21 July 

Last month, I visited Cần Thơ, a city located in the Mekong Delta region in the south of Việt Nam. Cần Thơ is famous for its canal network and floating markets. There are also many floating restaurants, bars and hotels. I was astonished at the beauty of the markets. It was a lovely place! The place that I was particularly impressed is Bình Thủy ancient house which is about 5 kilometres from Cần Thơ city centre. This French-style house was built in 1870 in an area of nearly 6,000 square metres. Until now, the house restores the interior features of a house in the rural areas in the Mekong Delta region during the 20th century. This is an ideal place to explore the history of the region. With front- and backyard gardens, the house looks like a comfortable home filled with fresh air! I would recommend spending half of a day in this place. I thought it was really relaxing!

The Lake District

Last year I visited a beautiful place, the Lake District Cumbria in the UK. It is the most popular national park in this country. Every year 15 million people visit the area. The landscape is wonderful – there are lakes mountains beaches and breathtaking views. The Lake District is the wettest place in England but the dramatic skies are part of the attraction. Lake Windermere is eleven miles long and is a must for all visitors. If you enjoy walking hiking climbing or water sports the Lake District is an ideal place for your holiday.
