The flight time to Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, is six hours. 'Ha-Nui' is how many people refer to Hanoi. which translates as "city between rivers." You will quickly see that this city is a blend of the ancient and the new. A few must-see locations are the Water Puppet Theater, the Old Quarters, the Temple of Literature, Hoan Kiem Lake, Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, the century-old Long Bien Bridge across the Red River, One Pillar Pagoda, West Lake, and St. Joseph's Cathedral.
Nearly every year, Vietnam gets an abundance of rainfall, which causes certain regions to flood. However, rain is considered extremely lucky in Vietnamese culture. Rain, in their opinion, indicates that dragons are out and about in the nation. Vietnamese mythology holds that dragons are the origin of creation and that humans are descended from dragons. On a map, Vietnam resembles the English letter 'S'. Very much in the form of a dragon. Vietnamese people therefore think that they will all become as strong as dragons on the Asian continent at some point in the future.
Situated on the coast of Halong Bay in Quang Lin Province, Halong is a city surrounded by breathtaking natural scenery, 182 kilometers away from Hanoi. Tong King Bay includes Halong Bay. There are over 2,000 little monolithic islets in this bay. Just 989 of these islands have names; the remaining ones are unidentified. Stranger still are the names of the islands. For instance, Hon Bhoi (Elephant Island), Hon Ga Chai (Fighting Rooster Island), Hon Moi Na (Rooster Island), etc. Other than one 'T-top' island, the other islands are called by their shapes. In 1962, Gyerman Titov, a Soviet cosmonaut, traveled to T-Top Island with Ho Chi Minh. Next, Ho Chi Minh gave the island a name. There are some spectacular stalagmite and stalagtite caverns on these Halong Bay islands that are classified as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
