In a country ravaged by war there are still quite a few sights
of interests for a casual tourist here – its Beaches, the Marble Mountains, the
Cham Museum and some religious shrines. And then there is a spectacle likely to
arouse the interests of a plant lover; Bonsai, the Japanese art form of growing
miniature trees in containers
Bonsai in Vietnam are seen anywhere and everywhere and you may
not even have to spend a penny for it or need the Services of a guide. From
mansions to slums, on balconies, in temples and shops, even on the backs of
motorbikes you see them everywhere. Big, old and magnificent and grown in
different forms and techniques, they come in different ages and sizes. You can
only admire the care and attention they must have received from their owners
and the efforts needed for such creations with years and years of toil in
different climates, regular watering and fertilizing and pruning. Sad part though
is you may not be allowed to carry one back with you due to travel
restrictions.
