Last update 09:53 | 11/04/2017 – vietnamnet
VietNamNet Bridge – Co Loa Citadel was built near Phong Khe, about 20 km to the north of today’s Hanoi, during the end of the Hong Bang Dynasty (about 257 BCE). The fortress is a spiral-shaped complex of the then new capital. The site was the source of various relics of the Dong Son culture of the Bronze Age.
According to folklore, An Duong Vuong defeated the last of the Hung Kings in 257 BCE and founded the kingdom of Au Lac, choosing the site of Co Loa as his capital.

Journey through the Largest Cave in the World: Son Doong – National Geographic
Video clip và bài tiếng Việt ở cuối
Son Doong Cave—the largest in the world—wasn’t discovered until 2009. Now, National Geographic grantee and photojournalist Martin Edström, takes us deep inside Son Doong as he tries to capture its overwhelming size and beauty in 360 degrees.
The effort to share Son Doong (also known as Hang Son Doong) with the world has been decades in the making. “There was a local farmer who found what he thought was an entrance to a cave in the ‘90s, but it was this big, black hole in the ground where no one dared to go,” Edström says of the cave, which is obscured by a dense Vietnamese jungle.
Prayer 172
Jesus,
You gave me your peace*
but how do I take it?
Please let me know
so that my heart can be calm whatever happens.
Amen.

* John 14:27 New International Version (NIV)
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
