高中二年级英语(人教版)下册 Unit 15 Integrating Skills 2

　　Ho Chi Minh City lies in the south of the country and is sometimes called "the heart and soul of Vietnam". Despite its size and modem look, Ho Chi Minh City has still kept its old traditions and culture. Visitors can learn about the art, history and culture of the country in the many museums of the city. There are also parks, gardens and temples where tourists and locals alike can find shade from the hot sun and a moment's rest from the busy city.

　　For a change of pace, head north to Hanoi, one of Asia's most romantic cities. The capital of Vietnam is a pleasant city with beautiful lakes, buildings and many small streets. The famous Old Quarter with its long history is a must-see for tourists, as are the modem skyscrapers in the city. While you are there, keep an eye out for the turtles ! No, not the living ones, but the images of turtles that can be found almost everywhere.

　　HALONG BAY

　　One of the most beautiful places in Vietnam is Halong Bay in the northeast of the country. It is made up of three thousand islands spread out in the clear green waters of the sea. The small islands all have wonderful beaches and there are also mysterious caves to explore. The bay got its name from a story about a dragon that created the bay and islands with its tail. The best way to experience Halong Bay is to take a boat tour. After exploring the islands, you can relax and enjoy a good meal in one of the many restaurants in Halong City.
