The peculiar Du Sinh Church
As Catholic churches go, Du Sinh church in Da Lat has architecture that might not be seen anywhere else. That peculiarity does not only serve as a tourist magnet but also reflects the fascinating cultural and religious life of the Vietnamese people. Du Sinh church was built in 1956 and inaugurated on Christmas of 1957, except for the bell tower which was completed in 1962. Overall, the exterior of Du Sinh church is indeed similar to a Vietnamese temple. The church is located on a hill on Huyen Tran Cong Chua street in Da Lat city. The church’s gate is built with three doors and a simple structure. From the gate to the cathedral there is a ramp divided into 5 levels. A pair of giant cement dragons lie in wait from the bell tower floor to the gate.

In the third lunar month every year (around late March and early April), ngo dong, or Chinese parasol trees, are in full bloom throughout the Imperial City of Hue, Thua Thien-Hue Province.
In the 19th century, King Minh Mang (1820-1841) of the Nguyen Dynasty brought parasol seeds from China to plant around Can Chanh Palace and other important spots in the citadel. The king hoped that he would soon have a prince when planting these trees. Vietnamese then believed when a phoenix perched on a parasol tree, a prince would be born.
Hue museum displays King Minh Mang artifacts The Hue Museum of Royal Antiquities is featuring more than 40 artefacts dating to the time of King Minh Mang (reigning 1820-1839) at Ngu Phung Pavilion to mark the 200th anniversary of his reign in the former Imperial Citadel of Hue, a UNESCO heritage site.
At the exhibition, visitors can view the seal of Quoc Su Quan, an agency that researched and compiled Nguyen dynasty history books, established at the start of Minh Mang’s reign. In 125 years (1820-1945), this agency compiled many valuable documents.
Visitors can also view other ancient urns made of porcelain and bronze.
