Cards from Vietnam



Located in the southeast of Dau Go Island, about 800 meters away from Lu Huong Islet, are two small towers, 12m high, which emerge from the sea like two fighting cocks. It is an outstanding feature of Halong Bay and was used as a symbol of Vietnam Tourism in 2000. (source)

Hoa Lo street and The Hỏa Lò Prison was a prison used by the French colonists in Vietnam for political prisoners, and later by North Vietnam for prisoners of war during the Vietnam War when it was sarcastically known to American prisoners of war as the "Hanoi Hilton". The prison was demolished during the 1990s, though the gatehouse remains as a museum. (source)

Ha Long Bay, in the Gulf of Tonkin, includes some 1,600 islands and islets, forming a spectacular seascape of limestone pillars. Because of their precipitous nature, most of the islands are uninhabited and unaffected by a human presence. The site's outstanding scenic beauty is complemented by its great biological interest.
