Recently, the page "Dai Nam Phuc Anh" re-posted a series of natural photos he took from above, capturing images of Ha Long Bay, Nha Trang, the northern mountainous region and several other places and received a lot of sharing from art lovers and those interested in history.
In the future, this will be a valuable source of information for Vietnamese people to look back and compare the development history of their country since the mid-20th century.
