Vietnam: flooded karst, port streets and nested enclosures
Some Ha Long Bay lakes connect to the sea through caves. UNESCO describes a typical layout for Hoi An’s port buildings: customer access from the street and cargo handling by boats on the river side. Hue’s Kinh Thanh has three nested enclosures on one axis.
