VietNamNet Bridge – Through pictures posted on the Instagram account of the Huffington Post, Vietnam appears both lively and serene.
From the solitary beaches of Ha Long Bay to the chaotic streets of Ho
Chi Minh City, travelers to Vietnam will be rewarded by the country’s
dramatic landscapes and rich cultural heritage.
“Through Your
Lens” is a project of Huffington Post. By opening an Instagram account
named Worldpost, the American newspaper wants its readers to share
beautiful photos taken while traveling. All pictures are grouped by
destination and introduced to the public each week. Recently, the site
published images of Vietnam tourism.
The Sung Sot Cave aka the “Amazing Cave” in Halong Bay.
Phong
Nha Cave in the central province of Quang Binh. “The cave itself is
7729 m long, contains 14 grottos, with a 13,969 m-long underground
river. Only 1.5km of area is accessible for tourists, with some caves
with roofs towering up to 40m in height,” commented jimmy dau

“I
spent four days riding through the backcountry of Northern Vietnam
getting to know a place of extraordinary beauty. I rode through rice
fields and over mountains, all the while interacting with some of the
most down-to-earth, kind people I have ever met. I took this picture on
the side of a small country road. It was the Golden Hour in the Golden
Land,” wrote Rezonate.

Back
streets of the Mekong Delta. “While this may look like a quiet
backwater, behind me is a long line of boats full of tourists all being
floated down the same route. This sort of thing is always bittersweet
for me, as much as being part of mass formulaic tourism has its woes, I
can also still appreciate the experience itself (don’t look behind!!)
and the support the jobs bring to the local economy is priceless,” wrote

“Sa
Pa, in Northwestern Vietnam, was my favorite place I visited. Cool,
foggy mornings would give way to bright, sunny days. It was just
beautiful,” wrote the author of the picture.
