古城門

時隔4年來到老城市,幾乎是一樣的,感情也隨之而來,今天上午下雨了,路很亂,雖然有點不方便,但是很好

升龍古城唯一僅存的城門 - 東河門Ô Quan Chưởng。這個城門到現在還是河內交通要道，與旁邊熱鬧的同春市場和小店舖巧妙的融合在一起，尤其是晚上來到這裡會有很美的燈光照射在城門上，超有情懷。東河門又被稱為“觀掌閣”，建於西元1749年後黎朝，是河內唯一僅存的升龍古城關口。東河門雖然是遺迹但是沒有被封閉，人和車都能夠通過城門去河內的其他地方。古迹就這樣跟河內居民零距離的生活依存著。

很古老的一座城池的入口，不是很寬闊，大門也是石頭的結構，很多的特色的老式風格，古城門也是也是很悠久的歷史回顧，這裏的環境也是很嘈雜的。

Old city gates are different in that they are carved naturally in the urban environment. The walls are huge. We should understand how the whole city of Hanoi was closed in ancient times. The French Quarter is the center of an old colonial town, and today you can walk through external markets and narrow streets, as the French did in the 1930s.

今天參加了組隊自遊行，由兩位大學生帶領沿途講解本地的歷史。兩位都很友善及帶我們去不同的地方遊歷。 但景點全是越南文及沒有詳細說明，有點迷惘。如果有英文對照更佳，給遊人更加深入了解，及古舊的建築物希望繼續保留和保護下去。幾年前來過這裏，我們當時在當地市場，打算再次來遊玩古城門。這裏值得一看，因為這裏很有歷史感，很漂亮，也是個拍照片的好地方。推薦給遊客們。

The second time I came to Hanoi, it was just as easy to get lost. I always feel that if I can have a bird's eye view, I'm sure I won't get lost again. The scenery and life in the vicinity are rich and worth exploring. Vietnamese people's livelihood is different from China's: there are many street vendors, mostly women and the elderly; chaotic but not busy; small and complete shops, like a tourist city, more like an old city, can easily find the fresh breath of life and life; old people support each other reluctantly, very wise; sister still leads the fashion, never like failure. Next time, stay longer, one or two months, learn Vietnam's wisdom of life, slow but orderly, chaotic but clean, especially in the mind of the road concept, how to identify. Like Vietnam is a strong flavor of life, from morning to night.
