He succeeded to the throne of his father and governed Lac-Viet tribe. Before long, De Lai, king of a northern tribe, with his daughter Au Co made a trip to visit the south. Admiring Lac Long Quan’s talent, De Lai married Au Co to Lac Long Quan. Au Co got pregnant and gave birth to a membranous sac. The sac kept getting larger and larger and burst on the seventh day. Surprisingly, there were one hundred eggs in the sac, which hatched into one hundred beautiful babies. The children of Lac Long Quan and Au Co were the ancestors of <b><a href="http://things-todo-in-vietnam.blogspot.com/">Vietnam</a></b>, and so the Vietnamese are known as “Dragon and Fairy descendants.” The eldest son of Lac Long Quan and Au Co, who was with this mother, established himself at Phong Chau, now the southern part of Phu Tho Province, and made himself king. That was King Hung I whose realm was made up by 50 tribes. The 18 Hung kings then ruled the country from 2879 to 258BC.</div> <figure class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_1920" style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: 'Gotham SSm', Arial; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; line-height: 18px; list-style: none; margin: 0px auto 5px; max-width: 100%; outline: none; padding: 0px; width: 500px;"><span style="color: #00a600;"><img alt="Phu-Tho" class="size-full wp-image-1920 tie-appear" height="390" src="http://hivietnam.vn/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/net-dep-hn21.jpg" style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; list-style: none; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; opacity: 1; outline: none; padding: 0px; transition: all 0.4s ease-in-out; vertical-align: middle;" width="500" /></span><figcaption class="wp-caption-text" style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: small; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 15px 0px; text-align: right; width: 500px;">The legend of Lac Long Quan – Au Co</figcaption></figure><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Gotham SSm', Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"> There are three main sites including Lower Temple, Middle Temple, Upper Temple respectively situated from the foot to the top of the mountain. 225 hike-up steps from Dai Mon Gate lies Lower Temple.

Passengers can easily have meals on the ship, but there was only noodle with eggs or noodle with sausage. I had only noodle, so it was very cheap with only 5,000 VND.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> It is said that <b><a href="http://things-todo-in-vietnam.blogspot.com/search/label/vietnam%20travel">Con Dao</a></b> was the most beautiful from March to June, and I came here in late April.

On that day, the headwind was strong so it took the boat 14 hours to reach the destination. Con Dao appeared to be a colossal area, the water was very blue and clean and the beach was incredibly peaceful. Finally, we reached Ben Dam Harbor; the weather was very pleasant with great sunshine. I started feeling in love with this place. We got on the bus to move into the town and saw the Legendary Love Apex from a long distance of our back. People said this Apex was like the image of a boy and a girl hugging each other, but I couldn’t realize this picture- perhaps because I wasn’t in love.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <img src="http://hanoi.tips/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Con-Dao-Island-2.jpg" /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> This Harbor was about 13 kilometers far from Con Dao. My friend and I had a full breakfast and then we rented a motorbike to discover the beauty of this town. The roads here at this time were quite colorful with violet Lagerstroemia, red phoenix, and yellow Cassia fistula. We felt really impressed and surprised with the magnificent beauty of nature here. The quietness here seemed to be strange to me, from the clean roads to the romantic beach. About seven thousand local citizens were living in this town, but we could hardly see any of them.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <a href="http://hanoi.tips/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Con-Dao-Island-5.jpg"><img src="http://hanoi.tips/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Con-Dao-Island-5.jpg" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Phoenix flowers</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <a href="http://hanoi.tips/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Con-Dao-Island-1.jpg"><img src="http://hanoi.tips/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Con-Dao-Island-1.jpg" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> We came back to get our hotel room, put our luggage into the room and continued our journey. Con Dao Town was so small that we could discover every part of this place in only 1 morning. The local people told us that they had known each other and every place in this town very well.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> We came back to the first place- Ben Dam Harbor and then went to Dam Trau. We were advised to have our motorbike full of energy before going because there was only one fuel station here.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Van Son Pagoda, which was being constructed, was located on a high ground so we felt quite tired after walking through 200 stairs. The view from that height was so great with blue sky and beach. Hai An Lake was as beautiful as a picture of yellow autumn.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> We did not want to miss any moment and scenery here because it was remarkably fantastic. Therefore, we took a lot of picture in every part of this place from the beautiful lotus in the lake to others. This lake supplied local citizens with fresh water. There was only fresh water in Con Dao and Hon Gai, and other 14 islands did not have fresh water. Next, we moved into Ba Phi Yen Temple and prayed, the atmosphere inside was very peaceful and quiet. After that, my friend and I went on discovering every part there from markets to restaurants and other historical sites.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <a href="http://hanoi.tips/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Son-Than-Temple.jpg"><img src="http://hanoi.tips/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Son-Than-Temple.jpg" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The seaside roads were charming. We stopped for a while at the 914 Pier and heard about the history of the number 914. It was a pity that so many builders passed away to contribute to the construction of this Pier. The atmosphere and scenery here were still incredible. The water was so clean and clear that we wanted to swim, but we were not permitted because there were a lot of oysters in that area.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <a href="http://hanoi.tips/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/ship-bridge-914.jpg"><img src="http://hanoi.tips/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/ship-bridge-914.jpg" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 914 Pier</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The scenery of the two sides from the town to Ben Dam Harbor was entirely different from each other. One side of the road was covered with a lot of Confetti flowers and the other bank was the beach with rough cliffs that was breathtaking but dangerous. We could not stop taking a lot of pictures here because of the fantastic view of this place. Next, we visited Cau Temple, which was the temple built for Nguyen Anh’s son. Tourists coming here will have a chance to listen to the anecdotes of this temple.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <a href="http://hanoi.tips/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Con-Dao-Island-10.jpg"><img src="http://hanoi.tips/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Con-Dao-Island-10.jpg" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Then we moved to Dam Trau Beach. The road was so winding and rough that we nearly fell for sometimes. Each beach had its own style and beauty and so did Dam Trau. This beach was quite large with yellow sand and some seafood stalls. We quickly found an ideal place and started to choose some kinds of seafood. We had the opportunity to eat shells, moon crabs, which were very delicious and tasty.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <img src="http://hanoi.tips/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Con-Dao-Island-11.jpg" /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Dam Trau beach</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> In that afternoon, we came back to bathe because I preferred the beach in town. My friend and I found a stunning and quiet beach whose name was So Muoi. It was until 7 pm that we stopped bathing. The atmosphere at that time was so impressive with a beautiful moon and peaceful wave. It would be greater if we had a bottle of beer there.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Two other friends and I drank iced milk coffee together and talked about many things. After that, we took a nap after a long traveling day.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> At 11: 30 pm, we visited Hang Duong Cemetery and it was more crowded there at night than in the daytime. The lighting system here came from solar batteries; each tomb was a light so there were thousands of lights there. I offered incense in Vo Thi Sau’s tomb and other nearby ones. I also came to further tombs because I thought that not so many people came there. To be honest, I felt a little fearful although I didn’t know where that scary came from.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> At 5 a.m, I had a walk on the peaceful and quiet roads. I also visited the market in which local people sold the green vegetables that they grew like spinach, pumpkin, and kale. Most of fruits and flowers here came from the mainland so they were a little more expensive than other ones.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <img src="http://hanoi.tips/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Con-Dao-Island-14.jpg" /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> After a full breakfast, my friend and I visited Phu Son and Phu Hai detention camp; the atmosphere in those places was so quiet that the silence was an uncomfortable pressure. I had a chance to listen to the structure of these sites, which included the Inland Princess Palace, museum, etc. locating in a large campus with a lot of green trees. I also visited the gallery in which the souvenirs of heroin Vo Thi Sau were displayed. This museum was located next to the small road where she was kept for 1 day 1 night.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Finally, we visited Phu Tuong detention camp and then came back to have a bath. We had a chance to have a bathe at some famous beaches here like So Muoi, Lo Voi, and Nhat. These beaches were very safe and comfortable. After that, we asked the way to Ong Dung forest, it was a little far but we still decided to come because we were interested in this destination.We came across Ma Thien Lanh in which two ranges of stones lying straightly.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> We bought 20,000 VND tickets to visit Ong Dung forest and then explored this place according to the instruction of a forest protection officer. Coming across the primeval forest, we saw some naughty monkeys that were playing happily. One particular thing that all tourists liked very much when visiting Con Dao was that they would never lose their motorbikes even when the keys were still on the motorbikes. We drove a 600- meter way through the forest to reach the beach.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <a href="http://hanoi.tips/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Bai-Ong-Dung.jpg"><img src="http://hanoi.tips/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Bai-Ong-Dung.jpg" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Ong Dung beach</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The beach was in our sight, there were quite a lot of stones and gravels, but we could still bathe there.

Getting up after a deep sleep, I could see green cornfields outside through the window glasses. After getting off, I caught a bus to Sapa. At that moment, perhaps I looked amusing with smeared face and a big backpack.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b style="text-align: start;"><div style="text-align: justify;"> >>> Other topics: <a href="http://hivietnam.vn/da-lat/" style="line-height: 18pt; text-align: start;"><strong><i><span style="color: windowtext; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none;">travel to dalat</span></i></strong></a><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 18pt; text-align: start;"> </span><span class="apple-converted-space" style="line-height: 18pt; text-align: start;"><span style="background: white; color: #545454; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></span><span style="background: white; color: #545454; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 18pt; text-align: start;">with tips and advice on things to do, see, ways to save money, and cost information.</span></div> </b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <b><div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>First day</b></div> </b><div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> After a long period pretending to contemplate the romantic nature along the road, I started to feel carsick. The small meandering road made me dazzled and dizzy. That’s why I decided to rest on the nearby handsome boy’s shoulder and slept more after seeing no reaction from him.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Coming Sapa, I felt emotionally dumbfounded due to the astonishing view (and also the cold weather). The first thing was visiting the hotel because we needed to have a comfortable resting place during the trip. Then I went to the church, taking some photos there and visited the market with the dull-headed face because I found everything so interesting and extraordinary. Sapa welcomed me with extremely sunny and fine weather.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> After lunch, I started discovering Vietnam Sapa. The first destination was Cat Cat Village, impressing me with its terrible entrance road, which made me seem to be thrown out of the motorbike and reluctantly hugged the driver tightly. Although the entry way was thrilling, its view was so awesome that I had to take continuous photos and got some nice shots among them.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp0thFA3lxA-H9rnFxM6usvJWTKmm6Jgoa-XyT6AAeqXov9RpPxGWEkqB8Oj8QzwV-JJ0awHqvjCuGQC3OPeX7yc2_wqU_Oo9Ug21hXssTE0Jp9dSKSMUzJrc2I2Nhk2BWxZbzuqK0mzk/s1600/Sapa-2015-8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp0thFA3lxA-H9rnFxM6usvJWTKmm6Jgoa-XyT6AAeqXov9RpPxGWEkqB8Oj8QzwV-JJ0awHqvjCuGQC3OPeX7yc2_wqU_Oo9Ug21hXssTE0Jp9dSKSMUzJrc2I2Nhk2BWxZbzuqK0mzk/s640/Sapa-2015-8.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <i><div style="text-align: justify;"> <i>Old Church in Sapa</i></div> </i><div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> After visiting the village, I came back to the church, eating ice-cream and seeing Dao children kicking shuttlecock. Feeling tired, they took a rest and slid their smartphones. Some adolescents nearby were continuously taking photos by their phone. Until now, I have had a chance to see with my eyes the beauty of ethnic girls with colorful traditional costume; silver bracelets, anklets, and brown hair.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <a href="http://hanoi.tips/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Sapa-2015-6.jpg"><img src="http://hanoi.tips/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Sapa-2015-6.jpg" /></a></div> <i><div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <i>Grilled food that is very famous in <b><a href="http://things-todo-in-vietnam.blogspot.com/search/label/sa-pa">Sapa</a></b></i></div> </i><div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> In the evening, I could enjoy grilled food – my favorite food, so I felt very enthusiastic. Before the trip, I imagined that I could eat even whole a cow. After a long time wandering, I came in a clean kiosk in the middle of the road near the church and ordered slanting food as well as a bottle of cat apple wine. But I felt a little disappointed about the food because the roasted food wasn’t hot enough and had a typical taste (even not delicious as the baked food I made myself). Especially, the meat cabbage roll was so spicy that I both ate and cried, making the nearby handsome boy dazed. Anyway, the wine was so sweet and soft to drink and my face turned red after just only some cups of wine. Getting out of the kiosk, I felt like walking on the cloud but I still found out a short cut road to the hotel.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The first-day summary: Sapa had numerous mountains that I couldn’t figure out the total number. The weather was beautiful and the roasted food was not yummy as talked. Ending a day of eating, laughing and walking a lot, I fell into a deep sleep to be ready for tomorrow.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <b><div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>The second day</b></div> </b><div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Getting up early in the morning, opening the window and seeing the town sunk in thick fog, I felt really peaceful. This is the first time I had breakfast in a high place with surrounding clouds and romantic view.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Today I decided to rent a motorbike to drive to Silver Waterfall, Love Waterfall, and O Quy Ho mountain pass.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The motorcycle ran fast on a tortuous road with one side of crag cliffs and one side of spreading flower fields. I felt more and more surprised because nature was much more beautiful and imposing than what I could see in photos. I was so busy with contemplating the views that till coming back the hotel; I realized forgetting not to take any pictures of them.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Standing far away, I still could hear the sound of Silver Waterfall. The water from the mountain fell fast and thickly, making white foam to the land. Nature was much more beautiful than what I imagined. The most impressive experience here making us embarrassed was the toilet in the middle height of the mountain. Since then, I have promised that I would never let my friend have problems with toilet-paper.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <a href="http://hanoi.tips/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Sapa-2015-7.jpg"><img src="http://hanoi.tips/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Sapa-2015-7.jpg" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <i><div style="text-align: justify;"> <i>Silver Waterfall</i></div> </i><div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The next destination was O Quy Ho mountain pass. Standing from here, I could see rolling mountains and felt so tiny.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Leaving O Quy Ho mountain pass, I also visited Love Waterfall and Golden Spring. Seeing the signboard of walking 1.1 km, I felt rather discouraged but I still tried due to the high spirit of my friend. The sunny weather, as well as the weary legs, made me would like to come back the hotel, but I still kept going because I couldn’t leave my friend.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> At last, I saw the Love Waterfall after passing along the entrance road. It’s said that lonely people visiting there can get a new happy relationship. That’s why I tried my best to take my boyfriend there. It’s not vain passing over forest roads, Love Waterfall was so much more beautiful and imposing than Silver Waterfall that I felt overwhelmed and couldn’t stop contemplating. On the way to come back the hotel, despite the tired legs, seeing the signboard to Fansipan, I still tried to take a photo with it to show to my friend. That’s the end of a not only happy but also tired morning. At noon, we visited a beef noodle restaurant and ordered 2 big bowls. After finishing, both of us felt better and kept going. The plan for this afternoon was climbing Ham Rong Mountain, Muong Hoa Valley, and Ta Van Village.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <a href="http://hanoi.tips/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Sapa-2015-31.jpg"><img src="http://hanoi.tips/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Sapa-2015-31.jpg" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> There weren’t any particular things in Ham Rong except that when you climb to Cloud Yard you could feel like Sapa lying in your eyes. One more time, I forgot to take the photos because I couldn’t stop contemplating the nature.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Leaving Ham Rong, I continued the trip. The entrance road to Muong Hoa impressed me with extremely peaceful views. Kitchen smoke spread from tiny houses. The rice terraces lay endlessly. The paddy was so green and the flowers were so white. A picture didn’t have so many colors but still got stunning beauty. I could hear sweet melodious flute sound far away and felt like I was staying in the dream land.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <a href="http://hanoi.tips/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Sapa-2015-1.jpg"><img src="http://hanoi.tips/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Sapa-2015-1.jpg" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <i><div style="text-align: justify;"> <i>Muong Hoa valley</i></div> </i><div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Having just stopped the motorbike at Sapa ancient rock field and Ta Van Village, a group of indigenous children came to greet us warmly, asking us about our names and addresses, taking us to a big rock with some symbols on its face and letting us take photos. I felt a little bit disappointed because there were only some natural rocks, not like what I thought. After going around discovering, I came back the entrance because there weren’t any particular things to see. And then I didn’t know from where more than 10 children were joining the group, surrounding us and canvassing souvenirs. All of them said a lot and my boyfriend had been going. Even a child whispered to me (but like warning me) that If I didn’t buy for them, they wouldn’t let me leave. I felt a little scared. After a long time trying to get away from them, I had to buy 3 colorful bracelets made from threads but they really matched with my style. Going for long distance, both of us felt less scared and laughed a lot about this. So the experience to Sapa was preparing a fighting spirit, never be compliant like me.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> I came back to the town in the late afternoon with rather a cold atmosphere. This weather made people would like to be closer.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> After a long day visiting a lot, I started to feel sleepy and went to bed until night.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The night here was really fantastic. I wore a coat then went for a walk. The church became twinkling and the café, as well as the bar, also turned crowded. I decided to come in a roasting shop along the road. Sitting there made me feel exciting because I could both eat and see the people wandering. Sometimes I had to hug myself due to the cold winds and smelt the roasted food on the table. The food in this kiosk was so delicious that I had a different thought of Sapa roasted food and would try to eat more tomorrow. The second day ended more successfully than I expected.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <a href="http://hanoi.tips/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Sapa-2015-2.jpg"><img src="http://hanoi.tips/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Sapa-2015-2.jpg" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <b><div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>The third day</b></div> </b><div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Today I got up early; the town still seemed to be sunk in thick fog so I decided to sleep more. After the breakfast, I rented a motorbike to travel to Ta Phin Village. The deeper we went to the village, the foggier weather was. The first destination in this morning was Ta Phin monastery.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The next destination was Ta Phin Village of Red Dao People. They were really friendly and cute. They took me to visit the village and told me some stories that made me love the people and the life here more.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> I also visited Ta Phin Cave. On the way coming back, it rained heavily. Poor my boyfriend!</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Being backed Vietnam Sapa, we came in a small restaurant near the church, enjoying my favorite food and a little cat apple wine. Then I went to the hotel with light might.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Sapa at night became colder. We found a beautiful corner on the second floor of a bar on Cau May Street. This is the first time I drank a glass of cocktail having special meaning with a special person. I was so happy that I couldn’t say in words.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The last night in Sapa I felt a little bit regretful because I had good feelings about this place just in few days. I liked the atmosphere here. Although the weather was cold, I always felt warm.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <b><div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>The fourth day</b></div> </b><div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Today we had to get up early and traveled nearly 40 km of mountainous roads by bus to come back Lao Cai. According to our plan, we visited China until the afternoon we came back Lao Cai to get the train to Hanoi.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <b><div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>The final night</b></div> </b><div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Perhaps this night was my most memorable night. I has never got such happiness, such moments and such feelings like that before. I closed my eyes, tried to feel and stored all those wonderful things by heart. There were some short moments but having a long-lasting position in our heart. Outside the window, everything was being sunk in the dark and let behind forever.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> P/S: The trip were really meaningful to me. There were numerous experiences for a trip.</div>
