Vietnam Krieg – Spezial zum 50. Jahrestag – Von Hue zur DMZ über Route QL 1

Reisetagebuch: Von Huế zur DMZ

Anlässlich des 50. Jahrestages des Kriegsendes beschloss ich, mich zur DMZ zu wagen, die etwa 100 km von der ehemaligen Kaiserstadt Huế entfernt liegt. Es war nicht mein erstes Mal in dieser Region, aber eine psychologische Barriere hatte sicherlich meine Neugier zurückgehalten, diese Straße in Richtung Norden zu nehmen, ohne wirklich auf weitere kulturelle oder touristische Küstenorte zu stoßen.

Mountains and People of Ha Gian Region

“I’m contemplating the mountains crossed by the stripes in geometric pattern similar to the locals clothing fabrics. These people have found refuge here, among the heights that scare both Hans and Kinh people from the lowlands.

Album Vintage – Crossing the Mekong Delta at Can Tho in the years 2000

Before the bridges were built to span the various arms of the Mekong river, traveling through the Delta meant to wait for the ferries. The most famous one was replaced by the Cần Thơ Bridge, constructed over an arm of the Mekong, the Bassac (or Hau Giang), near the city of Cần Thơ.
“It’s the crossing of a ferry on the Mekong. The elegant man has stepped out of the limousine. He smokes an English cigarette.
