Holding this book in our hands, we will surely not forget the impressive stories told: From the cascading waterfalls of the Northwest and Central Highlands to the slow-flowing, tranquil rivers that cover the banks with alluvial soil in the Red River Delta and the Southwest; from the ancient, majestic mountains and forests steeped in slumber, home to many rare animals, to the distant islands, including the Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagos, where oil rigs fly the red flag with a yellow star; from ancient lands with a long and rich history to vibrant, youthful cities... All converge in the beautiful country of Vietnam, a magnificent heritage passed down from our ancestors to the present generation through thousands of years of nation-building and defense.
