Partially restored structures under the auspices of UNESCO with aid rendered by other countries like India.

From this photo, we can see the layout of a Cham temple. The building on the left is the meditation hall, with the gate and then the temple (in the background). 

At the Tra Que Vegetable Village, even before the show started, our urban farmer Louisa, (seated) is negotiating to buy vegetable seeds, watched on by Helen.

 

The show has started with the farmer, and our guide assisting, explaining how to grow veggies. The outer garment and the conical hat are for protection against the sun. They didn't become nuns.

The guide showing how to water veggies.

The urban farmer (Louisa, right) is teaching and supervising Richard how to use the hoe.

A well-deserved foot and shoulder massage after the hard work.

The village chef demonstrating how to make Ban Xeo, a local pancake.

The "students" trying their hand at it. A good student must be able to make a flambe in the pan and then flip the pancake! 

And now to the Red Bridge Restaurant and Cooking School.

Master Chef Sen (David Copperfield as he calls himself) giving a class on Vietnamese cooking and cuisine

Wannabe chefs in action. We prepared ingredients for making salads and noodles which we ate later. Also learnt to decorate food for presentation. 

"David Copperfield" prepared this Wagyu Beef dish for us.

The famous Marble Mountain near Danang. One can walk up and down the mountain or take the elevator.

An elaborate Chinese temple

A temple within a cave. There are several caves in Marble Mountain.

The largest cave there. During the Vietnam War, the USAF wanted to bomb it to smithereens, but they only achieved making five holes in the roof. Vietcong soldiers were taking cover there.

A Cham temple within the cave. There is an entrance to prevent too many people overcrowding the altar within. 

 Statues of several deities can be seen. This one is of the Buddha.

Natural rock formations on the cave wall. The one nearer resembles an octopus while the other resembles an elephant's trunk. Viewed from the other side, the octopus resembles a camel. Need some imagination to envisage it.
