What I Liked About Vietnamese Culture As A Tourist

<p>Vietnamese culture is influenced by Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. Families are highly valued, and the elders are given a lot of reverence and respect.</p> <p>Vietnam has a rich tradition of ancestor worship, with families offering prayers to their ancestors on special holidays.</p> <p>There are some special features of Vietnam that I wish to highlight.</p> <h2>Architecture</h2> <p>The architecture of Vietnam depicts its culture, history, and tradition.</p> <p>The materials that they use the shapes, lines, curves, and colors are unique masterpieces.</p> <p>Vietnamese architecture consists of extravagant palaces that are influenced by French culture and the Pagodas and Buddhas by the Buddhist culture.</p> <p>The Pagodas are completely Buddhist and are not influenced by French Art.</p> <p>If you look at the architecture above you will see the intricacy and beauty of the Pagodas. They are very oriental.</p> <p>They are angular with curves and arches. The arches are just perfect to house the Buddhas</p> <p>I was stunned by the multiple tiers. The wood carving, painting, and stone sculpture are stunning.</p> <p>I looked at all the angles and this was the best picture I could get of the whole pagoda.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/globetrotters/what-i-liked-about-vietnamese-culture-as-a-tourist-e1d0a0f11604"><strong>Visit Now</strong></a></p>
