beach down at Hai Van pass

The overlook from Hai Van pass looks very nice. Everyone did a good job... but VietYue's answer is the most correct.

Where is my beautiful card? icon_smile.gif
My guess based on the second picture showing ca^y du*o*ng.... "Ha`ng Du*o*ng Co^n Dda?o.... "

Well, forward that card to XigonCongchua for me!

Btw, what does Xigon stand for? (Xigon=Xa^'y Cung= Ta^y Co^'ng=Saigon ????)

Now, another guess. This one should be way too easy for some, but very difficult for others.

VietYue
Well, look at the budhist temple name in Chinese characters "Tru'c La^m Ye^n Tu*?"
So, no need to say it out loud, I assume most of us know where it is right?

Btw, it can be hard if not being able to read Chinese characters. Lucky me, I can read many words but not writing them:(
FYI: the character on the grass below "Phuc" is "Ta^m" if someone wanna know what it is.

Your guess is correct again, VietYue.

This temple on one of the highest mountains is cool. "Buddhist history recounts (source)that, at the end of the 13th century, after defeating Mongol invaders, King Tran Nhan Tong abdicated the throne in favour of his son Tran Anh Tong and moved to Yen Tu to practise a religious life." (Comment: now that's what a truly great leader does, unlike those pretentious leaders, not unknown to Vietnam's recent and current history, who made or had followers who made their names and faces appear on national bank notes many years before their own death, and on city's avenues a mere couple of years after their death).

What does "Tru'c La^m Ye^n Tu*?" mean ? and Ta^m ?

Ok people, guessing this particular place is so easy icon_smile.gif But since you like those photos just as much as I do, please indulge me and enter your guess OK ? Ok.
(Note: If you're 100% sure of the place name, you can just enter the last letter of the place name if you will).
