旅行第一站:1/8/08~Tam Coc, Ninh Binh

Tam Coc - Bich Dong (Vietnamese: Tam Cốc - Bích Động) is a popular tourist destination near the city of Ninh Binh in northern Vietnam. People also called this as Halong on the land. Vast limestone cliffs rise out of the rice paddies.
The Tam Coc (“three caves”) portion is a three-hour excursion by small boat along the Ngo Dong river, beginning at the village of Van Lam and proceeding through a scenic landscape dominated by rice fields and karst towers. The boats are typically rowed by one or two local women who also sell embroidered goods.





午餐过后,天开始下起雨,但却并没阻止前进的旅程。










和我同一艘船的是来自荷兰的男生,也是一个人旅行,过后也是会去北京看奥运。我们就这样的在细雨中欣赏风景。





这里真得很平静,没有像下龙湾的名气,反而有一个脱俗的美,平凡而简单。
有时,人生应该这样,听听划水声,简朴的生活一样令人满足。
途中,有船夫兜售纪念品,他们的好像在逼你一定要买似的。快上岸时,我们的船夫也一样,一直说‘小费’,‘Tip, tip ah'。 我和那位男生都不喜欢这样,哪有人逼你给小费的啊?丢了1000VND给他们就走了。
贫穷让他们活得没了自尊,渴望从游客身上讨取一些生活费。
