A BREATHTAKING 

PARADISE IN XINJIANG 

If there was a "heaven on earth" 

in China, people would surely think 

of Jiuzhaigou of Sichuan province. 

But if you ever visited Xinjiang, the 

landscape of the most well-known 

route of the historical Silk Road, 

you would see that Jiuzhaigou pales 

in comparison to an even a better 

paradise.

DEAR READERS, 

The concept of a "flat world" 

gives us an imagination that 

every border in the world is 

collapsed. However, if this is 

true, the world should stop at 

remote areas, where are holding 

many exciting experiences, such 

as Siberia, a Far Eastern region 

of Russia. You will easily feel that 

if you take the world's longest 

railway journey running through 

7 time zones across the width 

of the world's largest country 

with images of expanding taiga 

forests, Baikal lake, white snow 

and immense grasslands. This 

journey on the 100-year-old 

Trans-Siberian Railway will 

take you around one eighth of 

the earth. The railway is a good 

memory of many Vietnamese, 

who used to live in this big 

country. 

In this special issue of cuisine, 

Travellive will take you to an 

exceptional culinary journey to 

taste delectable dishes of Hanoi 

and HCMC via 7 signature 

restaurants. With coffee addicts, 

do not miss the list of must-try 

cafes around tourist cities in 

Vietnam. 

We wish you an interesting 

experience in your autumn journey 

with your families.

The opening of three new Vietnamese restaurants - Q, 

home Finest, and The Chopsticks - is testament that 

the national cuisine still belongs at the head of the table. 

All three new zrestaurants are located at Dien Bien Phu 

Street, District 3, HCM City. According to Mr. Nguyen 

Hong Nhat, General Director of Viet Deli JSC., the Hanoibased 

restaurant group with quality Vietnamese cuisine at 

its heart. Viet Deli's opening of Q, Home Finest, and The Chopsticks 

comes after a string of successful restaurants in hanoi and hoi An. 

The three new restaurants are nestled in trendy District 3 and all 

share one trait - a steadfast loyalty to good Vietnamese food. But 

the similarities end there as each venue flaunts a different menu, 

atmosphere, and experience. 

Q Saigon is the place to see modern, innovative Vietnamese cuisine 

in action. The open kitchen allows patrons to peer in at the expert 

chefs as they theatrically juggle wok-fried lobster with crab roe sauce 

and marinated beed in coconut flambe. Executive chef Nguyen Gia 

Thien ensures that the theatrics don't detract from the food, however. 

"Each dish has been carefully thought out and the recipes employ only 

quality, locally-sourced ingredients," he says. The villa itself has been 

sympathetically restored with love and a nod to Saigon's colonial 

history, with a leafy garden suited for a pre-dinner cocktail or glass 

of wine. 

home Finest is the third installment of home restaurants that started 

in hanoi and expanded to hoi An. Blending fine Vietnamese food with 

elegant atmospheres, the previous home restaurants shook up the 

food scene in their respective cities. home Finest continues the trend, 

though guests are treated to fare a rung higher than that found at the 

pioneering establishments, and with a southern twist. 

Chopsticks Saigon takes a different turn again, adopting a more 

mellow approach to authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Of the three 

new restaurants Chopsticks Saigon is the most casual dining option, 

specialising in soups, salads, and spring rolls. 

With Vietnam becoming increasingly cosmopiltan, international food 

options will continue to spread through its cities. The variety is 

welcome but it will never breach the stronghold of Vietnam's local 

cuisine, as demonstrated by Q, Home Finest, and The Chopsticks. 

"With so many excellent international offerings, it's easy to accidently 

bypass Vietnamese food," he says Gia Thien. "We are here to remind 

the city of its roots; that our national cuisine is still king."

Born in the Black Forecast in the 

southeast of Germany, Stephan 

has had many opportunities to 

work in different luxurious hotels 

and resorts in Europe, Asia, the 

Middle East and Africa. For him, 

talent, creativity, leadership and 

teamwork are significant elements 

to the success of hotels. 

What brought you to Vietnam? 

"My first journey to Vietnam in 2003 

changed my life". I love your country 

due to its cuisine, beautiful sceneries 

and people. Everything here is new and 

far different from the other places that I 

have lived in before, even the place where 

I grew up. Foods, cultures, landscapes 

and smells, they are all mixed naturally 

together. 

How have you been adapting to the 

new culture here? 

Living in a new culture may be either an 

exciting experience or a challenge if you 

are not as open and curious as me. It's 

not that you have to change yourself but 

rather know how to respect other people 

in the cultures. 

What do you think about Vietnamese 

cuisine and what do you think will be 

changed in the future? 

Vietnamese people are more and more 

aware of their health problems, especially 

the quality of foods and their sources, how 

crops are grown in an unsustainable way, 

and whether they are good for health. 

Restaurants should be more creative 

in their menus and be more concerned 

about the sources of foods to ensure they 

complement each other and bring better 

culinary experiences to diners. 

Which new elements are you offering 

gourmets at Pullman Vung Tau? 

My mission is to turn meals into the heart 

and soul of Pullman Vung Tau and local 

communities by offering fantastic and 

precious culinary experiences. Safe foods 

will not be a luxurious thing but common 

for every customer. This is also a key value 

that we are aiming for. 

Could you share us upcoming culinary 

programs of the hotel? 

We are offering a lavish selection of 

fresh seafood and freshwater specialties 

cooked in different recipes, including both 

BBQ and an array of desserts at Riviera 

restaurant every Friday, and Saturday 

evenings and other holidays. Our motto is 

"Eat as much as you can". 

The new Sweet&Co. bakery cafe of the 

hotel also serves the finest cakes, ice 

cream and bubble tea. 

The idea of "The Junction" at the hotel's 

lobby will be also launched very soon to 

showcase an international and modern bar 

menu to its guests. 

Could you share information about "an 

iconic culinery destination"? 

It's to welcome people to a new age, 

where people are choosing to have their 

meals in a distinctive place that can bring 

them simple but memorable experience. 

It's where Michelin restaurants are 

deserted while small, local restaurants 

are crowded with gastronomes. Let's 

take Saigon as an example. It's definitely a 

wonderful city with many well-appointed 

restaurants at the urban centre where 

you can enjoy both local and international 

foods among an array of recreational 

centre. Saigon has become a symbolic 

food address. It's simply because it 

boasts diverse cuisines that you can't see 

anywhere else. I hope Pullman Vung Tau 

will be such a food address in future. 

Thank you very much for sharing us!

Gamuda Land not only satisfies customers with its 

construction quality and on-time completion schedule, 

as well as integrated and luxurious conveniences, 

but also wins the hearts of its residents due to the 

forthcoming and professional customer services. 

A 

t Gamuda Land, every staff, from sales 

consultancy and project design to 

township management departments, is 

working closely together as a big family 

to take care of customers, residents 

and the whole community. Aside from 

swift responses and abilities to deeply understand 

customer need, the sales consultants of Gamuda Land 

also have the abilities to analyze the best options that 

offer the most benefits for both living and investment 

purposes. When a contract is successfully finalized, a 

separate division with professional experts will complete 

all related document procedures with clients. This is 

considered a vital stage because all questions related to 

the legality of the project as well as meeting customer 

satisfaction about products and monetary flow are taken 

care of. Thus, at this stage, customers will always be 

updated with clear and official information regarding 

prices, discounts and other aspects of the project. 

In addition to the need of a perfect home and profit 

values, customers pay considerable attention towards 

the general planning of the project design and the 

intricate details inside every home unit. Thus, the 

project designers will balance every client's individual 

expectation with the project's aesthetic elements and 

architectural styles in order to ensure the unity of the 

township while meeting the requirements of houseowners. 

As a "town-maker", Gamuda Land creates 

places that people will call home, places that people 

will feel excited to bring their families to, be a part of, 

grow up and grow old in. The developer masterplans by 

harmoniously bringing together all the key elements to 

create a personality for the town so when people move 

in, they'll experience a real difference and want to be a 

part of it. 

At Gamuda Gardens township, Gamuda City project 

(Hoang Mai, Hanoi), township management department 

will be replying to all inquiries, solving difficulties and 

adjusting any arisen problems in residents' daily life. 

Customer care officers will always listen to customer 

demand and ease any concerns, fostering a tight 

relationship between Gamuda Land and residents. 

In order to enrich the spiritual life of the community, 

Gamuda Land often organizes remarkable events. 

Particularly, Gamuda Lantern Festival is currently 

held at LePARC by Gamuda shopping center - service 

complex with an array of recreational activities and

sweet love story 

for Vietnamese 

Women's Day 

For his directorial debut, Andy 

Serkis brings to life the inspiring

an adventurous couple who 

refuse to give up in the face of 

a devastating disease. When 

Robin is struck down by polio 

at the age of 28, he is confined 

to a hospital bed and given only 

a few months to live. With the 

help of Diana's twin brothers 

(Tom Hollander) and the 

groundbreaking ideas of inventor 

Teddy Hall (Hugh Bonneville), 

Robin and Diana dare to escape 

the hospital ward to seek out a 

full and passionate life together 

raising their young son, traveling 

and devoting their lives to 

helping other polio patients.

Art exhibition "La sourire de la mutation" (translation: The smile of mutation) brings 

about a poetic perspective of Vietnam in its metamorphosis at big cities such as Hanoi 

and HCMC. The three artists coming from three different countries: France, Belgium 

and Vietnam - Pierre Larauza, Emmanuelle Vincent and Truong Minh Thy, explore the 

theme of the changes in urban space through different perspectives: visual, dance and 

installation art. The scenery of Vietnam's metropolitan cities is illustrated in the different 

images of girls. 

The exhibition takes place from now until November 4 th at L'Espace, 24 Trang Tien, 

Hoan Kiem, Hanoi. Free entrance.

THE LEGEND OF AUGUSTE 

ESCOFFIER AND BIRTH OF 

FINE DINING 

The term restaurant itself was first 

used from the end of 1700s during 

the French Revolution. "Restaurant" 

was used to describe eating 

places serving folks in common 

guesthouses while the aristocracy had their own 

chefs at home. Ony those, who were cooking for 

the royal families and noble class with high skills, 

could be called chefs. When the French Revolution 

happened, skillful chefs from aristocratic 

households were unemployed and began working 

in restaurants, where they served a more diverse 

menu than only a dish of soup as before. This was 

the start of fine dining restaurants. 

Fine dining cuisine was developed and became 

popular to the world in the beginning of the 20 th 

century with the support of a culinary legend, 

Auguste Escoffier (1846-1935), the father of Haute 

Cuisine. Known as a French chef, who popularized 

and updated traditional French cooking methods, 

he was the producer of the best sauces of the 

modern world such as tomato, espagnole, bächamel 

and hollandaise sauces.

nhñg ai vÈi vµng. 

Instead of having all dishes for diners at the same 

time, Escoffier offered one by one as an a la carte 

menu, as what we call it today. By this way, foods 

would be neatly placed and served on dining tables. 

He also developed the kitchen Brigade system, in 

which each kitchen staff (Chef de Brigade) would 

take in charge of certain tasks in the kitchen. 

Saucier (saucemaker/sautä cook) prepares sauces 

and sautäed items; Rotisseur (roast cook) and 

Grillardin (grill cook) prepare grilled and roasted 

foods. Poissonnier (fish cook) prepares fish and 

seafood dishes. Le Guide Culinaire book with over 

5000 menus codified by Escoffier is still used today 

as an encyclopedia in the culinary world. 

As complimented by Germany's Kaiser Wilhelm 

II: "I am the Emperor of Germany, but you are the 

emperor of chefs" when Escoffier served on SS 

Imperator ship, his talent was spread beyond the 

border of France. His fine dining style was expanded 

to other cultures, from Europe to Asia. At that time, 

enjoying a fine dining party did not just express the 

way diners taste the foods prepared by leading chefs 

but it was also a refined and elegant lifestyle.

FINE DINING IN 

VIETNAMESE CULTURE 

Vietnamese cuisine provides a wide 

variety of classy parties. However, 

for Vietnamese people, a traditional 

party should be very complicated 

and requires a lot of time from the 

preparation to decoration and enjoying. Street foods 

such as bread, girdle cake or tofu with sugar sirup 

had been rarely served in big parties. Therefore, 

when Vietnam adapts the trend of simplifying every 

kind of food in the international refined cuisine, 

these popular dishes have been added into the 

luxurious menu with many new recipes. It's now 

easy to understand that one of the most favorite 

culinary trends in Vietnam is fine dining, in which 

Vietnamese foods are cooked in international style. 

One of the most remarkable addresses in Vietnam 

to experience fine dining style is Vietnam House, 

which is nested in an Indochine house, built in 

1910 with an old-fashioned, cage-style elevator, 

old veranda windows on the background of yellow 

brick walls. Vietnam House offers diners both 

street foods and traditional dishes of different 

regions cooked in modern and original recipes 

of Australia-born Vietnamese celebrity chef Luke 

Nguyen. Being well-known for the success of Red 

Lantern Vietnamese restaurants at Surry Hills, he is 

also the writer of Secrets Of The Red Lantern, The 

Songs Of Sapa, Indochine, Luke Nguyen's Greater 

Mekong and The Food Of Vietnam, and the host of 

well-known TV programs broadcasted in over 150 

countries around the world about Vietnamese food 

as well as methods of tasting Vietnamese traditional 

dishes and the Mekong River Delta. 

Vietnam House wins the heart of all diners due 

to its high quality ingredients. As shared by Chef 

Luke Nguyen, the restaurant's cooking is as 

mouthwatering as it is value-driven, often making 

magic out of ingredients, such as Goi Cuon with 

sesame seared Norwegian salmon, dill and caviar; 

Banh Dap with Iberico pork hand made la cam 

noodle and river prawn or Bo Kho with Australian 

beef cooked in Pho broth, served with a pea puree & 

Italian Black truffle.

Vietnamese cuisine is not as well-set as French and Japanese dishes but the cooks take 

much attention to the fine combination of spices to offer the best taste. Meanwhile, 

fine dining style emphasizes on the refined and elegant beauty from small details 

perfectly combined in harmonious colors. In Vietnam House, simple dishes such as 

brown rice noodles wok-fried with asparagus, mushrooms and choy sum are always 

finely decorated to balance the colors and tastes of each plate. In addition, you can easily 

recognize that various recipes in the restaurant's fine dining menu are calculated carefully, even in the 

way of serving. Dishes are served in such a right order that gourmets can feel a perfect meal with the 

best combination of main and side dishes featuring the flavors of meat, rice, vegetables or soup. Vietnam 

House highlights Vietnamese cuisine by adapting basic elements in the classic French fine dining style 

and traditional methods as well as creating its own recipes to surprise every lover of Vietnamese cuisine 

in its posh parties.

GIANG CAF– 

An old corner of Hanoi 

In the sea of bland chains taking over 

Hanoi's cafä scene, people still keep 

their old habit of dropping by traditional 

ones with historic values such as Giang 

Cafä. Its timeworn patina and original 

flavors of coffee remind people of an 

aged and elegant Hanoi during eras long 

since past. 

Giang is a hugely popular cafä to discover 

the culinary culture of Hanoians shown 

by its special ca phe trung, or egg coffee. 

This is one of the oldest coffee shops in

Van Giang, who was working as a 

bartender for the famous fi ve-star Sofi tel 

Legend Metropole Hanoi hotel. The egg 

coffee had been adapted from his recipe 

of cappuccino during that time. From 

egg coffee, egg with cocoa and egg coffee 

with green beans, to egg with rum and 

coffee, egg with beer and egg matcha, 

eggs are used as a main ingredient 

throughout the menu and it is surely

LAM CAF– 

Coffee and old paintings 

Away from the noisy life, you can indulge in old paintings about 

Hanoian people and streets and self-portraits with autographs of 

many painters such as Bui Xuan Phai, Duong Bich Lien and Nguyen 

Sang, along with works depicting musicians, writers and poets such 

as Van Cao, To Hoai, Nguyen Hong and The Lu. 

Their traditional method has been carried on from generation to 

generation. It's not a surprise that my English friend, Hugo, traveled 

thousands of kilometers to Vietnam just to try this famous coffee 

flavor.

Egg coffee will be more amazing when 

you enjoy it in the cold winter of Hanoi. 

Egg coffee should be enjoyed hot to 

feel the bitter fl avor of coffee and the 

fat and nutty taste of egg. If you have a 

sweet tooth, try an aromatic cup of egg 

with cocoa.

Back To 

BASICS WITH MOON CAKE 

& WOODEN MOLD 

From September to November of each year, people in the south of Vietnam flock to catch natural 

specialties that are only available during their rain-rich season. And of course, local women take this 

occasion to prepare elegant menus of mouthwatering plates to treat their families or friends. 

At the height of the rainy 

season when all fields are 

flooded, Siamese mud 

carp start to move inland 

to avoid rough waters in the river. 

People often call them young Siamese 

mud carp because they are just as 

small as a person's finger. At the same 

time, when water fills up all the fields, 

common sesbans (or also known as 

Egyptian river hemp) and water-lilies 

start to blossom. 

Siamese mud carp yield a rich sweet 

flavor with soft bones that can be 

cooked in a myriad of different dishes, 

of which sour broth is the most 

tantalizing. It can be easily combined 

with some Sesbania grandi floras to 

please any diner. Or try it with some 

young tamarind or fresh lime juice 

mixed with some basil leaves and 

fresh red chili, and you melt in delight 

over a simple bowl of broth serving 

with vegetable dip with caramelized 

fish sauce. For epicures, the sour mud 

carp's broth will be in its best flavor 

when the fish is cooked with sesbans 

Text: Phat Nguyen - Photos: Nam Chay

or water-lilies. For locals, this is a 

fantastic specialty because mud carps 

and sesbans are only available in the 

fl ooded season. 

While the market is far away from 

home and houses are surrounded 

by water, southwestern people 

serve their guests a unique sizzling 

cake cooked from mud carps 

and common sesbans instead of 

bean sprouts, shrimp and pork as 

normal. It seems that mud carp and 

common sesbans are such a perfect 

combination that they can make any 

of their dishes delightful and this 

sizzling cake is not an exception. If 

common sesbans reminds us of the 

sour broth or sizzling cake with mud 

carp, water-lilies wake up our taste's 

buds when they are cooked with 

salted fi sh during the fl ood season. 

Local people often choose wild waterlilies 

because they grow verdantly in 

this season. They are also sweeter 

and softer than the purple ones. 

Salted fi sh sauce is simmered with 

coconut milk, pork belly, fresh water 

anabas, mullets, lemongrass and 

fresh red chili. Then, it is served 

hot with water-lilies and some other 

fresh salads. The deep and spicy 

fl avor of salted fi sh combined with 

the sweet and crunchy taste of waterlilies 

has made it a remarkable plate 

of Dong Thap province during the 

monsoon season. 

When water fl ows all 

around the fi elds, 

locals also catch 

many frogs at the 

same time by using 

fi sh traps instead of 

the typical tools of 

fl ashlights and rods. 

Frogs are often fatter with bigger legs 

in this season. While Southwestern 

women treat their taste buds with 

a dish of stir-fried frog with coastal 

premna leaves or coconut milk, 

men prefer having grilled frog with 

lemongrass and fresh red chili. 

Among specialties of the flooded 

season, we cannot miss dishes of 

harvest mice. At this time of the year, 

mice have no way to live but to look 

for high ground or tree tops to hide 

themselves. Mice hunters will take 

this chance to catch them in order to 

sell them for some additional income 

or cook them themselves in assorted 

scrumptious dishes. 

Cao Lanh (Dong Thap province) is 

known as a local "wholesale market" 

of mice. This is also the fi rst region 

to serve the aromatic roasted mouse. 

Local people of the fl ooded region 

will prepare mice in several different 

fashions. The rodents can be stirfried, 

shredded, fried, boiled or 

cooked with lemongrass and fresh 

red chili served with green salads 

and girdle cake. However, roasted 

mouse is the best dish, in which its 

skin is crispy and its meat is as soft 

and fragrant as venison. Taste it 

once and you will understand why 

it has become a specialty that every 

visitor of Dong Thap is invited to 

try and why it leaves such a strong 

impression with so many. 

Cuisine is not only the 

art of cooking for the 

southwestern people 

of Vietnam, but it is 

also a way to retain 

precious specialties of 

the flooded season.

interview Photos: Nam Milvista 

I had an appointment 

with Mrs. Lan Huong 

in an autumn day 

at Zen Spa (Tay Ho, 

Hanoi), where its 

owner described as "a 

perfect space to meet 

friends and for those, 

who love Zen style". 

The romantic ambiance 

of the autumn and 

the peaceful, refined 

world of Zen brought 

me a full feeling of 

pleasure and comfort. 

I seemed to forget 

that I was talking to a 

businesswoman, who 

is leading her own 

spa, one of the most 

well-known spa brand 

names in Vietnam. 

nguyen Lan huong 

Founder of Zen Spa 

You were born on the special 

Vietnamese Women's Day, October 

20th, is it an interesting coincidence 

with the business that you are running? 

When I was young, I had a passion 

for art and all the things related to 

this field. I used to learn drama, 

fashion design and run a business 

related to beauty care. I joined a spa 

course and got a spa certificate of 

London in Malaysia. I also worked 

for Beauty Concept International 

company in Hong Kong before 

I opened Zen Spa. While I was 

developing Zen Spa system, I 

realized that I was keen on home 

däcor and setting. 

Let's start talking about Zen Spa! Zen 

Spa used to be strongly developed with 

a chain of spas, why did you decide to 

concentrate on the only one address as 

present? 

As you may know, Zen Spa has been 

formed and developed for 15 years 

with a chain of spas around famous 

tourist cities, from Hanoi, Cat Ba 

and Sapa to Hoi An and Danang. 

My spas had been known by many 

international visitors. However, 

once day, I just realized many more 

important things. For me, making 

profits is not the most significant 

element. After over 20 years 

working in this field, I have had 

many experiences and now I want to 

invest my time in other values of life 

that I think worthier than money. 

That is the reason why I decided to 

close other Zen spas to spend more 

time for myself, think about new 

experiences and learn how to share 

with other people. 

You might have specific reasons for this 

decision when Zen was prosperously 

developed. Could you please share us? 

That's right. I used to have a major 

change in life. It was like sudden 

storms happening when the sky was 

still blue that swept away all the best 

things right in front of us. I was 

frightened, pity and sorrowful, but 

more importantly, I felt that I was 

existing in this life. In fact, the sun 

always shines after the storm. We 

are the same. What would you do 

after your house was collapsed by the 

storm? You would surely reconstruct 

a new house, which was big or small, 

but more stable with fewer budgets. 

At present, I'm at the lowest stage of 

92 


my business compared to previous years. I like a free 

lifestyle with fewer principles. I want to spend time 

on what really makes my life more meaningful even 

though it is a simple thing. 

Zen means meditation. What have you transformed Zen 

style into the spaces of Zen Spa? 

Zen style in the däcor of Zen Spa is the intended 

setting and combination of simple items such as 

plants, flowers and popular smells. Many items were 

collected during my journeys while the others were 

designed and made by myself with suitable materials. 

Our visitors often relax and spend more time at Zen 

Spa drinking a cup of tea and looking at our spaces, 

which make them feel homey and peaceful. 

For me, a beautiful house should be decorated with 

simple and distinctive furniture. It does not always 

need expensive things. Any material, even when it is 

old, that is reused and placed in a suitable location, 

can bring its own value and make the house livelier 

and more charming. 

Many international visitors find Zen Spa on the world's 

prestigious websites such as Lonely Planet, Destination 

and NHK TV - Japan. What do you think about this? 

Many international magazines wrote about Zen Spa 

that has drawn the attention of many international 

visitors in Vietnam. I remember there were two 

Dutch tourists, Martine and Hyrthe, who shared on 

Happinez magazine: "We had fantastic experiences 

at Zen Spa after trying its lotus flower therapy. We 

were totally relaxed". These positive feedbacks bring 

me more inspiration for creation. Currently, I choose 

to partnership with hotels and resorts by consulting 

for them to develop Zen spas in order to provide the 

balances and relaxed therapies for their guests. 

Thank you very much for your sharing. We wish you a 

good health and peace. 

Zen sPa 

Zen Spa was opened in 2003 with its aim of a peaceful and relaxed lifestyle that 

is nature-friendly. Beauty care products and therapies used at Zen Spa include 

medicinal plants, herbs, and Vietnamese traditional medicines, along with The Five 

Elements service. 

2003: Opening Zen Spa at Thang Loi hotel, Tay Ho, Hanoi. 

2006: Opening Zen Spa Hoian Hotel and Zen Spa Hoian Beach Resort.

Association. 

2010: Designing consultancy to a large spa in Danang. 

2011: A new Zen Spa at 100 Xuan Dieu, Tay Ho, Hanoi. 

2014: Zen House made its debut at 209 An Duong Vuong, Phu Thuong, Tay Hoz 

2015 until now: Zen Spa with its only one address at 164 Tu Hoa, Quang An, Tay 

Ho, Hanoi. Mrs. Lan Huong, the founder of Zen Spa is now a consultant and 

developer of Zen spas for many hotels and resorts.

Ulan-Ude is 

well-known 

for a large 

and highly 

unusual statue 

of the head of 

Vladimir Lenin.

WOrLD 

The Trans-Siberian 

Railway, which 

commemorated its 

100 th anniversary last 

year, is undoubtedly 

one of the world's 

greatest railway 

journeys. I had a 

chance to witness 

the life on carriages 

and different sights 

off-track at its stops 

along the way. 


I prefered discovering Trans-Siberian as Russians do and it seemed 

more natural to me to travel from east to west. 

My mother used to tell 

me a story about her 

student life, when 

she was assigned to 

study in Albania. At that time, she 

had to travel to the remote land of 

Albania by road passing through 

China, Mongolia and Russia, which 

was of course at the time known as 

the Soviet Union. She took a train 

for the first time in her life alongon 

a route that was part of the longest 

railway in the world named the 

Trans-Siberian Railway. Images of 

verdant taiga forests and immense 

Baikal lake along that route are still 

in her mind until now. She also told 

me of Russian girls putting on red 

boots filled with white snow and large 

grasslands expanding to the horizon 

in Mongolia. Though not mine, there 

were my first memories of the Trans- 

Siberian railway. 

After crossing Siberia, the Trans- 

Siberian route divides into three 

different routes: the Trans-Siberian 

Route, the Trans-Mongolian Route 

and the Trans-Manchurian Route 

(China). Most tourists take the 

Trans-Siberian route from May to 

November asit gets extremely cold 

in winter. 

On the longest route, the Trans- 

Siberian Route, most of passengers 

will start from Moscow, which has 

been seen as a classic route, and then 

go from the west to the east of Russia 

to Vladivostok. To make your journey 

more exciting, plan to get off the train 

at some stopovers to explore different 

landscapes because you can stop at 

any station along the route. 

Across 5000km from 

the East to the West 

I decided to start my Trans-Siberian 

journey going in the opposite 

direction, from the east to the west. 

I had some reasons for that. Firstly, 

I would not finish the route to 

Moscow, where I used to live for a 

long time because I wanted to spend

my time at other destinations that 

I had never been to. In addition, I 

prefered seeing the Trans-Siberian 

rail as Russians do and so it seemed 

more natural to me to travel from 

east to west. Vladivostok was a perfect 

place to start my experience instead 

of the crowded city of Moscow. 

And my journey 

began... 

Vladivostok is definitely unlike what 

you may imagine about Siberia. 

With its location near the east pole 

by the Pacific Ocean and featuring a 

hill terrain, this small city showcases 

a large number of right-hand drive 

cars and Japanese electronics. It 

has both a port and fleet of vessels 

occupying it. If you go around the 

city, you will see so many tourists, 

Korean, Japanese and Chinese 

traders and Asian locals that you 

will be able to feel a part of a multiethnic 

Russia when you start your 

journey from the East. 

I got on the train at nearly midnight 

after two days wandering 

around the downtown and outskirts 

of Vladivostok. The train started as 

scheduled and we passengers started 

to fall into sleep. 

The Trans-Siberian is certainly no 

tourist train, neither in the past 

nor now. Tsar Alexander III fully 

understood the importance of uniting 

the huge Russian continent when he 

ordered work on the Trans-Siberian 

to commence in 1891. Since it 

linked Russia from the European 

side to other regions in the east, 

the new railway would open up vast 

tracts of mineral-rich land beyond 

the Urals, provide a convenient 

way to ship convicts off to Siberia 

and enable the swift movement of 

troops to the Amur region which 

was under increasing threat from 

the Chinese. This Trans-Siberian 

railway panorama exhibited at the 

Paris exposition in 1900 surprised 

audiences from all over the world. 


At every stopover of Trans-Siberian, we bumped up against 

life in the middle of nowhere in Siberia, and then, in an 

instant, left it behind again. 

The train is usually booked 

solid and provides a vital 

service for Russians, 

Mongolians and Chinese 

who can't afford a 

plane or who need to transport large 

quantities of luggage. Each passenger 

has a different demand but I always 

choose the cheapest ticket. It is not for 

saving money but rather it is the most 

interesting carriage as it allows one to 

feel and explore the real life of locals 

and converse with them. 

In the Russian train system, 

inexpensive and open carriages are 

called platskart. Each platskart carriage 

is composed of 40 berths. Passengers 

on platskart often talk about their 

stories, games, foods and drinks. 

Although this shared carriage cannot 

bring you much privacy, it is where 

you can experience the most original 

local culture. 

One hundred years ago, when the 

first through trains started running all 

the way to Vladivostok, the brochures 

depicted marble baths, gymnasiums 

and even a darkroom for developing 

photographs! The reality was different: 

breakdowns, no restaurant cars 

and frequent broken rails. Today 

the conditions are somewhat 

better. Although it does not have a 

bathroom, its restroom is always kept 

clean even when it is used by a large 

number of passengers. Each carriage 

is equipped with a big samovar of 

boiled water for passengers to make 

tea or instant noodles. You can buy 

instant noodles or some snacks, 

tea and coffee in each carriage. In 

addition, you can order foods at some 

carriages with a restaurant. Most of 

the Russians I met who were using 

the Trans-Siberian railway were 

familiar to this means. They often 

bring foods and other necessaritties 

for their journey. 

I woke up early since I felt the 

darkness was slowly being wiped 

away. The moment that I was 

lying on the train and viewing the 

sun rising from the window was 

fantastic. The world outside was dyed 

in a pinky purple color and then 

turned into orange. The sun shined 

through thick dew as clouds floating 

at the horizon creating miraculous 

sceneries. The train stopped at many 

stations along the way. Sometimes, it 

stopped for 10 - 15 - 20 minutes, just 

enough for us to walk around and buy 

some foods from kiosks. 

At every stopover of Trans - Siberian, 

we bumped up against life in the 

middle of nowhere in Siberia, and then, 

in an instant, left it behind again. 

Impressive picture out 

of the window 

I woke up late to find a brilliantly 

sunny day on the other day. It was 

the bright sunshine and the noise 

of little children that woke me up. 

I looked around my carriage and 

realized that most of passengers 

here went with an average of two 

children. The kids always surrounded 

and talked to me. Sometimes, they 

peeped at me because they rarely 

saw a foreigner, who could speak 

Russian. Surprisingly, these kids 

seemed to be very used to getting 

on the train and independent about 

related activities. They definitelly did 

not worry other passengers. 

UNIQUE RAILWAY 

The Trans-Siberian railway is the most impressive railway of the world and boasts 

numerous remarkable highlights: 

> Russia is the biggest country of the world with a cover area that doubles the USA. 

> The total route of Trans-Siberian is 9,289km running between Moscow and 

Vladivostok making it one of the world's longest railways. If you travel non-stop, it 

will take you about 146 hours that are 6 days and 6 nights to travel through Siberia 

in Russia. 

> Siberia has more than 30% of all the green trees in the world 

> Baikal lake along the Trans-Siberian route is the world's deepest, oldest and largest 

freshwater lake, containing 20% of the world's total fresh water.

Green 

grasslands 

with brave 

wild horses. 

The train was rattling along. The 

scenery out of the window was more 

and more appealing. We passed 

by immense grasslands, cold taiga 

forests and brilliant birch trees. By 

the curves of rivers appeared small 

and big villages dotted with little 

wooden huts, each with a wisp of 

smoke curling up from the chimney 

along the sunny green rolling hills 

as if it was taken out from fairy 

tales. In addition to that, numerous 

wild plants blossomed in the warm 

summer of Siberia. It was as if you 

were watching a film in slow motion. 

I totally lost the feeling of time on 

the Trans-Siberian railway. Each 

day, when you woke up, I would 

think "where am I and what time 

is it now?". You quickly change the 

time on your smartphone, watch 

or filming devices nearly everyday! 

Yes, I was traveling on the longest 

railway journey and we had crossed 

seven time zones, across the width 

of the world's biggest country, which 

expands through 10 time-belts. It 

seemed to be crazy but fabulous! 

Tibetan 

Buddhist 

stupas and 

pagodas. 


The endless blue background of Baikal lake 

Indulge in Baikal lake 

- the gem of Siberia 

Just to make things less confusing, all 

Trans-Siberian trains run to Moscow 

time. After nearly three days, or 62 

hours, I arrived at my first stop: Ulan- 

Ude, the capital city of the Republic of 

Buryatia, Russia. At this time, it seemed 

that my hair had turned to straw after 

many days without being washed. 

Ulan-Ude is well-known 

for a large and highly 

unusual statue of the head 

of Vladimir Lenin in the 

central square: the largest in the world. 

The Republic of Buryatia is like a small 

Mongolia with local people sharing the 

same culture and blood of Mongolians, 

green grasslands spreading through 

many hills, and brave wild horses 

accentuating the scene. This is also the 

center of Shamanism and the Buddhism 

center of Russia with Tibetan Buddhist 

stupas and pagodas in abbundance. 

Saying a farewell to Ulan-Ude and its 

neighboring villages, I continued the 

next leg of my journeyto Irkutsk, the 

most important stopover of this railway. 

Irkutsk is 448km from Ulan-Ude. 

The most interesting experience of 

passengers at this leg is a chance to view 

Baikal lake through the car windows. The 

train ran a long way around the southern 

bank of the lake. Baikal lake is so large 

that it takes a few hours to get through 

this leg of the trip and I felt like I was 

moving along the seashore most of the 

time. 

I stopped at Irkutsk to travel to Olkhon, 

the fourth-largest lake-bound island 

in the world to experience Baikal lake. 

To conjure up the island in your mind, 

let's imagine a region that has a larger 

cover area than Singapore in the middle 

of Baikal lake. I put up a tent to stay 

overnight under the cliff by the lake 

in order to witness the sunrise on the 

following morning. Amidst the sound of 

waves and birds singing to greet a new 

day, I washed my face with the freezing 

and crystal water of the lake. The lake's 

water is so pure that you can drink 

directly without boiling or filtering it. 

To me, Olkhon is like a small picture of 

Siberia. The island is embellished with 

taiga primeval forests, which provide 

shelter to wild animals, spacious green 

grasslands as in Mongolia, and sand 

dunes like the deserts or cliffs in the 

endless blue background of Baikal lake.

VIsA 

ñ It is not difficult to apply for a 

visa to Russia but it may take a 

longer time the normal. You will 

have to submit all documents 

at least a month before your 

journey because they will 

approve your documents within 

20 working days. Documents to 

submit to the consulate include 

an Invitation Letter (done by a 

Russian agent at $50/person), 

schedule, ticket booking, 

accommodation and standard 

insurance. Papers related to 

finance are not strictly required 

as visas to western European 

countries. Tourist visas are 

normally valid for a month. 

ñ If you travel in groups, you are 

advised to call to the consulate 

and book a date. If not, you 

should go as early as possible. 

Since it's not difficult to be 

approved, you can go to the 

bank to transfer the visa fee 

before you submit. This will 

help you to save time. Your 

documents will be processed 

right after that. 

TRANsPoRTATIoN 

ñ Air tickets: You should plan 

your journey early to book air 

tickets in advanced. Sometimes, 

Vietnam Airlines and Aeroflot 

offer cheap prices at $500-$600 

for return tickets between 

Hanoi and Moscow. Return 

tickets between Hanoi and 

Vladivostok are about $500/ 

ticket offered by S7 airlines. 

ñ Train tickets: You should 

book train tickets as early as 

possible, especially in the high 

season. You can visit www.rzd. 

ru to book online. Because it is 

a Russian website, you should 

know Russian or ask someone 

who can speak Russian to help 

booking. You can also book 

tickets at tourist agents or 

middle websites with an extra 

service charge. In addition, you 

can buy tickets directly at the 

train station in Russia, but you 

will have less chance to get a 

good seat. 

ñ Moscow - Vladivostok train 

tickets will range from $1,130/ 

ticket for the first kupe class 

(two berths) and $480/ticket 

for the second kupe class (four 

berths) and $265/ticket for 

platskart class. 

ACCommodATIoN 

FURTHER INFORMATION 

ñ Apart from nights sleeping 

on the train, you can book 

a room among an array of 

hostels, homestays and wellappointed 

hotels in Russian 

cities. Room prices are posted 

on international booking 

pages except for remote 

areas. Russians often book 

for accommodation on some 

websites such as Booking.com. 

After the econimic crisis, the 

accommodation price in Russia 

went down and brought many 

more options to tourists. Each 

double room is often priced 

from $20/night. 

ñ Average expense: In addition 

to train and air tickets, the 

average expense of every visitor 

ranges about $30 - $50/day. 

BEsT TImE To TRAVEL 

ñ The best time to travel here is 

from May to September. During 

the winter, the temperate 

may be -40 degree Celcius. 

However, some tourists prefer 

going this time to witness the 

beauty of frozen Baikal lake. 

WHERE To sToP? 

ñ Irkutsk city and then Baikal 

lake are must-see sights. 

Depending on your time and 

demand, you can stop at other 

big cities along the way and 

then go to off-track destinations 

if you like. 

WHAT To BRING? 

ñ You should prepare before 

the journey or buy along the 

route some snacks such as 

cheese, biscuits, instant noodles, 

fruits, tea and coffee bags. 

Vodka is not sold at stations but 

Russian passengers will know 

where to buy it! 

ñ For your hygiene, you are 

advised to bring wet tissues, 

a small cup and bath towel 

because they are not available 

on trains,there are only bath 

tubs and flush toilet. Bathrooms 

are only available on the first 

class carriages of the Trans- 

Mongolian Express. 

ñ Bring a book, ipad or any 

device that can help to fill up 

your free hours on the train. 

ñ It's wise to prepare cash 

because you can't use your 

credit card everywhere, 

for instant, buying foods at 

roadside kiosks. 

sPECIAL NoTICE 

ñ Before you get off the train 

at stopovers, you should ask 

about the break duration at that 

station. The train will not wait 

for you before it continues the 

journey. There are always some 

tourists left behind. 

TO ME, SIbERIA IS SO VAST THAT I 

CANNOT DISCOVER ENOUGH Of IT, EVEN 

IN MY wHOLE LIfE. 

lAst leg of the journey 

My Trans-Siberian journey finished at 

Novosibirsk city, about 1,855km from 

Irkutsk, or a day and a half by train. This 

was the third largest city of Russia and the 

biggest center of science and industry of 

Siberia. From this city, I had to take another 

railway heading to the south of Siberia to 

continue my long journey. 

To me, Siberia is so vast that I cannot 

discover enough of it, even in my whole 

life. On the Trans-Siberian railway, you 

will see that Siberia is not only about taiga 

forests and the extreme coldness as you 

might imagine. I believe that for anyone, 

who ever steps on this endless train will 

find their own Siberia. 

Trains rattling through Siberian wild lands 

have been operating day and night along the 

key railways between the east and the west 

for more than 100 years to serve nessessary 

transportation demand of Russians.

PEOPLE WOULD SURELY THINK OF JIUZHAIGOU OF SICHUAN PROVINCE. 

BUT IF YOU EVER VISITED XINJIANG, THE LANDSCAPE OF THE MOST WELL-KNOWN ROUTE OF 

THE HISTORICAL SILK ROAD, YOU WOULD SEE THAT JIUZHAIGOU PALES IN 

COMPARISON TO AN EVEN A BETTER PARADISE.

secret landscape of Xinjiang is 

slowly revealed to many tourists 

through its stories of a free 

nomadic lifestyle, miraculous 

turquoise lakes and white 

mountain ranges capped with 

snow all year round. In addition, 

seasonal color changes embellish 

the landscapefor a perfect 

wonderland on earth. 

Xinjiang, an autonomous region 

of China, has a unique terrain which is formed by three mountains, 

Kunlun Mountain, Pamir Mountain and Tianshan Mountain. In the 

7 th century, Chinese Buddhist monk, Chen Xuanzang stopped at this 

region for a period of time before he overcame dangerous snowy 

mountains for his mission to Tianzhu (an ancient Chinese name for 

India) to bring a set of Buddhist scriptures back to China. Before that 

time, when Guangwudi of the Han dynasty ruled the land west up to 

the border of modern Afghanistan, the Silk Road was improved and 

enlarged. Xinjiang became a crowded trading crossroads to exchange 

local specialties from all over the world. 

Landscape of Uyghur people 

The north of Tianshan Mountain is entirely settled by the Uyghur 

people and some other ethnic groups. In history, "Uyghur" was used 

to talk about ethnic groups that spoke Turkish as their language in 

the Altay mountain range. Although Xinjiang and Turkey are two 

different regions, Uyghur and Turkish people share similar language 

and culture because they were both originated from Turkic groups. 

Visitors often start their journey at the gateway of Xinjiang, Urumqi 

capital city, also known as the "land farthest from the sea". This city, 

which is the home of different ethnic groups, including Han, Uyghur, 

Hui and Kazakhs, enchants tourists with its crowded atmosphere 

provided by a large number of traders who crowd the city just as they 

2000 years ago. 

Uyghur ethnic people account for about 45% of the total population 

of Xinjiang with diverse appearances. Some people are short with 

dark skin, black hair and small eyes while some others are tall with 

fair skin, colored eyes, straight noses and blonde or brown hair. These 

are results of the Arabian, Roman, Greek and Persian residents on 

the Silk Road from over a thousand years. It's the historic cultural 

mälange that has formed the colorful and original culture of the 

Uyghur people with Turkish-Central Asian dances and traditional 

dances of the modern Han. Uyghur people used to be a battle-tested, 

brave and strong army mastering skills of riding horses and using 

bows as Mongolians.

Diverse and multi-colored culture 

in Chinese means "a new 

border"and it has had its name 

since the 18 th century during the 

Qing dynasty. This region features 

a complex terrain which is formed 

by the green grasslands of Mongol 

scattered with the nomadic tents 

of local people. This land has the appearance of Central Asia with 

vestiges of ancient citadels, there aresigns of Europe with sparkling 

color carpets and a presence of Middle East made by solemn mosques. 

Xinjiang wears a new coat every season. Spring is beautified with peach 

and plum blossoms while summer is dyed with the purple color of 

aromatic lavender flowers in Ili (a prefecture of Xinjiang), and yellow 

sunflowers and sugar-beet flowers in the sunshine. Tarim river is 

picturesque in autumn and astounds guests while yellow and red leaf 

carpets are reflected in turquoise lakes. The breathtaking scenery is 

shown in magnificent colors, the beauty of which no painter can express 

sufficiently in their work. 

Meanwhile, the winter in Xinjiang astonishes visitors with images 

of cattle shriveled up next to warm cloth tents at the foot of mighty 

snowy mountains. Xinjiang is mysterious and pristine due to not only 

its natural colors of plants, lakes and immense snowy mountains, but 

also outstanding tectonic lands that were written into legends. Here 

and there, mounds of different heights and many ancient castles of the 

Middle Ages draw ones imagination about the appearance of the "devil". 

Legend has it that these castles were formed by dry climate and sand 

storms. Strong winds carved shapes of stone and made them look like 

imposing palaces in the desert or a big ship overcoming high waves. 

However, some stones were shaped as disgusting faces of devils. 

In modern days, although Xinjiang is an outback landscape that is 

strictly controlled by Chinese government, it can't stop tourists flocking 

to this destination to unlock a true paradise on earth. 


XINJIANG IS MYSTERIOUS AND PRISTINE DUE TO NOT ONLY 

ITS NATURAL COLORS OF PLANTS, LAKES AND IMMENSE SNOWY MOUNTAINS, 

BUT ALSO OUTSTANDING TECTONIC LANDS THAT WERE WRITTEN INTO LEGENDS.

Further information 

Itinerary 

ñ Visitors often start their journey at Urumqi capital 

city to discover Xinjiang. You can fly from Vietnam 

to Xinjiang with a transit at big Chinese cities such as 

Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu and Guangzhou. You can 

book a ticket of China Southern Airlines, China Eastern 

Airlines, China Air or some routes connected with 

Vietnam Airlines. Return tickets range 12-20 million 

VND. 

ñ Another way to Urumqi is by car to experience 

Karakoram street. Guests will travel by local bus from 

Rawalpindi city of Pakistan to Kashgar of Xinjiang, a 

route of 1,300km. 

TRANSPORTATION 

You can rent a car and discuss your itinerary with the 

driver to visit famous attractions in Xinjiang. Since this 

region is insecure, drivers will help you to register at 

some checkpoints along the way. This will help to save 

your time. With a rented car, you can stop at different 

beautiful sights. 

Activities 

Since Xinjiang is an autonomous region covering a large 

area of the country, visitors will not be able to discover 

enough of it within two weeks. If you love natural sights, 

you can visit the north of Xinjiang. If you would like 

to discover historical vestiges with Silk Road, you are 

advised to go to the south of Xinjiang to the spacious 

deserts. 

Accommodation 

In order to ensure the safety of foreign tourists, 

Xinjiang government only allows some hotels to serve 

international guests. You should collect information 

before you book a room or you can ask your local 

driver to help. Hotels in Urumqi and other urban areas 

are often strictly controlled by securities. A double 

room at 2-3 start hotels in Xinjiang is priced from 

VND450,000 - VND600,000. You can book a tent or 

homestay at from VND150,000 - 200,000/person. 

Food 

The food in Xinjiang is spicier than 

other dishes served in mainland 

Chinese. They often use round 

baguettes, lamb and goat meat instead 

of rice in their daily meals. You 

can easily see a Chinese restaurant 

around Xinjiang. Fruits such as apples, 

pears, plums, peaches, grapes and 

pomegranate are also specialties of 

Xinjiang. 

Climate 

Terrain in Xinjiang is quite complex 

with permanent snowy mountains in 

the north that brings cold weather to 

the whole area. Some streets are even 

filled with ice during the summer. In 

the south, the climate is so dry and 

hot in summer that the temperature 

may reach 45 degree Celsius. The best 

time to visit Xinjiang is in autumn or 

spring, when it is cool and the nature 

is embellished with colorful carpets of 

flowers and ginkgoes. 

Security 

Although Xinjiang is considered as 

an insecure autonomous region of 

China, it is still safe enough for foreign 

tourists. The Chinese government has 

checkpoints everywhere, especially 

in crowded areas such as markets, 

airports, tourist sights and highway 

systems.

culture 

the AnCestrAL trAditiOn 

OF indigO dYeing And 

BAtik With the 

HAVE BEEN LIVING IN SAPA, VIETNAM FOR OVER 300 YEARS, THE H'MONG ARE 

THE LARGEST ETHNIC GROUP IN SAPA AND MAKE UP JUST OVER HALF OF THE 

POPULATION. PHOTOGRAPHER R–HAHN VISITED A H'MONG GROUP IN PA CO, 

A VILLAGE LOCATED IN HOA BINH PROVINCE, WHERE HE DISCOVERED THE 

ANCESTRAL TRADITION OF INDIGO DYEING AND BATIK. 


I used to wonder why 

H'mong women had blue hands. 

Now I know it's because they 

have been stained permanently 

by the indigo dye. 

In Pa Co, he met Sung Y Xia, a 39 year 

old woman who practices the art of 

indigo dyeing and batik drawing. She 

has been practicing the batik style since 

the young age of fifteen and has become 

an expert in her trade, despite being 

younger than most batik masters. 

H'Mong women, like Sung Y Xia, 

can make dye from the indigo plant 

to produce the distinctive dark blue 

colored fabric that is typical of the ethnic 

minorities of Sapa. Historically, this 

blue dye was used by the H'Mong to dye 

their clothes and to make coats for their 

children to wear, which they would be 

pass down for generations. 

Today many locals in Pa Co make 

the beautiful blue tinted fabric to 

sell to be used in products in Hanoi 

and other areas of Vietnam and the 

practice represents greater financial 

opportunities for these ethnic groups. 

Indigo dye can be extracted from several 

plants, but because the indigo plant is 

more widely available, it is therefore 

more commonly used. Over three 

hundred different species have been 

identified but the Indigo tinctoria and I. 

suifruticosa are the most common and 

belong to the legume family. 

134 


The 

indigo plants of the H'Mong are grown 

and harvested on the hillsides next to 

their homes and when fermented and 

oxidized, a blue dye can be made from its leaves. Making 

good quality indigo dye requires a lot of experience, quality 

ingredients and time and the whole process can take as 

long as ten days to one month to complete. 

To make the dye, leaves from the indigo tree are harvested 

and soaked for three days in a container with water from 

a clean stream. The leaves are then removed and the 

colored water is kept and lime is added. This liquid is 

stirred gently until a green/yellow layer appears on its 

surface, which usually takes a few hours. Once the liquids 

sediment has settled at the bottom of the barrel, ash from 

good quality wood, rice soup, water and alcohol are added 

to the mixture. The liquid must be mixed for four to five 

days until bubbles appear. These bubbles are a sign of a 

successful Batik dye making process. 

Once the dye has been prepared the Batik master can 

use beeswax and special tools to draw patterns and 

designs into hemp fabric, a process that can take one to 

two months. The hemp material is covered in beeswax 

and tools are used to remove the beeswax from the cloth 

in patterns or designs. The fabric is then soaked in the 

Batik dye and left to dry in the sun. The beeswax acts as a 

protective layer when the fabric is dyed and only the areas 

on which it has been scraped away take the color of the 

Batik dye. This process can be repeated many times to 

create beautiful and complex multicolored designs. The 

more a fabric is mixed with the dye and the more it is 

worked on, the darker it becomes. 

Black H'Mong fabrics are achieved by repeating the dying 

process repeatedly, usually twice a day for a month. This 

process is the reason why many H'Mong women have 

blue hands, because they have been stained permanently 

by the indigo dye.
