I ann in Danang , Vietnam - part 2

I am in Danang Vietnam  -part 2

Now I have been here for the third day and I have busted Bana Hill resort and it a former French dwelling places and it has so much of French architecture influences. The French occupies Vietnam for 80 years . One of the significant  remains is the dancing fountain which goes with the timing of a French song .

After 3 days here , I noticed the influence of the  Chinese , Japanese , French and the Americans  A melting pot of so many cultures and heritage and a vital passage way for the Indochin countries ie Laos and Cambodia to the rest of the world.

There is so much influence of Taoism , Buddhism , Islam and the most is Hinduism. The people believe in Siva , the lord of creation , life and destruction. The power of three in one. The most powerful God.

The religion compares life to a day's activity . The sun rise in the east , goes into noon at the peak  and slides into evening and ends in the night ie settling into the west . This philosophy compares to a human life of birth , age, sickness and death.
The day's routine goes into this repetitious cycle from the start to the end .

Vietnam don't have its only language and is modified from Chinese to Vietnamese by ending of a mark at each word.
After watching their performance in a show which includes songs and music performance , I realized that the style and their music and singing performance is very similar to the Chinese Teow Chew style . Yes, the influence of the Chinese culture was very significant.

At the top of the Bana Hill resort , there is a Chinese Temple  which house a big bell for people to hit it and sent out a sound to wake the Gods. It was so cold on the top and serene.  The air is fresh and the  Chi is so strong . An amazing meditation ground for the fated.
