Tips and secrets


Dragon bridge on weekend's evenings.

Danang is a nice big city to be, by being located along the sea, between a hill to its North offering nice panoramas, and Hoi An, famous old fisherman village. However, Danang itself seems to be only a standard vietnamese now. But every Saturday and Sunday evening, at 9pm, the dragon shaped bridge will spit fire and water for few minutes.

Linh Quy Phap temple

Visiting Vietnam is often done by motorbike, and religion isn't the main purpose of a backpacker as socialism is not pushing it unlike its neighbor of Thailand or Laos. But among buddhism, catholism, and coadaism, some religious places are worth a visit. Lost in the province of Lam Dong, next to Bao Loc city, Linh Quy Phap temple is a stunning place for sunrise, a bit too famous among locals as you may among hundreds of them at 5am. A good idea is to come the day before, in the evening. You'll be welcome by monks, with some youngsters able to speak english. And you'll be invited to sleep in their dorms and share their food as well. Having a great moment with them, even unique with some walks at nights and buddhisme practice, you'll have to wake up early in the morning with them to pray, but you'll be for sure on time to witness the amazing scenery with the surrounding hills revealing themselves with the first sunlights.

Abandoned waterpark in Hue

City of Kings in Vietnam, with most of the kings grave in the surrounding, and the only real citadel of Vietnam, Hue offers a nice place to go for Urbex addicts. About 15km East, but only 2-3 kms from some Kings' graves, a waterpark closed due to bankrupt offers really nice pictures to the one who are able to get in, avoiding or chatting, and persuading the guards that you won't destroy the place. Still guarded because the government hope that somebody will buy the land, and make some decent business again, the mighty dragon in the lake, the waterslides lost in a forest, and the stories of crocodiles, and injured backpackers are a combination that should give everybody the desire to have a look to this nice abandoned complex.
