    Ein Stück stilles Vietnam

    Diese Tour war anders als alles, was ich in Vietnam bisher erlebt habe. Chris hat uns mit viel Ruhe und Wissen durch den Tag begleitet.

    Sa Dec war ein Farbenmeer. Keine Touristenmassen, sondern echte vietnamesische Gärtner bei der Arbeit. Das Xeo-Quyt-Waldgebiet war magisch — wir sind mit dem Ruderboot durch Wasserwege geglitten, fast lautlos. Chris zeigte uns alte Kriegsbunker, versteckt unter Wurzeln und Lianen.

    Zum Schluss das alte Haus aus dem Roman Der Liebhaber — atmosphärisch und geschichtsträchtig. Wer Vietnam jenseits von Motorrollern und Großstadtlärm erleben will, sollte diese Tour machen.

    Daydreams of flowers and floating trees

    I didn’t know much about this part of Vietnam before coming, but Danh opened it up with passion and warmth. The flower village was like a dream — you walk through rows and rows of blooming life, guided by locals who grow them year-round.

    Xeo Quyt forest felt sacred. Danh explained the history of the bunkers while we floated through ancient trees. You could feel the stillness in your bones. He let us take it all in without rushing.

    Lunch was delicious and local. I really appreciated that it wasn’t touristy. The old house in Sa Dec wrapped up the day with elegance. I still can’t get over how romantic it felt.
