Subject: Places of interest in Thanh Hoa

Dear Lexi,

I’m so glad to hear that you’re coming to Viet Nam.

It’s a pity that you can only spend one day in Thanh Hoa.

There are many interesting things you can do here, but I think within one day you are able to do three things.

First, you can go to Citadel of the Hồ Dynasty.It is located in Tây Giai commune, Vĩnh Lộc District, in Thanh Hóa Province, in Vietnam's North Central Coast region.Tây Đô castle is rectangular in shape. Its north-south side is 870.5 m (2,856 ft) in length and its east-west side is 883.5 m (2,899 ft) in length. There are four gates: one at the south (fore gate), one at the north (back gate), one at the east (left gate), and one at the west (right gate). The southern gate is 9.5 m (31 ft) high and 15.17 m (49.8 ft) wide.The castle was constructed from stone blocks, each of which is 2×1×0.7 m (6.6×3.3×2.3 ft) size on average.

Except for its gates, the castle is mostly ruined.

The Citadel was inscribed on UNESCO World Heritage Sites on June 27, 2011.

Secondly, It would be flawed not to mention the beaches and beaches when talking about Thanh Hoa tourism. Not only is an attractive beach, but Sam Son beach is almost the name associated with Thanh land, charming scenery, relaxation, the sky and the blue sky. Sam Son has a coastline of about 9 km, from the mouth of Hoi (Ma River) to Vu Tien (Vu Ngoc), with a gentle slope, fine white sand and warm sea water.

Whatever you want to be made, someone can make it happen as quickly as within 24 hours.

Last but not least, as a cuisine lover, you should definitely treat yourself with various special dishes here.

Tell me when you’re coming so I can take you to travel around.

Look forward to seeing you soon!

Best wishes,

Thao An
