Went exploring in Phong Nha Cave in central northern Vietnam today. The cave itself is is 7729 m long, contains 14 grottos, with a 13,969 m-long underground river. Only 1.5km of area is accessible for tourists, with some caves with roofs towering up to 40m in height. See the full width shot at my Facebook page /jimmydauphotography

Been bullied into hurrying up and posting some photos from my trip to SE Asia. So here's one of an old lady selling lottery tickets at the side of the road in Huế, Vietnam. There are very few beggars in Vietnam since the police started cracking down on them. So now, they all sell lottery tickets instead.

The Long Bien Bridge in Hanoi is a traditional spot for wedding photos. We were convinced we were going to be hit by a train and didn't spend too long on the tracks. #Vietnam #Hanoi

I spent four days riding through the backcountry of Northern Vietnam getting to know a place of extraordinary beauty. I rode through rice fields and over mountains, all the while interacting with some of the most down-to-earth, kind people I have ever met. I took this picture on the side of a small country road. It was the Golden Hour in the Golden Land. ================================= @wilderness_culture @natgeotravel @nature @dream_image @awesome.earth @nakedplanet @beautifulplanett @theglobewanderer @fantastic_earth @livingonearth @nikontop @nikon_photography_ @doyoutravel @discoverearth @exklusive_shot @superhubs @mobilemagazine

Back streets of the Mekong Delta in Vietnam. While this may look like a quiet backwater, behind me is a long line of boats full of tourists all being floated down the same route. This sort of thing is always bitter sweet for me, as much as being part of mass formulaic tourism has its woes, I can also still appreciate the experience itself (don't look behind!!) and the support the jobs bring to the local economy is priceless. I hope you're floating through this week - keep your eyes ahead to the weekend!! #Vietnam #whereswiwi #openmyworld

Sa Pa, in Northwestern Vietnam, was my favorite place I visited. Cool, foggy mornings would give way to bright, sunny days. It was just beautiful. Side note: Thanks to @visuals4all for a recent feature! Much appreciated!
