Izinto zitshintshile ngokuqinisekileyo kwisiXeko saseHo Chi Minh. Kodwa ke ndiye ndagqibela apha, ngaphezulu kweminyaka elishumi eyadlulayo, bendihamba ngebhasi yasekhaya kunye necyclo, intliziyo yam isemlonyeni wam njengezithuthi kunye nabahambi ngeenyawo bexubene ngesantya sokuzibulala kwizitrato ezikrazukileyo zeSaigon eyayineminqweno. yesimanjemanje kodwa wayesekwinqanaba lombhodamo “lophuhliso”.
Namhlanje indlela yam yothutho yahluke ngokupheleleyo. Ndihlangabezene kwaye ndakhatshwa ukuya kwiMercedes-Benz ekhazimlayo ukuze ndiqhube kubutofotofo obunomoya opholileyo phakathi kwesixeko nasezantsi ukuya kwindawo endisingise kuyo, kumbindi weMekong Delta. I-drive ityhila ukuba ihlabathi lanamhlanje ngokungathandabuzekiyo litshayela iVietnam ekuwongeni kwayo ngokulangazelela; Iimoto zaseJapan kunye neemopeds zininzi kuneebhayisekile ezilishumi ukuya kwenye, iivenkile zekhompyuter kunye neendawo eziphakamileyo zihluma kuso sonke isixeko, kodwa isiphithiphithi esiqhelekileyo sokuthunga iimoto kunye nabahamba ngeenyawo kusala ukundikhathaza.
Ngaphandle kwesixeko, isingqisho sakudala siyaphinda sibonakale; iindlela zintsha kwaye zigcinwe ngcono, kodwa iindawo zokuthengisela iziqhamo ezisemacaleni, amasimi abanzi aluhlaza, ukunyuka nokuwa rhoqo njengoko sitsibela phezu kwemilambo okanye imijelo kwiibhulorho ezomeleleyo, ukukroba kwezikhephe ezigwegwe ngesandla kunye nezikhephe ezinkulu zerayisi - le yimifanekiso ye-Delta ye-quintessential ayisayi kuze iphele. Imilambo emibini emikhulu ifuna ukuwela ngesikhephe, kwaye uphume emotweni ngesikhephe esigingqikayo, esigingqikayo ukuze ume ngaphambili nabantu abancumileyo bendawo yabo igcwele imveliso okanye amalungu osapho, ndiyaqonda ukuba ndingabuyela kuhambo lwam lokuqala. kulo mhlaba uvuselelayo.
Amaxesha onyaka achaza ukuhamba komlambo
I-Mekong Delta yingobozi yerayisi yaseVietnam, evelisa irayisi eyaneleyo ukondla ilizwe lonke kwaye isenayo intsalela eyaneleyo yokuthumela ngaphandle okunentsingiselo. Umxhasi wayo obizwa ngokuba yiMekong Song Cuu Long - "uMlambo weeDragons eziliThoba" njengoko abantu baseVietnam beyibiza njalo - kuba ngexesha ingene kweli lizwe emva kohambo olude ukusuka kwiThafa laseTibet, yahlulwe yaba ziindlela ezimbini eziphambili zamanzi- IHau Giang, okanye iLower River, ekwabizwa ngokuba yiBassac, kunye neTien Giang, okanye uMlambo oPhezulu, ophumela kuLwandle lwaseTshayina ngamanqaku amahlanu.
Isesibini sokuwela kwethu isikhephe sisishiya kunxweme olusemazantsi e-Bassac, ukusuka apho uhambo lwemizuzu emihlanu lusisa kumnyango oqingqiweyo weHotele iVictoria Can Tho. Indawo yayo esulungekisiweyo, yee-1930s-indlela yoyilo lobukoloniyali baseFransi, indawo yokuhlala enekholoni, kunye nabalandeli besilingi abajika-jikayo bandibuyisela kwihlabathi lamalungelo, abanini bezityalo, kunye ne-Indochina yaseFransi, kodwa ngokumangalisayo iVictoria Can Tho yakhiwe ukusuka ekuqaleni ngaphantsi kweshumi leminyaka eyadlulayo. kwisiqwenga samasimi epaddy ajongene nedolophu enkulu ngaphaya koMlambo iCan Tho. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, yeyona hotele inobunewunewu efumaneka kwingingqi yeMekong Delta, ebonelela ngokutya kwaseFransi okona mgangatho ubalaseleyo; enkulu, ibha yekholoniyali enetafile yokubhukuda; izibonelelo ze-spa; ikhotjiyethenisi; kunye nedama lokuqubha… ayikho into efana neyayikhe yahlala kwiDelta ngaphambili xa yayisakhiwa kwiminyaka elishumi eyadlulayo.
Urhulumente ubuyisela i-30 yeemitha zomhlaba emlanjeni phambi kwehotele kunye namakhulu eemitha kumacala omabini, enenjongo yokuyijika ibe yipaki efana nepaki. Ihotele iya kuqesha umhlaba ngokuthe ngqo phambi kwepropati yabo kwaye bayisebenzise ukwandisa ichibi labo lokuqubha, ukudala indawo entsha ye-spa, kunye ne-showpiece yokutyela engasemlanjeni - konke oku kuthetha ngokubanzi malunga nempumelelo yombono weqela le-Victoria ekuqikeleleni ukuba le mibala imbala. , ummandla onomdla osemazantsi eVietnam uya kuba yindawo ethandwayo yabahambi abaphezulu, kunye nabapakishi.
Kwaye kutheni uTho ethandwa kangaka phakathi kwabakhenkethi kunye nabakhenkethi? Ukufumanisa, ndibhukisha uhambo lwakusasa kwinqanawa yerayisi eguqulweyo yaseVictoria, iLady Hau - imizuzu engama-20 yokuhamba ngesikhephe, ikofu kunye necroissant esandleni, phezulu kuMlambo iCan Tho ukuya kwiMarike eDutywayo yaseCai Rang. Phambi kokuntwela kokusa yonke imihla, izikhephe ezinkulu zifika zivela kwi-Delta hinterland ukuza kuthengisa izixa ezikhulu zemveliso kubanini-zikhephe ezincinci abathi emva koko babheqe imijelo emincinci emincinci kunye neendlela zamanzi ezidala uthungelwano lwamanzi olukhulu noluntsokothileyo olujikeleze idolophu enkulu, bekhwaza iimpahla zabo. kumakhaya asecaleni komjelo njengoko behamba.
Ibhasikithi yerayisi yaseVietnam
Yindlela yokuphila etshintshe kancinci kumawaka eminyaka - kwilizwe apho amanzi egcwele yonke into, amaxesha onyaka achazwa ngokunyuka nokuwa kokuhamba okukhulu kweMekong, eyona ndlela ilungileyo yokutyelela abahlobo kunye nosapho, ukuthutha iimpahla. , eneneni ukwenza nantoni na, ngamanzi.
Ngeli xesha lonyaka, izikhephe kwimarike edadayo zigcwele iitapile, ikhaphetshu, iminqathe, namatswele asentwasahlobo, kunye namatswele, idragon fruit, icustard apples, kunye ne passionfruit. Yicornucopia yeziqhamo ezitsha kunye nemifuno, ubungqina bokuqina komhlaba ogquma iDelta, ugcwaliswa minyaka le xa iMekong iqhekeza iindonga zayo kunye nezikhukula, ishiya umaleko omtsha wentlenga etyebileyo apho iingcambu ezininzi zingena ngolangazelelo.
Nditshintshela kwisikhephe esincinci somsila omde kunye nentombazana encinci egama linguThoai Anh, eya kusebenza njengesikhokelo sam. Ukutyhutyha imarike yemelée, izikhephe ezincinci ezinamakhitshi avulekileyo zidlula phakathi kwabathengi kunye nabathengisi, zibonelela ngeesnacks ezishushu zenoodle kunye nesidlo sasemini kwabo bakhutheleyo bemarike. Iinjini zezikhephe ezikhulu zikhupha ubunzulu bestaccato egxothiweyo, njengeendlovu eziphaphazelayo ngesantya, ngelixa izikhephe ezincinci ziduma njengeengcongconi ezinobukhulu obukhulu - kunzima ukwazi ukuba ujonge phi, kuninzi okwenzekayo macala onke kuwe.
Ekugqibeleni sishiya imarike ngasemva kwaye sicime kwi-canal esecaleni. Sityelela umzi-mveliso werayisi wenoodles, umsebenzi wentsapho, onamalungu asibhozo asebenza ngobuchule, ngamnye enomsebenzi wakhe. Irayisi iqale ifakwe emanzini, emva koko yenziwe umgubo werayisi, oxutywe i-50/50 kunye ne-rice tapioca, emva koko iphekwe ibe yintlama encinci. Oku kufakwa kwi-hotplate umzuzu okanye emibini, ibe licwecwe elikhulu, elijika-jikajikayo nelithi ngobuchule liqengqeleke “kwilulwane” elilukiweyo ngaphambi kokuba lidluliselwe kwimethi elukiweyo. Ezi mathi zifunjwa zibe ziimfumba zize zisiwe elangeni, apho zibekwe kwi-expanses ukuze zome, ngaphambi kokuba zifakwe kwi-shredder efana ne-paper shredders efumaneka kwiiofisi zomthetho kunye nezikarhulumente. Kuyandimangalisa ukuxelelwa ukuba lo mzi-mveliso uvelisa i-500 kg ye-noodles ngosuku. Lusuku olude lokusebenza kunye nobomi obunzima, kodwa uThoai Anh akashukunyiswa. "Baphila ubomi obulungileyo, bakhuselekile," utsho - umsebenzi onzima unikwe kwiDelta, kodwa ukhuseleko lwemali alukho.
Ngokulandelayo sityelela igadi yeziqhamo; iintsapho ezininzi zisebenzisa umhlaba ezinawo ukulima iintlobo ezininzi zeziqhamo kangangoko kunokwenzeka. La mabhoma asiyomicimbi ecocekileyo enemithi ebekwe kwimiqolo ecocekileyo eyaziwa ziindwendwe ezisuka kwiindawo ezipholileyo—zifana namahlathi, apho imithi yeediliya ima ngaxhatha linye nejackfruit, i-longan, nelychee.
Imijelo yamanzi egobileyo
Siyaqhubeka, sijija indlela yethu kwindlela ethe tye, eyenziwe ngabantu kunye nakwimijelo yamanzi egoso. Kwiindawo, ezi zizikhephe ezibini kuphela ezibanzi, ezidityaniswe zizakhiwo ezilula ezenziwe kwisiqu somthi esinye nge-ukuba unethamsanqa - isiporo sesandla se-bamboo. Kulula ukubona ukuba kutheni ezi zibizwa ngokuba ziibhulorho zenkawu - uya kudinga ubuchule obufana ne-simian ukuze uwele, nangona amakhwenkwe amancinci kunye namantombazana eneneni ajikeleza, ndixelelwe.
Andazi ukuba sindawoni na kweli nqanaba, akukho mbono wecala okanye umgama esiwuhambileyo, kodwa ngequbuliso siphumela kwindlela enkulu yomlambo kwicala elikude ledolophu yaseCan Tho, ndaze ndehliswa kumlambo ophithizelayo wedolophu. Ipaki yepromenade, apho umfanekiso owenziwe ngesinyithi ongwevu kaHo Chi Minh - okanye uMalume Ho, njengoko aziwa ngolo hlobo - ugadwe lipolisa elikhupha abantu libakhuphele kude kumgama onentlonipho ukusuka kubukho bukaMalume uHo ehlekayo. Isaqhwithi sasemva kwemini siyeza - kodwa kwakhona, ndiyabona indlela amanzi alawula ngayo izingqisho zendalo zobomi kubo bonke abahlala apha - kwaye ndihlehla ehotele ukuze ndifumane iti, umdlalo we-backgammon, kunye nolonwabo lokufunda iphephandaba kwiveranda njengoko. ukupholisa iikhosi zamanzi emvula phantsi kophahla oluthambekileyo, ewela kwingxangxasi kwithayili enethayile zeterracotta.
Ngosuku olulandelayo, iveni yandilanda ehotele ukuze ndihlole umhlaba. Isikhokelo sam nguNghia, umntu oselula onomdla onolwazi lweencyclopedic ngembali yommandla kunye nenkcubeko. Undithatha kuqala ukuya kwindlu kaDuong-Chan-Ky, umnini-mhlaba wenkulungwane ye-19 owathi ngo-1870 wakha indlu emangalisayo apho abeka khona ingqokelela yakhe yefenitshala egqwesileyo kunye nezinto zakudala. Indlu idibanisa iimpembelelo zaseYurophu kunye neVietnam, kubandakanywa umgangatho omhle we-French-tiled floor apho ukwandisa iintsika ze-ironwood eziye zahlala ngaphezu kwekhulu kwaye mhlawumbi ziya kuhlala enye. Isibini esidala esisahlala endlwini ngamalungu osapho lwesizukulwana sesithathu.
Sidlulela kwidolophana encinane kummandla waseBin Thuoy (UMlambo Woxolo). Akukho nto imangalisayo ngale hamlet - ifana nawaphi na amawaka kwingingqi yeDelta esezantsi - kodwa yiyo loo nto ndinomdla wokuyibona, ukuzintywilisela kwisingqi sobomi bemihla ngemihla apha. Isemacaleni okudibana kwemijelo yomlambo - ewe - kwaye itempile yengwe inikela imbeko kwintsomi yasekuhlaleni exela indlela le ndawo eyayizaliswe ngayo ngamahlosi kunye nendlela abaseki bale lali baxolelana ngayo nomoya wengwe kwaye balufumana ukhuseleko lwayo.
Ngaba eyona tempile yakudala yaseTshayina
Ecaleni kwesitrato esikhulu, abathengisi bemarike bancuma beneentloni, abantwana abancinci badlula ngokuphindwe kane kwibhayisekile enye, kwaye kwiholo evulekileyo yebhiliyadi, abantu basekuhlaleni badlala bodwa beqesha itafile (3,000 dong ngeyure) okanye mhlawumbi ibhilidi isidlo sangokuhlwa ngaloo ngokuhlwa. Endleleni yethu ebuyela edolophini, simisa iikhilomitha ezimbalwa ukuya phezulu kweyona tempile yakudala yaseCan Tho, iHiep Thien Cung, eyakhiwa ngo-1850 ngabarhwebi baseTshayina abahlala apha. Uninzi lwamaTshayina lwayishiya iVietnam ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yoo-1970s emva kwamaza entshutshiso, kodwa itempile isatyelelwa ngabo bayincamatheleyo, kunye nabaseVietnam basekhaya, ababhejayo, becinga ukuba ayinakwenza bubi ukuthandazela. impilo kunye nempumelelo nakuphi na ukungafi, kungakhathaliseki ukholo.
Indawo yethu yokugqibela kukumakhi wezikhephe, inkosi esebenza nzima ihanjelwa ngumfundi wayo oselula. Izikhephe ezincinci kumanqanaba awahlukeneyo okwakha zipakishwe kwindawo yokusebenzela, zilindele abathengi abavela kwiilali ezinyukayo kwimisele. Isikhephe sixabisa i-1.5 yezigidi zeedong (i-100 yeedola zase-US), ngaphezulu kakhulu kunokuba abantu abaninzi banokufikelela, kodwa njengakuzo zonke iindawo zasemaphandleni, iintloko zelali ezityebileyo zihlala zithenga inani lezikhephe kwaye zivumele abanini bazo abatsha ukuba bayihlawule imali-mboleko xa bekwazi. Umakhi ophum’ izandla uyema ukuze aphumle kancinane aze ngobuchule andixelele oku, “Ndisebenza iiyure ezili-14 ngosuku, kodwa ndiyayonwabela loo nto, yaye usuku lukhawuleza.” Uyonwabile ngeqashiso lakhe - kuya kuhlala kukho imarike yezandla zomlambo ezakhiwe kakuhle kuMama weMilambo.
Kwiziko leCan Tho, itempile yaseKhmer ibonisa isitayile soyilo saseThai, esahluke kakhulu kwitempile yaseVietnam yobuhlanga engaphaya kwendlela. Obu bunzima bugcinwa ngononophelo kwaye buxhaswa ngokucacileyo zizityebi zaseVietnam zasekhaya. Itempile yaseKhmer, ngokuthelekisa, iyindawo encinci, ebonisa ukunqongophala kweminikelo. I-Khmers lelona candelo lincinci kwaye lihlwempuzekileyo kubemi. Amakhwenkwe amaKhmer onke achitha unyaka okanye iinyanga ezili-18 njengemonki ethobela iminqweno yabazali bawo, nangona ebonakala engafani neemonki njengoko ehleli ngokuncokola iziqhulo kunye nokutshaya imidiza kwisakhiwo esiphambi kwetempile.
Ngosuku olulandelayo, ukukhanya kwasekuseni kuhlamba i-facade kaVictoria Can Tho entle emthubi namhlophe ekukhanyeni okubugolide – isibane esisulungekileyo, esithambileyo esingenamisi yamashishini. Eli ikwalelona xesha lilungileyo lokuzula-zula edolophini, phambi kokuba kushushu kakhulu. Isiphithiphithi sobomi bomlambo sesona siqhelo sikhoyo ngeli xesha, isithuthi sikhupha izihlwele zabasebenzi kunye nabathengi kwelinye icala lomlambo, ngaphambi kokufunxa inani elilinganayo bonke abanomdla wokuwela ukuya kwicala elikude.
ICan Tho yeyona dolophu inkulu kwingingqi yeDelta, kwaye iyakhula. Iivenkile ezithengisa iimopeds, izixhobo zale mihla, kunye nezixhobo ezikumgangatho ophezulu zihlala ecaleni kweendawo ezithengisa ukutya okomileyo kunye neevenkile ezimibalabala ezithetha ngezinto zonqulo. Iikhilomitha ezimbalwa emazantsi omlambo ukusuka edolophini kukho ibhulorho enqunyanyisiweyo, ngoku ewela uMlambo iBassac obanzi, iprojekthi yamabhongo yeminyaka emihlanu egqitywe ekuqaleni kwale veki iza kuvula iDelta esemazantsi ngokwenza ukuba ifikeleleke ngakumbi, ishenxisa umqobo we-Delta. isikhitshane esinqumlayo ngoku kunye nokunciphisa ixesha lokuqhuba ukuya kwiSixeko saseHo Chi Minh malunga neyure.
Imimoya engahambelaniyo igcwele umoya
Kodwa ukuzula-zula oku ngeendlela ezininzi kwidolophu yaseAsiya, amavumba amabini aqala ukungahambelani atyhutyha umoya, ekwazisa ukuba ukwi-Indochina yesiFrentshi: ikofu kunye nesonka esitsha - enye yezona zithethe zimnandi zobukoloniyali eziye zanyamezela eVietnam. yinkcubeko yekofu nebaguette eyafakwa ngamaFrentshi ngexesha lokuhlala kwawo kulo mhlaba ushushu. Iivenkile zekofu zininzi, zinezihlalo ezisezantsi, ezinje ngezitulo ezijonge esitratweni ngokwemiqolo – iindawo ezingabizi mali ininzi kodwa ezichwayitisayo zokuphumla nokubukela ihlabathi lidlula. Iibhayisekile ezikhululekileyo zigqithise iibhaskithi ezigcwele iibaguettes ezintsha, zishiya imizila yevumba elibomvu elikutsalela ngakumbi kwizitalato ezingasemva. Yindawo elula, kufuneka ubukele ixesha okanye usuku lonke luya kunyamalala phambi kokuba uyazi.
Nantso into ekungafanele ndiyenze, kuba ngale mvakwemini ndiya kwipropathi yeVictoria kwenye iDelta eChau Doc, idolophu encinci yentengiso nakwiBassac, kodwa ngaphezulu kweekhilomitha ezili-100 phezulu, kufutshane nomda weCambodia. Umlambo yindlela ekhawulezayo yokufika apho, kwaye ihotele iqhuba inkonzo ye-speedboat phakathi kwezi zibini. Luhambo olunika umdla lweeyure ezine, oluzaliswe zizinto ezibangela umdla njengoko isikhephe siqala ngokuwola udonga lwasekunene lomlambo njengoko sityhalela phezulu kumlambo onamandla. Iinqanawa ezinkulu zamaplanga zityhutyha ijelo eliphambili, elakhiwe ngendlela efanayo nenqanawa ye-Mekong encinci, kodwa enkulu ngokwaneleyo ukuba ingahamba elwandle, ithwele imithwalo emikhulu yerayisi kunye nemifuno ngaphandle-kunye neebhayisekile, iimoto kunye nombane.
Iifektri zokwenziwa kweentlanzi zithe thaa elunxwemeni, kodwa njengoko umlambo ucutheka - e-Can Tho ingaphezulu kwekhilomitha ububanzi - umbono uba ngamaphandle, kunye neminatha yokuloba yaseTshayina ebekwe elunxwemeni lomlambo kunye needolophu ezivale imijelo emininzi esecaleni ukuba inyoka. indlela yabo ukuya kumhlaba othe tyaba ongaphaya.
Ekugqibeleni, ndibona induli ngaphambili - okokuqala ngeentsuku - kwaye ekudibaneni kwe-Bassac kunye nomzila wamanzi obubanzi obuziimitha ezingama-200 odibanisa ne-Tien Giang, i-Mighty Mekong's Upper River, singena e-Victoria Chau Doc. Ihotele, apho ndihlangatyezwa lilungu labasebenzi elinxibe i-ao dai entle - ngokuqinisekileyo ilokhwe yesizwe yaseVietnam, indibaniselwano yeebhulukhwe ezixengayo kunye nobude obuthe kratya amadolo obuthungelwe phezulu bonke ngesilika egqwesileyo, yeyona nto intle kwimpahla yaseAsia.
Isikhokelo sam sokuhlala kwam apha nguTan Loc, owayesakuba ngumfundisi-ntsapho othethela phantsi, ufundile kwaye unolwazi oluphangaleleyo ngedolophu yakowabo. Njengoko sikhwela isikhephe esincinci kutyelelo lwasekuseni kwimarike edadayo kaChau Doc - yonke ilali yaseDelta inayo, ewe, undixelela ngokubandezeleka kwabazali bakhe bobabini ngexesha leMfazwe yaseMelika nakwizandla zeKhmer Rouge, owathi ngexesha lemfazwe. iminyaka yoo-1970 yayiza kwenza uhlaselo lokubulala ngaphaya komda, okwiikhilomitha ezine kuphela ukusuka apho. UTan Loc oselula nentsapho yakhe bayishiya loo ngxaki kodwa babuya ngokukhawuleza emva kokuba bekhuselekile.
"Uyazi, sinama-Cham Muslim, ama-Khmers, amaBhuda kunye nama-Vietnamese angamaKristu, umxube onjalo wabantu e-Chau Doc, kodwa siphila ngokubambisana apha, akukho ngxabano," kusho uTan Loc ngokuzingca. Mhlawumbi baye bafumana uloyiko nentlungu ngokwaneleyo, kwaye baqonda ukuba lilize kongquzulwano ngokobuhlanga okanye ngokwenkolo.
Ukuzibamba kwilali edadayo
Imakethi edadayo ilandela isingqisho esifanayo neseCan Tho, nangona ikwinqanaba elincinane, kwaye emva koko umqhubi wesikhephe usithatha ukuya kubona izindlu ezidadayo ezidumileyo zikaChau Doc. Zakhelwe phezu kweqonga lamagubu e-oyile angenanto, kwaye into engaqhelekanga ngawo kukuba enyanisweni yintoni engaphantsi, kuba ezantsi kumanzi anodaka iMekong kukho iindlwana ezinkulu zocingo apho kulinywa amakhulu ngamakhulu eentlanzi. Intsapho ibondla ngocango oluphakathi kumgangatho wegumbi lokuhlala, yaye emva kokuba intlanzi imalunga nekhilogram enye ngobukhulu, iyawavuna, ibeke izidumbu zawo ezibilayo nezinemiqolo kwimiqolo phantsi kwelanga ukuze zome.
Siqhubela phambili, sihamba singena kwilali edadayo, sidlula abasetyhini abanxibe imibalabala ngamandla bebheqa ngesandla isikhephe sabo esifana nephenyane ukusuka kwelinye ikhaya ukuya kwelinye-indawo yasemaphandleni yeDelta engaphelelwa lixesha. Ukufika kumhlaba owomileyo, sithatha uhambo olufutshane kwilali yaseCham ukuya kwiMosque yaseMubarak, apho abantwana abancinci bafunda iKoran kwigumbi lesikolo kufuphi nemosque ethozamileyo kodwa ecocekileyo, i-minaret yayo kunye nophahla olunophahla ngandlel’ ithile lubonakala lugqibelele ekhaya kweli thafa limanzi.
Zininzi ezinye iindawo ezingcwele zokutyelela kumbindi wedolophu, ukusuka kwiicawa ukuya kwiitempile kunye neepagodas, kodwa eyona nto ichukumisayo yiTempile kaLady Xu, iikhilomitha ezintandathu kwintshona yedolophu emazantsi enduli endayibonayo xa ndandifika eChau Doc. , eneneni ebizwa ngokuba yiSam Mountain. Sifika apho kwiJeep yaseMelika yaseVictoria ebuyiselwe ngokugqibeleleyo, iipaki zemikrolo yamatye kunye neendawo ezintsha zokungcebeleka ezisendleleni, ezibonisa indlela ethandwa ngayo nale ndawo yeDelta.
Ayothusi into yokuba kumhlaba wonke okwithafa lezikhukhula ezisezantsi, umqobo oziimitha ezingama-260 unokunikwa iwonga lentlonipho. Intaba yaseSam likhaya leetempile ezininzi, iipagodas, kunye nokubuyela emqolombeni, uninzi lunamabali kunye namabali. ITempile kaLady Xu, kwisiseko sayo, mhlawumbi ineyona nto ibalaseleyo, kuba umfanekiso oqingqiweyo ekwakhiwe kuwo isakhiwo esiphambili, wawusencotsheni yentaba. Ebudeni benkulungwane ye-19, amajoni aseSiamese azama ukuwuba, kodwa lo mfanekiso uqingqiweyo waba nzima ngakumbi njengoko wawusihla endulini, yaye kwanyanzeleka ukuba uwushiye ehlathini. Kamva wafunyanwa ngabahlali basekuhlaleni, abazama ukuwuphakamisa, kodwa kwakhona umfanekiso oqingqiweyo wangqineka unzima kakhulu.
Ngequbuliso kwathi gqi intombazana ethile yaza yabaxelela ukuba yayinokuthwalwa kuphela ziintombi ezinyulu ezingama-40, yaye oku kwangqineka kuyinyaniso, kuba ezo ntombi zaziyimfuneko zaziwuthwala ngokulula umfanekiso oqingqiweyo uwuse emazantsi entaba apho ngequbuliso waphinda washukunyiswa kwakhona. Abahlali bakholelwa ukuba kulapho uLady Xu wayefuna ukuba umfanekiso wakhe uhlale khona, kwaza kwamiselwa indawo yetempile. Ngaphakathi, itempile yi-kaleidoscope yepeyinti enemibala, ukukhanya kwekhandlela, kunye neon gaudiness, kodwa yindawo enkulu yokuhamba kuzo zombini iintsapho zaseTshayina naseVietnam, ezizisa iihagu ezigcadiweyo ukuze zinike ngokutshintshiselana nobabalo lweNkosikazi.
Ukuma kwam kokugqibela kukwincopho yentaba, ukusuka apho umbono okhuthazayo we-360-degree undinika enye imbono yendlela iMekong eyalela ngayo yonke into yobomi apha. Imijelo emikhulu yomhlaba iphantsi kwamanzi, ngoxa imijelo yamanzi egoso-gophe nemijelo yotolo ethe tye, eyenziwe ngumntu inabela kumgama omfiliba, udonga lwayo ludalwe zizindlu ezineentsika, izikhephe ezibotshelelwe kuyo yonke indawo ecaleni kwayo. Emazantsi nasentshona, ezinye iinduli ziphawula umda weKhambodiya kunye nencam yethafa lezikhukula. Ukusuka apho, ubomi buhluke kakhulu, bulawulwa zezinye izinto zendalo kwaye zihlaliswa ziinkcubeko ezahlukeneyo ngokulinganayo. I-Mekong Delta lihlabathi ngokwalo, elingaqhelekanga phantse kuyo yonke ingqiqo, elizaliswe zizinto ezibonwayo, izandi, kunye namavumba avuselela ikhonkco lawo elingenakwahlulwa kuMama wemilambo.
