[Adventure] Biên Hòa Viet Nam - The Nostalgic And Slow City

I've been planning on writing and posting photos of traveling for a while but finally create this post today after a long procrastination.

My first impression when i went to Bien Hoa is that it has the vibe of 2009, the life there is very slow, people don't rush in a way that we used to in bigger city, especially in Ho Chi Minh city, it's only 30km from here but has a completely different vibe.

I got there from HCM city, on the route that passes the Hoa An bridge. The bridge is very long which gives us the tremendous feeling of how massive the Dong Nai river is.

People in Bien Hoa are friendly, they even greeted me while taking photos along the riverside. Here are some other photos i took while walking along the riverside.

Around 100m away from the place i took the photos above, there is also Tan Lan temple, it's kinda famous there. I didn't get inside but from the outside, i find that it has very unique architecture with many small statues over the roof

About 1 km away, there's a church that's quite captivating which is very crowded on Sunday. Since i couldn't get inside, I didn't take the picture of the whole church but only the statue outside

There's a lot to explore but i only have a limited time in that evening. Here are some picture of the other side of the bridge (same side of the river but on the other side of the bridge) where they are building a very long and big road.

You can have a look at the photo of the bridge above, it literally looks hazy like that, it has some nostalgic vibe i cannot describe but also cannot find it anywhere else.

Here's a coffee shop, there a many coffee shop with modern look but this one has Ha Noi vibe, the price of a local coffee is really cheap compared to Ho Chi Minh city.
