The snow was cold and slippery, I fell several times both human and machine, fortunately it was okay.

Kbal Spean is an ancient historical archaeological site deep in the jungle, at the edge of the sacred Kulen mountain. Mount Kulen is an important pilgrimage site for Cambodians, about 50 km northeast of Siem Reap. The Kbal Spean is essentially a small river that flows from the top of Mount Kulen down to the fields surrounding the Angkor plain below. The river is a veritable treasure with an uncountable number of lingas (the symbol of the Hindu God Shiva) carved into the riverbed and surrounding rocks, giving it the name “River of a Thousand Lingas” “. The original carvings were made in the late 10th century, early 11th century. Who made them? Nobody know! But they are said to have been commissioned by the Khmer kings. Locals believe that this blessing is a way to keep their land fertile. Bokor Hill, Cambodia Bokor Hill is located atop the remote Damrei mountain in Preah Monivong National Park, about 37km west of the town of Kampot in southern Cambodia. It was built by the French in 1921 as a mountain retreat to escape the sweltering heat of Phnom Penh. It took only 9 months to complete the resort, but a total of 900 people, most of them Cambodian workers, died during construction. Bokor Hill Station was completed in 1925, welcoming the French and Cambodians of the upper class to relax. During its lifetime, it was known for its lavishness and grandeur. Besides the lavish Bokor Palace hotel and casino, there is also a post office, shops, churches and royal apartments. Fifteen years later, in 1940, due to local uprisings by the Khmer Issarak (an anti-French and anti-colonial movement), the colonists left Bokor Hill. In 1962, a casino was built inside the new hotel, several other buildings were also added. In 1972, Bokor Hill station was once again abandoned when the Khmer Rouge captured the area. By now, it has become very dilapidated and locals say the place is “full of ghosts”. Abbot Ayutthaya Buddha, Thailand Thái Before Bangkok, Ayutthaya thrived from the 14th to the 18th centuries – as one of the largest and wealthiest cities in the world. After the Myanmar army attack in 1767, Ayutthaya became an abandoned place. They burned the city and destroyed the temples, destroyed sacred statues, destroyed Buddha statues. Unfortunately, the city was never rebuilt or resettled. All that remains are crumbling brick walls, hundreds of abandoned temples and countless headless Buddha statues. A Buddha’s head miraculously “survived”. It is the Buddha on the roots of a tree at Wat Mahathat, also one of the most iconic Buddha statues in Thailand. No one knows for sure how the Buddha’s head got caught in the roots of a tree. One theory is that the head was buried in the ground during times of conflict and was slowly raised by tree roots over the years. Kyaiktiyo Golden Rock, Myanmar Kyaikhtiyo Pagoda is found atop Mount Kyaiktiyo in a small town in Mon State, Myanmar. This is one of the most famous pilgrimage sites in Myanmar. What caught everyone’s attention was the huge golden rock that perched dangerously on the edge of a cliff with more than half of its surface tilted to the outdoors. The rock defied gravity and it looked like it was about to roll down the hill. Pilgrims have flocked to the site for decades. Over the years, the sacred stone has been inlaid with many layers of gold leaf by the devotees to show their respect to accumulate virtue and purify the soul. The Lost City of Mrauk U, Myanmar Mrauk U is a quaint little town in Rakhine State, near the Bangladesh border. It served as the capital of Mrauk U Kingdom from 1430 to 1785. At the time, Mrauk U was an important, wealthy trading city, attracting merchants from the Middle East, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, France and other Asian countries. After the First English War, the kingdom collapsed and the center of commerce was moved to the coastal ports of Sittwe. The Mrauk U of today has been frozen in time with limited accessibility. Forgotten by outsiders, Mrauk U became a “missing city”. Travel to Mrauk U, you will have a trip back in time. Life moves very slowly. Simple houses, small wooden huts scattered throughout the countryside. The main means of transportation are wooden bullock carts, old-fashioned tractors, bicycles and buggies. Similar to Bagan, Mrauk U has a large collection of some 700 ancient temples and pagodas built during the reigns of 49 Arakan kings. Although the site is not as big or majestic as Bagan, it has its own charm. Ancient jungle-covered ruins make a great backdrop for photos, especially at sunrise when the morning mist adds a mystical effect. Temples aren’t the only attraction in Mrauk U. The village offers a chance to explore past life and connect with the local culture. Unlike Bagan, the military government forced people living around the old temples to move to other places, in Mrauk U, people still live and do agriculture here.

Urine boiled egg dish in China. (Illustration) Similar to boiled eggs with tea, but with a special ingredient that is soaked, boiled and stewed in the boy’s urine. This dish is considered an ethereal pleasure of the Chinese, so boiled egg with urine is also known with a rather “beautiful” name, which is boiled egg with pupil urine, or boiled egg with male urine. Close-up of an egg boiled with pupil urine. (Illustration) The dish “boiled eggs with urine” has a fairly simple recipe, including only eggs, time and pupil urine. Every day, urine from boys under the age of 10 is collected from local primary schools. Eggs are first soaked in urine, then boiled. Once the eggs have been hunted, the shells are broken to allow urine to penetrate into the eggs, and then continue to be flushed with urine at room temperature to prevent the eggs from being overcooked. Woman pouring urine on top of eggs. (Illustration) Since ancient times, Eastern medicine has given “the juice of the small copper” as a medicine, which can cure many different diseases. Therefore, it is said that boiled eggs with urine also have the effect of enhancing blood circulation, increasing vitality, and even preventing stroke. Because of those “fanciful” uses, boiled eggs with pupil urine cost four times more than the price of ordinary boiled eggs. Urine boiled eggs cost more than regular boiled eggs. (Illustration) However, whether it is an intangible cultural heritage or an oriental medicine with many healing and health-enhancing effects, not everyone is brave enough to try this strange and delicious dish. This looks unhygienic. Even today, Chinese medical experts and international public opinion are still skeptical, arguing quite fiercely about the use as well as the food hygiene problem of the pupil’s urine boiled egg. Although it is an intangible cultural heritage, not everyone dares to try this dish. (Illustration) But the two words “elite” in the culinary industry and the time factor are inherently inseparable. Whatever you say, boiled eggs with urine have existed for a century and have become an indisputable cultural feature in the cuisine of Indochina in particular, and of China in general.

Ancient city of Hanoi. In the early years of the 20th century, the Indochine architectural style was born. This style is a cross between French culture and local culture. If one has the opportunity to step into the old houses in the old quarter, it is not difficult to recognize this architectural feature in some corners. Currently, the Indochinese style is still in vogue but with more modern and fresh colors. A family has lived in the group of Hang Voi street (Hoan Kiem, Hanoi) for many years. From living habits, the rhythm of life is very familiar and do not want to move to another area. They want a new apartment in style and comfort. In particular, showing the “range” of the owner but still keeping the old features of the house. Before this request, architect Huy Do and design team A8 advised the family to renovate the apartment in Indochinese style. After a period of research and design, the old apartment building has had a spectacular makeover. Huy Do shared, when applying this style, the design team tries to refine the most quintessential features, ensuring full functionality but still maintaining a delicate aesthetic. Interior materials are mainly industrial wood mixed with natural wood. The living room, reception hall are tiled with cement tiles, the bedroom and kitchen use wooden floors. The living room and the worship room are two separate spaces, separated by a bamboo curtain but still connected. The architects used ancient patterned cement tiles, with sofa sets, TV cabinets from wood and lattice rattan, bearing Vietnamese imprints. Paintings of Indochinese girls, period paintings, tropical floral motifs, arched doors… are typical of this design style. The wooden floor matches the interior and the door. Dining table set for 6 people, bird cage chandeliers create accents for the dining area. The architects take advantage of the open space design, making the apartment more airy. From the dining table looking straight to the door and living room, observing every corner of the house. Kitchen cabinets, island table with white stone and fish scale blue stone. There are large windows to catch the sun and circulate air for the whole apartment. Cozy bedroom, the wood paneling on the headboard is cut by CNC machine. The rounded lines continue to work, helping homeowners feel comfortable when resting and bringing vitality. In the room, there is a neoclassical bathtub, a gilded shower.

Chicken eggs are a very common food, processed by people around the world with different types of dishes. But in China, people have a strange egg dish that at first glance can make diners not want to eat – the “brass egg” of Indochina, Zhejiang. It’s an egg boiled in a boy’s urine. “Intangible Cultural Heritage” of Indochina China has many strange specialties, including the dish boiled eggs in the urine of boys. Due to being popular since ancient times in many real historical records, the dish “boiled eggs with urine” was officially recognized as part of the “intangible cultural heritage” of Indochina, in in 2008, and proposed the recognition of a world cultural heritage for this unique dish. They believe that urine-boiled eggs are a part of Chinese cuisine and deserve the same honor as Korean kimchi or Japanese washoku. This dish of boiled eggs with urine in Dong Nam is considered a typical Chinese culture and is widely sold on the streets of Indochina city. In 2014, traditional Chinese chefs plan to introduce this dish to the world during Easter. With a certain amount of confidence, the chefs from Zhejiang province consider these eggs to be of an exceptionally high standard. Although they are processed by a method that scares many foreigners, their taste and effects are excellent. Visitors to the city of Indochina often cannot ignore the famous boiled egg dish here. This specialty has appeared thousands of years ago with its taste and healing effects. The dish is considered a tangible cultural heritage of Indochina. Similar to boiled eggs in tea, but with a special ingredient that is soaked, boiled and stewed in the boy’s urine and eaten as an elegant animal of the Chinese, this urine boiled egg dish Also known with a rather “beautiful” name is a boiled egg with pupil’s urine, or a boiled egg with a male’s urine. The dish “boiled eggs with urine” has a fairly simple recipe, consisting of only eggs, time and pupil urine. According to Mr. Lu Ming, the chef who wants to bring this dish to the world said that the urine for boiled eggs is obtained from primary schools. “The boys will pee in buckets and we collect them every day to ensure the best quality,” he said. Only boys’ urine is used, especially from boys under 10 years of age. There is no answer to the question of why it has to be a boy’s urine, only that this somewhat bizarre cooking method has existed for centuries here. In particular, people will use the entire amount of urine during the day instead of keeping it for use gradually to ensure the quality of boiled eggs. This egg recipe has been passed down through generations. Eggs boiled in boys’ urine are of an extremely high standard. Eggs are first soaked in urine, then boiled. The dish “men’s egg” is considered an elixir of life. Once the eggs have been hunted, the shell is broken to allow urine to penetrate into the egg, then continue to flush with urine at room temperature to prevent the egg from being overcooked. During the simmering process, urine is continuously added, along with some herbs. This recipe leaves the egg whites a pale yellow color, while the yolks turn green. After ripening, dong quai will usually have a pale yellow white and a green yolk, salty, sour and of course indispensable the characteristic “smell” of urine. However, this dish is considered not too difficult to eat. Recently, urine has added a distinct sour taste to eggs. The chefs were also unable to explain why. They think this sour taste is special and delicious. They want the dish to be exported widely so that the whole world can fully appreciate the value of Chinese cuisine. Considered a medicine Since ancient times, Eastern medicine has given “tieu dong’s juice” as a medicine, which can cure many different diseases. Therefore, it is said that boiled eggs with urine also have the effect of enhancing blood circulation, increasing vitality, and reducing pain in hips, legs and joints and even preventing stroke. Because of those “fanciful” uses, boiled eggs with pupil urine cost four times more than the price of ordinary boiled eggs. The ancients did not consider urine as a waste product of the body, but considered it a valuable medicine. That’s why people call this water samsara, reverting ladders. Modern researches today show that urine contains many substances that are beneficial to health such as urea, uric acid, hipuric acid, purine alkali, amino acids, fatty acids, endocrine substances (hormones) vitamins and enzymes. .. Thanks to the chemical composition and effects of these ingredients, scientists have been able to explain the medicinal uses of urine recorded in ancient documents that were previously unexplained. Accordingly, children’s urine is effective for postpartum women who are weak, cough, fever, and vomit blood, used to prepare some medicines. Mr. Ge Yaohua, an egg seller, introduced: “My family eats eggs in every meal. Families in Indochina love them. This type of boiled egg is very good for health, avoids back pain of the elderly, and gives more energy to work.” However, not everyone likes this dish. Whether it is an “intangible cultural heritage” or an oriental medicine with many healing and health-enhancing effects, not everyone is brave enough to try a strange and delicious dish. This unsanitary look. And there have also been many doubts and arguments, giving many warnings for this dish about the “unsanitary” problem not only in the way of eating but also in the air at the streets selling boiled eggs with urine. become “smelly”. According to Reuters, health experts have warned about hygiene issues surrounding the use of urine to boil eggs. The people of Dongyang themselves also split into two streams of opinion. One side said that this dish is “good for health and prevents colds”, the other side “does not believe it and is afraid to eat it”. In addition, the chefs could not explain why the egg dish has a very characteristic sour taste. Surely enjoying this egg dish will be a big challenge for diners from far away. However, if you are brave enough to try, this dish is extremely easy to find when coming to Indochina. Each boiled chicken egg costs 1.5 yuan (about 4,800 VND), twice as much as other boiled eggs but not too expensive for tourists. In addition, if there are acquaintances living in this city, it is highly likely that you will also be treated to a special egg dish by the host because the people here also often eat boiled eggs as a daily snack. This dish carries the two words “elite” in the culinary industry and the time element is inseparable. Whatever you say, boiled eggs with urine have existed for a century and become an indisputable cultural feature in the cuisine of Indochina in particular, and of China in general.

This is the work with the most unique architecture of Ha Giang province, ranked by the State as a national architectural monument. This has made many tourists curious and determined once to come to Ha Giang to explore. “The King’s House”, the name Ha Giang people still used to call Vuong Chi Sinh mansion area Entering the mansion, the first impression is the tall, straight rows of sandwood trees that are hundreds of years old. The stone gate of the palace appeared superficially carved subtly. The gate is curved, winding with bat wings – the symbol for the word “blessing”. The wooden gate roof is exquisitely carved, with many patterns. The palace is nearly 100 years old, King Meo has hired many excellent Chinese and Mongolian craftsmen and thousands of workers, built the mansion day and night and built within 8 years to complete, the total area is up Up to 1,120 square meters, the owner of the house had to spend 15,000 dong Dong Duong white silver to build, equivalent to 150 billion Vietnamese Dong at that time. The mansion architecture simulates the citadel architecture of Qing China, combined with Mongolian patterns and selected with French architecture such as fireplaces, bunkers … The Vuong Dynasty is the residence and fortress of the Vuong family, the Mong ethnic group in Dong Van district. The palace has 3 palaces, middle and queen, with 64 rooms, large and small, can accommodate about 100 people. Between the rows of closed 2-storey bungalows is a large, light courtyard. Surrounding the house is a garden with many types of trees: safflower, cinnamon, peach, pear, flowers … The unique feature of the mansion lies in the structure and layout of the rooms. The mansion is like a solid fortress, with thick walls, built of green stone, terracotta tiles and wooden furniture in the rows of stone pine. The owner of the house is Mr. Vuong Chinh Duc (1865 – 1947). More than a century ago, with the profession of growing and trading opium, the Vuong family dominated the entire vast highlands and was called the Meo King by local people. The opium warehouse in the Meo King mansion. The palace has 2 basements for defense, with a storage of assets, an arsenal, opium warehouse, and the layout of the rooms is like a miniature citadel. The house was built of eternal green stone, very hard rocky mountain pine and was very resistant to termites. Tile green gray yin and yang can resist heavy hail The “cat” symbol is engraved on the stone column. At the time of building the mansion, there were no tools to help, the roads were extremely dangerous. Therefore, the mansion is completely handcrafted by the Mong people. All stone materials are carved by the local people by hand and then transported from 7 km away to build houses. Another highlight of the palace is the sculpture art in parts of the house, bearing the imprint of the royal family, the mark of opium trade. Many stone details of the building are elaborately carved, cleverly bearing symbols for wealth and prosperity. Many stone details of the building are elaborately carved, cleverly bearing the symbols of wealth, longevity, prosperity. This residence is recognized by the State as a National Monument in 1993. All wood of the previous house is made from stone pine. Since it became the property of the State, the wood materials of the house have been altered about 60% by ironwood and crushed wood. The pillars are carved into the shape of a large jar-like poppy stalk, which resembles every detail, and is polished in white silver. The stair piers are also precious stone sculptures, bearing the silhouette of poppy flowers. The eye-catching, opium-shaped motifs on the rafters, left houses, doors and windows.

Old City Gate still remains intact The old, musty smell has been lingering for several hundred years like crowding around long-distance customers. From the endless dark alley emanates tiny, low apartments along the entrance, but since the Ly dynasty there has never been any sunlight. For the door and the only window facing a niche that didn’t even have any light for me. My street and West street When we were in high school, we used to bring fabric to a tailor shop on Hang Buom street. Her ten-square-meter room is powered up all year round, day and night. The greasy neon light is not enough to show the ancient green marble stones, which are covered with fabrics and accessories so that when the guests come in crowded, they just stand around the sewing machine and exchange soup. Don’t have a seat. The old town house often has a courtyard, from which it will make a sharp turn to the stairs leading up to the “mysterious” apartments on the second floor, for a time there were countless articles about the horror of public toilets on it. So the house still has a few square meters, where did we get the toilet? Yet, people still appreciate each square of the old town. I have a neighbor who lives in the same apartment building, who has moved in Hai Phong, and is also the parent of a student in my daughter’s class. Her house is 150m2, corner, light is full, but still cramped. The day the parents gathered for a picnic, she said if the old town family would give it or not, she would not live. I’d rather go to the woods better. Seeing this, a parent in the old town opened his heart to criticize, and since then, an argument broke out. Someone who told them to live in the forest was less miserable. Some people called for living in the old town to be as happy as a king. Anything is available, just walking three steps to buy what they need. I sat and listened, just like a Western man with a Ta quarreling over which cheese or shrimp paste is more fragrant. The second Old Quarter is actually the old one – formed during the French colonial period, starting in the south and east of Hoan Kiem lake and then extending down to Ba Trieu and Nguyen Thai Hoc streets. If the “Hang” quarter was crowded like a chess board, designed to match the general character of the Vietnamese, then the ancient French area was square and scientific, the most beautiful place was Trang Tien Street. Along with it are Hai Ba Trung, Ly Thuong Kiet, Tran Hung Dao, Nguyen Du, Tran Nhan Tong. Thien Quang Lake is the boundary that ends this old French quarter. From Van Ho, Kim Lien, Bach Mai onwards, the French did not live. They built houses to serve French officials and senior staff. Therefore, Indochinese architecture in the old French quarter has really become a specialty of Hanoi. The streets running from the beginning of Sword Lake in the North, to the South, towards Thien Quang Lake are Hang Bai, Hue Street, Ba Trieu, Quang Trung, Quan Su, Tran Binh Trong, connecting with the horizontal streets into one the luxury center of the Capital. In that place, Thien Quang Lake is the soul with the cool scent of milk flowers. I grew up in this area and heard my mother tell me about the people of that area, since the time when the French legionnaires were still walking around on Nguyen Thuong Hien’s sidewalk. She also mentioned that at the beginning of the street in the East (Vu Huu Loi street) was the musician Van Cao, the writer Nguyen Tuan at the end of the street in the west, the writer Tran Dan in the middle of the street. Artist To Ngoc Van was at the town of Yet Kieu, writer Te Hanh, Nguyen Van Bong and a number of big names drove across Nguyen Thuong Hien. As for the families of To Hoai and Kim Lan, they are also on Tran Quoc Toan street. Isn’t the Thien Quang lake land in a favorable time? Trang Tien Street and the Opera House in the French colonial period Childhood imprints I was born and saw the old French houses surrounded by confetti on the walls of the mansion, giant green shutters, moss-speckled yellow walls, ancient iron gates and even more. a large, quiet tiled yard. Even now, if you ignore the cafes, restaurants and fashion shops on the ground floor and look up to the balconies with the original Indochinois style (room away from Indochina), a dreamy sky is still there. Many times I think that my taste has been raised a few levels because since childhood, it has been covered with sight by this beautiful space. My primary, middle and high school are located right next to Thien Quang Lake. During the military training week, we were also brought to the edge of the lake by the teachers to train under the shade of the milk flower trees that had not yet reached winter. Then at the end of the session, they walked along Quang Trung Street and returned to school. Anyone who was not able to study would always flee to the other side of the road to come home. When I was in elementary school, I used to “stick as much as possible” to my father to Lo Su for snacks. Every time he turns to the dried cow mannequin in the shortest Hoan Kiem street in the capital, and he says he still eats there in 7th grade. That is, my father has been eating cow mannequins there for … decades. From the time of “the ancestor”, the cow mannequin was still ragging through the life of children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren as now. No wonder the ancestors of the culinary custom, Nguyen Tuan, Thach Lam, Vu Bang … all grew up in Hang Gai, Hang Bac, where delicious restaurants are available, so they are immersed in Hanoi’s food. Half a century ago, my father still has an immutable “culture” that perhaps only found in Hanoi and Saigon people, which is the habit of drinking morning coffee. If I go to the street and need to see him and cannot contact him, at that time, just visit the coffee shop in the Tran Hung Dao area, the Opera House will find him between two dozen gray-haired women. They are journalists, photographic artists … who had a relationship with him for three quarters of a century. After decades of being a friend, I met each day even more than I was snuggling with my childhood friends. Residents of the old town, they know by heart each nail shop, clock counter, gas lighter pump shop, or the top box selling shrimp paste in the middle of Hang Be market. Even an old woman who specializes in thread turning needs to leave the wooden box on the sidewalk and then go upstairs to take a nap, but the customers know the way to call down. Ho Thien Quang The standard of love The people of the old town not only love the city and get drunk, but also pass the gene on to their children. Not my parents kept telling the fairy tales of the street every day, from the day Ly Nam De Street was still Love Street (because it was always so many trees and so deserted that couples went there for a walk. and confidently) before turning the city “Hang Tin”, specializing in selling computers, and there was always a lot of traffic jams in the next half century. Then I also manipulated these stories for my daughter every time I passed the architectural buildings of Indochina, dyed in the sunset light. “Mother always climbed the wall to hide from school here. In this corner of the lake, her mother and Ms. Thuy often take pictures with the red corn spreader. As for Le Duan street, my mother always rides her bike alone. This is the best mixed tea in the world that mom often eats every time she goes to tutoring ”. My daughter grew up in Cau Giay district, she looked at the old town blankly, and she loves the street so much that everything in the old town has become the norm. Not loving the street, writer Nguyen Viet Ha, a resident of Nha Chung Street, wrote “Con Giai old town” with pride that did not hide the distinction between the street and the peripheral … And painter Le Thiet Cuong, who owns an expensive house right on Ly Quoc Su street, is so arrogant that motorbikes do not go, cars do not drive … walk, too much, cycling, showing the I don’t have to go anywhere more than 500m. Writer Di Li Anyone who has urgent need to come knock on Ly Quoc Su’s door, otherwise they will just hang around the street. Busy, we had an appointment with 4 people by Thien Quang Lake, he said: “Wait a second, I rode there for up to 10 minutes”. So exactly 7 minutes later, I saw the old town artist in orange pants leisurely building his car at a milky tree. Perhaps Le Thiet Cuong thought, wherever the 10-minute bike ride is the standard.
