EScher. The "Relativity Room" turns normal size and scale on it's head. The "Infinity Room" shows visitors their reflection repeated, semingly into infinity.
ITINERARY A 90km drive south of Hanoi will lead you to Ninh Binh, the site of what was once the capital city of ancient Vietnam, before Hanoi took the leading role in the 11th century. The area is full of well-known scenery, which includes Tam Coc Caves and the old temples dedicated to King Dinh & King Le reigned in 10th century. The visit to Ninh Binh starts with a boat trip along Tam Coc. Here you will see spectacular limestone karts jut out of the green paddy fields, reminiscent of Guilin (China) and Halong Bay of Vietnam, which gives this scenery the name “Halong-bay-on-land”. Next we will discover the site that used to be the kings’ palace in 10th century, Ninh Binh. Today, this area is famous for the wooden relieves of the shady Dinh and Le temples. In the late afternoon, we will return to Hanoi.
Belfast Harbour's origins date back to 1613 when a Royal Charter for the incorporation of Belfast specified the need for a wharf at the confluence of the rivers Lagan and Farset in what is modern-day Belfast’s High Street. By the early 18th century Belfast had replaced Carrickfergus as the most important port in Ulster. In the 19th century work commenced to improve navigation and this created the Victoria Channel. The Harbour now has the longest deepwater quay in Ireland at 1 kilometre in length with a draught of 10.2 metres. Belfast shipbuilding was at the heart of the local industry building ships for the White Star Line, including Titanic. Today SS Nomadic, Titanic’s little sister, is the only surviving White Star Line Ship.SS Nomadic was built on slipway Number 1 at Harland and Wolff and was launched on 25th April 1911. Nomadic has been restored to her original 1911 glory and is back home in Belfast. During World War II the Port of Belfast was used by the Royal Navy as the home base for many of the ships that escorted Atlantic and Russian convoys including Captain-class frigates of the 3rd Escort Group. .
