In this issue, Travellive will take<br />

you to Hang En, one of the most<br />

magnificent and difficult-toaccess<br />

waterfalls in the Central<br />

Highlands. The author of this<br />

article began developing his<br />

ambition to conquer the waterfall<br />

when he read an exciting post<br />

shared on Facebook. Within six<br />

months he and his friends were<br />

on their way to explore Hang En's<br />

deep forests and high mountains.<br />

The difficulties involved in a<br />

journey like this can only be<br />

handled through perseverance<br />

and the constant pursuit of<br />

adventure.<br />

Each individual has their own idea<br />

of a perfect summer excursion.<br />

The deciding factor is whether<br />

you have enough determination<br />

to ignore your doubts and fears<br />

of the unknown. Don't just<br />

make plans, go out and chase<br />

adventure!<br />

We hope that your travel plans<br />

offer you energy, entertainment<br />

and an escape from May's<br />

exhausting summer heat.<br />

TOURISM REAL ESTATE<br />

the rise of<br />

travel and leisure complexes<br />

The years 2016 and <strong>2017</strong> are experiencing a rise in leisure real estate including<br />

condotels and villas. It is predicted that travel, leisure and amusement<br />

complexes will boom in the future.<br />

Text: Phan Cac Truc

These complexes have satisfied tourists' need<br />

for tourism entertainment, and have contributed high<br />

economic value to countries and investors<br />

THE TRAVEL AND LEISURE<br />

COMPLEX INDUSTRY: THE<br />

CHICKEN LAYING GOLDEN EGGS<br />

According to a Mastercard<br />

report on "The Future of<br />

Outbound Travel in Asia<br />

Pacific," Viet Nam is expected to<br />

enjoy a compound annual growth<br />

rate of 9.5% between 2016 and<br />

2021 for outbound travel, ranking<br />

second in the Asia Pacific area, just<br />

behind Myanmar (10.6%). In 2021,<br />

around 7.5 million Vietnamese are<br />

expected to travel abroad, compared<br />

to 4.8 million in 2016. Meanwhile,<br />

Vietnam's breathtaking natural<br />

sights, temperate climate and<br />

diversity of culture ought to create<br />

an ideal environment for tourism<br />

development. However, Vietnam<br />

has not actually been able to attract<br />

many tourists who want to stay<br />

for extended periods and spend<br />

generously because the country's<br />

tourism industry, entertainment<br />

services, and infrastructure for<br />

high-grade leisure forms are still<br />

developing their "potential."<br />

Meanwhile, other countries in<br />

the region, including Singapore,<br />

Thailand, Malaysia and Hong<br />

Kong, have been investing in luxury<br />

travel-hotel complexes, amusement<br />

parks and shopping centers for a<br />

long time. These complexes have<br />

satisfied tourists' need for tourism<br />

entertainment, and have contributed<br />

high economic value to countries<br />

and investors. More importantly,<br />

these complexes have come to<br />

symbolize countries in the minds of<br />

tourists.<br />

According to the Singapore Ministry<br />

of Finance, in 2013, Marina Bay<br />

Sands and Resort World Sentosa<br />

casinos recorded revenue of 6.077<br />

billion dollars, making Singapore<br />

third in the global gambling market.<br />

Las Vegas is just ahead with 6.5<br />

billion dollars, and Macau remains<br />

far in the lead with 45.2 billion<br />

dollars. Within its first five years of<br />

operation, Marina Bay contributed<br />

1.5 - 2% of Singapore's annual GDP<br />

and provided 1.8% of employment<br />

over 20,000 jobs (according to<br />

CNBC, 2015).<br />

THE RISE OF "INTEGRATED<br />

RESORTS" IN VIETNAM<br />

In recent years, hotel, resort and<br />

amusement parks complexes have<br />

started appearing in the Vietnamese<br />

market Vinpearl Land (in Nha Trang<br />

and Phu Quoc), Cocobay (in Da<br />

Nang), Sunrise Bay (in Da Nang),<br />

and Tuan Chau-Hanoi Ecopark (in<br />

western Ha Noi). These complexes<br />

promise to attract tourists and<br />

increase their desire to stay in<br />

Vietnam longer, contributing to<br />

expanding the country's tourism<br />

potential. Da Nang with its large<br />

land area and optimal location is<br />

the city with the largest number of<br />

these projects, including Sunrise<br />

Bay. Sunrise Bay is a large-scale<br />

project covering more than 180<br />

hectares, located in the center of<br />

Hai Chau District. Designed by the<br />

world's leading architectural fi rms,<br />

including AEDAS, EDSA and Safdie<br />

Architect, Sunrise Bay will be an<br />

integrated resort offering multiple<br />

world-class attractions such as an<br />

urban area (including villas and<br />

shop-houses), and an amusement<br />

and leisure island (including hotels,<br />

restaurants, shopping centers,<br />

theatres, art galleries, duty- free<br />

shops, marinas, convention facilities<br />

and entertainment). It is eagerly<br />

anticipated to be a new architectural<br />

symbol of Da Nang and offer a<br />

comfortable and modern living space<br />

for more than 40,000 people. In<br />

addition, Sunrise Bay's unique manmade<br />

island can attract international<br />

vessels stopping at Vietnamese<br />

seaports. The island's duty-free<br />

shops will contribute to attracting<br />

wealthy tourists.<br />

DA NANG - THE "VANGUARD" CITY<br />

IN ASIAN TOURISM<br />

Da Nang is home to several tourism<br />

complexes and meets three great<br />

Asia Pacific tourism trends: their<br />

tourism products are attached<br />

to nature and local culture; they<br />

are developing regional tourism<br />

and short-haul tours; and they are<br />

increasing the need for privatization<br />

and individualization within the<br />

high-grade market. Da Nang is<br />

developing tourism in several ways,<br />

including the expansion of the Da<br />

Nang International Airport; the<br />

"Urban redevelopment of Da Nang"<br />

project with a total investment of<br />

VND 9,677 billion; and the relocation<br />

of the railway station to the area west<br />

of the city (<strong>2017</strong> - 2023) to reduce<br />

traffic congestion in the downtown,<br />

area and encourage the development<br />

of the Lien Chieu port and the<br />

expansion of the Hai Van Pass<br />

Tunnel in combination with the Da<br />

Nang - Quang Ngai highway project.<br />

Its central location makes Da Nang<br />

an ideal host of many international<br />

events. The number of travel and<br />

leisure complexes in the city has<br />

developed Da Nang into a vanguard<br />

city within Asian-Pacific tourism.<br />

Tourism, leisure and entertainment<br />

real estate in Da Nang and other<br />

cities is expected to develop into a<br />

prosperous investment channel in<br />

the future, contributing to making<br />

tourism a key economic industry in<br />

Vietnam.<br />

REAL ESTATE IN THE WAR OF<br />

DIGITAL MARKETING<br />

Digital marketing in Vietnam's real estate<br />

industry has developed rapidly both in<br />

terms of quantity and quality. Real estate<br />

companies have increased their application<br />

of marketing strategies and real estate<br />

products and services. The efficiency of<br />

real estate marketing is still a big question,<br />

however, especially concerning the use<br />

of digital marketing. In order to promote<br />

a new approach to strategy and develop<br />

more efficient marketing activity among real<br />

estate companies, Masso Group and digital<br />

marketing experts will hold a seminar called<br />

"Marketing strategies based on digital data:<br />

a case study in real estate." The seminar has<br />

attracted the participation of prestigious<br />

lecturers in the communications field,<br />

including James Nguyen, Digital Director<br />

of Massogroup; Nguyen Hai Trieu, General<br />

Director of Younet Media; Sang Nguyen,<br />

who has 15 years of experience in business<br />

management and information technology<br />

consultancy; and Cindy Nguyen, an expert<br />

in Facebook marketing in Asia Pacific and<br />

the person responsible for the Vietnamese<br />

market and developing countries.<br />

Gatsby, "In his blue gardens men and girls came and went<br />

like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and<br />

the stars." - F. Scott Fitzgerald.<br />

LIKE THE free-spirited women of the 1920s, La Veranda<br />

Resort gracefully combines classic luxury with colorful<br />

energy. Every detail of the more than 70 rooms in the<br />

colonial-style villas is bold and elegant. They are reminiscent<br />

of the marvelous journey of Madame Catherine - a French<br />

noblewoman originally from Phu Quoc. She herself<br />

designed and decorated La Veranda.<br />

Visitors might observe that La Veranda at night looks like<br />

a scene out of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. "In<br />

his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths<br />

among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars."<br />

Moules Frites -<br />

A N<br />

EXTRAORDINARY<br />

SPECIALTY<br />

OF BELGIUM<br />

Belgium is famous for its chocolate, beer and waffles, Moules-frites or Mosselen-friet (a popular main dish<br />

of mussels and fries), however, seems to be the national dish, specific to the Belgian gastronomy. Moulesfrites<br />

has been well known around the world for decades, but this simple yet unique dish is the best when<br />

you enjoy it right in its birthplace.<br />

According to the famous food blogger QuoraValentin V, one of the reasons that this dish became popular<br />

is Belgian's taste for seafood together with beer. Belgians know how to process seafood to make it the<br />

tastiest. They even use their famous beer to rinse the mussels to make their meat fresh and soaked with<br />

the flavor of beer. Moules Frites can be cooked with wine, cheese, herbs or ketchup and is served with<br />

fries. Also, this dish is often enjoyed on the beaches, an interesting combination of gastronomy and<br />

entertainment, which makes it even more special.<br />

Though the cooking of Moules Frites is not simple at all, its tasty flavor deserves the cooks' effort. Tasting a<br />

piece of mussel, you will feel its difference from normal meats or salads.<br />

After being rinsed with fresh beer, mussels are steamed with white wine and a little onion and garlic. Mussels<br />

are not seasoned so as to keep their original flavor. Fries are often served with steamed mussels, but you can<br />

order some bread to eat with the sauce left in the pot.<br />

You also can add some coriander and herbs to steam with mussels. Remember to steam them for 5 minutes<br />

to keep their original sweet and salty taste and tenderness.<br />

That sounds simple, but its special taste is extremely attractive and always makes you want to eat more, or<br />

even become addicted! That is the reason why each portion of Moules-frites or Mosselen-friet for one person<br />

needs at least 1 kg of mussels and a large plate of fries. You also should use your hands and mussel shells as<br />

a clamp while enjoying this dish. That's the right way!<br />

With its undeniable attraction, mussels served with fries have become more and more popular in French<br />

and American restaurants with various versions. Mussels can be cooked with ice cream, saffron, apple wine,<br />

curry or even with Roquefort cheese. However different the versions are, you should not forget to order some<br />

cold white wine to enjoy with Moules-frites/Mosselen-friet.<br />

THE SUBTLE<br />

FLAVOR OF<br />

CHINESE TEA<br />

EGGS<br />

On early summer days, please try to extend<br />

your tastes with Chinese tea eggs as a snack,<br />

a delicious dish with a distinct flavor.<br />

IN CHINA, tea eggs are mainly served in light<br />

meals, or sometimes served with a bowl of rice<br />

or porridge. Pat Tanumihardja, who is famous<br />

for the blog Pickles and Tea and the author of<br />

The Asian Grandmothers Cookbook, is lavish in<br />

praising these marbled tea eggs. They are so<br />

beautiful and aromatic that he doesn't dare<br />

to eat them. In Shanghai, these tasty tea eggs<br />

are a common, inexpensive snack sold on the<br />

street or in convenience stores. Notably, tea<br />

eggs can be eaten all year round.<br />

Normally, the process of cooking tea eggs has<br />

two steps. First, the eggs are boiled. After they<br />

are hard boiled and gently cracked, they are<br />

steeped and braised in an especially aromatic<br />

blend of tea, herbs and spices. After a few<br />

hours, when you peel these eggs they will<br />

amaze you with their beauty. They look like<br />

marbles with a wonderful fl avor. Depending<br />

on how long you boil and braise the eggs,<br />

the tea eggs will have a mild or strong taste.<br />

Their colors are also different, changing<br />

from light colors to dark brown.<br />

Another interesting thing about tea eggs<br />

is that you can create various fl avors with<br />

different kinds of tea and herbs, even with<br />

Lipton tea. However, Shanghai Oolong<br />

tea is the number one choice for tea eggs<br />

for its best aroma. Especially, each time<br />

you enjoy tea eggs, you can feel differences<br />

in the color and taste of the eggs. They are<br />

sometimes red or pink, sometimes white.<br />

They can be soft or fi rm.<br />

THE RECIPE for successful tea eggs lies in<br />

the ingredients (tea and egg) and the way of<br />

cracking the eggs.<br />

Tea is naturally very important. Selecting<br />

tea and soaking eggs in tea are the most<br />

important steps. Tea and eggs must be<br />

braised long enough so that the eggs are<br />

aromatic but not strongly so.<br />

To make eggs soft and tasty is not simple.<br />

First, take the eggs out of the fridge for<br />

several hours. Bring the water to a boil, then<br />

rapidly and gently add eggs to the pot with<br />

a big ladle. Simmer them for 7 minutes and<br />

stop. Remove the eggs and put them into a<br />

pot of cold water until they are cool enough<br />

to handle.<br />

While you wait for the eggs, prepare the<br />

blend of tea. First, bring the tea to a boil,<br />

then lower the heat and simmer for about 10<br />

minutes so that it is aromatic. Stop cooking<br />

and open the lid to make it cool.<br />

When the eggs are cool, use a metal spoon to<br />

tap all around each egg gently. Try to make<br />

slight cracks all over the shell like a cobweb<br />

so that the tea can penetrate the eggs.<br />

Finally, after soaking the eggs in tea for<br />

about 24 hours (kept in a fridge), you can<br />

enjoy this special snack. If you want a<br />

stronger flavor, soak the eggs in tea for 3 to 4<br />

days in order to have a new taste.<br />

Vietnamese street<br />

food<br />

Southeast Asia is a "paradise" of street food. In Hanoi or Bangkok, you can enjoy<br />

beautiful and delicious dishes without spending too much money. Visitors to Vietnam<br />

also express their admiration for the diversity in street food from the North to the<br />

South. Most street food is characterized by its mildness and freshness.

interview<br />

This book is an ideal present for those who love<br />

Vietnamese culture and want to learn about the people and<br />

custom of regions across Vietnam. It is especially appropriate<br />

for tourists and foreigners living in Vietnam.<br />

The summer holidays offer<br />

opportunities to explore<br />

the culinary streets that<br />

stretch across the country,<br />

from Ha Giang, Hanoi, and Hoi<br />

An to Sai Gon and Phu Quoc. A<br />

Travellive reporter met with Ngoc<br />

Tran, the author of the book entitled<br />

"40 Delicious Vietnamese Dishes<br />

Listed by CNN" to talk about her<br />

book as well about Vietnamese<br />

street food in general. The culinary<br />

enthusiast shared her interesting<br />

stories.<br />

Reporter: Good morning, thank you for<br />

your coming. Can you share with us<br />

a bit about your book? What inspired<br />

you to write this book?<br />

Ngoc Tran: Since I was small I've<br />

felt called to do something related<br />

to gastronomy, like being a chef, a<br />

restaurant owner or a food critic,<br />

even though I sometimes cooked<br />

terrible food! My family used to have<br />

a stall at the market and I spent a lot<br />

of time there. I was bewitched by the<br />

tasty dishes being sold around me.<br />

I spent all of my money trying new<br />

foods, so I never had savings like my<br />

friends did. Different foods came<br />

from regional differences in climate,<br />

culture, lifestyle and cooking<br />

methods, and that is what inspired<br />

me to write this book.<br />

What do you think makes Vietnamese<br />

street food so special?<br />

Vietnamese street food is unique<br />

for a number of reasons. First,<br />

it often involves a wide selection<br />

of vegetables, sometimes even<br />

including medicinal herbs that<br />

are good for health. Whether you<br />

enjoy street food or specialties in<br />

luxurious restaurants, you'll always<br />

find an impressive mix of greens.<br />

Sometimes even Vietnamese people<br />

cannot identify all of the vegetables<br />

they are served.<br />

Second, street food is simple and<br />

low maintenance. You do not have<br />

to hesitate or spend time trying to<br />

find an unoccupied table and chair.<br />

All you have to do is to sit down,<br />

order food, and enjoy it in the<br />

environment of the street.<br />

Last but not least, the recipes for<br />

these foods are secrets that have<br />

been handed down from generation<br />

to generation. These secrets<br />

have created success and good<br />

reputations for numerous dishes<br />

and restaurants.<br />

What was your most impressive food<br />

experience while writing this book?<br />

After a long day of exploring the<br />

mountain roads of Ha Giang and<br />

playing with the local children,<br />

I got a full night's sleep, and then<br />

started the next day with a hot bowl<br />

of phÎ gµ in the local market. I was<br />

most impressed by this dish, as it<br />

was made with chicken that had<br />

been raised on the hills, and the<br />

noodles were made onsite from<br />

aromatic rice.<br />

Each region of the country has its<br />

own ways of seasoning food. The<br />

food of the north is typically salty,<br />

food in the center is spicy, and<br />

food in the south is sweet. Tasting<br />

food from each region will allow<br />

you to feel each region's cultural<br />

characteristics.<br />

Enchanted with<br />

grottoes amid the sea<br />

Ha Long Bay's imposing<br />

scenery left a deep impression<br />

on viewers of "Kong: Skull<br />

Island". The area's thousands<br />

of magnificent limestone<br />

mountains have been recognized<br />

twice by UNESCO as a world<br />

natural heritage and are one of<br />

the new seven natural wonders<br />

of the world. Bright blue skies,<br />

spectacular caves, and countless<br />

limestone islands emerging<br />

from the sea are typical sights<br />

around Ha Long Bay.<br />

Cua Van fishing village is<br />

another Quang Ninh location<br />

appearing in "Kong". The<br />

small village's tranquil<br />

and picturesque scenery<br />

has enchanted numerous<br />

visitors. Cua Van village,<br />

tens of kilometers from the<br />

seaside, is surrounded by both<br />

mountains and sea, making it<br />

an oasis, far from the noise of<br />

car horns. The village boasts<br />

beautiful houseboats docked<br />

close to each other housing<br />

friendly fishermen who talk to<br />

each other from their boats.<br />

Quang binh<br />

Following in the footprints of Kong<br />

Of the three locations used during the filming of<br />

"Kong: Skull Island" in Vietnam, Quang Binh is the<br />

most impressive, as its scenery was used to depict King<br />

Kong's home. Yen Phu Village, Cha Noi Valley and<br />

Chuot Cave have all satisfied and impressed visitors.<br />

These locations still virtually unknown throughout most<br />

of the world have become must-see destinations. Their<br />

beauty is especially spectacular during the summer.<br />

"Kong" director Jordan Vogt-Roberts described Quang<br />

Binh's Yen Phu Village as "surrealistically beautiful".<br />

The area owns its own unique beauty, boasting<br />

stalagmites and limestone rocks emerging from the<br />

ground amid small neat houses.<br />

Located in the Phong Nha - Ke Bang<br />

complex, the 17 kilometer Da Deo Pass<br />

on the Ho Chi Minh Trail is known for its<br />

imposing and mysterious scenery. Seen<br />

from Da Deo Pass, Cha Noi Valley looks<br />

like another world totally separate from the outside by a<br />

wall of high cliffs extending endlessly into the jungle.<br />

Yen Phu's tranquil lake is a focal point in the Cha Noi<br />

Valley. Its clear water surface acts as a huge mirror<br />

brightening the whole valley. The immense lake is<br />

separated from the residential area. It holds several plots<br />

of land that are large enough for buffalo to graze upon<br />

leisurely. In the distance, overlapping mountains loom<br />

cloaked in a thin layer of mist. The area is so quiet that it<br />

sometimes feels like you can feel the ripples of the lake.<br />

The pristine Chuot (Mouse) cave became Kong's home<br />

during the filming of Vogt-Robert's movie. Chuot cave<br />

is a part of the Tu Lan cave system, a new location that<br />

is still visited very infrequently. This has allowed it to<br />

maintain its original beauty. A clear stream runs in<br />

front of the cave and down into the stunning Tan Hoa<br />

Valley in the distance. Chuot cave was selected to serve<br />

as Kong's home because of its spectacular entrance that<br />

exceeded the director's expectation. In the film, the cave<br />

appears perfectly prehistoric.<br />

HOME TO BEAUTIFUL NATURAL SIGHTS<br />

Ninh Binh Province, containing Trang An, Tam Coc, and Bich Dong has<br />

become one of the most famous tourist areas in Vietnam, especially since its<br />

appearance in "Kong: Skull Island". Trang An is another world heritage site<br />

recognized by UNESCO.<br />

One of the most entertaining experiences in Trang An is to sit on a boat gliding<br />

past the mountains and threading its way through mysterious caves.<br />

Tam Coc and Bich Dong are sometimes referred to as "Ha Long<br />

Bay on land". Tam Coc is a flooded karst cave system with three<br />

beautiful caves - Hang C∂, Hang Hai, and Hang Ba - on the<br />

Ngo Dong River. A boat ride will take you through a winding<br />

waterway which passes through these three caves. Bich Dong,<br />

which means "green cave", is two kilometers from the Tam Coc boat pier. It has<br />

been recognized as the second nicest grotto in the country (after Huong Tich<br />

Grotto). A branch of the Ngo Dong River runs in front of the cave and winds<br />

along the mountain side. On the other side of the river is a vast green field. Bich<br />

Dong also boasts an ancient three-tiered cave pagoda at the top of a steep stone<br />

staircase. The climb is worth it, offering a magnificent view and a charming<br />

pagoda. The pagoda was built in 1428, at the beginning of the Le Dynasty. It<br />

holds a colossal bronze bell cast under the reign of King Le Thai To.<br />

Ninh Binh is also famous for the Thung Nham Sanctuary, which is home to<br />

nearly 40 species of birds. When the sun sets at 5 or 6pm, thousands of birds<br />

fly back to their nests. The image of white birds flying across the pristine<br />

mountainous background creates a remarkable scene.<br />

An ecological village surrounded<br />

by birch forests and mountains<br />

If you want to explore new places in a familiar<br />

destination, you should plan a visit to Da Lat's birch<br />

forests, Cu Lan Village, and Bidoup National Park<br />

this summer.<br />

Da Lat is famous for its magnificent birch forests<br />

tucked into the Tuyen Lam Lake area. In early<br />

summer the birch forests are green and then<br />

gradually change to yellow, orange, red and dark<br />

red in autumn. Visitors can take a boat across the<br />

lake to get a complete view of the landscape. On the<br />

journey you will pass the local people's beautiful<br />

lakeside houses, giving you a chance to experience<br />

the peace of the plateau and the forests stretching as<br />

far as the eye can see.<br />

Cu Lan Village is situated in Suoi Can Hamlet, Lat<br />

Commune, Lac Duong District, close to the village<br />

of the K'ho people. To reach the village, you will<br />

travel along a 20 kilometer pass winding from the<br />

city center through provincial highway 722. At Cu<br />

Lan Village, you can see the adorable sloths that<br />

gave the town its name, or you can interact with<br />

nature by taking part in a range of outdoor activities,<br />

such as mountain climbing, forest hiking, kite<br />

flying, fishing and camping.<br />

Bidoup Nui Ba National Park on the Lam Vien<br />

Plateau is another must-see destination for those<br />

who enjoy trekking and off-roading. Bidoup<br />

National Park's pine and birch forests specific to<br />

the Central Highlands cover almost the whole area<br />

of the Lam Vien Plateau. The park is also home to<br />

more than 1,000 plant species, including red pine,<br />

green cypress, Fujian cypress, two-flat-needle leaf<br />

pine, and five-needle leaf pine. The forests hold<br />

over 441 species of vertebrate animals including the<br />

Vietnamese greenfinch, an endemic species of bird<br />

that lives only in Vietnam.<br />

When you leave the park you can walk around the<br />

villages of the Lach, Cil and Ma people, and stop<br />

for a while to enjoy roasted sweet potatoes and a<br />

glass of hot soy milk at a roadside stall. The trip<br />

sounds simple, but it promises many fascinating<br />

experiences.<br />

BEN TRE<br />

Pristine beauty in the homeland<br />

of coconut trees<br />

Summer is the best time to begin your<br />

journey to Ben Tre, the homeland of<br />

coconut trees and various kinds of<br />

fruits, such as mangosteen, durian,<br />

plum and rambutan. You can even<br />

pluck these fresh fruits with your own hands<br />

and enjoy them right in the orchard. The Ben<br />

Tre area offers opportunities such as homestays,<br />

boat rowing along the canals to see nature, and<br />

participating in the activities of the local people<br />

like gardening and making coconut candy. On<br />

Quy Island you can enjoy fresh juice made from<br />

just-picked coconut and fruits such as longan,<br />

plums, oranges, mandarin, and grapefruit all<br />

year round. It is also famous for specialties made<br />

from grilled shrimp and raw fish. On Phung<br />

Island, you can enjoy the tasty flavor of girdle<br />

cakes, a specialty of Giong Trom, and directly<br />

participate in selecting rice, scraping coconut<br />

meat out and making cakes.<br />

If you have more time, you should explore the<br />

orchards in Cai Mon, Son Dinh, Vinh Binh (Cho<br />

Lach) or Tien Long, Tien Thuy, Tan Phu (Chau<br />

Thanh). Cai Mon in Vinh Thanh Commune,<br />

Cho Lach District is famous for its durian, and<br />

supplies seedlings to the whole province.<br />

Delicious dishes unique to Ben Tre include<br />

coconut wax, grilled banana served with<br />

coconut extract, and grape fruit compote served<br />

with durian.<br />

including guava, French bean, Siamese custard<br />

apple, nipa and date-palm.<br />

A visit to the Vam Ho Sanctuary will give you<br />

an opportunity to immerse yourself in nature.<br />

You can take a leisurely walk along the forest<br />

roads, wind your way through the mangrove<br />

forests, cross small bamboo bridges, lie down<br />

on a hammock to rest under the foliage, enjoy<br />

the fresh air of the Ba Lai River, or visit the old<br />

resistance base. This is the perfect place to spend<br />

the weekend.<br />

THE GREEN<br />

VALLEY OF MAI CHAU<br />

This summer, if you are already bored with beaches and noisy<br />

amusement areas, reward yourself with another option of<br />

green paddy fields in Mai Chau valley, Hoa Binh.<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong><br />

Situated 150 km away<br />

from Hanoi, roughly<br />

a 4-hour drive,<br />

Mai Chau Valley<br />

lies within serene<br />

high mountain<br />

ranges. Home to the Thai ethnic<br />

community, Mai Chau has<br />

developed its community tourism<br />

quite early, so even on a short trip<br />

this place will bring you a lot of<br />

exciting experiences. Below are<br />

4 must-visit attractions in<br />

Mai Chau.<br />

Thung Khe Pass<br />

Thung Khe Pass, known as<br />

White Rock Pass, is one of 4<br />

most beautiful yet dangerous<br />

passes in the Northwest. It is<br />

called White Rock because this<br />

place has splendid white rock<br />

mountains, standing majestically<br />

by the hills. Standing on White<br />

Rock Pass, you can take in the<br />

whole picturesque scene of Mai<br />

Chau Valley: the green valley<br />

walls covered with rice paddy<br />

fields, as well as some stilt houses<br />

underneath bamboo groves.<br />

Pom Coong Village<br />

In Thai ethnic language, Pom<br />

means hill, while Coong means<br />

drum, Pom Coong means the<br />

village of hills lying on a big drum,<br />

which represents rice fields. The<br />

village, home to 80 households,<br />

is quite a rendezvous for tourists.<br />

While visiting here, you should<br />

STILT HOUSES IN MAI CHAU ARE USUALLY BUILT IN<br />

BLOCKS AND CONSTRUCTED IN THE TRADITIONAL<br />

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE OF THE THAI PEOPLE.<br />

wander and discover brocade and<br />

souvenir stores right underneath<br />

stilt houses.<br />

Stilt houses in Mai Chau are<br />

usually built in blocks and<br />

constructed in the traditional<br />

architectural style of the Thai<br />

people. The roofs are made of<br />

straw, cane leaves or bricks. The<br />

houses have many large-sized<br />

windows. Under the house is the<br />

floor is made of bamboo and built<br />

2 meters above the ground by<br />

stable wooden pillars. Underneath<br />

the stilt houses are looms for Thai<br />

girls to weave brocade, all of which<br />

are unique features of Thai stilt<br />

houses that set them apart from<br />

the architectural styles of other<br />

ethnic minorities.<br />

Itinerary:<br />

ñ From Ha Noi to Mai Chau, you can<br />

travel by car as it's only about a 4-hour<br />

drive.<br />

Transportation:<br />

ñ In terms of means of transportation<br />

between villages in Mai Chau, there are<br />

bus services available for tourists. Try<br />

riding bikes and strolling through long<br />

roads in the middle of green paddy<br />

fields. This can be a very enjoyable<br />

experience.<br />

Seasonal experience:<br />

ñ Each season provides its own serene<br />

sights in Mai Chau, an opportunity for<br />

you to fall in love with the peaceful<br />

sights of small valleys, while leaving<br />

behind the noisy city. Summer in Mai<br />

Lac Village<br />

This is a popular community<br />

tourism attraction of White<br />

Thai people, who are the oldest<br />

residents in Mai Chau. Lac village<br />

brings together wild, natural, and<br />

charming features of the culture<br />

and region with houses locating<br />

underneath bamboo groves, where<br />

water wheels, turned by small<br />

rivulets, warble day and night.<br />

Following the road leading to<br />

the village are freshly green<br />

and scented rice paddies. The sight<br />

of peaceful villages will keep you<br />

longer while you wander among<br />

wild nature.<br />

Chau is symbolized by the greenness<br />

of new paddy fields, and cool weather<br />

along with kind and gentle smiles of<br />

local people.<br />

Food:<br />

ñ Tourists should try bamboo-tubed<br />

rice, bamboo shoots, grilled pork, and<br />

stream fish. Also do indulge in the<br />

sounds of singing and instruments of the<br />

Thai ethnic traditional dance , partake in<br />

traditional bamboo dance (nh∂y sπp) or<br />

spread dance (mÛa xe)<br />

Accommodation:<br />

ñ There are various options for tourists,<br />

from resorts lying on the mountains<br />

to hotels (price starts from 300,000<br />

VND). You can also stay at stilt house<br />

homestays (from 100,000VND).

Exploring caves<br />

Located in limestone mountains, Mai Chau<br />

owns some magnificent graphite caves such<br />

as Chieu, and Mo Luong, which are only 2<br />

km from Lac village. In order to enter these<br />

caves, you have to climb steep stone steps.<br />

In return for hard-fought altitude and time,<br />

you will enjoy a relaxing and pleasant feeling<br />

when catching the sight of surrounding<br />

natural beauty.<br />

Mo Luong Cave has both entrances<br />

overlooking paddy fields and villages in<br />

the valley. Situated 5 to 7 meters above<br />

surrounding rice paddies, the cave is 500<br />

meters deep inside the mountain including<br />

branches, 1 to 30 meters wide, its roof dome<br />

is 10m high on average with glittering yellow,<br />

blue and white graphite winding through its<br />

walls. The beauty of this picture of natural<br />

wonder will certainly convince you to take<br />

your time to explore and enjoy the sight in<br />

detail.<br />

Afternoon Cave, named by local residents,<br />

is most unique when afternoon comes and<br />

the sun shines through the caves making<br />

graphite blocks extraordinarily charming<br />

and vibrant. After 1,200 stone steps, you will<br />

arrive at Afternoon Cave. Wandering inside<br />

the cave, you will be amazed at the miracle<br />

of nature, with countless shapes created by<br />

graphite strands along 200 meters of the<br />

cave. At the end of the cave is a small stream<br />

with fresh and clear water throughout the<br />

whole year.<br />

In Ha Noi, if you only have 2 weekend days,<br />

Mai Chau is the perfect choice for a journey<br />

back to nature and to indulge in the sights<br />

and scents of Northern rice fields.<br />

road, we finally set foot in Kon Chu Rang<br />

Natural Reserve, located at Plantation 4 in<br />

Gia Lai Province.<br />

DIFFICULT TREKKING ROUTE COULD<br />

NOT PREVENT OUR EXPLORATION<br />

After checking in with the reserve, our<br />

group was guided by two foresters. We had<br />

to conquer a 12km difficult-to-access stretch<br />

of road with very high and slippery slopes<br />

by motorbike. It seemed that any light<br />

rain could make us fall off the motorbikes.<br />

Although we had scarcely started our<br />

journey, we could feel its dangers and<br />

hardships.<br />

After more than one hour, we reached Trai<br />

Bo. That is a vast grassland where local<br />

people erect their sentry boxes. We left our<br />

motorbikes there and, with our passion<br />

for neglected nature, began to conquer<br />

the waterfall. This is the starting point of<br />

our trekking, fording springs and crossing<br />

forests in Kon Chu Rang Natural Reserve.<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong><br />

It was March then, the most beautiful<br />

time of the year with warm sunshine and<br />

little rain. The spring was not too wet this<br />

season, but we still used tree branches<br />

as walking sticks for safety. We zealously<br />

waded across the stream for more than two<br />

hours. Some sections were swampy up to<br />

our knees, some were full of water up to our<br />

hips and slippery rocks made us sometimes<br />

fell down. Despite our exhaustion, we did<br />

not shrink from difficulties because the<br />

stunning waterfall was waiting for us ahead.<br />

This is the<br />

starting<br />

point of our<br />

trekking in<br />

Kon Chu<br />

Rang Natural<br />

Reserve.

According to the documents of Kon Chu Rang<br />

Natural Resever, the K50 waterfall is located in the<br />

co-ordinate of 14 o 31' 10''N; 108 o 36' 23''E; and the<br />

altitude of 831m. It is more than 50m high.<br />

We could not<br />

suppress our<br />

happiness when<br />

the imposing<br />

waterfall<br />

appeared in front of us. We stood<br />

still for a while to contemplate the<br />

K50 Waterfall that looked like a silver<br />

strip of silk sparkling amid the forest<br />

and mountains. The area around the<br />

waterfall was also so magnificent,<br />

poetic and subtle. It seemed that all the<br />

quintessence of nature converged at<br />

this place in order to create a paradise<br />

in this world. As for me, the K50<br />

Waterfall is more beautiful than a<br />

masterpiece, since it is a perfect artwork<br />

of nature, a valuable gift Mother Nature<br />

bestows on this neglected vast jungle of<br />

Gia Lai Province.<br />

LOCATION:<br />

ñ The Kon Chu Rang<br />

Natural Reserve has<br />

8 waterfalls, but the<br />

most beautiful and<br />

magnificent one is<br />

the K50 Waterfall (or<br />

Hang En Waterfall).<br />

The second one is<br />

the K40 Waterfall, or<br />

Ba Tang Waterfall.<br />

It is also one of<br />

the most beautiful<br />

waterfalls in the<br />

Central Highlands.<br />

ITINERARY:<br />

ñ From HCM City or<br />

Hanoi, you fly with<br />

Vietnam Airlines to<br />

arrive at Pleiku, the<br />

chef city of Gia Lai<br />

Province. From the<br />

center of Pleiku,<br />

traveling 80km along<br />

the National Highway<br />

19 in the direction<br />

of Quy Nhon City,<br />

you will reach An<br />

Khe Town. Going<br />

to the T-junction<br />

to Kbang, turn left<br />

and travel 30km and<br />

you will reach Kbang<br />

Commune. Continue<br />

to go further 60km<br />

and you will come<br />

to the Kon Chu<br />

Rang Reserve (under<br />

the management of<br />

Plantation 4, Gia Lai<br />

Province). The K50<br />

waterfall is within the<br />

reserve.<br />

Places for sight<br />

seeing:<br />

The K50 Waterfall<br />

is quite far from the<br />

city center of Pleiku,<br />

so, in addition to the<br />

expedition to the<br />

waterfall, you should<br />

visit other places in the<br />

environs of Pleiku<br />

ñ T'nung Lake (also<br />

known as Sea Lake): It<br />

is located nearly 10km<br />

from Pleiku City along<br />

the National Highway 14<br />

to Kon Tum. The road<br />

to the lake is picturesque<br />

with pine forests that<br />

stretch as far as the eye<br />

can see on both sides.<br />

At the end of the slope<br />

is a beautiful house in<br />

the middle of the lake,<br />

where tourists can get<br />

some fresh air, pose for<br />

photos and contemplate<br />

beautiful flowers,<br />

especially at the end of<br />

September when wild<br />

sunflowers are in bloom<br />

in Pleiku.<br />

ñ Chu Dang Ya: It<br />

means "wild ginger"<br />

in the language of<br />

the J'rai people. It is<br />

a volcano that has<br />

stopped operating for<br />

millions of years, with<br />

a funnel-shaped crater.<br />

Chu Dang Ya Volcano<br />

hides itself amid the<br />

mountains that seem<br />

to extend endlessly.<br />

Though Chu Dang Ya<br />

is an extinct volcano, it<br />

is full of vitality and very<br />

fascinating. Standing on<br />

the top of the mountain,<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong><br />

you will feel the serenity<br />

of pristine natural<br />

sights, specific to the<br />

Central Highlands, and<br />

contemplate the green<br />

plain at the foot of the<br />

mountain.<br />

ñ The road lined with old<br />

pine trees is a famous<br />

check-in in Pleiku. Two<br />

rows of old pine trees<br />

create a poetic beauty<br />

for this mountainous city.<br />

The road is more than 5<br />

km from Sea Lake in the<br />

direction of Chu Dang<br />

Ya Volcano.<br />

ñ Charnel houses in the<br />

Central Highlands: on<br />

the way from Pleiku to<br />

Yaly Hydroelectric Plant,<br />

you will pass the villages<br />

of the Bana ethnic<br />

people. Charnel houses<br />

remain in this place.<br />

Sometimes you can see<br />

old craftsmen carving<br />

statues for the charnel<br />

houses.<br />

A WATERCOLOR PAINTING AMID THE JUNGLE<br />

Our group decided to pitch tents at the foot of the waterfall.<br />

We were very lucky to be accompanied by experienced and<br />

enthusiastic foresters, who were at home in such terrain.<br />

After that, some of us fetched firewood to light a fire and cook rice<br />

in bamboo tubes. The others caught fish and snails and picked<br />

vegetables. We finally had a simple but wonderful dinner that<br />

few people have an opportunity to experience in their life. In the<br />

silence of the night, and by the flickering flame, there was nothing<br />

more interesting than hearing the resounding sound of the<br />

waterfall. This happiness helped us get rid of the exhaustion of a<br />

long and hard trek.<br />

In the next morning, we continued our journey to conquer the top<br />

of the waterfall. After a full night's sleep, we felt strong enough to<br />

face hardships ahead. Although the stretch of path was less than<br />

500m, it was hard for us to climb the 60-degree slopes. Moreover,<br />

the path was wet and slippery. Terrestrial leeches were also a<br />

danger to trekkers. With a thick vegetation cover, this was an ideal<br />

environment for this species.<br />

The dawn of a new day seemed to invigorate us to conquer the<br />

cliffs. Our eagerness gradually increased when the sound of<br />

the waterfall became nearer and nearer. We finally burst with<br />

happiness when contemplating this masterpiece of nature. The<br />

waterfall thunderously plunges down from a height of 50m,<br />

looking like long hair embellished with slabs of rocks full of<br />

green moss. It was hard for us to describe our amazement and<br />

admiration in the face of this harmonious arrangement of nature.<br />

Standing on the top of the waterfall, we enjoyed the breathtaking

Where to eat:<br />

Following is the list<br />

of specialties and<br />

restaurants in Pleiku and<br />

An Khe you should try.<br />

ñ Chicken at Do Trac<br />

Street, Pleiku<br />

ñ ßÿnh Coffee & Lifestyle<br />

at 375A Quang Trung,<br />

An Khe. You'll wallow in<br />

a warm and comfortable<br />

space with very good<br />

food and drink. Please<br />

enjoy a tasty cup of pure<br />

coffee in a comfortable<br />

seat.<br />

ñ Cafe Thu Hµ will give<br />

you a chance to enjoy<br />

the special flavor of Gia<br />

Lai coffee.<br />

and neglected natural sight of<br />

mountains and forests to our heart's<br />

content and let our souls sink into<br />

the dance of nature and cool, fresh<br />

air. That was a wonderful and<br />

unforgettable moment in our life!<br />

Returning to Trai Bo, we decided<br />

to continue to cross the jungle.<br />

We trekked across high slopes and<br />

sometimes had to stop and take a rest.<br />

Amid the forest of high trees, we felt<br />

how small we were. We seemed to be<br />

explorers in an adventurous movie.<br />

The feeling of adventure made us<br />

forget the sweat streaming down our<br />

bodies and tired legs.<br />

If you are nature lovers and do not<br />

hesitate to face the challenges of<br />

trekking, please make a plan for<br />

conquering the K50 Waterfall this<br />

summer. Don't forget to take physical<br />

exercise to improve your health and<br />

prepare necessary belongings for your<br />

journey. The "Paradise" of Gia Lai is<br />

always a challenge to backpackers.<br />

Backpackers should have a sense of<br />

joining hands to protect its pristine<br />

beauty.<br />

night. It is very dry and<br />

hot from February to<br />

April. It is rainy season<br />

from May to July.<br />

ñ However, An Khe is<br />

different because it is an<br />

intersection between<br />

the plateau and the<br />

plain, so the best season<br />

for sightseeing is from<br />

January to June.<br />

This was the destination I chose to visit in order to discover<br />

one of the most secluded inhabited islands in the world.<br />

Rapa Nui is a volcanic island in the middle of the immense<br />

Pacific Ocean. In order to reach this place, visitors must fly<br />

from Santiago, the capital of Chile, or take a month-long boat<br />

tour on the sea. Rapa Nui means "deserted island" in the<br />

local language. Tourists often call it Easter Island, as it was<br />

discovered on Easter Sunday in 1722 by Dutch captain Jacob<br />

Roggeveen. I prefer to call it Rapa Nui because it contains a<br />

bright visual culture built by the local people for thousands<br />

of years.<br />

The heritage of the mysterious<br />

culture<br />

Despite the high cost of transport and accommodation, I<br />

still wanted to set foot on this distant island to witness its<br />

mysteries. I could feel the native culture as soon as I arrived<br />

at the airport and saw the copies of the Moai statues, specific<br />

to the Rapa Nui culture. Though they live in modern times,<br />

the people of Rapa Nui still preserve their millennia-long<br />

cultural identity. More and more tourists are coming to visit<br />

the island, but there are still "regulations" if tourists want to<br />

enter the island. One of these immutable regulations is not<br />

to touch the Moai statues. Those who deliberately touch the<br />

Moai are fined USD500, no matter who they are. Currently,<br />

there are 887 statues left on the island. Most of them are<br />

not protected by any fence. Touching the statues means<br />

the end of the world<br />

This planet is filled with so many<br />

mysterious and unexplainable<br />

structures - including the pyramids<br />

in Egypt, Stonehenge in England,<br />

and the Puma Punku stone blocks<br />

in Bolivia that bear no chisel<br />

marks and interlock with very fine<br />

precision. These sites are sometimes<br />

considered the products of aliens.<br />

Those places are easily accessible.<br />

On the contrary, the mysterious Rapa<br />

Nui Island in Chile is very difficult to<br />

approach, as it stands isolated at the<br />

end of the world.<br />

116<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong>

that you are touching the visual<br />

culture of the ancestors of the<br />

Rapa Nui people. More simply, it<br />

is a violation of the valuable assets<br />

that have brought a large number<br />

of tourists to the island when its<br />

own natural resources and soil<br />

are not rich enough to feed 6,000<br />

inhabitants.<br />

Rapa Nui covers an area of 163.3km 2 ,<br />

equivalent to three-fourths of Phu<br />

Quoc Island. Behind its smallness<br />

and lack of resources, however,<br />

is a great mysterious civilization.<br />

It boasts marvelous architectural<br />

structures that the whole world<br />

can admire. A convenient way to<br />

explore Rapa Nui if you do not have<br />

much time is to rent a car.<br />

One of the island's mysteries is<br />

why most of the Moai statues<br />

stand in line facing the inside of<br />

the island instead of facing the sea<br />

and protecting the island. Perhaps<br />

in the distant past, the Rapa Nui<br />

residents did not expect anyone<br />

from the outside to try and enter<br />

the island. The statues seem more<br />

interested in defending their own<br />

customs and beliefs. This theory<br />

was strengthened by the native<br />

Rapa Nui people I saw, who often<br />

looked at tourists suspiciously,<br />

as if they were seeing aliens who<br />

were threatening their culture and<br />

society. The Rapa Nui people were<br />

tall with dark complexions and<br />

bodies covered in tattoos, wearing<br />

traditional costumes and big<br />

earrings. I sometimes smiled at<br />

them, but they responded with an<br />

indifferent and vigilant attitude. I<br />

actually liked their straight forward<br />

and somewhat rude method of<br />

expression.<br />

We rented a car and spent two<br />

days learning about the Moai<br />

statues across the island. Rapa<br />

Nui is shaped like a triangle, with<br />

volcanoes and freshwater at each<br />

point. The island's secluded and<br />

pristine nature made us feel like<br />

we had entered another world-one<br />

completely different from what we<br />

had previously known. Although<br />

the road network had not been<br />

completed yet, it was enough for us<br />

to travel around and contemplate<br />

the island's beautiful natural sights.<br />

The stern faces of the Moai statues<br />

have been watching the island for<br />

thousands of years. Some have red<br />

hats made from volcanic cinders.<br />

The construction of the statues<br />

took lots of people and lots of time.<br />

Archeologists have put significant<br />

time and effort into studying<br />

how the statues were built and<br />

transported-most weigh tens of<br />

tons. Some weigh hundreds of<br />

tons and are over 20 meters high.<br />

Although Rapa Nui is just a small<br />

island formed from volcanic<br />

eruption and ocean tides, the<br />

local people dedicated all of their<br />

resources to the construction<br />

of the huge statues. In order to<br />

transport and place the colossal<br />

statues on the stone platforms,<br />

the Rapa Nui people needed a<br />

large quantity of wood.<br />

They deforested the island so<br />

extensively that they eventually<br />

ran out of trees. With no means<br />

of transport, the construction of<br />

Moai came to a standstill.<br />

Itinerary:<br />

ñ From Vietnam, you fly<br />

to the capital of Santiago,<br />

Chile, transiting in one of<br />

three airports - Sydney,<br />

Auckland, Doha or Sao<br />

Paulo - depending on<br />

the airlines you fly with.<br />

A return ticket costs<br />

between USD1,500 - 2,200,<br />

depending on the time of<br />

the year. From Santiago, you<br />

fly with the Latam Airlines<br />

to Rapa Nui, a return ticket<br />

costs USD300 - 600.<br />

Activities:<br />

ñ You should spend at least<br />

one or two days riding a<br />

bicycle around the island.<br />

You will have a wonderful<br />

experience when you<br />

contemplate herds of wild<br />

horses grazing in a carefree<br />

way on the grasslands<br />

close to the blue sea of the<br />

Pacific, and moai scattered<br />

everywhere guarding the<br />

mysterious island. You can<br />

rent a bike at the campsite<br />

or in the center of Hanga<br />

Roa Town.<br />

Currency:<br />

ñ Chilean use peso (CLP).<br />

Tourists should change<br />

your money from USD to<br />

CLP in the mainland ($1<br />

= CLP650). In the island,<br />

the exchange rate is lower<br />

($1 = CLP500). There are<br />

some state-owned banks in<br />

Hang Roa Town where you<br />

can exchange your money<br />

during office hours. If you<br />

do, remember to bring your<br />

passport with you.<br />

Accommodation:<br />

ñ Hotels and resorts are<br />

rather expensive (about<br />

USD250 - 300/per room/per<br />

night). However, you can<br />

rent a tent on the campsite<br />

with a cost of USD15 - 20,<br />

or a double room in this<br />

area at the price of USD50<br />

- 55/room/night.<br />

Souvenir:<br />

ñ Go to the island office to<br />

affix the symbol of a moai<br />

on your passport.<br />

Experiences:<br />

The followings are the<br />

must-do things on<br />

Rapa Nui:<br />

ñ Bathe in the sea and pick<br />

coconuts on the Anakena<br />

beach. Legend has it that<br />

the beach is the first place<br />

the ancestors of the Rapa<br />

Nui people set foot on.<br />

ñ Contemplate sunset from<br />

the top of the Orongo<br />

Volcano.<br />

ñ Visit the Rano Raraku<br />

quarry, where the Rapa<br />

Nui people created the<br />

mysterious moai during<br />

ancient times.<br />

ñ Enjoy wild guava fruit from<br />

the roadsides.<br />

ñ Cook for yourself<br />

and book a homestay<br />

accommodation to save<br />

on costs.<br />

ñ Enjoy the traditional dance<br />

of the local people every<br />

afternoon.<br />

ñ Kayak around the island.<br />

ñ Make an offshore fishing<br />

trip with the local people.<br />

Lack of resources, population growth, exhaustion of food<br />

sources, rampant epidemic diseases, bloody civil wars, and<br />

cannibalism caused the gradual disappearance of the Rapa Nui<br />

civilization. As I viewed the scattered and solitary statues lying<br />

in the Rano Raraku quarry, it seemed to me that the civilization<br />

had disappeared because of an excessive dedication to visual<br />

elements.<br />

The world of nature lovers<br />

I<br />

am a nature lover and selecting Rapa Nui as a relaxation<br />

destination after a long journey exploring South<br />

America was a worthy award. Four days on the island<br />

was long enough for me to mix with pristine nature. I<br />

had opportunities to wallow in sunshine on the Anakena<br />

beach and to admire the coconut forests winding along<br />

the white-sand dunes. Legend has it that this beach was the first<br />

place that the Rapa Nui ancestors set foot on after their long and<br />

dangerous voyage on the vast ocean. It also seems to be the last<br />

stop in man's migration journey to the distant lands of South<br />

America thousands of years ago. A small and calm channel facing<br />

the Pacific helped me to get rid of my fatigue and brought me<br />

peace of mind. I imagined the peaceful life of the island guarded<br />

by the rows of solemn and mysterious Moais.<br />

Rapa Nui is a very expensive place to visit, as nearly everything

is transported in from mainland Chile. We stayed in<br />

a campsite close to the sea and Hang Roa Town. We<br />

shared the kitchen with the house owner. Visitors can<br />

save a substantial amount of money by buying and<br />

cooking food from the market - an area with several<br />

vans in the center of the town. Seafood, however, and<br />

particularly fish, is relatively cheap. Following tourism,<br />

the island's fishing industry is its second largest<br />

economic sector.<br />

In order to save our money, we often had quick lunches<br />

of sandwiches or cheese bought from Santiago. But we<br />

treated ourselves to a good dinner that we prepared.<br />

One day when we were given banana flowers we made<br />

nÈm and could taste the distinct flavors of Vietnam.<br />

The roadside wild guava forests laden with fruit in the<br />

springtime were an interesting present for tourists.<br />

We read this information and decided to enjoy the<br />

free guavas. The fruit is small and red on the inside, as<br />

sweet as sugar candy. The nature in this place is truly<br />

generous to visitors.<br />

The sunset gave us a wonderful opportunity to sit and<br />

contemplate. Nighfall brought silence over the island,<br />

broken only by the murmur of waves. Under the moon<br />

the moai become even more prominent, shining under<br />

halos of light.<br />

Tunnel<br />

Location:<br />

ñ Tunnel of Love is a botanical phenomenon which can<br />

be found in the West of Ukraine, 7km from Klevan, a little<br />

town around 350km from Kyiv, the capital.<br />

Activities:<br />

ñ The Tunnel of Love is a perfect spot for a romantic date,<br />

making a proposal, organizing an unbelievable wedding<br />

photo shoot, or even... having a quick wedding ceremony! It<br />

is said that if lovers, walking hand in hand through the tunnel<br />

make a wish, it will come true, but only if they are sincerely<br />

in love.<br />

Events:<br />

of<br />

Love<br />

Without a doubt, it is<br />

the most romantic,<br />

i n c r e d i b l y<br />

beautiful, fairytalelike<br />

place in the<br />

whole of Ukraine!<br />

S u r p r i s i n g l y ,<br />

it's a part of an<br />

old abandoned<br />

railway running through the forest to an<br />

old wood factory. During the years, the trees<br />

and bushes, lining the rails, grew up, and<br />

regularly passing trains cut their branches,<br />

helping to get into a shape of an arch. This<br />

arch stretches for up to 6km (some small<br />

areas happen to be without trees) and looks<br />

like a green tunnel. Tourists mostly embark<br />

on the first km and then turn back, so in case<br />

you keep going further, you are more likely<br />

to have the whole wild slice of nature for<br />

yourself.<br />

ñ This magical place inspired Japanese movie director<br />

Akiyoshi Imazeki, and he filmed a drama "Klevani: Ai no<br />

Tunnel" which was first released, by the way, at Hanoi<br />

International Film Festival in 2014.<br />

"Pearl of the Carpathian Mountains", "Sea Eye", "Ukrainian Wonder",<br />

Synevir Lake has lots of names yet none of them fully describe its picturesque<br />

beauty. It is the largest lake of the Carpathians (situated at 989 meters above<br />

sea level) and surrounded by hundred years old trees. Scientists estimate that<br />

the lake was formed over 10,000 years ago!<br />

Its water is absolutely clear, transparent, and slightly mineralized, and the<br />

lake rich in rare species of fish such as trout and rainbow - hundreds of<br />

them pop up as soon as you start giving them food. Fishing, camping and<br />

swimming is prohibited, but there are not many who would dare to swim in<br />

11-degree water (even in midst of summer).<br />

A small island, related to a romantic legend, is right in the middle of the lake.<br />

It is said that a rich Count had a daughter named Syn who fell in love with<br />

a simple shepherd Vir. When the Count had found out about it he ordered<br />

his servants to kill Vir and they threw a big stone at him from a cliff. When<br />

Syn found out that her beloved was dead, she sat near the stone and began to<br />

cry. Soon a marvelous blue lake appeared from her tears around that stone.<br />

Hence forth it was named after these two lovers - Syn and Vir.<br />

Now only two wooden 13-meter high sculptures of young lovers remind us<br />

about that myth. It is also believed if people meet and fall in love near the<br />

lake, their love will last forever, unsurprisingly making it a popular spot<br />

among locals to celebrate weddings.<br />

Odessa<br />

City<br />

- The<br />

Sleepless<br />

City<br />

Beautiful classical architecture, delightful food, sandy beaches, bustling<br />

nightlife, and dozens of festivals throughout summer - it is all about Odessa,<br />

the main Ukrainian city on the Black Sea.<br />

However, the major Odessa "pearl" is actually its citizens, who are extremely<br />

friendly, hospitable and famous for their great sense of humor. Asking a<br />

simple question - "How can I get to the city center?" - you might hear: "Why<br />

do you need to go to the city center? No, you don't need to go there. Better<br />

visit our Privoz! You go straight, after turn right..." - locals are known for their<br />

habit to answer a question with a question.<br />

Walking, perhaps, is activity No1 in Odessa, especially during the summer<br />

time. All the major sights are concentrated in the city center. You find yourself<br />

in front of the gorgeous Opera House which is considered as one of the most<br />

beautiful in the world, then walk along Primorsky Boulevard linen with<br />

acacias, reaching Odessa's most iconic symbol, the Potemkin Steps (Stairs),<br />

having a length of 142m.<br />

Beautiful classical<br />

main Ukrainian city<br />

on the Black Sea.<br />

There is a place in Odessa known as Ukrainian Ibiza. It's Arcadia - a beach<br />

area full of discos and night clubs, cozy restaurants and cafes. It is a paradise<br />

for night life lovers and those who seek to dance into the night! Those who<br />

prefer the more quiet "beach life" might check out sea resorts Zatoka and<br />

Karolino-Bugaz with pleasing white sand beaches (situated around 60km<br />

from Odessa and are easily reachable by electric train or minibus). Usually<br />

they are full of tourists in summer.<br />

In summer, the atmosphere in the whole city is so relaxed, and the city itself<br />

is really sunny and welcoming, that it is no surprise why locals call Odessa<br />

"God's smile".<br />

Sofiyivsky Park<br />

- "Ukraine's<br />

Versaille"<br />

Sofiyivka situated in the heart of<br />

Ukraine, is one of the world's famous<br />

garden-park art creations, people<br />

compare it with France's Versaille.<br />

It is not just a park, but a standard<br />

of landscape architecture. There are numerous<br />

waterfalls, fountains and cascades, grottoes<br />

and rocks, historical buildings and antique<br />

sculptures, lakes and blue-water ponds, pavilions<br />

and stone gardens, thousands of rare trees and<br />

plants. And even an underground river Acheron<br />

that you can explore by boat!<br />

It all covers almost 180 hectares at the outskirts<br />

of the ancient town Uman. It is one of the most<br />

famous examples of late 18 th and early 19 th century<br />

European landscape garden design preserved to<br />

our time.<br />

There is a main entrance decorated with a<br />

crown of the Roman goddess Vesta (goddess<br />

of the hearth, home, and family). It is said that<br />

a couple who pass under her crown aregoing<br />

to live happily and is one of the reasons why<br />

many newlyweds come to Sofiyivka. The park is<br />

decorated with the statues of Hermes, Venus,<br />

Cupid, Apollo, etc.

Highlights:<br />

ñ There are dozens<br />

of workshops such as<br />

embroidery, pottery,<br />

forging; you can learn<br />

how to make candles, and<br />

traditional Ukrainian dolls<br />

(motanka).<br />

ñ More and more<br />

countries participate<br />

in this unique fair each<br />

year. Last year, Vietnam<br />

was among those who<br />

presented its own national<br />

goods for the first time.<br />

Sorochyntsi<br />

Fair -<br />

Traditional<br />

Colours<br />

This is not just a fair, but a one-week<br />

picturesque holiday starting this year<br />

on 22 th August. It is like a journey<br />

through time, back to hundredyears-ago<br />

Ukraine - all the sellers<br />

are wearing national costumes, men<br />

are joking, laughing, occasionally<br />

drinking gorilka (Ukrainian vodka),<br />

and fighting to find out who is the<br />

strongest one; whilst women are<br />

discussing last news and singing.<br />

Nowadays, producers, vendors,<br />

and simply gawkers from all over<br />

Ukraine flock to a village Velyki<br />

Sorochynci (Poltava region) for<br />

theater performances and insane<br />

shopping. They trade and advertise<br />

home-made products such as honey,<br />

jam, wooden and mud goods, clothes<br />

and all kinds of food. Have you heard<br />

of Ukrainian traditional dumplings<br />

(varenyky) and soup with beetroots<br />

(borsch)? At Sorochyntsi Fair they are<br />

going to be made just in front of you,<br />

and everyone is welcome to try these<br />

famous national dishes.<br />

Lviv - The<br />

Mysterious<br />

City<br />

Once you appear in mysterious Lviv with its<br />

narrow charming cobble streets and fairytale<br />

atmosphere, it will capture your heart forever.<br />

Many tourists from all over the world keep<br />

coming back again and again, settling for<br />

months, and thanking heavens for the quite<br />

cheap life here (compare to western standards).<br />

RANKING:<br />

ñ "Lonely Planet"<br />

ranked Lviv<br />

at the top-5<br />

Best European<br />

destinations<br />

together with<br />

Dordogne region<br />

in France and<br />

Italian Venice.<br />

Average bill at a restaurant - USD10, a night at<br />

a hostel - USD20. So far, the hardest choice you<br />

are going to have to make in Lviv is which restaurant to choose to fit as many of them as<br />

possible during your stay. There is no just "a restaurant", absolutely each one has its own<br />

concept. For example, "Dim Legend" is a bar, restaurant, and souvenir shop spread over five<br />

floors with a vintage car on the roof. Every floor has a different urban legend as a theme.<br />

Restaurant "Baczewski" - its interior looks like early 20 th century, with vintage furniture and<br />

an old piano. The trick of "Pid zolotoyu rozoyu" is menu without prices, so after getting a bill<br />

people try all their best to negotiate what they should pay.<br />

The historic Lviv city center is a UNESCO heritage site. Rynok Square is in the very heart of<br />

the center. The Square has the traditional City Town Hall ("ratusha"), built in 19 th century,<br />

and is surrounded by 44 houses, reflecting art and architecture from previous centuries (16 th<br />

- 20 th century). Many of the houses became museums, art galleries, hostels, restaurants,<br />

and coffee shops. There is nothing more interesting than climbing up Town Hall counting<br />

numerous stairs and at the top you are going to be awarded with the best city views!<br />

Besides, Lviv is known as the best spot for coffee lovers. There are dozens of nice coffee<br />

shops at every corner. It is hard to find "take away" as having a cup of coffee is the whole<br />

ritual for the locals. They take their time and enjoy, chatting and reading newspapers.<br />

Kamianets-<br />

Podilskyi<br />

Castle - One<br />

of Ukraine's<br />

Seven<br />

Wonders<br />

In the early 17 th century, as a legend says,<br />

when Turkish Khan Osman approached<br />

Kamianets-Podilskyi city and saw the<br />

fortifications, he asked admiringly,<br />

who built those mighty walls, and was<br />

given an answer: "God Himself". After,<br />

being unable to conquer the city, he said: "So let<br />

God Himself capture it", and turned his troops<br />

away from the fortress. Throughout its long and<br />

violent history, despite dozens of attempts, the<br />

stronghold was captured only twice.<br />

Kamianets-Podilskyi fortress (situated in the<br />

same city in the West of Ukraine) is a rock with<br />

twelve towers that are linked by a wall. It was<br />

first built of wood in the 10 th to 13 th centuries,<br />

then, rebuilt in stone. There is a large courtyard<br />

in the middle where a fantastic museum with<br />

quite interesting exhibits displays the history<br />

of Ukraine over the last century. Luckily<br />

most of the towers are open for tourists, and<br />

many offer attractive views of the town and<br />

the surroundings. But the most breathtaking<br />

panorama is from the Turkish Bridge leading<br />

to the fortress.<br />

FOOD AND<br />

BEVERAGE:<br />

ñ Vylkove is also<br />

known as a town of<br />

winemakers. A special<br />

type of grape called<br />

"novak" is grown<br />

exclusively in this<br />

town, and the homemade<br />

eponymous<br />

wine has a gentle<br />

delicate taste.<br />

Vylkove is a unique little village on<br />

the border with Romania covered<br />

with many water channels. It is the<br />

only village in Ukraine, where boats<br />

are used by locals as well as cars,<br />

similar to the western part of southern<br />

Vietnam.<br />

Although it is called Ukrainian Venice, the main<br />

tourist attraction in Vylkove is not waterways, but<br />

Danube, the biggest river in Europe (3,000km).<br />

Rather, the Danube Bio Reserve which covers<br />

up to 50 thousand hectares and is the biggest<br />

swampland reserve in Europe! The Romanian part<br />

of the reserve is protected by UNESCO.<br />

Vylkove is located at the scenic confluence of the<br />

Danube and the Black Sea. Tourists are taken to<br />

visit "zero kilometer", where the river flows into<br />

the sea. Bird-watching is the main activity of<br />

the one-day cruise tour - you may see gorgeous<br />

white pelicans, geese, and white-tailed sea eagles.<br />

Not to mention the spectacular views and some<br />

astoundingly beautiful scenery you are going to<br />

be awarded with. Besides, there are other available<br />

activities such as fishing and wine tasting!<br />

Kyiv is an<br />

outstanding city,<br />

and at the same<br />

time is the most<br />

u n d e r e s t i m a t e d<br />

European capital,<br />

according to numerous tourist guides. There are not<br />

just a couple of "must-see" sights that usually attract<br />

tourists in many other cities, but hundreds of precious<br />

hidden treasures, which are displayed in architecture<br />

and art. It is hard to expect less from more than 1000-<br />

year-old city!<br />

Let's start with the Monastery of Caves, Kyivo-Pechers'ka<br />

Lavra, set on hills above the Dnipro River in 11 th century<br />

- with its gold-domed churches and the underground<br />

tunnels lined with mummified monks. Sounds a bit<br />

mysterious... In fact, it is the holiest land for the millions<br />

of Orthodox Christians.<br />

In 2014, she had been<br />

traveling for a year through<br />

South-East Asia until she<br />

discovered Vietnam. She found<br />

it to be a fascinating country<br />

and decided to settle here<br />

for "some months"to know<br />

more about its traditions and<br />

culture. So far, it's been two<br />

years she has been living<br />

here. During this time she<br />

wrote many articles about<br />

Vietnam, but none about her<br />

own country. At the same time<br />

she has noticed that many<br />

Vietnamese know so little<br />

about Ukraine, despite the fact<br />

that it is located right in the<br />

heart of Europe and has many<br />

interesting things to offer. That<br />

is the reason why she writes<br />

this article for Travellive. Of the<br />

main treasures of her country,<br />

the most precious one, in her<br />

opinion, is its people, warmhearted<br />

and helpful.<br />

Next, St. Sophia Cathedral is the oldest church in the city,<br />

which has spectacular millennial mosaics and frescoes.<br />

Kyivo-Pechers'ka Lavra and St. Sophia Cathedral, both,<br />

included to the UNESCO World Heritage List. Entrance<br />

fee is around USD4.<br />

One of favorite tourist places is Andriyivsky Descent<br />

(called by locals Andriyivsky Uzviz), very often compared<br />

to Monmartre in Paris. It is a narrow down-hill street<br />

full of historical landmarks like, for example, the<br />

house of Mikhail Bulgakov, who wrote the enigmatic<br />

novel "Master and Margarita". There are a lot of cozy<br />

restaurants, art-galleries, and shops, selling hand-made<br />

Ukrainian handicraft and old soviet relics.<br />

The Landscape Alley is within walking distance of<br />

Andriyivsky Descent. Perhaps, the funniest place in the<br />

capital consists of hilarious contemporary art sculptures,<br />

covered with bright colorful mosaics. Imagine, you<br />

appear in Alice in Wonderland’s world... This is it!<br />

Pirogovo Open-Air, covering around 150 hectares near<br />

Kyiv, is the largest outdoor museum in the world. It<br />

is a N01 place to visit while being in Kyiv in summer.<br />

There are over 320 museum constructions like houses,<br />

cowshed, windmills, churches that represent rural<br />

life, traditions and culture of Ukrainians living in the<br />

different parts of the country hundreds of years ago.<br />
