Last week, our family had chance to visit the land of two Kings( hometown of Phung Hung and Ngo Quyen king)- Duong Lam ancient village. On the west of Ha Noi, it took us about an hour to travel from the capital to this place by car. When coming to Duong Lam, we were immensely impressed by the fact that it has preserved the color of time with enigmatic world. through ups & downs, Duong Lam has sustained its ancient houses and the architectural features of a typical old vietnamese village with village gate, banyan tree and lotus pond. there has been up to 956 traditional houses that dates from the 16th century and geographycally scatters in Dong Sang, Mong Phu and Cam Thinh village,etc. Striking charateristics reflect in wooden houses together with blocks of laterite, located inside the village paved roads. Moreover, Duong Lam is very famous for its soybean sauce with the high quality as only a few places in Viet Nam. It was a great trip we have ever had when we could enjoy the peaceful life, fresh air as well as beatiful landscapes and share the hospitability of the locals. After the trip, I think I prefer village life to a bustle life in the city.
