Spectacular views of Danang from Son Tra peninsula
|
|
For those after the most stunning view of Danang City by the beautiful Han River, then get your boots and climbing gear on as you will have to head to Linh Ung Bai But Pagoda on Son Tra peninsula.
Located on Son Tra peninsula, the pagoda looks onto the quiet East Sea, on the left of which is Cu Lao Cham Island and on the right is Hai Van Mountain. The pagoda is famous for its beautiful Kwan Yin statue 67 meters tall and views of Danang, one of the most dynamic and beautiful cities in central Vietnam. And on the flip side, people living in the city can see the huge Kwan Yin statue from almost everywhere.
The statue of Kwan Yin in Linh Ung Bai But Pagoda
There is a legend concerning the stunning beach below about villagers, who lived and breathed fishing, one day finding a huge statue of Buddha drifting on the beach. They then perched the statue on high as a landmark to help support villagers through rough storms and keep them safe from sea creatures.
The pagoda area is always crowded with tourists and citizens, especially during weekends - Photos: Pham Thai

Touching “Children in Wartime” exhibition
|
|
Over 70 photos depicting the life of Vietnamese children in northern Vietnam during the Vietnam War (1964-1972) are now on display at No. 93 Dinh Tien Hoang, Hanoi.
The exhibition, entitled “Children in Wartime,” is held on occasion of the 40th anniversary of the D - Japan (NDN), the Vietnam News Agency and the Young Pioneers Newspaper.
NDN opened a permanent office in Hanoi in 1964, and has over 2,000 photos, documentaries and news broadcasts about Vietnam. Among them is the only documented, in color film, about the funeral of President Ho Chi Minh. In 2011, Kim Dong Publishing House bought more than 2,000 photos of Vietnam taken between 1965 and 1975.
The photos in the exhibition have been selected from these to show the daily lives of children during wartime, when many parts of the country were heavily bombed by the US. Kim Dong Publishing will also display a number of children's books published at the time.
The exhibition will close on September 14.
