If someone asks me: “Do you prefer to be in the countryside or in the city?”, I will answer: “I like living in my neighborhood - a city.” It’s Yen Bai city - a peaceful and cool mountain area. Coming to Yen Bai, you can visit Suoi Giang - a place with a cool climate, majestic natural scenery or terraced fields bending along the mountain or Thuy Tien Cave - a place associated with the legend of nine beautiful fairies hiding in Jade Emperor’shadow or Valley Pass - one of the routes to supply weapons, equipment and food for the Dien Bien Phu Campaign, which suffered nearly 12,000 tons of bombs and bullets from the French colonialists… It is impossible not to mention the cultural beauty and bold traditions of 30 ethnic groups living in Yen Bai. Yen Bai is a gathering place of ancient Vietnamese people, with a humanized culture, reflected in relics, relics, stone tools, bronze drums and many archaeological sites discovered. The people here are very friendly, kind, hard-working, honest and dignified. Therefore, this place is an ideal place for tourists to experience and visit, which is considered an interesting and enjoyable experience. I have always loved my hometown of Yen Bai. I secretly promise to study well so that in the future, I will contribute to building my homeland and help Yen Bai to become more and more prosperous.

My neighbour lives in the house opposite to us. I often visit his house after school. I and his son Minh are good friends. We always play together. Whenever I visit his house, Minhh’s mother offers me sweets and chocolates. They are really welcoming people and our families share a nice bond. We often go to each other’s house and also share food. Whenever my mother prepares something special, she offers them. Same is also done by my neighbour. We also go for picnics or outings together.
