Impression da nang prose

I used to pronounce the word "Xi 'an" as Ji 'an in Da Nang, and I didn't correct my pronunciation until I went to Vietnam. Until now, when I see the word "xian", I miss "Ji 'an".

My first impression of Da Nang came from the tour guide Zheng Xiao's introduction to the tour group members in the terminal of Nanning T2. He said a lot of things, but I only remember two. 1. 65438+100000 VND is equivalent to about RMB 3 yuan. It is suggested that each group member exchange 500 yuan RMB Vietnamese dong for a rainy day. You can exchange Vietnamese currency from him, and the unused Vietnamese currency will still be converted into RMB from him when you leave the group. Second, tipping is required in many places in Vietnam. When going through the customs, everyone should bring 10 RMB in their passports, otherwise they will be in trouble (adding congestion to customs officers); After staying in the hotel, each person should put 65,438+00,000 VND on the bedside table every day, which is equivalent to the daily tip of 6 yuan RMB for two guests to the health service personnel, otherwise such problems will occur.

Sure enough, according to Zheng's warning before entering the customs, everything went smoothly when our team passed the Vietnamese customs! After staying in the hotel in Da Nang for five days, one day my group members and I forgot to tip. As a result, I returned to my room in the afternoon and found that the disposable toothbrush and toothpaste had been taken away, but no new ones were added. Hygiene is average, but the bedding on the bed has been packed, and other places that should be cleaned have not moved! On the way to the airport from Da Nang, a "tour guide" who claimed to be from Jiuzhaigou in the car received a 50 yuan RMB tip from each group member, saying that the money was for the Vietnamese tour guide Xia and the local driver, which had nothing to do with him. He also said that if you don't tip, the driver will pull over and refuse to go to the airport. Every league member obediently obeys.

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 explain in the car and can't be "tour guides" after getting off the bus. "One River" belongs to this kind of person. After returning to Nanning, I reflected this to the tour group, because the "travel contract" signed with them indicated that the fees charged included miscellaneous fees and tips. The relevant personnel of the tour group recovered the money and returned the 50 yuan RMB to me.

On the sea, land and air borders between Vietnam and Guangxi, I have been to Haiphong, Halong Bay and Hanoi on business before. I was the first to return to Da Nang, and I did some "homework" before I left. I look forward to this coastal tourist city. After a two-hour flight, Da Nang, known as the fourth largest city in Vietnam, appeared under the plane at around 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, colorful, romantic and comfortable with a bit of mystery. The pronunciation of Vietnamese "Da Nang" is close to that of Chinese "Auntie". Looking close 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 of the window. There are the most food stalls on both sides of the street, with bright lights and many diners. Then there are various shops, including those selling motorcycles and repairing motorcycles, because most of the vehicles on the road are motorcycles, mainly Honda, Suzuki and Yamaha brands. Zheng Dao has repeatedly explained that motorcycles here are very fast and pedestrians are not allowed to enter. Be especially careful when crossing the road! Soon, a dragon-shaped bridge appeared before us. It is reported that this dragon-shaped bridge across the Han River began in 2009, which took four years and cost 85 million US dollars. It is the only single-arch steel structure bridge in Southeast Asia. It is one of the landmark landscapes of Da Nang, especially at night, the bridge body changes 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, attracting many citizens and tourists to stop and watch.

In Vietnamese culture, the dragon is a totem worshipped by all people in the world. The Vietnamese call themselves the dragon son and the immortal grandson. The buildings, costumes and utensils of Vietnam in the past dynasties were decorated with dragon patterns. They believe that the dragon is the most comprehensive god, and its predecessor is snakes and crocodiles. Therefore, the image of Vietnamese dragon is abstracted on the basis of snakes, crocodiles and other animals, and the shape of Dragon Bridge shows the characteristics of Vietnamese dragon. In the long feudal era, Vietnamese dragons, like dragons, were monopolized by various feudal dynasties and became a symbol of imperial power.

According to Xia, a Vietnamese tour guide, people in Da Nang, like other cities, buy land before building houses, and people have the right to use the land they bought permanently. You can build houses on your own land at will, or you can buy and sell them. In order to build a better house with limited money, we can only save money on land purchase. Therefore, people often just buy a small piece of land and then build slender "slender" buildings. The tallest residential building has five to six floors. In Da Nang, most residential buildings are about three floors, with shops on the first floor, bedrooms on the second floor and balconies on the third floor, which shows that local people do business all over the country. Da Nang people have rich imagination. They painted the exterior of the house with colorful colors. From the front, the janitor's face is not big, but from the side, it is a long outer wall that extends 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 together and the residents are relatively dense, the surrounding environment is quite clean. Even in places where food stalls are eaten, there is little smell of seafood and food waste.

Our hotel is near Meixi Beach. It is said that the sunrise at sea there is very beautiful. I arrived at the seaside less than 5 o'clock the next morning. People have begun to do morning exercises at the seaside, some jogging or running on the beach, some dancing in group fitness, some playing volleyball, some swimming in the sea, some burying themselves 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 extremely commercialized entertainment facilities. This is a good place to relax, think, take a holiday and settle 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 beach softness and whiteness, convenient transportation, surrounding holiday facilities, sunshine and beach size. Da Nang has also been selected as one of the 50 places to visit in life by National Geographic magazine, and it 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 town will still maintain its simplicity and natural scenery is still so beautiful. Don't be like some scenic spots in China, the more mature, the more boring!

According to reports, from 2065438 to September 2006, the "Gallup World Opinion Survey" integrated the indicators of average life expectancy, happiness survey, opportunity difference, environmental load and so on in 40 countries around the world, forming "HappyPlanetIndex". According to this 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 years. At the age of five, his happiness ranked first in Asia. Although Vietnam is a poor country, even so, Vietnamese will be optimistic about life and rarely commit suicide.

Camellia Peninsula is located in the northeast of Da Nang, about13km away from the city center. The most famous temple on the peninsula is Ling Ying Temple, which is located on the mountainside of camellia. In the square in front of the temple stands a statue of Guanyin, the tallest white jade statue in Southeast Asia, 65 meters high. The geographical location of Ling Ying 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 at the gate of Ling Ying Temple, and also on the couplets of 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 Indo-China Peninsula is basically at the core of Buddhist culture, and Vietnam is no exception. The local Jing people and other ethnic minorities are deeply influenced by the Buddhist culture in China, and China tourists will feel deja vu when they come to these places.

Hui 'an is an ancient town in China. She gave me the impression that Chinese architecture can be seen everywhere and is well preserved. The old streets, ancient houses, China Guild Hall and covered bridges built by the Japanese in the17th century not only show the simplicity and elegance of China architecture, but also incorporate the aesthetics and values of the local people, and reflect the organic combination of Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese cultures in architectural style. 1999 UNESCO listed Hoi An on the World Heritage List. According to reports, it was once a famous oriental port in history. During the Kingdom of Champa, Hoi An was once a port and developed into the most important trade exchange center in Southeast Asia in the16th century. 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.

Attending the meeting were Europeans (mostly French), Koreans, Japanese and China, most of whom were from China. There are tourists who walk, ride bicycles and ride tricycles. 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 1950s, the Vietnam-France War broke out, the government conquered Vietnam, and Vietnam became a colony of France. Therefore, the ancient town of Hoi 'an was inevitable. With the deepening of colonial rule, the romantic feelings in French culture are pervasive in the local area. A French couple just arrived here and took a walk in the ancient town after dinner. When they came to Fujian Hall in China, they saw a rickshaw driver passing by. Attracted by this kind of transportation, the couple insisted on going up for a ride. I never thought that at the corner, a rickshaw collided with a speeding bike. This collision actually destroyed the inspiration of the French. What would it be like if bicycles were combined with foreign cars?

When he came back, the French drew his idea carefully. In the original design, the driver's seat is in the front and the passenger seat is in the back. The French wife put forward her own views. She thinks that if passengers sit in the back, the driver will block the view in front. Why not put the passenger 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 couple showed off on their tricycle in the ancient town, they attracted the attention of people around them. Soon, some car dealers also made the same cars according to the gourd painting, and the number of tricycles on the street gradually increased, which also became a major feature of Hui 'an ancient town.

There is a covered bridge on the river to the west of the ancient town of Hui 'an, 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. It was originally built by the Japanese in the16th century, and rebuilt and erected by China people in China in the Ming Dynasty. 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 pray for the boatmen on the river. There are stone monkeys and dogs guarding both 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 Stone Monkey Bridge, and overseas Chinese also call it "Maqiao". There is a plaque above the bridge, which reads "Laiyuan Bridge" and Chinese characters such as "Ancheng" and "Lishe" are written on it. In addition to most Chinese buildings, there are many French classical buildings and quadrangle buildings in Hai 'an City. Most of these French buildings are beautiful in appearance and lines, and the external walls are decorated with figures from the European Renaissance, which is of great artistic value.

There are only four or five streets in the whole Hui 'an ancient town. Coming here is like walking into the ancient town of Jiangnan. It is said that it has always been called "Little Lijiang". Most of the streets are tourist souvenir shops, with restaurants, bars and coffee shops lined up. The local family hotels are all three or four-story 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 here live a leisurely life. When visiting the ancient town, I often meet young men and women who take wedding photos. The couple aimed at each other tenderly, winked at each other and made various gestures recognized by photographers. I also took a lot of photos of couples. Looking back is quite good! In addition, the humanistic pictures taken in other public places during this trip were edited into the post Impression of Da Nang (10) and published on the website of South China Morning Post, with nearly 5,000 hits. This 1- 10 series of posts has more than 62500 hits!

What is worth mentioning here is the unique "drip coffee" in Vietnam. The making of drip coffee is relatively simple. First, put some condensed milk in the cup, and then add a little boiling water to the leaking pot. When water seeps into the coffee powder and drops into the cup, the aroma of coffee begins to spread. After about 3 or 4 minutes, fill the leaking pot with boiling water. After all the water leaks out, stir it evenly with a spoon, and a cup of coffee with dripping fragrance will be ready. Compared with other kinds of coffee, this kind of coffee is more mellow. If you add some ice cubes, the taste of this cup of coffee will be softer and lighter, 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 baguette with bacon and some vegetables including bean sprouts and cucumbers in the middle. ), chewing slowly with "coffee drops" is really an enviable comfort. In hot Vietnam, everything is like a slow drop of coffee. The pace of life must slow down, and it is easy to sweat when it is fast.

Hoi An is more beautiful at night. As night falls, all kinds of Vietnamese lanterns shine. The fabric of lanterns is mostly local silk, and the style is mainly oval grape shape. A string of colorful lanterns hangs across the street between buildings on both sides. 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 canoes on the Qiupen River. People put out the river lights by boat and look forward to a better life. There are tables and chairs outside a restaurant, where many European tourists are chatting while eating. A beautiful girl stood at the door of the restaurant to meet us. After sitting down, we looked at the menu and didn't know what to say, and the language communication was not smooth. We even gestured to buy some bowls of local rice noodles. We looked at it carefully before paying the bill. Boy, 654.38+ 10,000 Vietnamese dong (equivalent to 30 RMB) is one. When she stood up to leave, the girl quickly stopped her, indicating that she had already done it and could not "return it"! Eating that bowl of rice noodles is no different from Nanning's rice noodles, but it's 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 specializing in "Aodai" in Hoi An. Ode, regarded as the traditional dress of Vietnamese women, is said to be the product of the localization of China cheongsam. But its fate is the same as that of China's cheongsam, and the number of people and occasions to wear is becoming more and more limited. Some schools in Vietnam use white "Aodai" as school uniforms, which is quite creative. Colorful fabrics are hung in the tailor's shop. Personal tailor's "Aodai" can choose its own color, fabric and style. It is said that you can usually get it the next day. Its price varies according to different fabrics. Larger tailor shops usually charge $70, while some small shops in local areas can get it as long as 60 yuan RMB. No matter how high or low, the cutting will not be sloppy. Those slim women walking in the street are all wearing "Aodai", which is graceful and charming, forming a series of beautiful scenery lines, which is very attractive!
