OUR VIETNAM
EXISTING IN HARMONY: A HEROIC HISTORY, BEAUTIFUL NATURE, AND ENDLESS CREATIVITY OF ITS PEOPLE AND NOW WE HAVE THE LAND OF CHARM
A JOURNEY ACROSS VIETNAM
Where can I find my hometown on the map of Vietnam?
What makes the place where I was born and raised so special?
You know, our country is very beautiful. From the white frothy waterfalls in the Northwest to the alluvial streams of Cuu Long River in the Southwest, from the vast forests home to many rare creatures to the offshore islands where our red flag with yellow star flies on top of the oil rigs, from the ancient lands with layers of history to the modern cities full of life... all of these come together on this beautiful S-shaped stretch of land, as if a spectacular treasure created, preserved and defended by our ancestors over thousands of years has now been passed onto us. Travelling through the country from north to south, from high up in the mountains down to the sea, is also a journey for discovering the distinctive and perse cultures of the 54 ethnicities.
Regardless of where you are on this S-shaped stretch of land, every road you take, every dish you eat, every work of architecture you see, all bear with them the mark of history, the essence of culture drawn from many generations. The 63 provinces all have their own geographical properties, and thus the terrain, the ethnic makeup and the cultural identity also carry their own signature imprints. All of these elements, together, create a unique landscape, differing yet harmonious, that brings about the dazzling beauty of an embroidered piece of tapestry that is called Vietnam.
Our goal here is to bring forth a reader-friendly book that covers the geography, history, cultures, and people, suitable to all ages. We aim to provide school students a specific and vivid picture of each region, each province on the map of Vietnam. In every piece of information, illustration, and color palette, lies the love of the proud descendants of our home country. PICTURE ATLAS OF VIETNAM - THE LAND OF CHARM, the journey to discover 63 provinces, has started from a place of such aspiration.
