Dreamy beauty of Lam Giang
(Baonghean.vn) - On a spring morning, when the sun had just dispelled the morning mist, we took a boat trip upstream of Lam River, from a small river wharf in Nam Dan. Just a short distance on the river, but enough to see the majesty and poetry of Lam River, and understand why the river has become a cultural and spiritual symbol of Nghe people.

 |
| There are small fishing villages along the river with very small and simple docks. Many fishermen have spent their whole lives on the river, entrusting their lives to it. Photo: Trung Ha |

| The fishermen on the Lam River are the ones who contributed to the creation of the Vi and Giam melodies - the heritage of Nghe An and also the heritage of humanity. Photo: Trung Ha |
 |
| Lam River meanders along the mountains and the land. The river is poetic in poetry, in music and in real life. On this spring morning, the river is truly beautiful and peaceful. Photo: Trung Ha |

| The green of the sky and clouds, of the trees and leaves, of the fertile alluvial land and of the moss that has been flowing silently deep down for thousands of years have created the Lam River - the green river of Nghe An. Photo: Trung Ha |
 |
| The river carries heavy alluvial deposits that build up the alluvial plains, the river flows quietly alongside many changes in the homeland and country. This season, the river is calm, truly so gentle. Photo: Trung Ha |

| Just a river strip belonging to Nam Loc, Nam Thuong (Nam Dan), but Lam River has left an unforgettable impression. Seen from above, the river looks like a silk strip winding and wanting to fly up with the mist and the sun. The river of love, of the memories of many people, suddenly seems to sing: When Hong Linh has no more trees/Lam River has no more water, then here and there will be no more love. Photo: Trung Ha |
