Echoes of the Past: Discovering the Legacy of Bạc Liêu

My trip to Bạc Liêu was a journey through time and tradition. Walking down the old streets, I was drawn to the iconic Bạc Liêu Prince's mansion — a symbol of wealth and extravagance during Vietnam’s colonial past. The stories of lavish parties and classical music echoed through the halls, reminding me of a bygone era. I spent the afternoon listening to Đờn ca tài tử performed live at a local cultural house. The melancholic tunes and poetic lyrics told tales of love, loyalty, and longing that touched my heart deeply. Later, I visited the Bạc Liêu Wind Farm, where giant turbines stood tall against the horizon, creating a breathtaking view as the sun dipped into the sea. Bạc Liêu is more than a place — it’s a living memory of Southern Vietnamese spirit, history, and resilience. Every corner holds a story, and every moment feels like a gentle melody from the past.
