Markets and Cathedrals in Vietnam
Monday, September 01, 2008
Markets and Cathedrals are also famous places to visit in Vietnam.
If Benthanh Market is famous in Ho Chi Minh, Dalat is famous of its Cho Dalat (Dalat Market). It is where you can buy different kinds of dried fruits and is famous of its strawberries and strawberry jam. It is the best place to visit specially at night. There are restaurants and bars in front of the market. You'll see lots of "Non" (woman carrying baskets on their shoulders and wearing hats) selling fruits, vegetables, and street food. Also street vendors line up on the street who run here and there when they hear a police car siren. It is crowded at night with the people selling and buying clothes, fish and vegetables.
Notre Dame Cathedral in Dalat- We went there on a weekday and we didn't expect to see lots of people inside attending the mass. There was a mass even on weekday.
Notre Dame Cathedral in Ho Chi Minh- It is one of the most famous attractions in Ho Chi Minh. Established by French colonists, the cathedral was constructed between 1863 and 1880. It has two bell towers, reaching a height of 58 meters (190 feet). There are lots of tourists visit here and taking lots of pictures.
