Provincia di Macerata - Vivere l'emozione dell'Italia autentica
La Provincia di Macerata si estende tra i fiumi Potenza a nord e Tenna a sud, e ad occidente dalla catena dei Monti Sibillini. La sua superficie totale è di circa 2.774 kmq e la popolazione di 324,369 abitanti. Il territorio si presenta con le caratteristiche tipiche del paesaggio appenninico: una fascia litoranea pianeggiante, rilievi dolci modellati dal lavoro agricolo e la montagna che è diventata una meta degli sport invernali. Monti, colline, vallate, boschi e campi coltivati conducono verso il litorale Adriatico, dove si delinea uno scenario naturale dai mille volti di Porto Recanati e Civitanova Marche, che ha dato origine ad una consistente attività peschereccia e turistico-balneare. Il capoluogo, Macerata, si estende tra le valli del Potenza e del Chienti, immersa in un vasto armonioso paesaggio, circondato dai colori della natura. Nella città si trova la costruzione neo-classica dello Sferisterio, uno tra i monumenti più belli d'Italia. Nella provincia sorgono Recanati, patria di Giacomo Leopardi e Beniamino Gigli, Camerino, sede di una delle più antiche università, Tolentino, centro turistico e religioso, San Severino, città d'arte. Ma è la cultura la protagonista nella terra maceratese sin dai tempi di Padre Matteo Ricci che lasciò l'Italia per raggiungere la Cina, aprendo così una porta all'Europa verso l'Oriente.

The One pillar pagoda in Hanoi Vietnam
The One-pillar pagoda or Dien Huu pagoda, has one of the most special architectures in Vietnam. The pagoda is situated next to Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, right in the center of Hanoi.
The pagoda started being constructed under Ly's dynasty in 1049. The legend goes that one night in 1049, King Ly Thai Tong dreamed of the Holy Lady (Phat ba Quan Am) sitting on a lotus and leading him to a similar building.
When he woke up, he was advised by Thien Tue monk to build the pillar-based pagoda like in his dream and topping it with the lotus of the Holy lady. Every year when it came to April 8th in Lunar calendar, the King came to the pagoda for Buddha bathing ceremony and afterwards, released a bird.
In 1105, King Ly Nhan Tong extended the pagoda and added Linh Chieu bond. However, time has erased everything but the limited area like what we see now. Near the pagoda there's a bodhi tree. This is the gift from Rajendra Prasad- Indian presidents to Ho Chi Minh President.
The pagoda now became one of the most meaningful symbols of Hanoi.
