Che Linh visits Hoai Linh's durian farm while recalling his nationwide journeys

Vietnamese singer Che Linh, now 84, recently walked along the Saigon River, noting his gratitude for health and his ongoing mission to photograph historic and spiritual sites across the country, from the U Minh forests to remote provinces such as Cao Bằng and Cà Mau. He said he will continue using his remaining time to capture images of places he has not yet visited.

During the same period, Che Linh travelled from Ho Chi Minh City to Dầu Giây district in Đồng Nai province to tour a vast durian orchard owned by fellow artist Ho Ai Linh. He expressed amazement at the orchard’s size, describing it as “tens of thousands of square metres” and praised the quiet, cool atmosphere of the farm. Ho Ai Linh joked that he still sings despite the seasonal durian harvest.
