In every rural area, every nation has its own unique culinary culture. Cuisine is intertwined with local produce, natural conditions, and the inherent nature of the people of each region. I've had the opportunity to experience various places; for instance, mentioning Sushi or the Tea Ceremony, one immediately thinks of Japan, or talking about Kimchi brings to mind the traditional dish of South Korea – this refers to a nation's identity. Similarly, in Vietnam, mentioning Mì Quảng evokes the produce of Quảng Nam, or Bún bò, Cơm hến immediately brings to mind Huế.

We  have preparing  for our journey to Quang Binh on a trip that will be primarily an experience of ecological sites to learn more about the natural values of the Quang Binh region – the place with the narrowest distance from the coastline to the Vietnam-Laos border. This land is likened to a yoke carrying both ends of the country. As with other journeys, we will explore the landmarks of this region. One impressive point that I include in our itinerary is the Phong Nha Botanical Garden, due to its biodiversity with a richness of plant and animal species and activities in scientific research, environmental education, and sustainable tourism development. The Phong Nha Botanical Garden is located in the core zone of the Phong Nha – Ke Bang National Park on Victory Road 20, about 15km from the Phong Nha town.
