Vietnam than is washed by the sea or ocean. What is the sea in Vietnam? Magnificent! Nha Trang Central Beach or Lotus Area

It can be argued that the question: "What is the sea in Vietnam?" not everyone will find the answer at the same second. Answer: South China. And that is what this article is about.

What sea is washed by Vietnam

The coast of Vietnam is washed by the South China Sea. In addition to Vietnam, on the north side, it washes China, Cambodia, Thailand, in the southwest, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines. The South China Sea is located between the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The largest bay in this sea is Siam, which borders such resorts as Pattaya and Koh Samui (Thailand).

The famous Chinese resort of Hainan Island is the largest island in the South China Sea.

Max Depth South China Sea 5560 meters and an area of ​​3537,000 sq. km. In the east the sea is deeper, in the west it is shallower and strewn coral islands. The coasts surrounding this sea have a monsoonal climate. Once a year in the countries bordering the South China Sea, there is a rainy season, and typhoons are possible at sea at this time.

South China Sea is warm all year round: in winter the water temperature is never less than 20 degrees, and in summer it is about 28-29 degrees. The salinity of the sea is only 32-34%. This sea is very gentle and beautiful, near the shore it is light green in color, and at a depth of bright emerald. Tides are possible during the day and are quite strong.

Fauna of the South China Sea

Coral islands scattered across the South China Sea form their own unique and amazing undersea world. The most important inhabitants of coral reefs are moray eels, some of their subspecies are about a meter long. Also one of the local hunters is the wart, which is also called the stone fish due to its skill to disguise itself in the ground. On her back are sharp and poisonous rays that can pierce the soles of shoes. The poison contained in its rays is poisonous to humans: it has a paralyzing effect, even death is possible. Whistler fish and flutefish are another representatives marine predators living in this sea. Such a number of aggressors contributed to the development of a protective arsenal in other fish - shells with sharp edges, needles and other weapons.

Seaside resorts in Vietnam

The southern resorts of Vietnam operate year-round, the rest from 6 to 9 months.

The largest seaside resorts in Vietnam are Nha Trang, Mui Ne, Do Son, Kyalo, Sam Son, and the islands of Phu Quoc and Con Dao. In some resorts, it is possible to take such healing procedures as therapeutic mud baths, herbal medicine and mineral water. All resorts have a large number of massage parlors. Sea resorts are popular with tourists not only because of the opportunity to swim in the clear and gentle sea, but also to visit historical and natural attractions located nearby.

• Nha Trang is considered the main tourist center of Vietnam. It has quite a lot of services for Russian citizens: excursions, diving, restaurants.
• Mui Ne's main focus is beach holidays and water sports.
• Doshong is located in the northern part of the country, mainly visited by Chinese tourists.
• Shamshon and Kyalo are the most rarely visited resorts, as they are seasonal and there are few attractions nearby.
• Phukok's island recent times becomes popular with Russian tourists, and they are just beginning to learn about the island of Condao. Basically, they are famous for their excellent beach holidays.
• Da Nang, Hoi An, Hue, Cat Ba Island, Ha Long Bay primarily attract tourists who are interested in seeing natural and historical sights.

Vietnam is not Indonesia or Miami, where real ocean waves wash the shores. But the South China Sea is very different from the well-known Black Sea, since it is not located inside the mainland, but only partially separated from the Pacific Ocean by islands, and it lives according to other laws that you need to know before entering the water.

First and most important rule: on beautiful and attractively deserted "wild" beaches, you can only admire the scenery, listen to the music of the waves and wander along the very edge of the surf. Swimming in an unfamiliar place is like playing Russian roulette. And here it doesn’t matter at all what sports category you were assigned in your student years!

Naturally, even in civilized areas of the coast, where lifeguards are on duty, no one guarantees you 100% safety. High water is no more predictable than a hurricane. But following the recommendations will definitely not harm vacationers. Believe me, no one wants to spoil your vacation by forbidding you to enter the sea, which at first glance seems calm and safe. It’s just that professionals on the tower have considerable experience and know more complete information about the weather, currents and underwater fauna. Hence the second rule: never ignore red flags and other lifeguard warnings.

The strength of the tides in the South China Sea is very high, the water here can “leave” by 10-11 meters, which significantly changes the behavior of the waves. Over and over again rolling on land, large masses the waters rush back to the depths. As a result, one of the most dangerous phenomena for the bather, known as "reverse flow", occurs. A channel is formed perpendicular to the shore, through which water rapidly moves into the open sea. If someone accidentally finds himself in such a “rip”, then in just a few seconds the current will carry him from the beach for tens of meters.

Paradoxically, the fatal factor is not the distance and not the huge speed, but attempts to escape. An instinctive impulse in such a situation makes you swim to the shore at all costs. Unfortunately, the physical capabilities of man and nature are incomparable. The most hardy and trained very quickly become exhausted in a useless struggle with the flow of water and die. Although you need to know only a few things to be saved.

• Often, the rip does not show itself outwardly, but when entering the sea or ocean, you should be alerted by the unusual color of the water compared to the rest of the surface (for example, white against a blue or turquoise background), a strip of seething water vertical to the horizon, moving along a similar line deep into algae or foam, an unexpected “bald spot” in a continuous ridge of waves (a deceptively calm area several meters wide when around a wave).
• If you feel like you are suddenly carried to the open sea, the most important thing is not to panic and remember that the rip current is superficial and never drags a prey confidently afloat to the bottom.
• To get out of the water channel, you need to move not TO the shore, but ALONG it, that is, turn right or left and swim parallel to the land. Since the width of the rip usually does not exceed 40-50 meters, you will soon feel that you have left the danger zone, and you can safely return to solid ground.

Jellyfish are another invisible threat to bathers. “Unpleasant, but not fatal,” you say? A typical delusion of a person who, on vacation, came across only relatively harmless aurelia living in the seas of the temperate and tropical zones. The fact is that in the salty waters from the northern coast of Australia and New Guinea to the Philippines and Vietnam lives a deadly sea ​​wasp. This box jellyfish, due to its transparent body, is hardly visible in the water, and each of the 60 tentacles up to 3 meters long harbors a charge of neurotoxin that can kill an adult in a few minutes.

In recent years in South-East Asia other marine inhabitants dangerous for vacationers were also recorded - poisonous physalia or "Portuguese boats". In fact, these organisms are not jellyfish, although they look similar in appearance. stinging cells on the tentacles cause severe and very painful burns. For children, the elderly, allergy sufferers, and people with heart disease, they can be fatal.

Warning signs in several languages ​​report the appearance of jellyfish, stingrays, scorpions and other unwanted guests in the coastal waters on landscaped areas of the coast. But sharks, which are often feared by tourists who are on the shore for the first time tropical sea, do not swim to crowded beaches. You can see them only while diving at a distance from the land.

And finally, the rule that is relevant for relaxing on every body of water anywhere in the world, whether it is a quiet Russian river, a lake in the Alps or the ocean: never go into the water in a state of alcohol intoxication, albeit only "refresh". Take care of yourself and your loved ones!

One of the new tourist destinations in recent years in Russia is Vietnam. Russians have been loved in this country since the days of the Soviet Union, which in the 60s of the 20th century helped the young republic get out from under the yoke of the United States. Vietnam pleases warm sea, low prices and friendly residents.

Geographically, Vietnam is located in Southeast Asia. From the north, it is adjacent to China, the western border is combined with Laos and Cambodia. The east and south of the country are washed by the waters of the Pacific Ocean. The seas in Vietnam are different. Most of its coast is bordered by the South China Sea, with the same name and Tokinsky bays. And a very small piece in the south of the country belongs to the waters of the Gulf of Thailand. The island of Phu Quoc is also located there.

Conventionally, the coast of Vietnam is divided into 3 parts. Each of them has its own characteristics and even its own climate.

Let's start from the north. Here it is the capital of the country is Hanoi. This is the coldest and rainiest part of the country, especially in the outback. The main attraction here is Halong Bay - a bay in which thousands of islands are located. This place is fantastically beautiful, especially when viewed from high point. Steep rocky cliffs, covered with greenery, "stick out" from the water and create a feeling of unreality of the world.

The northern part of the Vietnamese coast is not very suitable for a beach holiday. The coastline is too indented and covered with many islands. In the same part of the sea, but a little to the south, is the famous Chinese resort island of Hainan. North and Central Vietnam is a storehouse of discoveries for the explorer traveler. These places have not yet been touched by the foot of a mass tourist. There is still an opportunity to see Vietnam in its original form.

The southern part of the country already boasts a large number of resort areas. More precisely, all the main resorts of Vietnam are located here. This area is developing rapidly. In the near future, it will become no less popular than Thailand. At least, the government of the country has such ambitious plans. Many cities and monuments are included in the UNESCO heritage - this says a lot. The climate here is tropical, warmer and drier than in the northern regions.

If you look from the north, then this region begins with resorts:

• hue- cultural, historical center, there are a lot of monuments and architectural objects;
• Hoi an- a Chinese town in the middle of Vietnam;
• Danang- an old resort town with excellent infrastructure.

Much to the south is one of the most popular resorts among Russian tour operators - Nha Trang. The weather here is great almost all year round. Here are the most fun activities and the best spas in Vietnam. Here are the most beautiful beaches. An ideal place to relax.

• Phan Thiet Mui Ne- these two interconnected towns are a place for carefree holidays, culinary discoveries and water sports;
• Dalat- a resort near the coast, in the mountains, at an altitude of almost 1500 meters. Almost alpine landscapes, forests, lakes, waterfalls. It is definitely worth a visit, especially for those who do not like the heat;
• Ho Chi Minh – South Capital Vietnam. It is also called in the American manner - Saigon. City of restaurants and dens. Now there's nothing left of the past "glory", but there are hundreds of opportunities for recreation. It is the business and political center of the country. There is a large airport from where vacationers from all over the world are distributed along the coast;
• – complete relaxation in the middle of the national park and fishing villages.

If you decide to visit Vietnam not only for the sake of the beaches, then we advise you to start exploring it from the north and move south. And finish the trip already on the tropical beaches near Ho Chi Minh, or on Phu Quoc, lost in the waters of Siam.

Have a nice holiday!

Mui Ne is a small village in the south of Vietnam, but it attracts Russian tourists very much. Why? One street is about 5 km long, along which hotels, cafes, bokeh (restaurants with live seafood), souvenir shops are built. The sea is restless, quite powerful waves and always a strong wind. No wonder Mui Ne is called a paradise for surfers (and kitesurfers): they feel good here. But why tourists go to Mui Ne, counting on a beach holiday, we don’t understand this.

Nevertheless, we felt this calm, peaceful atmosphere of Mui Ne on ourselves: you don’t want to fuss here, life flows calmly and measuredly. Maybe this is what our compatriots come here for, neglecting the interesting, bright and beachy, but noisy and restless Nha Trang? One thing we know for sure: we couldn't last longer than a week in Mui Ne, it's good for a reset, but not for a long life. Of course, this is our personal opinion, based on our rhythm of life and our interests.

Phan Thiet on the map of Vietnam:

What is the sea in Mui Ne and Phan Thiet?

The message Vietnam washes the South China Sea, but in different coastal areas it behaves differently. As I wrote above, this sea in Mui Ne is restless.

The peculiarities of the location of the village are that the winds always blow here, all year round. Stronger than the wind blow in winter - this time is called "season". In fact, it is the season for kitesurfers and surfers, who are primarily attracted to Mui Ne by this constant wind, which allows them to ride every day.

Kitesurf schools in Mui Ne at every step

But for ordinary tourists, the sea in Mui Ne is not very suitable: strong waves make it dangerous for swimming with children, plus kitesurfers and surfers are constantly spinning around the swimmers, which is why there is a threat to get hit on the head with a board.

In the "off season" (that is, in summer), the sea in Mui Ne is calmer, the winds are not so strong. However, the sea is cloudy. After the rains, a lot of garbage comes ashore, which is why the beach is very dirty.

The beach in Mui Ne lasts for a single street. From the beginning of the street (we will consider the part that is closer to the Red Dunes as the beginning) and approximately to the middle, the beach looks extremely unpresentable: just steps into the sea, without a sandy strip. There are low tides, during which you can see a thin strip of wet sand, but mostly vacationers in hotels in this area have to swim, entering the sea from the stairs.

In the afternoon the sea reaches the steps

The other part of Mui Ne beach (which is located closer to Phan Thiet) looks pretty good: a wide sandy strip, sunbeds and umbrellas. We were on this beach in the "off season", in June, so the beaches are so deserted.

Every evening in Mui Ne, we observed low tides, during which many beautiful shells appear on the shore.

We also noticed that there are a lot of jellyfish in Mui Ne, in Nha Trang there are much fewer of them, and they appear quite rarely, mainly in autumn.

Despite the fact that during our stay in Mui Ne the sea was quite calm, there was no desire to go into it and swim. Fortunately, our hotel on the beach had a great pool. By the way, we noticed that almost all hotels on the beach in Mui Ne have a swimming pool. Maybe all tourists in the village, just like us, are saved by a pool overlooking the sea?

In fairness, it is worth saying that in Mui Ne you can find a decent beach. We read that one of these is available at the Sea Links hotel (the same one on whose territory the Wine Castle is located).

You can choose and book a hotel in Mui Ne with good discounts here:

Distance from Nha Trang to Phan Thiet (Mui Ne)

Mui Ne is located 220 km from Nha Trang, Phan Thiet is a little further - 240 km.

How long to travel from Nha Trang to Mui Ne (Phan Thiet) and how to get there

The easiest way to get from Nha Trang to Mui Ne is by intercity bus - slipbus. A ticket for it can be bought at numerous street travel agencies in Nha Trang or at the bus stations of Sinh Tourist, Hanh Café, Futa Bus, Nam Phuong. We bought a ticket from The Sinh Tourist, a ticket for one person cost 109,000 VND ($4.6).

On the way, the bus takes about 5 hours, but they fly by very quickly: you can comfortably sit in the slipbus, practically lying down, sleep, read, watch interesting videos (there is free Wi-Fi). The bus makes 2 stops for 15-20 minutes, during which you can go to the toilet, have a snack in a cafe or just stretch your legs.

Sleepbus Nha Trang Mui Ne

Traveling from Nha Trang to Mui Ne on a bike is quite difficult, and we strongly advise against overcoming this path in this way. It's not just about fatigue, but also about huge trucks that drive along the highway at breakneck speed, under the wheels of which our Russian guys very often die, traveling between cities on their own. The Vietnamese are in contact with trucks very carefully, there is an unspoken rule here: the larger the car, the more important it is. Russians are used to equality on the roads, and perhaps that is why everything ends tragically.

Distance from Ho Chi Minh City to Mui Ne (Phan Thiet) and how to get there

From Ho Chi Minh to Phan Thiet - 191 km, to Mui Ne - 214 km.

The road from Ho Chi Minh City to Mui Ne on the map:

You can get there in the same way as from Nha Trang - on a slipbus. Travel time and ticket price are the same: about 5 hours and 110,000 VND ($4.6).

Nha Trang or Mui Ne (Phan Thiet): which is better?

For us, the answer to this question is obvious: of course Nha Trang! Mui Ne has only one single advantage - sparsely populated, and as a result, peace. For some, another advantage of Mui Ne, compared to Nha Trang, is the cheapness of housing. This is true: you can rent a small house for just $ 150−170.

You won’t find such prices in Nha Trang, for this amount per month you can only rent a room in a guesthouse. But for us, this plus is not a plus, because we don’t want to live in small Vietnam-style houses, and there are simply no modern European-style apartments in Mui Ne.

You can, of course, live not in Mui Ne, but in Phan Thiet itself. This city is quite modern, slightly smaller than Nha Trang in size, but with developed infrastructure: apartment buildings, shopping malls and places for walking.

Deserted main street in Mui Ne, and it's already lunch time

Where are all the people?

And this is Phan Thiet: livelier here

But still, Phan Thiet (and even more so Mui Ne) loses to Nha Trang in many ways:

• Sea. In Nha Trang, even on the city beach in the season (from April to September), the sea is calm, clear, without waves. Well, or with small waves from time to time, bringing garbage, but in Mui Ne this garbage and these waves are constant, and in Nha Trang - a temporary phenomenon. And not far from Nha Trang there are paradise beaches from the category of "bounty":,. You can spend all weekend there.
• Infrastructure. In Mui Ne, there are not even large stores where you can buy household items. For everything you need to go to Phan Thiet, which takes time and money (if you don’t have your own bike). In Mui Ne, there are only small Vietnamese "all in one" shops and a few supermarkets, but the prices are higher than in ordinary shops. There are no hospitals in Mui Ne (only small private clinics), and what am I talking about - there is not even a gas station in Mui Ne! Seriously, in order to fill up the bike, you need to find a gas cart outside some cafes. This gasoline is more expensive than at gas stations, and one can only guess about its quality - any Vietnamese will not miss the opportunity to dilute gasoline for extra profit.

Refueling with chickens on the way to Phan Thiet

There are some pretty bridges in Phan Thiet

• Attractions and interesting places. If in Nha Trang you need to choose what to visit, then in Mui Ne and Phan Thiet you can see everything in 2 days. And the rest of the day is spent exclusively on the beach or by the pool. Maybe for some this is a plus. Of course, you can always find excursions from Mui Ne to other cities.

• Fun with kids. In Mui Ne and Phan Thiet, we found only two entertainments for children: a mini-zoo near Fairy Creek and a children's play area in Lotte Mart in Phan Thiet. For comparison, in Nha Trang for children there are play areas in each mall(and them), an amusement park where for 10-15 thousand dongs you can ride any attraction, climb in a maze, catch toy fish and go to a 5-D cinema. And in Nha Trang there is Vinpearl. And a lot of children's shops. Read our article on.

• Transport. Of course, Mui Ne has a local shuttle bus that runs between Mui Ne and Phan Thiet. Strictly speaking, there is no need for more. In Nha Trang, the distances between objects are quite large, but you can get to any place by city bus for 8000 VND ($0.4). And even Zoklet Beach, located 50 km from Nha Trang, can be reached by bus for 24,000 VND ($1). I believe that transport in Nha Trang is acceptable - convenient for both local residents as well as for tourists.

Summing up, we see how much more advantages Nha Trang has over Mui Ne. I understand that there are people who dearly love Mui Ne for peace and quiet, we ourselves liked it for its tranquility. But we ourselves would choose Mui Ne only for a short vacation, when you just want to relax by the sea or pool. But not for a busy vacation, and even more so for a long life.

Watch a short video from Mui Ne:

Vietnam from the east and south is washed by the South China Sea, which is part of the Pacific Ocean.

Vietnam borders China to the north and Laos and Cambodia to the west. Vietnam is conditionally divided into three parts: North, Central and South. The water temperature in each region of the country may differ, for example: in February from 20 ° C in the north to 27 ° C in the south, but in August the temperature is the same throughout the territory - 28-29 ° C.

North Vietnam is historical part the country in which the capital is Hanoi. The region is popular for historical sights, ancient monuments of architecture and culture, as well as national parks. This region is not suitable for a beach holiday, as it is quite cool here in winter, and insanely hot in summer.

Central and South Vietnam are economically developed regions of the country. Large metropolitan areas and famous resorts are located here. the best hotels. The most popular resort cities in Central Vietnam are Da Nang and Hue, which are a combination of ancient peace and bustling resort life. Connoisseurs of antiquity should visit the city-museum under open sky Hoi an.

Many tourists ask the question, which sea is washed by Vietnam? And the only correct answer is South China, which is part of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, and therefore some are curious to know - is it the sea or the ocean?

Still, this is the sea and you just need to look at the map of this country and immediately understand that every second city is a seaside resort.

Temperature of the South China Sea

Length coastline the longest relative to the area of ​​the whole country. The East South China Sea is very calm and warm. On average, the water temperature ranges from +20 to +29°C in winter and summer, respectively. Monsoons have a special influence on the climate of Vietnam, which also determine the month when it is better to relax on the sea in this country. For example, even in January in the south of the country the water temperature does not fall below +25°C, while in the north it drops to +20°C in winter.

As for the weather in Vietnam in different months, then read about it in an additional information block, which describes in detail the climate and season of the country.

Almost the entire coast of Vietnam is washed by the sea and therefore you can relax here in any region. But tourists prefer to rest in the south, where the sea is warmer and the sand is cleaner.

Vietnam offers us the most best holiday- the sea, palm trees and white sand.

What is the sea in Vietnam

And this is not the only thing that this amazing eastern country offers us. Let's take a closer look at the most famous and popular resorts in the country.

Resorts of Vietnam

If you are still an inexperienced traveler or a tourist who does not know the country of Vietnam well, then we recommend that you read the information block: when is it better to relax in Vietnam?

Nha Trang is the most popular resort in the southern part of Vietnam. It ranks 29th in the list of the most beautiful and unique bays in the world.

The climate here is mild and the water temperature throughout the year is kept at +25 ... +26°C. From October to December, there are strong typhoons in this region, so at this time a beach holiday is almost impossible. At this time, the water throws a lot of mud and algae ashore, but when it's calm and the sun is shining, the water becomes much cleaner and the rest here is just great.

In the city itself there are three beautiful beaches with white sand and a convenient entrance to the sea.. Two islands Che and Tam also offer beautiful beaches, but on the second island the sea is deep enough and more suitable for diving. The tourist infrastructure is very developed here, and hotels offer the most comfortable living conditions.

Phan Thiet and Mui Ne are located in the southern part of Vietnam, and they are very popular among Russian tourists. Most of the beautiful beaches are next to each other near these two resort towns. Almost all hotels are also located on the beach, so it is very convenient for tourists to relax in such places. The only negative is the fine sand and the wind from the sea.

A comparison of these wonderful and popular resorts is given in the article: When is the best time to relax in Nha Trang, Phan Thiet and Mui Ne?

If you want to choose the best resort, then choose Phu Quoc island. This is a real paradise for the beach and active rest. Here are the cleanest beaches in all of Vietnam. In many cases, you can safely sunbathe and swim, and you will not meet a single person. Hotels here are also located on the very beaches and have a huge range of entertainment for both adults and children. Almost the whole year the temperature of air and water is kept at the same level, but at the end of July the rainy season begins and it lasts right up to September. The coast at this time is very wet and a beach holiday will not be very comfortable. The most convenient time to visit Fukuoka is in winter.

Ho Chi Minh or Saigon(the second name of the resort) is the very heart of Vietnam and here life is in full swing. This is a huge metropolis, which is the center of cultural and commercial life of the whole country. Whatever entertainment you want, everything is here. These are luxury hotels and super-budget guesthouses, and luxurious restaurants, and ordinary street eateries.

South China Sea and its inhabitants

The East or South China Sea does not boast a large number of inhabitants close to the coast, so divers prefer deep diving. In addition to corals in the sea, you can see a large number of varieties of stingrays, moray eels, tuna, swordfish, marlin, sharks.

There are a large number of sharks here - from deep to coastal. The most famous of them and the most dangerous are: White shark, mako, brindle, blue, longfin. You can also meet a large number of reef sharks, cats, bearded, zebra, hammerhead, prickly, nurse sharks, etc.

Sometimes these predators appear on a beach and intimidate tourists. But mostly they can be seen at the Institute of Oceanography on the island of Vinperl (Vinperl).

Very often during high tides people meet smaller, but more dangerous representatives East Sea: poisonous spiny fish(scorpionfish, lionfish, stingrays), jellyfish and siphonophores. Many of them are especially poisonous and the most poisonous and dangerous are blue-ringed octopuses. Therefore, going on a trip to Vietnam, you must carefully familiarize yourself with the marine life and stay away from them. And, in general, Vietnam is beautiful and diverse.

What is the sea in Nha Trang

Hey, hello to all fans of the Stone Jungle series. I am currently creating a fan site for the TV series ZKD, which starts on TNT on March 16, 2015 and will be shown from Monday to Thursday at 22:00. It is planned to show only 8 episodes in the first season, so you and I have 2 weeks to get acquainted with the series.

A few words about the series ZKD:

ZKD aka ZKD aka Stone Jungle Law is the first largest Russian series about criminal youth, produced by the 22 film company on a special order from the TNT channel. The pilot title of the series was planned to be "Stone Jungle", but just before the premiere, it was decided to add the word "Law", which, in my opinion, fit very well into the concept.

The premiere and the first acquaintance with the series will be on March 16, 2015 at 22:00 on TNT. After that, after the show on TV, all episodes will be posted on the site within 10-20 minutes from the moment of the show. Especially for those who could not watch the series on TV for any reason.

The plot of the series ZKD:

All the events of the series take place on the unremarkable outskirts of the capital of our country - the city of Moscow.

The main characters around whom events are in full swing are the 4th good friends who love money, and even more so easy money. But when did easy money bring happiness to someone? So our heroes, who just had to overtake a car with stolen goods, fate wants to teach a lesson.

And the seemingly trifling task becomes not so simple as it seemed to the guys at the very beginning. And imperceptibly for them, fate leads them along the path of a series of criminal events that will change their lives by 360 degrees.

Who's who in the law of the stone jungle series?
