Just 92 km from Nha Trang, Dai Lanh is a district that can be easily accessed by car.

You will be amazed by how delicious and inexpensive the local hotpot is. There are so many types of hotpot that you will never get bored of eating cuttlefish all day long. The price is also surprisingly cheap.

There are several types of cuttlefish in Dai Lanh, but people only use certain types to make the hotpot. Cuttlefish must be fresh when cooking this dish; they must have a good size and special flavor. Because all the ingredients are chosen for their particular qualities, every hotpot is distinctively delicious.

2015-08-02T02:18:00.001-07:00

Mui Ne Sand Dune was an old iron mine formed hundreds of years ago, spreading over an area of 50ha. The sand in Mui Ne has many colors such as yellow, white, gray, ivory, pink, red, black... Mui Ne Sand Dune is also known as the Flying Sand Dune because the sand dune’s shape changes every hour. This is the result of winding and eroding the thin upper sand layer. Mui Ne Sand Dune is the infinite source for many artists and professional photographers to capture stunning images of sand.

In order to develop Mui Ne tourism, Binh Thuan Province licensed to construct golf courses and resorts at the same time plan trees in the sand dune to create beautiful landscapes and contribute to reducing mobility of sand.

Special Vietnam travel : Thrilling birding tour and more

2015-06-02T23:07:00.000-07:00

These days, thousands of birds and storks are flocking to Vam Sat Ecological Tourist Centre, making this natural site amidst Can Gio mangrove forests more exciting. The mangrove forests in Can Gio have been recognized by UNESCO as the world’s biosphere reserve.

The Vam Sat bird sanctuary, 50 kilometers from Ho Chi Minh City, covers 602.5 hectares, including the core area of 162.2 hectares and the buffer zone of 476.3 hectares. A majority of the trees are species growing on the higher land of the mangrove forests. The large buffer zone is an ideal venue for the development of birds in the future. To the north of the bird sanctuary are a 199-hectare natural forest and shrimp breeding farms.

Vam Sat is home to 26 bird species, including 11 waterfowl species. Storks and night herons build their nests on thorny trees so that their “houses” will be safe from snakes and monkeys.

Birds often lay eggs in the rainy season, from May to October. But this year, they have flocked there since April. Young birds live on diverse food provided by the vast swamp land criss-crossed with rivulets and canals and surrounding shrimp farms.

Aside from the bird sanctuary, Vam Sat has a bat swamp which is in fact a bat shelter. Local tour guides will row small boats gently and lead guests across tranquilly bushy mangrove forests. These forests are home to thousands of fruit bats whose wingspans are sometimes one meter wide. These bats live in the nature amidst the swamp embraced by mangrove forests. Tourists can take a sampan to weave through the forests to watch the huge bats, which can be found in Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia and Laos.

Adventurous visitors can take part in crocodile angling in Vam Sat Ecological Tourist Centre where some 40 crocodiles are raised. Travelers can also learn about habits of this large aquatic reptile. They can as well take part in the interesting game of “boating and crocodile angling.” Composite boats are equipped with hollow compartments to keep balance, and are well protected with steel nets. Staff members will help tourists hook the bait to the fishing rod. Tourists can stand on the boat to feed ferocious crocodiles.

Making sea salt with local farmers is another activity entertaining vacationers who want to have hands-on experience of salt production. Don’t forget to plant a mangrove tree in the forests for the environmental protection campaign. A large number of international visitors, especially young Japanese, together with Vietnamese students have taken part in planting green trees for the mangrove forests which are called the “green lungs” of HCMC.

Those who stay overnight at the center can join a trip in which they learn how to catch freshwater crabs in the river.

2015-06-02T22:34:00.003-07:00

Ha Giang Province to host buckwheat flower festival

The northernmost province of Ha Giang will hold the first ever Tam giac mach (buckwheat) flower festival in early October, when the plant fully blooms.
Buckwheat (scientifically known as Fagopyrum Esculentum) is a plant with clusters of small pinkish white flowers and edible triangular seeds.

H’Mong ethnic residents grow two crops of Tam giac mach every year, as it also blooms between April and May. The flowers are sensitive to sunlight, turning from white in the early morning to pink in the afternoon.

Buckwheat creates striking sights when blossoming, making it a tourist draw in Ha Giang, as well as neighbouring mountainous areas such as Lao Cai Province.

The provincial Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism will organise the festival in Dong Van district, as instructed by the Ha Giang People’s Committee.

Various activities will be held as part of the event such as a H’Mong panpipe festival, a tourism fair and a photo exhibition about the Dong Van Karst Plateau, which was recently recognised as a member of the Global Network of National Geoparks for the 2015-2018 period.

Vietnam travel: Dak Lak Museum of Ethnology

2015-05-04T19:25:00.003-07:00

Dak Lak Museum of Ethnology is a place that should not be missed if you visit the Central Highlands.

This museum preserves and presents the culture quintessence of ethnic minorities in the Central Highlands. It has more than 10,000 objects and receives about 100,000 visitors a year, one third of whom are foreigners.

Dak Lak Museum of Ethnology is located in the center of Buon Ma Thuot city. It was built on the grounds of the former residence of King Bao Dai, the last emperor of Vietnam, nearly 100 years ago.

The main building of the museum has a simple architectural style but reflects the cultural identity of the Central Highlands.

Surrounded by a shady garden, the museum looks like a Rong- a communal stilt house- or the long traditional house of the Ede. From afar, it looks like the traditional house of the M'Nong.

Formerly called the "Dak Lak traditional house", it was officially renamed "Dak Lak Museum of Ethnology" in 1990 and renovated in 2008.

It has three main sections featuring three different themes: the revolutionary traditions, natural features, and cultural characteristics of the ethnic minorities of the Central Highlands.

The cultural space displays 520 objects representing cultural peculiarities of ethnic minorities like the Ede, M'Nong and Jarai. Installations and audiovisual gears introduce customs, festivals, and daily activities of local ethnic groups.

Nguyen Trong Hieu, a tourist from Hanoi said “This museum presents the culture of the Central Highlands. Visiting this museum, help me understand the life and culture of local ethnic minorities”

The museum has attracted many researchers and students who are passionate about the culture of Tay Nguyen.

Nguyen Thi Nguyet, a teacher at Luong The Vinh college in Buon Ma Thuot, said she often brings her students to the museum.

The museum provides the students with useful knowledge about the history and culture of Dak Lak and Tay Nguyen, she added.

Every weekend, the museum invites artisans to show visitors the various traditional crafts of Tay Nguyen or reproduce traditional festivals of an ethnic group.

Luong Thanh Son, Director of the museum, said “Each object and each document in the museum tells a story, not just about the past but one that also reveals the future. By organizing these activities, we want to help local people preserve and promote their traditional occupations.”

The museum has contributed to educating the younger generation and promoting cultural and historical values of their ancestors. The museum now has 10 books recording visitors’ impressions on the museum and its heritages.

Vietnam tourism: Ba Mun Island - green pearl in Bai Tu Long Bay

2014-09-29T01:18:00.002-07:00

Located in Bai Tu Long Bay in the northeastern province of Quang Ninh, Ba Mun Island is one of the largest and most beautiful clusters of isles with the greatest abundance of flora in Bai Tu Long National Park.

Ba Mun island

It is also an extremely interesting destination for those who love adventure and nature. It takes only 45 minutes on a high-speed boat from Cai Rong wharf in Van Don district to Ba Mun Island. The first impression tourists have when arriving at the island is pristine natural landscape with green forests embraced entirely by blue sea.

The east of the island (known locally as the “exterior”) is pummeled by strong waves with water spray launching tens of metres high, while the west (the “interior”) features tranquil scenery and calm water that ripples against the side of boats. Ba Mun covers an area of about 1,800 hectares with diverse flora and fauna including rare and valuable species. The most prominent plants are Tram Do (Syzygium zeylanicum), as well as Lim (Erythrophleum fordii), Sen (Madhuca pasquieri) and Tau (Vatica fleuryana Tardieu).

There are diverse rare flora species in Ba Mun forest

It is notable that the Lan hai orchid (Cypripedioideae), which was mistakenly thought to be extinct a few years ago, still exists here. At present, this orchid species is found only in Lao Cai and Ba Mun. Ba Mun has several rare species of animals, including the golden deer, which is still quite populous and the only population in northeast Vietnam. Golden deer often search for food at night. Therefore, it is hard to spot them during the day but visitors can see their footprints.

There are a lot of other species of animals such as antelope, monkeys, langurs and more, as well as sea and migratory birds. With its diverse fauna, Ba Mun Island is the largest wild animal reserve in the southeast region. For this reason, locals often call it “ Animal Island”.

On Ba Mun Island, there are seven large streams with unique names such as O Lon To (big pigsty) and O Lon Con (small pigsty), as well as Mieu Danh, Van Lau, Cao Lo streams, and Che flume. The water runs all year round and is very clean thanks to large coverage of the forest. This is a valuable source of fresh water amidst the vast sea.

Travelling to Ba Mun, tourists can explore on their own, following some natural trails on the island or patrol routes serving forest management. It takes at least 3 days to complete a tour of Ba Mun Island and 5 hours if going around the island by motorboat. The island has a wildlife rescue centre belonging to the Bai Tu Long National Park. Tourists can contact the centre in case they need any support.

Vietnam tourism: Vietnam cuisine under a review of foreigners

2014-09-29T01:11:00.003-07:00

Restaurants serving Vietnamese food fall into two broad categories: fluorescent-lit canteens with plastic chairs and minimal decoration, and dining rooms with tablecloths and incandescent lighting, often set in restored French villas with an Indochine aura. In years past it was hard to find great Vietnamese cuisine at upscale establishments. But lately, a new breed of restaurant—one that brings together tasteful interiors, smooth service, and exceptional cooking—is catering to the country's growing middle class.

Wild Rice restaurant

Wild Rice, which opened last year in Hanoi, breaks the colonial-villa mold with its spare, modern interior, spotlighted rock gardens, and contemporary art. And the yogurt-marinated roast chicken and papaya salad with prawns are as authentic as any local kitchen's. In Ho Chi Minh City, similar culinary prowess can be found at the 10-month-old Nam Phan, housed in a gorgeous beige-and-sand-toned mansion. Tropical gardens and a cool Californian vibe make it popular with well-heeled saigonnais. When I dropped in at 9 p.m. on a Tuesday, I was asked whether I had a reservation. A reservation? Two years ago the word didn't exist here.

Quan Com Ngon restaurant

Quan Com Ngon opened last December and has quickly become H.C.M.C.'s top Vietnamese kitchen. Its menu goes far beyond the usual chicken-with-lemongrass, offering pickled pig's ear and stewed pork topped with duck eggs. The airy, four-level space is stunning: ocher and tomato-red walls, mulberry-paper lamps, garlands of jasmine. The young Vietnamese clientele—media types, models, ad execs—is just as attractive.

Quan Ta, tucked into one of H.C.M.C.'s crowded "food streets," is well off the tourist trail, but clay-tile floors, beamed ceilings, teak tables, and warm lighting lend it an air of refinient. The food is extraordinary: perfectly seasoned pumpkin blossoms fried in garlic and oil; smoky grilled eggplant that's so tender it can be cut with chopsticks.

Chic restaurants are popping up outside the cities as well. The newest arrival in Hoi An, Song Hoai, found a prime location in a two-story riverfront villa. Its kitchen does a marvelous job with Hoi An specialties such as mi quang (thick, al dente noodles in a basil-spiked broth with pork and baby prawns) and banh bao banh vat (a.k.a. "white rose," a delicious flower-shaped steamed dumpling).

At some point in your journey, though, you'll want to forgo celadon tableware and simply eat fantastic food. That's when you head for Quan Hué, the best restaurant in Hanoi. This family-run joint is all Formica tabletops and flimsy plastic chairs. It's the best place to try the comfort cuisine of Hué, particularly banh khoai (crisp rice-flour pancakes folded fajita-style around a variety of fillings: pork; shrimp; verbena, basil, and mint leaves; tangy star fruit) and cua xao mien (stir-fried vermicelli with crabmeat, ear mushrooms, scallions, and fragrant dill sprigs).

Of course, in both Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi, you can also find countless trattorias, tandoori joints, tapas bars, and teriyaki dens, along with hundreds of French bistros (whose cuisine hardly qualifies as foreign in Vietnam). A rice-weary expat could live for months on great international food—and some do. H.C.M.C.'s La Fourchette, catering to the homesick French since 1994, is the grand-père of Gallic haunts—it's even suffused with the rich aroma of butter-drenched escargots. Up market Italian cuisine draws a crowd at H.C.M.C.'s new hot spot Qucina, owned by the team behind the neighboring Q Bar. On a sexy, palm-fringed terrace in H.C.M.C., Club Camargue serves mesclun-and-goat cheese salads (the imported greens are safe to eat) and squid-filled ravioli in saffron cream sauce. At Saigon's new Designed, a hypermodern restaurant-showroom run by two Frenchmen—an architect and an engineer—an arty clientele dines on foie gras, graylag, and roulettes of rabbit. Up in Hanoi, the Press Club, an expat haunt, offers the capital's best wine list, strip steaks from Pennsylvania, Caesar salads, and some good (and laughably cheap) caviar from—no joke—China.

Even more impressive than the formal dining rooms are the cafés, patisseries, and sandwich shops that set to have been airlifted from Marseilles and San Francisco. Frenchman Stéphane Calvet has opened Maison Vanille, a bakery and salon de the that makes the prier croissants in Hanoi. In Hoi An, great pastries and rich Vietnamese coffee (with condensed milk, of course) are all the rage at the Hoi An Pâtisserie, on the river.

The Vietnamese have elevated the humble sandwich to an art form. Banh mi thit is the local take on a hero: pork sausage, pâté, ham, pickled carrots and radishes, and dried fish flakes on a warm baguette. The fast-food bakery chain Bon Banh Mi sells superb banh mi thit in locations around H.C.M.C. Two Western-style sandwiches shops—No Noodles in Hanoi and Sama Café in Ho Chi Minh—combine the best imported meats and cheeses, crustiest baguettes, freshest greens, and zestiest toppings to create the ultimate five-minute lunch.

Bohemian cafés are everywhere. Hanoi's Café Puku, run by three New Zealanders, has an East Village feel, with Beck playing on the stereo and a cappuccino machine hissing on the counter. At I-Box in Ho Chi Minh, the furnishings (velvet sofas, Kashmiri pillows, Javanese tables) are as eclectic as the playlist (Edith Piaf, bluegrass, and electro-funk) and the drinks (orange juice with milk; sour sop smoothies).

Vietnam tourism: Top 10 Tourist Attractions in Vietnam

2014-09-09T21:20:00.004-07:00

Most travelers to Vietnam are attracted by the country’s wonderful natural beauty: From the green rice fields in the north to the fascinating bustle of the Mekong Delta in the south. Vietnam however is also a country with a long history and ancient traditions. It has many historic attractions and old temples. An overview of the most amazing tourist attractions in Vietnam.

10. Nha Trang

Nha Trang is Vietnam’s most popular seaside resort town located along the second most beautiful bays in the country. It features beautiful beaches with fine and clean sand and clear ocean water with mild temperatures. The city has about 300,000 inhabitants and is more lively and urban in character than other beach destinations like Mui Ne and Phu Quoc. It’s also the scuba diving center of Vietnam.

09. Cu Chi Tunnels

The Cu Chi Tunnels are an immense network of connecting underground tunnels located about 40 km northwest of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). The tunnels were used by Viet Cong guerrillas as hiding spots during the Vietnam War, and were the base of operations for the Tết Offensive in 1968. The tunnels have become a popular tourist attraction, and visitors are invited to crawl around in the safer parts of the tunnel system.

08. Mekong River (Mekong Delta)

The Mekong Delta is the region in southern Vietnam where the Mekong River approaches and empties into the sea. It is a very rich and lush area, covered with rice fields, that produces about half of the total of Vietnam’s agricultural output. Subsequently, life in the Mekong Delta revolves much around the river, and all the villages are often accessible by river rather than by road.

07. Mui Ne

The formerly little-inhabited beach south of the fishing village of Mui Ne has seen some serious development in the last 15 years. Due to strong sea breezes it is a popular destination in Vietnam for kite- and windsurfing. No trip to Mui Ne is complete without a trip to the famous sand dunes located a short distance north of the town. The vast sandy expanse provide some great panoramic views especially during sunset.

06. Sa Pa Terraces

Sa Pa is a town in northwest Vietnam not far from the Chinese border. Rice terraces can be found in the Muong Hoa valley between Sa Pa town and the Fansipan Mountain, on a backdrop of thick bamboo woodlands. Local mountain people, the Hmong, Giay, Dao, Tay, and Giay, grow rice and corn on these paddy terraces, along with vegetables.

05. Phu Quoc

Located in front of the Cambodia coast, Phu Quoc is the largest island in Vietnam. Phu Quoc is what Phuket would be if it hadn’t been overrun by development. The island features pristine tropical forests, undamaged coral reefs and great beaches. One of its beaches, named Bai Dai (Long Beach), was chosen by the ABC News as one of five beautiful and clean beaches. Phu Quoc is famous for producing the best nuoc mam or fermented fish sauce in the world.

04. Hoi An

This fishing-village-turned-tourist-attraction is situated on the coast of the South China Sea. Hoi An has been an international port from the 16th century although the serious shipping business has long since moved to the city of Da Nang. The heart of the city is still the Old Town, full of winding lanes and Chinese-styled shops. It is sometimes called the “Venice of Vietnam” because of the narrow canals that cut through part of the town.

03. Hoan Kiem Lake (Hanoi)

Located in the historical center of Hanoi, Hoan Kiem Lake is one of the major scenic spots in the city and serves as the locals’ favorite leisure spot. Hoan Kiem means “returned sword”, and the name comes from a legend in which King Le Loi was given a magical sword by the gods, which he used to drive out the invading Chinese. Later he returned the sword to the Golden Turtle God in the lake.

02. Thien Mu Pagoda (Hue)

With seven stories, the Thien Mu Pagoda in Hue is the tallest pagoda in Vietnam. The pagoda overlooks the Perfume River and is regarded as the unofficial symbol of the former imperial capital. The temple was built in 1601 during the rule of the Nguyễn Lords. The initial temple was very simply constructed, but over time it was redeveloped and expanded with more intricate features.

01. Ha Long Bay

Ha Long Bay is situated in north Vietnam round a 120 kilometer long coast line and is literally translated as “Bay of Descending Dragons”. The top tourist attraction in Vietnam, Ha Long Bay features thousands of islands, each topped with thick jungle vegetation, forming a spectacular seascape of limestone pillars. Several of the islands are hollow, with enormous caves, others islands include lakes and some support floating villages of fishermen.

Vietnam tourism:Sunset cruise sheds different light on magical Hoi An

2014-06-29T18:37:00.000-07:00

Ancient Hoi An is probably the most popular destination in the central coastal region, but getting a view of it from the Hoai River at sunset shows how little it has changed in a thousand years.

A new tour capitalises on the river that winds through a town once one of the busiest ports in East and Southeast Asia.

The cruise is on an old fishing boat that has been modified and fitted out with cushioned seats and a bed room for overnight stays.

A small cooking area provides tasty snacks for tourists as they bask in the fading rays of the sun.

Pham Vu Dung, manager of Rose Travel Service Company, said he develops the tour for tourists who want to see all the usual places – pagodas, old houses and craft villages.

"We found that tourists enjoy something new," he said. "It's a very new programme and complements tours to rice farms, trips on buffalo carts and cooking classes in the town. Hoi An is attractive, so I design trips to take advantage of the district's natural assets. "

Tour operator Nguyen Dinh Khoi said the river cruise usually starts at 3pm and lasts until after sunset. To catch the converted fishing boat, tourists are taken to the Nguyen Hoang Wharf near Vinh Hung resort by Jeeps from the American War.

The cruise, which is perfect for a group of four to six people, provides an insight into the way Asians still cling to river banks and use the streams as markets and highways.

Fishing and farming are the most popular trades for those in villages on the banks. Fishing nets are set along the river, showing that rivers are still a primary source of food, Khoi said.

The tour also takes visitors to fish markets at the ports of Duy Hai and Cua Dai, he said.

The cruise also carries kayaks and bikes for those who want to explore further.

Tourists can take a bike ride to visit the 400-year-old Tra Nhieu port, once a port for junks sailing along the river. When the junks were replaced with larger vessels, the port became too small and closed.

Visitors can also see the mat making village of Dong Binh or another totally involved in weaving nets.

The boat cruises slowly along the river waiting for the sun to highlight an image of the ancient town. Those on board slip into mojito cocktails, beers and snacks.

The tour operator also has a floating bar to serve kayakers mid-stream. Made from a converted coracle, it carries food and drinks.

Tourists love it, said Vu Xuan Hao, a tour guide. They can also use kayaks to release lanterns in the Hoai River on full-moon day. Locals and visitors alike flock to the river for the ancient night festival, Hao added.

Another option is to have a feast on a farm at the village of Cam Chau, 4km from Hoi An's Old Quarter. The village is accessible by car, motorbike and bicycle on the road to Cua Dai beach.

Vietnam tourism: Saving on Hotel in Vietnam

2014-05-27T19:44:00.000-07:00

Those "lowest rate" guarantees on most Web sites aren't worth much. Hotels offer almost as many rates as they have guests! The rate you pay depends on a variety of factors, including when and where you book your room, how you pay and how much work you're willing to do. Not surprisingly, most hotels around the world employ the same distribution and pricing strategies. Here's a quick guide to how hotels price their rooms and some tips on getting the best deal.

'Rack Rate'

Every hotel has what is known in the industry as "rack rate", also known as full rate, published rate or just plain sucker rate. These are the top rates a hotel charges their guests. While few guests actually "pay rack", hoteliers use these rates as a basis for discounting. Most hotels routinely offer discounts ranging from 10-30% simply for the asking. Many business hotels offer bigger discounts on weekends, when few business people travel. Likewise, resort hotels often discount their rates during the week and slash their rates during the off-season. Obtaining these discounted rates is often simply a matter of requesting the "corporate rate", "weekend package", or "low-season discount". Most hotel chains ofer competitive rates on their Web sites if for no other reason than to avoid paying commission to the middleman! But it's rarely the lowest rate available

.Discounters

Even when hotels claim to be fully booked, or refuse to discount their rates, there is usually a way to book a room and save money in the process. Nearly every large hotel sells blocks of rooms to tour operators and discounters, sometimes for as much as 70-80% below rack. These companies pay in advance and receive an "allocation", a guarantee of availability of a certain number of rooms. Tour operators then resell these rooms as part of an air/hotel package or group tour. Discounters simply add a mark-up of $10-100 per room and resell them to travel agents or directly to the public. The guest pays the tour operator, travel agent or discounter directly, receiving a voucher to present upon check-in.

While it is sometimes possible to save 50% or more off rack by purchasing rooms from a discounter, you sacrifice some flexibility. If your plans change, you may not be entitled to a refund, and if you decide to stay longer, the hotel may not honor the discounted rate for the additional nights. Buying vouchers from a discounter is not worth the aggravation or risk to save $10 per night at the Holiday Inn, but it can knock off $150 per night at a luxury resort!

Finally, after you have done your homework, it sometimes pays to contact the hotel directly. Speak to the Front Office Manager or the Director of Sales. Tell her the rate you found and ask if she will honor it. She knows what rates are available in the marketplace and will frequently match it if you ask nicely. (After all, she prefers to get your money directly and not pay commission to a middleman!) You may even receive an upgraded room or other perks at no additional charge. Of course you are much more likely to find a receptive ear if you are staying for a week rather than just one night.

Vietnam travel:Tips to get Vietnam Visa quickly

2014-05-27T19:04:00.003-07:00

Here are must-know things a foreign traveler should keep in mind to get Vietnam Visa in the quickest way:

Your passport must have no less than 2 blank pages to get your visa stamped.

Your passport must have at least 6 months validity from your departure date to Vietnam. Otherwise, you need to get it renewed before arrival.

In case you are confused with visa applications because of terms or jargons or you are not sure what should be filled in the form, just contact to a trustworthy travel agent for help since errors on forms can be costly.

Passport photos. Frequently, you are required to submit two passport-sized photos with your visa application. Go to a photo store to take passport photographs. If you are traveling a lot, get a lot of extra photos.

Include your travel itinerary. In some cases, you may be required to include your travel plans as proof of enty and exit dates. Normally, your round trip tickets will indicate this information.

Include a copy of your passport. It is not necessary to attach your copy of your passport while submitting a visa application. However, make sure you have a copy available in case Vietnam Immigration Department needs to verify your information.

Make sure your visa/approval letter arranged before the weekend or national holidays since Vietnam Immigration Office closes over this period of time
