Thủy Nguyên

Thủy Nguyên (said like "twee win") is one of the 15 districts of Hai Phong. While some districts are very close to each other right in the main part of Hai Phong (for example, the teacher's house is in the Lê Chân district and the school, which is less than 10 minutes away, is in the Ngô Quyền district), others are quite a ways out from the city. Thủy Nguyên is one of the farther ones. I have a class at one of the schools there, which sucks because it takes almost an hour to get there and back, but is nice because it's so beautiful there. As I've said before, Hai Phong isn't the most attractive city - basically just as many houses as they can fit all crammed next to each other. But Thủy Nguyên hasn't been developed nearly as much as Hai Phong and you can actually see some of the amazing scenery that Vietnam has to offer.

Unfortunately I only get to see most of it from the window of a taxi, but here's some pictures I've managed to capture.
