Scenes from the journey to Perfume Pagoda

Now I can understand why the Vietnamese use the Yen River for the backdrop for paintings. It's simply beautiful and the scenary changes dramtically when the light changes. The pictures that you see were taken at dawn and dusk.

    The dish costs 100.000 dong today. So it is definitely a lot cheaper than mentioned in this article.

    What an interesting and fun page, Glen. I had a blast looking it all over. I think Vietnam is a place we want to go someday.
