It is a special place.
The Indochina Peninsula, located in the South-East Asia — a popular place for tourists all over the world. Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and Malaysia — each of them attractive in their own way. Here you can spend a wonderful “” vegetable vacation, swimming in the sea and enjoying the exotic fruits.
However, if you want to know the real Indochina that you should go outside the hotel and take a ride at least to the nearest and better — to the farthest village in the province. Take photos of everything I see, and you will understand that you received the pictures can hardly be distinguished from those that were made 100 or more years ago. That woman rinsing linen in Halong Bay (Vietnam), but high — mountain tea plantation. Walk a little further and you will see the village market, a way which certainly have not changed over the last 100 years. Here hut opium smokers, common in this part of the world of the drug, some distance side by side are the houses of wealthy and a poor family, and near the river, an ancient Buddhist temple.
All this and more is in the pictures 1914-1916, who came to us after a century thanks to the unknown traveler, who miraculously wandered into this mysterious region. The photos depict not only the life of ordinary country people and their way of life, but even the family of the head of the province of Ha (Vietnam), as well as important local chiefs and the military.
