- In this video we continue our adventures in Ninh Binh. We go to Chua Am Tien Temple, then we explore the local villages around Trang An, finding some great resturants and hidden street art. Then we embark on the most incredible boat trip, going through 9 caves and visiting 3 temples - absolutely incredible and worth the trip to Ninh Binh, one of our highlights of Vietnam. #fun #travelvlog #travelvlogger #caves #temple #greentea #limestone #resturant #food #streetfood #streetart #trangan #boattrip #boat

The turtle and the crane, said he, represents friendship and co-operation. In days gone past, a flood arrived upon the plains of Vietnam. The crane flew hither and thither but found no place to rest his wings. He stayed in the air for a long time and was about to drop with exhaustion when a young turtle arose out of the flood waters and offered his back to the tired bird to rest upon. In this manner, the turtle kept the crane alive long enough for flood waters to recede.
Years passed.
The crane owed the turtle an eternal debt. The 2 stayed in close touch, one a creature of the skies and the other a creature of the lakes. They grew old together for both are long lived creatures. And it came to pass that a terrible drought passed through Vietnam. It was a drought so long and so thirsty that it drank up all the water in the turtle's lake. Many animals died. The crane could not bear to see his friend perish. With a supreme effort (for the old turtle was heavy and the old crane was weak) the crane heft the turtle up into the air and carried him to another lake far away.
There, the 2 animals lived together in reciprocity... helping and caring for each other until each passed into the mists of time only errrr... to appear again on Petunia's blog.
This fairytale is told to little children in every village, and it teaches the value of helping each other and caring for one another. In every place of worship, one can find effigies of The Crane Upon The Turtle. To me, it speaks volumes about how the Vietnamese defeated not one but TWO world powers in wars. This is a warm and friendly people with deep undercurrents of ferocity and determination made more redoubtable because their social bonds are so strong.
O wow, thank you so much for that 👌
You should be wearing a hard hat/ helmet. What are those color orange thing in there? I want to see that cave soon...
