| Summary |
Healing from a history of war is helping Vietnam take major steps into the modern world; still it retains its sublime beauty and remains a country of enchantment. Here we witness its cultural growth and natural beauty from the open markets in the coastal city of Da Nang, the major port in the central part of Vietnam, known for art and architecture from the Cham dynasty. South to Hoi An, known as the "Ancient City," it was established in the 15th century by the Chinese as a major trading port. To the Marble Mountains, also called Ngu Hanh Son or Mountains of the Five Elements, one for each peak, this area is famous for its traditional practices of stone engraving. Nearby is China Beach, a beautiful secluded beach made famous by the popular television series of the same name. Next we fly to Bali; called "Paradise Island," it is the most popular destination in Indonesia, known for its friendly people, sculptured rice paddies, beautiful jungles, lush mountain scenery, and spectacular beaches. The majority of Balinese are Hindu and here we visit the Goa Lawah Temple, a Shivaite temple founded over 1000 years ago; also we explore its well known "bat cave." |
