Guys, I’m curious about something. I’ve been here for six weeks now and every time I walk past Nguyen Van Thoai junction by the beach, it’s swarming with Asian tourists taking photos. I don’t understand why. It’s just a specific part of the road with a not-so-pretty backdrop. It’s a stinky, multi-lane noisy road full of cars bikes traffic lights and a zebra crossing. On the other side is the beach and there aren’t crowds of people taking photos in the same way. I’m dying to know why this bit of road is so special. I’d get it if they were on the other side with the lovely beach backdrop but here they are all just posing in front of the road. Is there some kind of cultural significance I’m missing? It seems like the weirdest place to stop for a photoshoot when the beach is just ten metres away.
I’ve added a pic of the road for context. There’s no real view of the beach. I can’t understand why they would want a a picture here instead of a nice picture with a beach backdrop which they could get if they just crossed over. Every time I pass, it’s swarming.
