French photographer Réhahn can testify to this having moved his life permanently to the city of Hoi An to pursue capturing the fascinating nation on camera, it's a country he describes as an 'open air studio'.

'Vietnam is a mosaic of contrasts. Many of the 54 ethnic groups still wear traditional costume and live in traditional houses. 'Although the country is changing fast, the culture remain very strong and you just need to drive five kilometres out of the tourist areas to find beautiful untouched places, with local lives.' His thought-provoking pictures have earned him a strong following of over 218,000 Facebookfans, a series of book deals and his work is featured in a gallery in Hoi An. Réhahn recommends Tra Que Village as his favourite place in the whole of Vietnam. The small fishing village is enveloped with surrounding rivers and small lakes, and the 240 families who reside there harvest the land with traditional methods. 'When I lived in this village I knew almost all of my neighbours,' he said, 'It's a fantastic quiet place where old people (sometimes 91 years old) work from early hours of the morning, sometimes from 6am. It is a paradise for photography.'

Đúng là ảnh đẹp thật, và mấy nhiếp ảnh gia VN cũng thường hay chụp những cảnh thôn quê, ruộng bậc thang, những người nông dân già khắc khổ, những người gánh hàng rong vất vả.... vì vậy mà dưới con mắt của các nước trên thế giới, họ luôn xem VN là nước nghèo, lạc hậu.
