Emperor Thanh Thai's Vietnam: A Glimpse into the Past - Amidst the bustling market day of Saigon, Cochinchina, Thanh, a Muong villager from Hoa Binh Province, carries water on his buffalo, just as his ancestors did for generations. Elsewhere, at Thanh-Hoa, a tranquil pagoda garden reflects the rich cultural heritage of Vietnam. Near Long Thanh, a creek mirrors the serene beauty of the landscape, while the tomb complex of Binh Thanh in Saigon stands as a testament to the past. And in the heart of it all, an outpost, once a symbol of conflict, now recaptured, signifying the enduring spirit of Vietnam's people.
