Danang.
Surroundings Da Nang Airport.
What is the international airport of Danang, was a revelation to us. For tickets to Da Nang, we bought on the website of the carrier, for no Momondo nor Aviaseyls this city do not know)))
Small blue dot (if you make out) is our aim - Hoi An.
Hoi An (Vietnam. Hội An, pronunciation (inf.)) - Tourist town in the province of Quang Nam in Vietnam. Listed UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999 as an example of the trade-port city of Southeast Asia.
In the I century AD was the largest port in Southeast Asia. He was a member of the State Champa 占城. In the West, was known as Fife (fr., App. Faifo, whale. Ex. 海埔, 懷 霍, 會 安 市, pinyin: hăipŭ, hŭaihùo, hùiānshì, Pall .: HYIP, huayho, hueyanshi).
North through the South China Sea (and indeed the Pacific) is visible on the map Chinese Hainan Island.
Da Nang and Hoi An - city neighbors. Da Nang - an industrial metropolis, Hoi An - a tourist town. Beach in Danang too, but it is a fraction of the coastline of Hoi An.
The weather was all right.
The time difference with Moscow +3 hours.
Cheers, we got to the hotel !!!
Change bucks on dongs.
1 rubl- 600 VND.
$ 1 - 20 kilodongov. Mice millionaires)
We liked the hotel, only vayfay in the room did not work.
Administration of us for this school gave a free dinner at the restaurant, but we solved the problem by connecting to the network through the wall of a neighboring hotel)))
Beach 2 minutes away.
Palm Beach is megakruto !!! We do not need any sun loungers and umbrellas.
The sea is very warm and clean. Gentle.
In the evening, come to the beach, local families on holiday.
It is not at all annoying. The Vietnamese are friendly, respected Russian, and know immediately that you are from Russia.
Then the typical dialogue about Lenin, Moscow, the Kremlin, Putin vodka.
English simple Vietnamese do not know absolyutno.Ni words.
This does not apply to employees of hotels, of course.

We go to the My Son temple complex.
My Son (Vietnam. Mỹ Sơn) - Empire of Champa temple complex in the central part of Vietnam. In 1999, it included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Michon is located in Quang Nam province, about 50 km to the southeast from another World Heritage Site by UNESCO - the city of Hoi An.
Michon was the capital of the Champa Empire from the 4th to the 12th century. Champa culture was strongly influenced by Indian culture, which is reflected, in particular, to borrow the Hindu religion (worship of the Hindu god Shiva) and art.
In 2002, excavations began, which are part of the project cost of $ 70,000, funded by UNESCO.
The most famous tower height of 24 meters was decorated by sculptures of lions and elephants. It was destroyed during the war in 1969 by American bombing. During these bombings were totally or partially destroyed 50 of the 70 churches that are described in the first half of the 20th century by archaeologists of the French Institute of the Far East.
Little has been preserved. The guide said that all Americans bombed.

All are actively restored. Well done!
