Mysterious exotic Vietnam
Vietnam is a wonderful country, where everything is for recreation: delightful beaches with entertainment for every taste, an extensive excursion program, low prices for housing, a variety of leisure and high level of service. But there is one small drawback in this fabulous country - a trip to Vietnam will not be cheap because of the long and, therefore, expensive flight.
On vacation in Vietnam, the tourist will be sure to tell at least one of the many stories and legends that are hovering in the local air. For example, a very entertaining story or, one might even say, a legend of the creation of a moden country. Earlier, in particular, for 3 thousand years BC. in these lands, a man-dragon named Lak-Long-Kuan. He decided to extend his family and married Au Ka, who was a fairy bird. Over time, Au Ko "produced" a bag, and in it was a hundred eggs, from which the heir-ancestor of a hundred Vietnamese clans hatched. That's why the Vietnamese claim that they are direct descendants of the gods and dragons. After a while, the spouses had a breakdown, and they parted. The king took half of his sons and went to sea, and the mother with the remaining half went to live in the mountain range.
Most of the country is dominated by a subtropical climate zone, in mountainous regions the climate is temperate. In the spring months the country is dominated by warm and humid weather. In the southen regions of the country, the year is "divided" for two seasons - dry and wet. The wet season lasts from spring to autumn, with summer rainy seasons, and dry season falls on winter and ends in spring. Favorable time for rest in Vietnam - January and February, when the sea is warm, and the sun is not too hot.
In the central regions of the country in February-August, the air temperature reaches 35 degrees Celsius, with sunny days without precipitation prevailing here. In the northen part of the country, the winter is cold and wet, begins in November, and in February-March here is the season of shallow rain. In the summer season in the northen regions of the country the air warms up to 40 degrees Celsius.
