Pak Ou CavesThe caves themselves are a great natural formation - just a jagged hole in a massive limestone rock formation. But it is inside the caves where the real delight lies. Thousands of Buddhas of all shapes and sizes fill every space in these large caves. Many of the images are damaged and some say that Buddhist worshippers abandon them here because they do not want to destroy or discard the images. |
Deluxe Journeys: Feature 2006 - Images Of Indochina This unique journey is all about showcasing Indochina’s most enduring images – the colourful Buddhist mandalas of Luang Prabang, the limestone islands of Halong Bay, Hoi An’s ancient streets, and the timeless Temples of Angkor are only a few. These are some of the prominent images which strike a chord with anyone who’s ever dreamed of traveling to Asia. But there are others as well; a street vendor setting up their market stall in the early hours of the morning, the graceful outlines of Hanoi locals performing Tai Chi on the shores of Hoan Kiem Lake, a lone farmer tending his rice fields with an ox-drawn plough. Experience it all on the Images of Indochina – the ideal journey for avid photographers and those who want a taste of the region’s diversity in two weeks. From beautiful Luang Prabang to the tree-lined boulevards of Hanoi, from the lantern lit streets of Hoi An to the wonder of Angkor – these are the images of Indochina that will stay with you long after you have gone home. |
