Thanh Toan Bridge

It is a very special bridge, it not only a normal bridge but also a house on it.

She donated all her saving money and designed a bridge to connect both sides of the local canal.

As you know, about 90 percent of the villagers have overseas relatives, family members who live in western countries or the USA. They have been sending money home, much of which is used to build graves. Especially, due to the competition in the construction of the villagers, there are a lot of luxury graves costing fifty thousand US dollars for their ancestors or even for family members who have not died yet. They even built-in advance to be ready for their death.

Tam Giang Lagoon

The next place we will visit is the Tam Giang Lagoon. Tam Giang Lagoon is the largest lagoon in Southeast Asia with a total surface area of 22,000 hectares. All big rivers in the area such as Perfume River, O Lau River, and Bo River pour into Tam Giang Lagoon before going to the East Sea. Many traditional craft villages are situated along these rivers’ banks and the natural beauty and nearby mangrove forests have made the lagoon a popular tourist destination.
