Qu˝ ÆÈc gi∂ th©n m’n,

In the first publication of the new year, 2015, we would like to invite you to the south of Vietnam to visit U Minh mangrove forest to see hordes of apiarists, who come in to collect bee honey - a popular activity in Ca Mau in spring. For a perfect journey on the upcoming traditional Tet holiday, Travellive would suggest 8 domestic destinations of the spring, such as the spring flower season in the northwest, Sapa, Danang, Phu Yen or the water region of southwestern Vietnam.

If the ancient space of Central Vietnam is regarded a strange artistic work when the local community in Hoi An reappear the life at the beginning of the 20th century, the ancient citadel of Thailand, Sukhothai, will bring guests a different view of a distinctive Thailand.

The spring will be much more romantic if you have the opportunity to walk in the Villandry fairy castle in the Loire region, Central France. Visiting these gardens creates a peaceful feeling and love of life and art, through each flower bed of these gardens. In this publication, the journey to Ladakh will end with its final part of Tso Moriri lake, which is compared with a charming colorful water-painting.

The methods of cooking Natto or manufacturing Amarone wine from mishaps offering the world delicious dishes is an interesting story. As usual, useful information is also included in this first publication of 2015.

We wish you a happy new year.

Yours sincerely,

dark rooms. To prepare for your culinary journey via your senses in the darkness, you will participate in some small but challenging games. Leave out your mobile phone and other electronic devices, your talks at the meal will be more interactive. In addition, diners

can also feel the flavors of dishes more clearly without sight. You will be surprised when discovering that most people eat by sight rather than their taste. Beautifully designed in an ancient French villa with refined decor, which is a mixture of Vietnamese

While inviting guests to try fresh vegetables and spring rolls, and swirling

a glass of wine skillfully in his hand, sommelier and MC, Hoang Duc Khuong announces: "For the new-years party, through personal research, I would like to offer a standard menu for you to choose the best wine".

To begin, Khuong invites us to try Jacob's Creek Chardonnay served with spring rolls of Nha Trang. Apart from the spring roll, diners can have this wine with other dishes such as raw shrimp, squid, fried crispy spring rolls or Northern Minh Minh fried fermented pork rolls and Hue spring rolls with crab meat. Jacob's Creek Chardonnay is made from grapes grown in the Adelaide Hills region of Australia. Thanks to the regional terrain and soil, Jacob's Creek Chardonnay has a very distinctive fl avor of fresh oranges and white peaches. If you close your eyes and breathe in the aroma, you will detect the scent of lemon peel

blended with oak. "This wine is not only well suited to the crunchiness of crispy fried spring rolls and raw dishes but also roasted chicken with lemongrass. These dishes combine nicely with the wine to create a memorable taste" shared Khuong.

The charismatic MC continues, inviting us to try grilled beef with fi ve spices and a glass of Terrazas Reserva Malbec. "After the gentle sourness of Chardonnay, let's venture on to the main course, grilled beef. With this dish, Terrazas Reserva Malbec is a wonderful compliment", said Khuong.

Malbec is the red grape of Argentina.

These grapes are fermented in French oak barrels. Therefore, Terrazas Reserva Malbec red wine has the flavor of red fruits and raspberry and cherries. Terrazas Reserva Malbec is suitable for Vietnamese cuisine because of its balanced palate; neither too hot or too sour but soft and sweet.

When being asked why he was interested in wine, Khuong replies with a story. "No one can tell the exact time when wine was fi rst made. According to a Persian legend, wine was tagged with the label "poison" so men could enjoy it by themselves. One day, an outcast concubine from

a noble family wanted to commit suicide. When she found a glazed jar labeled "poison", she drank it. After experiencing drunken ecstasy, she felt life was better and no longer wanted to die. Wine was thus introduced. For thousands of years, human beings, including me, have held a passion for this miraculous drink".

During his travels around the

world, Khuong realizes that there are over 4000 grape varietals such as white, red, yellow, pink, purple and green grapes for making wine. However, some of them are not very popular in the international market. Among them, 7 kinds of grapes, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Chardonney, Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling are the most famous (4 kinds of red wine and 3 kinds of white wine).

In Vietnam, wine fi rst appeared in the 17th century. At that time, bottles

were brought over from

France. During the Indochina period,

French authorities built many wine cellars to serve noble

parties. One of them is Debay cellar in Ba Na Hill (Danang) with its untouched structure over a century old.

Wine was gradually introduced to parties of the middle or upper classes with tasty Oriental dishes. In new year parties, traditional Vietnamese dishes are served with fragrant glasses of wine for wishing a happy new year. Upon having a glass, our hearts expand with warmth. The red wine turns our cheeks pink and revitalizes us in the crisp spring air.

CREATION FROM

MISHAPS!

Text: Phan Cac Truc - Photos: Many photographers

Cuisine is an art and the result of a process of creation. However, sometimes, the ideas for a new dish or drink come from silly chance moments, such as Japanese Natto and Miso,

or bitter Amarone wine.

NATTO: Someone put a straw into my soya beans!

If you fi nd yourself walking along Japanese street at Thai Van Lung street, Le Thanh Ton, HCMC, you can see many

people enjoying Natto rice and Miso soup(only 30,000VND). As a lover of soya beans, I excitedly taste these "slimy" Natto nuts in the broth.

It it easy to taste Natto in Japanese restaurants in HCMC. You can also visit Japanese stores such as Tokyo Shop to buy a serving of Natto (19,000VND). Featuring a strong aroma and acquired taste with its sticky coating that can spread out like silk cords, Natto is not a popular dish for many diners. However, those that begin to enjoy it will be addicted, just as with smelly tofu of Taiwan, blue cheese of Europe and durians of Vietnam. Before eating, you use chopsticks to stir the mixture. The more you stir, the

more viscous it becomes. The more viscous Natto is, the more delicious it is.

There are many different stories about the origin of Natto, but all of them describe how it is the result of an unexpected "accident". In the past, Japanese houses were roofed with straw. One day, the straw accidentally fell down into the saucepan of soya beans. The following day, they found that the soya beans had fermented and thus Natto dish was born. There is also the story of Minamoto no Yoshiie, who was on a battle campaign in northeastern Japan. One day they were attacked while boiling soya beans. They hurriedly packed up the beans, and did not open the straw bags until a few days later, by which time the beans had fermented!

Natto is mixed with spring onion and is best served with yellow mustard, Shoyu sauce, rice and egg.

This traditional dish is a very nutritious breakfast. Additionally, in Japanese restaurants you can

enjoy some interesting variations, created from traditional Natto, such as Pizza Natto with a cover of pounded Natto in place of cheese, or Natto Toast, which is a Natto sandwich with Mozzarella cheese on top. The sandwich is toasted until the Mozzarella melts on the crispy sandwich.

Soya beans are an important ingredient not only in regular meals but also on Spring greeting "Setsubun" day in Japan. Soya bean is believed to bring good luck and drive evil away. Japanese people will fi rst throw soya beans at their relatives, friends or around their houses and then eat soya beans to bring good luck and happiness in the new year.

best wine is the one you like the most". Your favorite wine does not need to be expensive or listed in any famous magazine or selected by any professional sommelier. It's simply your favorite wine, so for you it is the best wine.

I often join in wine tasting parties not only to search for my favorite wines but also to enjoy the stories of these charming bottles of wine.

Do you remember Verona city, where the most romantic story of all time, "Romeo and Juliet" was told? In addition to its great Roman arena and operas on hot summer nights, Verona is also the land of wonderful wines. The winemaking process is always done with care, from picking the grapes through to bottling. Even the most minor mistake can corrupt the whole manufacturing process. However, a wine in Verona was formed from one big mistake. This is Amarone, now recognized as one of the best Italian wines. Sometimes, a skilled chess player can turn a mistake into a winning gamble.

In Verona, local people often collect grapes, dry them and then make Recioto sweet wine. Corvino grapes are picked by hand from September to mid-October. Ripened grapes are spread out on straw mats and dried. This increases the amount of sugar and acid in the grapes. There they remain until the following spring, in January or February, at which time the grapes are pressed and stored to make sweet wine.

Recioto continued to be the premier wine of Italy until a forgetful winemaker appeared about 100 years ago. When he transported barrels of Recioto out of the store for bottling, he inadvertently forgot many barrels there. When he returned months later to prepare for the new harvest, he found those barrels. At that time, the sugar in the wine was fermented and transferred into alcohol, causing the wine to become more delicious, stronger and bitter. Amarone wine has now replaced Recioto to become one of the best Italian wines.

Amarone wine is the most delicious when it is made from grapes grown in barrens, where the grape

roots must grow deeper in the soil to absorb water and nutrients. Although the grapes are small, they are dense in nutrients, which makes the wine special and unique from grapes grown in fertilized lands. Amarone has a dark ruby color and distinctive, fruity fl avor. Some Amarone wines can be kept more than 40 years. If you love heavily spiced braised meat or fried meat with salt, you can pair these with the strong fl avor of Amarone wine to enjoy the best taste.

Early in the new year, do not hesitate to try new dishes or create a recipe that no one has ever tried. Sometimes, "fails" can bring many surprising things!

You can enjoy Natto at any Japanese restaurant in Vietnam or bring Natto home from:

SPRING FLOWERS IN THE NORTHWESTIn spring, the Northwestern region of vietnam is a magnet attracting a large number of visitors to indulge themselves in its spring blooms, sound of pan-pipes, pink cheeks, smiling eyes and the flavor of young rice.

About 180km from Hanoi, along the new national highway 6, you can reach Moc Chau. The spring makes plums bloom in a white color. Along the national road, you can easily see peaceful houses hidden under white plum flowers. Small petals are blown in the spring winds. Travelling deeper into in the valley, you can visit Long Luong village (about 20km from Moc Chau town). The road to the village is embellished with lines of white flowered plums. In the spring festival, colorful dresses of H’Mong’s girls will enchant any visitors.

In January, white mustard plants also retain their flowers. It will be a wonderful experience to look up for plum flowers and look down for white mustard flowers. In this backdrop, girls will feel like princesses wandering through wonderland!

Meanwhile, Hua Tat hill on the old national highway 6 will bring you another interesting experience. white plum

gardens stretching out on hill slopes will attract the eye of many photographers. Under the blue sky, open grassland, cool air and white plum gardens in small villages, on rocky mountains and green valleys, any one can be amazed. Hidden beyond morning dew and the white plum flowers, simple houses appear, echoing the peaceful life of local ethnic people.

Your spring walk will not be complete if you do not see peach blossoms. In the early days of the new year, guests will be surprised when standing amongst the pink peach blossoms of the Bac Ha, Muong Hum or Khau Pha areas. The majestic and wild northwest becomes even more stunning with peach flowers blooming around the forests, in cliffs and by the rock fences along roads to the village.

Roads filled with flowers of the northern spring also include pear flowers. Pear flowers often bloom in spring, however, it is really a challenge for any photographer to catch the blooming moments. Pear flowers appear at the time spring winds bring sunshine to the fog. From Sapa, Bac Ha to Ha Giang, pear flowers are scattered because these trees do not bring many economic benefits. Therefore, if you would like to witness these beautiful flowers, do note the weather conditions and keep your backpack ready to travel.

FURTHER INFORMATION:

From Hanoi, you can follow the 6, 2, 279 or 43 national roads to reach the mountainous areas of the north. Along these roads, you can see the typical spring flowers of this landscape. Roads in the mountainous areas of the north are rather windy with many climbs and mountain passes.

The weather of this region in spring is very cold, therefore, you are advised to prepare enough warm clothes.

In early spring, it is a little bit humid with dense fog; take care of your camera to record the most beautiful images.

SPLENDID SAPA IN SPRINGSapa is always desirable to visit in spring by anyone who would like to contemplate bright peach blossoms in the green space and breathtaking terraced fields.

Sapa is like a different world. Looking at the Hoang Lien Son mountain with clouds clinging to its peak, one will feel very taken away. Then, it comes to deep valleys and beautiful hills. The town in the mist is not very large. Here, it’s easy for guests to find famous attractions because it seems that they were named for this favorite travel destination.

Among them, Ta van, about 10km from the town center is a popular place. Passing across Muong Hoa valley, visitors will feel like they were experiencing a strange happiness. Many foreigners with a backpack on their shoulder walk along dirty pathways of Sapa. That’s really enjoyment!

Another beauty spot is Silver waterfall, about 15km from the town on the way to Lai Chau, Dien Bien. Silve waterfall features a metal stair system taking guests from the mountain foot to the fall. Located at the height of 200m, the waterfall is the upstream of

Muong Hoa stream. From the base, the waterfall is high and imposing, pouring out silver water. Meanwhile, not very far from Sapa, Cat Cat village is charming with houses built by the valley, along Muong Hoa stream.

In addition, you can visit the ancient rocky ground. A large cement-paved ground in a metal hall is built for guests to view the rocky ground. Nearby the hall, a large ancient rock with ancient artwork is also protected by a safe fence. The ground is composed of 159 small and big rocks placed among trees with an area of 8km2. This ancient ground was found in 1923 by the famous Russian-French Orientalist, victor Goloubev.

In Sapa, you can taste unique dishes that you cannot find in your house. A variety of restaurants along the road in Ham Rong mountain foot, in Cat Cat or on Ham Rong mountain serve grilled dishes in the evening. You can try simple dishes such as thæng cË, chicken, pork, bamboo-tube rice, grilled eggs, grilled sweet potato and corn. In addition, you can enjoy local wines such as corn wine or cassava wine stored in plastic bottles. This simple way of having meals in Sapa always please guests.

FURTHER INFORMATION:

Transportation: From Hanoi, you can travel to Lao Cai by train (about 294km) or by passenger car along the new motorway of Noi Bai - Lao Cai.

Accommodation: Sapa includes 67 hotels, which are mostly located in Cau May and Fansipan streets. Priced from 300,000 VND/night.

Because famous attractions in Sapa are closely situated, most guests can walk to those spots. You can also hire a local vehicle (150,000VND/day) to the ancient stone ground and Ta Phin village. You should stay overnight at Ta Van or Ta Phin village (about 12km from Sapa) or Ho village (about 28km from Sapa).

In spring, Sapa is very cold. It is wise for you to bring more warm clothes. You should also bring sneakers to travel along mountainous streets.

Other notes: The food in Sapa is not very expensive, however, you had better ask for the price before ordering. In the evening, you can enjoy cassava wine and grilled dishes such as grilled eggs, grilled pork guts or bamboo-tube rice.

SPIrITUaL TraVeL In con DaoIn wartime, Con Dao was regarded as Hell on earth due to its severe prisons. In 2011, the American Travel + Leisure magazine recognized this place one of the most charming and mysterious islands in the world. In the first days of new year, a travel to Con Dao is also a pilgrimage journey to historical vestiges of the nation.

One such historical place is Chua Dao palace, which was the home of the island’s lords and lackeys of the French colonists from 1862 to 1975 and is now Con Dao museum. The palace is built in an ancient architectural style with walled houses, tile-roofs and veranda floors. Inside the palace, the floor also remains with ancient red bricks.

To understand more about Hell on earth, you should visit Con Dao prison and Phu Hai center of correction - the biggest and the oldest prison in Con Dao. Another notorious prison is Phu Tuong, which is connected with the Tiger Cage of the French. Generations of vietnamese soldiers from the French to American wars were held in custody and ground down here.

Con Dao also reminds guests of king Nguyen Anh, who reunified and founded the nation named vietnam in 1802. Another relic is Lady Phi Yen temple (the wife of king Nguyen Anh), one of two women (the other is vo Thi Sau) worshiped as a sacred goddess by local people.

Con Dao is picturesque with blue sea, white sandy banks and smooth sea waves. Coming here, you can feel its attraction, which was chosen by the celebrities, Brad - Jolie, for their vacation in vietnam.

COLLECTING HONEY IN

U MINH FOREST

TRAVELLIVE

In spring, U Minh mangrove forest in Ca Mau province of southern Vietnam is inundated with hordes of apiarists, who come in to collect bee honey that the hives produce.

TRAVELLIVE0

If Nam Can forest is known for its mangroves, U Minh is known for its white-flowering trees in these flooded forests.

This forest represents an exciting ecological area for the fertile area of Ca Mau. Due to its unique and distinctive characteristics, U Minh has been preserved and developed under international standards.

The forest is separated into two parts with the Trem and Cai Tau rivers forming natural borders. The upper part is named U Minh Thuong and the lower part is U Minh Ha. U Minh forest is not as bountiful as it appeared in my imagination as a little boy when reading The scent of Ca Mau Forest, written by Son Nam.

During Spring, this area features forests of mangrove flowers. Truong, a local guide, takes us to the center of the forest to view the famed

mangroves. We take in the beautiful, swaying trees, set against the ambience of bees buzzing as they search for nectar. The spring breeze gently blows through the wild forest. Occasionally, a small boat laden with plastic boxes fleets quickly towards Ca Mau city. Truong tells us these boats are transporting honey collected from wild bees in the forest.

U Minh is famed for its honey, widely regarded to have the highest quality compared to other regions. U Minh has yellow-flowering Melaleuca trees, which are grown for wood and oil production. Additionally, white-flowered mangroves boast an irresistibly sweet scent that entices bees to build their hives in great quantity in the forest. At this time of the year, with the forest replete in white flowers, apiarists venture in to search for the valuable, natural honey.

In the Southwest of Vietnam, harvesting mangroves for honey is unique to U Minh. To harvest the best honey, the

beekeeper must be very skillful and experienced. They use green branches of melaleuca trees to entice bees to build a hive. After cutting a mangrove branch, the beekeeper will find the most convenient place in the mangrove to put it. This mangrove must be big and grown away from the trail yet still with sunshine. If the mangrove is located in a shady place with less sunshine, bees will choose not to build their hives there. This also affects the quality of the honey.

Beekeeping may seem to be an easy career however it is actually very complicated. After putting the branch on the tree, the beekeeper must clear nearby branches in order for bees to take the honey. To take the best honey, the beekeeper must choose and place the branch two months before the flowers bloom. It is said that the best time for placing branches is between October and November. At that time, the monsoon season is drawing to a close, with the last heavy

rains cleaning the tree branch, before it dries. People claim that bees have a very good sense of smell. They will not build a hive if they find any unusual scent on the branch. After placing the branch, the beekeeper will wait for the bees to come and build their hive. After that, they come to extract the honey.

In spring, U Minh fills with a large number of beekeepers. The more that come, the more interesting and energized the atmosphere in the forest is. To prepare for the bee

season, apart from many necessities such as food, drink, mosquito spray and bedding, the beekeepers also bring dry coconut leaves to use as torches. The torches are soaked in water to create smoke when burning. The bees will fly out of their hives when smelling the smoke. Once the hive is empty, the beekeeper uses a sharp knife to cut the hive and extract the honey. The honey drips out until there is nothing left in the hive.

When visiting Ca Mau, it is a wonderful experience to taste specialties made of honey. Local people often use young bees mixed with wild banana flower, persicaria, dried spring onion and fried peanuts. This dish is best served with a glass of wine under white mangrove flowers in the spring.

FURTHER INFORMATION:

U Minh mangrove forest is about 55km from Ca Mau city. If you travel by motorbike, you can follow Route 63 to the north of Tran Van Thoi district after a little over 50km. Currently, many travel agents offer options to the North and Centre and many flights by airplane to Ca Mau.

It is about 350km from HCMC to Ca Mau. You can take a Phuong Trang passenger car at 230,000 - 250,000 VND/guest.

It is best to travel to Ca Mau in the dry season from October to April.

One-star to three-star hotels in Ca Mau are priced from 250,000 - 2,000,000VND.

Food: Seafood in Ca Mau is very fresh and delicious. You can buy honey, dried shrimp, crab, fish sauce or salted vegetables.

Apart from visiting U Minh mangrove forest, you can visit other attractions such as Da Bac islet, Ngoc Hien bird yard and Hon Khoai islet.

The coming New Year is an ideal time to explore the sprawling fairy-tale gardens of the castle-palace Ch©teau de Villandry, nestled

by the Loire river in the Central region of France.

travel Text & Photos: Thu Giang

Since childhood, I have dreamt of one day wandering through a castle such as those that appear in movies, books, or the fairy-tales my mother told me. My friend, who studied at the historical town of Poitiers, has told me of the famed castles of France’s Loire Valley - a wonderland of ancient castles, famous wines, and romantic gardens that bring my childhood dreams to life as I journey through them.

It takes just over an hour to make the train journey from Paris to Tours - the capital city of the Loire region. My friend meets me at the station and we walk to our hotel, located only 5 minutes away. We check in quickly as we are eager to visit the famous castle of Ch©teau de Villandry. Constructed during the Renaissance and echoing its style, This castle is recognized by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage site.

According to documents from the 14th

to 16th century, the castle was owned

by Jean Le Breton - France’s military general under King Francis I. The chateau was also the meeting place of French king Philippe II and king Richard I of Britain to discuss peace. The chateau changed hands several times, including being purchased by Napoleon Bonaparte for his brother, Joseph Bonaparte. The castle and gardens remained simple and relatively unchanged during this time. It was only after being bought and restored by Spanish Doctor Joachim Carvallo, did the site become a true masterpiece of design.

The biggest attraction of the grounds are its spectacular gardens, which are designed according to two themes: the garden of love and the garden of music. Each garden is formed in a square with small interlinking features reminiscent of stained glass art. The love garden is based on four aspects of love: Tender Love, Passionate Love, Fickle Love and Tragic Love.

S

5 TRAVELLIVE

Tender Love is symbolized by hearts and masks; Passionate Love is also represented by hearts, but this time they are broken out of passion. Fickle Love with its horns represents betrayal; Tragic Love is shown with daggers and swords. Inside each of the gardens are numerous flowers of differing colors representing love of different emotions, from yellow, orange, pink and red to purple. A wide range of emotions is displayed in every corner.

We continue on to the horticultural gardens, which supply most produce for the castle. We pass through a corridor lined with grape laden vines. When I come here, I cannot believe that all the artwork here is created from fruit and vegetables.

The purple cabbages are arranged in such a way that when viewed from afar, they appear like flowers! I only realize they are cabbages as I approach closer. A variety of herbs and tomatoes are also arranged in neat lines. This shows the meticulous care of the gardeners and above all, the owners who have lived in Villandry. The gardens are a manifestation of their love for art and nature. This is what makes Villandry so appealing.

Visiting these gardens creates a peaceful feeling and love of life and art, through each flower bed of these gardens. In the cold New Year time, many people visit this place to warm their hearts with feelings of love by immersing themselves in the romantic scene of flowers at Villandry.

Sukhothai is nearly 427km from Bangkok capital city in the North with an area of more than 6,600km2. Before a journey to this place, we chose to book Thai Thai Sukhothai hotel online. While waiting for check-in, a French family, who was waiting for their taxi after checking out, said to us: “The hotel room is very clean with new equipment and good services. The air here is very cool with many famous attractions”. With their comments, we feel very excited.

THE MARK OF AN ANCIENT DYNASTY

Sukhothai, which is less affected by urbanization, is regarded as the “dawn of happiness”. In Thai language, Sukhothai means the “original point of the joy”. Sukhothai is also the fi rst ancient citadel of Thailand, founded in the 13th - 14th century. The fi rst king, Phokhun Si Intharathit set up Ruang Phra dynasty. The Kingdom of Sukhothai was ruled by many kings. However, the most famous one was Ramkhamhaeng, the third king of Phra Ruang dynasty in the Kingdom of Sukhothai because he created the Thai alphabet and a fi rm background for the monarchic system as well as made the Buddhism as a national religion.

This ancient citadel used to include royal palaces, numerous temples and ancient historical structures, which are now ruins. Sukhothai Historical Park (Old Sukhothai) was recognized as a world cultural heritage in 1991 by UNESCO.

Sukhothai Historical Park site covers the entire area of the past Sukhothai city with an area of 3.38 km2. This is the fi rst masterpiece of Siam’s architectural style. This typical Siam’s structure manifests for the creation of Thailand in the early times with a variety of original Thai architectural characteristics.

When recalling tourism of Thailand, most Vietnamese travelers will think of Bangkok with imperial palaces, opulent silver and gold temples, red-light streets or shopping paradise with an array of crowded trade centers or Pattaya with beautiful, sunny beaches. Another view of Thailand is Sukhothai ancient citadel, which is regarded as the homeland of Buddhism, the national religion of this Kingdom.

A DIFFERENT THAILAND

Inside the walls, an area of 70km2 still retains about 200 ruins with 26 temples surrounding the old Wat Mahathat palace. Ancient relics as well as distinctive scenery and cuisine have enchanted a large number

of travelers. Although Sukhothai is an ancient citadel of Thailand, the architectural style here was affected by those of Khmer and Indian cultures.

Wat Mahathat royal temple, which is the largest Buddhist temple with an area of more than 160,000m2, is considered as the heart of Thai Buddhism. Here also remain many stone pillars in front of the 10m high Buddha statue. The temple is famous for the monument carved with writings of King Ramkhamhaeng and many sculptures of Buddhist walking on stone walls. To the west of Wat Mahathat temple, there is the largest pagoda in Sukhothai which used to be the religious center of the ancient Sukhothai. This is a perfect place on the traditional Tet holiday for you to feel the breath of Buddhism.

BIKE TOURS TO DISCOVER SUKHOTHAI

We spend 4 days to discover Sukhothai ancient citadel. However, this area is so large that we can only visit some main places written on the map. In order to visit temples in neighboring regions, we must hire a vehicle, a bike or a motorbike. We decide to hire a bike (about 100 baht/bike/day) to discover the rural scenery and ancient quarters, and feel the superb beauty of the past Sukhothai.

With a comfortable mood, we visit vestiges and take in the ancient space, harmonized with the nature of Sukhothai. When looking at the limestone rocks of the Siam era, I can feel deeply the saying of old people that means the life is always changing, nothing is permanent.

Witnessing the ruins of Sukhothai in the afternoon, under the last golden sunshine of the day, lifeless stone pillars, laterite blocks and mysterious ancient walls make us feel the marvelous appearance of this ancient citadel. After centuries, Thai people still preserve nearly the entire ancient vestiges. However, all ruins in the ancient citadel were restored in 1976. Thai government announced to protect this area in the Royal Announcement on June 6th, 1962. Until 1976, repairing projects were agreed and in July 1988, the park was opened for public. On December 12th, 1991, the park was recognized as a world heritage site.

Time destroys everything and Sukhothai is not an exception. However, all vestiges here were carefully

repaired like the original ones. At each entrance gate of the park, Thai people show images of the vestiges before they were restored and the restored models. Although we do not have a chance to witness vestiges of Sukhothai built in the 13th - 14th century, well-restored structures can also help guests not to feel pity. Guests are required to dress neatly with long pants and long-sleeve shirts to visit vestiges as in Wat Si Chum because these are regarded as sacred places by Thai people.

After discovering Sukhothai ancient citadel, we decide to spend a day riding a bike to tour around vestiges in neighboring regions. We ride on smooth paved paths, under the shade of leafy canopies

with tamarind trees running along both sides. Occasionally, some motorbikes of travelers pass by us. It is so tranquil and cool that we do not feel tired after riding a long way.

While staying in Sukhothai, we often travel to the path in front of the park to have a meal. Here, we can enjoy an array of Thai and European dishes from 100Baht (70,000VND)/serving. In particular, the bamboo-stick slanting dishes in the streets of Sukhothai are very delicious and cheap.

The more we understand Thai villages, we all share the same feeling that Thai people are very mild and friendly. They smile with us everywhere. This is really the land of smiles!

FURTHER INFORMATION:

From Vietnam, you can book a flights with many airlines to Thailand. You can book for train tickets to Sukhothai and hotels online prior to your journey.

Itinerary: We took a flight of Thai Airways to Bangkok, then took a taxi (at 150Baht) to pick up train tickets and returned to the hotel (about 200Baht). We stayed in Bangkok for 2 days 1 night. After that, we took a train at 22:00 and arrived in Sukhothai at 6a.m on the following day. We took a tuk tuk to travel about 3 - 5km to the bus station to Sukhothai ancient citadel (about 43 Baht/person).

You can book a tour to Thailand at most of travel agents because this is a popular tour in the South East of Asia. Saigontourist offers a 5 or 6 day tour to Thailand, departing from the 29 of December lunar month at 7,490,000VND.

At airports or railway stations and bus stops in Thailand, there are always tourist information centers. You can ask policemen for help if necessary. When asking for necessary information, Thai people are very willing to help.

Remember to wear long trousers and long-sleeve shirts when visiting temples in Thailand.

The weather in Thailand on the traditional Tet holiday is the same as that of Vietnam. It is not too hot an too cold that is very convenient for guests to tour around.

Currency: Baht. 1 Baht = 700VND.

HOURS AROUND THE SOUTHERN GATE OF JAPAN

We start our journey at Kyushu, the southern gateway of Japan, as maple trees and ginkgo trees change their colors, marking shifting of the seasons.

My journey through Kyushu is an unforgettable experience. I enjoyed the beautiful melody of the sky, have a public bath and feel the hospitability of local people.

After three and a half hours flying from Hanoi, we reach Fukuoka in the cold morning breeze of autumn with warm greetings from representatives of the Kyushu Tourism Promotion Board. When saying farewell to them, we all wave our hands as instructed by our guide. Japanese etiquette means they will follow guests with their eyes until the car moves out of sight. This is a cultural characteristic of Japanese that we perform when we meet any local person during our journey.

The first destination of our journey is Fukuoka, the capital and the biggest city of Kyushu. After a delicious lunch of Shabu-Shabu hotpot, we visit Yufuin traditional village (Oita province). Yufuin has a rich heritage, from museums and ancient houses to restaurants and cafes along main streets. It also showcases traditional works made from the end of the Edo to the Meiji dynasty. Here, visitors can visit traditional workshops such as

Japanese paper-making and crafting hand-made products such as dyed cloth and pottery.

One of the most charming attractions in this region is Kinrinko lake, located by Yufu mountain, with a small temple at the southern end. Visitors can also enjoy a public bath in the hot springs. For me, I prefer walking and breathing the fresh air for relaxation. If you enjoy shopping, you can spend many hours here to pick up some of the many souvenirs.

BEPPU, THE HOUSE OF 2,800 HOT SPRINGS

With its mountainous terrain and Aso volcano, Kyushu is famous for its hot spring resorts. A must-visit destination of this place is Beppu, home to more than 2,800 hot springs, many resorts, and the biggest hot spring in Japan. Among the hot springs, the 9 most extraordinary ones are given the title Jigoku Meguri, where visitors can witness

hell on earth. Right at the entrance, cakes and eggs cooked by the heat of hot spring make an interesting treat.

When visiting Beppu, visitors cannot miss spending a night in a Ryokan - a traditional Japanese inn, bathing in Onsens and enjoying seasonal dishes in the livingroom. After checking-in, we are delivered a Yukata, a traditional garment of Ryokan, along with a towel for bathing in Onsen. At an

onsen, all guests are expected to wash their bodies and rinse themselves

Beppu, home to more than

2,800 hot springs, many resorts, and

the biggest hot

spring in Japan.

thoroughly before entering the hot water and are not normally allowed to wear swimsuits in the baths. For local people, that is the way to relax, exchange and connect the community.

Only after immersing myself in the warm water and listening to the sound of water touching my skin, do I feel the best relaxation. While I enjoy Japanese dishes, pretty chambermaids clean the table and spread out the futon, a traditional Japanese bed, surprising me.

KUMAMOTO, HOME OF CASTLES AND VOLCANOES

The following morning, we continue our journey to Aso volcano of Kumamoto province, one of the most ancient and largest volcanoes in the world, spanning 17km from the east to the west and 25km from the south to the north. Although the volcano is not erupting, it is active; its mouth pours out white smoke, entrancing guests. To go up Aso volcano, guests can choose to travel by car, cable-car or go by foot. If you are lucky enough to come on a clear day, you will be treated to the view of the imposing volcano billowing out smoke and feel the heat of the lava within its mouth.

At an onsen, all guests are expected to wash their bodies and rinse themselves thoroughly before entering the hot water and are not normally

allowed to wear swimsuits in the baths.

In addition to Aso volcano, the area also holds Kumamoto Castle (Kumamoto-jo), one of the most famous castles of Japan, along with Himeji and Nagoya Castles. It was built by the daimyo Kato Kiyomasa, who governed the region. The castle took about seven years to complete, beginning in 1601. It has a perimeter of 8 miles, includes a main tower, a small tower, 49 turrets, 29 gates and an array of other architectural features such as steep walls with a ditch behind (also called Mushagaeshi). The stone walls of the castle tower are 13.5 m tall and the donjon itself is 30.29 m tall. Unfortunately, the original castle keep burnt down in 1877 just before the siege. The reconstruction of Kumamoto Castle began in 1960 using ferro-concrete and continued during 2007 with the huge Honmaru Goten reception hall of the feudal lord being repaired to be an impressive piece of wooden architecture.

In the evening, the scenery is even more breathtaking, with the castle like a lighthouse brightening all of Kumamoto.

Every April, when cherry blossoms bloom in Kumamoto park, visitors can indulge

themselves in magnificent views and contemplate flowers from the morning till late afternoon.

SHOPPING IN TOSU PREMIUM OUTLETS AND CANAL CITY

Visiting Kyushu in shopping season, you can hunt for quality products at reasonable prices, or enjoy big sales with up to 70% discount at Tosu Premium Outlets and Canal City. Tosu Premium Outlets is the only outlet shopping in Kyushu. It is designed in the style of California, USA, with 150 stores displaying famous fashion brand names such as Armani, Nike, Michael Kors and Japanese brand names with an offer of up to 65% discount for foreigners.

If you are a lover of Japanese products, you should not miss a visit to Canal City Hakata (Fukuoka province), a shopping complex with about 250 stores, cafes, game centers and cinemas. An artificial canal runs through the middle of the complex that creates a broad open space. At the center of the canal is a large fountain that has a water show every 30 minutes from 10a.m to 10p.m. If you would like to energize yourself, you can visit the 5th floor of the Cinema Building with a collection of 8 popular ramen restaurants.

My 72 hour journey through Kyushu is an unforgettable experience in my mind. I spend my time here to enjoy the beautiful melody of the sky, try to have a public bath and feel the hospitability of local people. See you, Kyushu, in the near future!

HORIZON IN DREAMS

I’m standing somewhere in the

immense quietness without seeing the

horizon. In front of me is the miracle that I

used to dream of, Tso Moriri lake. Strong

winds, passing clouds and the sun spots silky

mountain slopes.

We arrive at Tso Moriri lake in the afternoon. The sun is setting behind the mountain and its shade spreads along the immense surface of the lake. No word can describe the scenery here. I stand speechless with emotion. It’s because sunset brings less oxygen. More importantly, I am attracted by the yellow sunshine stretching along the lake surface and being refl ected on the mountain slope on the other side. When it touches the mountain slope, a miracle occurs. This is the most striking sunset of my life. Strong winds blow the clouds. The sun sets quickly and that fabulous light is swept away in fl eeting minutes. The sky returns to normal as if it had not just now held such slendour.

I still stand there when it is colder. I’m more realistic. However, I’m feeling as if I am waking up from a dream. I return to the hotel in the village on the mountain slope with the anticipation of the sunrise in the following morning with hill slopes covered with sunshine and goats of the nomadic people. The village is not lit by electricity. I have to buy some candles while other people prepare the dinner.

Have you ever heard of attitude sickness? We are at height of 4,800m above sea level with less air than from coastal regions. The night seems to be very long. Less air gives us a headache. Sometimes, I feel myself slower in thoughts and doing anything. I’m eagerly waiting for the following morning to be more comfortable and to experience t0he landscape.

FURTHER INFORMATION

Tso Moriri, about 230km from Leh, is situated at the height of 4500m above the sea level, covering an area of 120km2. It takes you about 7 to 8 hours to reach Tso Moriri by bus.

Khadrung La mountain pass is located on the Himalaya, its peak, about 25km from Leh is the highest mountain pass of the world with the height of 5,600m. Khardung La links Leh and Nubra valley

There are two seasons in Ladakh: the snow season (April to October) and non-snow season. The snow season is so dangerous. Local people often have to migrate to avoid the coldness.

You can start your journey from Delhi, then take a Delhi - Srinaga flight, spend some days here and then get to Leh along Leh Highway. From Leh, you can make smaller schedules to discover attractions of Ladakh such as Alchi monastery, Tso Moriri lake, Khardung La mountain pass and other sites. Finish your journey with a flight from Leh to Delhi and then return to Vietnam.

he evening on the lake is very nice. I visit Ladakh in the phase of the Moon and reach Tso Moriri when the moon is nearly round. The sky is blue with some of very bright stars. I wish my health was better. If I was not stay at this height with my weak body, I could sit somewhere out there to view the sky and capture some stars on the clear sky with my camera. Then I fall into a sleep and wake up when the sun starts rising on the other side of the lake.

The sunrise at Tso Moriri is so exotic. I’m not strong enough to wander around the field with my camera. In stead, I step slowly on the road fulfilled with yellow sunshine and local people in the village as they start their daily life. I lean onto the soil wall of a house hung with a colorful flag of Ladakh to look at red clouds melting away when the sun rises and take the whole space. The sun seems to be bigger and brighter. It shines onto my face, spreads over the field, and then fills the lake surface along with clouds returning sunshine to the lake and mountain slopes.

I get in the car on the way to seek nomadic people. Only our guide knows where they are and only us, special tourists, have a chance to experience this. I see them and believe they are in a very short distance away but it takes our car a long time to reach them. The sky is so clear that everything seems to be closer. I meet them, who I think very extraordinary at the height of 5000 meters.

Nomadic people live on the mountain slopes, near streams formed by melted snow. Because I visit this place in the dry season, the streams are dry. The sunburnt nomadic people are covered with sand and dust. Some families here live in cloth tents built under the ground. I can see beautiful goats with their horns painted blue or red colors. Nomadic people tie them in herds with their heads huddled

together to do the milking. Then, they release them to find rare grasslands in this place. Although we would love to stay with the nomadic people for a longer time, we must say farewell to them. The sun is burning hotter which makes my heart beats more quickly and my lips crack. While local children are feeding the goats, we slowly get in the car to come back to Leh. Our journey is still very long.

In the evening in Leh, we go to bed earlier because we are all tired and also we have lowered our altitude to 1000m. I have never had such a good sleep. When I wake up, the sun fills my room. This is my last day in Ladakh. For this new day, we plan to conquer Khardung La mountain pass, the highest mountain pass in Ladakh at 5,800m.

I once watched a documentary film about Khardung La mountain pass. At the moment, I feel a little bit scared. Red soil roads around us seem to stretch without limit with two abysses on two sides. We choose to visit Khardung La because in autumn, only this place has snow. It takes us a half of day to climb to the peak because the road is not very smooth and we need to adapt to the height. Khardung La mountain pass is very imposing. From this place, we can see the white peaks of the Himalayas. Some of my friends have never seen snow. We play like children although we are all tired. Snow is falling much more from high clouds. We can only stay here for 15 minutes. That’s a regulation to protect our health. However, we stay here for 30 minutes before leaving.

I still stay at the same height as the Himalayas and then come to a higher height. We do not climb up some higher mountain pass, but stay on board the aircraft to leave Leh. I’m lucky to be sitting by the window by a Ladakh man and have the opportunity to view and capture another miracle, which is the Himalayas.

White peaks heap up on each other in the horizon with clouds and streams formed by melted snow to create tortuous rivers. More miraculously, in the far horizon, I can see the Everest peak emerging from the white sea of clouds. I follow that image until both Everest and Himalaya peaks are hidden in the fog. Close the curtain, I fall into a good sleep on the aircraft. Maybe I will dream of Ladakh, a long dream.

The ancient streets of Hoi An’s old town have been

reimagined by the local community. Already charming

by day, yet reappearing at

night, lit artistically as it was at the beginning of the

20th century.

TRAVELLIVE134

PEOPLE OF THE TOWN

On the 14th day of every lunar month, Mr. Hai Dung, dressed in a

simple brown shirt, rides his bike along the five-kilometer road from his hometown, Cam Thanh, to the ancient town. Although he is 70 years old, his face always looks happy with a toothless smile. It has been 16 years since he began performing folk art on the Hoai River. Only after experiencing the Ancient Town by night, do later generations spread this form of art to future generations. I told my children that money does not have as much meaning as my voice, he says.

Not limited to traditional artists such as Hai Dung, hundreds of ordinary people in ancient Hoi An use their voices to make the town a different destination. Artisan Luong Dang, who is famous for his Bai Choi traditional game, cannot remember how many times he has sung Quang Nam’s folk songs in the simple stage at Bon Binh An Hoi. It is the best thing to sing and live in the festive atmosphere of our hometown, he shared.

At night in the ancient town, the landscape and space of the town is immediately distinct from international urban areas, with the combination of streets, houses, lights, sounds and people with an ancient feeling. Every house in the town is

lit up by historic lamps and lanterns.

The world of colorful lanterns and flower garlands in the Hoai river make the town appear to drift into distant realms. Visitors and ladies of the Hoai river dance to the traditional music, which is both lively and gentle. If it were not for the throngs of guests in the night of the ancient town, these steps be lost in the memory.

To recreate the simple daily life of local people in ancient Hoi An, Hoi An’s current local reveal a singleness of mind through their ability of creation. No local people, no ancient town night program, boasts Mr. Nguyen Van Dung, deputy chairman of Hoi An People’s Committee.

AT NIGHT IN THE ANCIENT TOWN, THE LANDSCAPE AND SPACE OF THE TOWN IS IMMEDIATELY DISTINCT FROM INTERNATIONAL URBAN AREAS. EVERY HOUSE IN THE

TOWN IS LIT UP BY HISTORICAL LAMPS AND LANTERNS.

RETAINING THE ANCIENT SOUL

Organized since 1998, the artistic program of reimagining the nights of ancient Hoi An in the beginning of the 20th century has retained its values and created wonder in the hearts of visitors. It has become a valuable cultural product. Mr. John Gibson, an English guest, said: I feel the program is both traditional and modern. It is exciting and lively whilst retaining its traditional elements!.

Every month, on the occasion of the Ancient Town by Night, the number of visitors in hotels in Hoi increases by over 262.69% The program contributes to make Hoi An become a place of many festivals. The night reappears an array of traditional activities of Hoi An such as folk games, traditional music performances, classic poetry, martial arts, calligraphy writing, or chamber music and more. Local culinary values are expressed through boats selling Quang noodles, floating fern-shaped cakes or dumpling on the river.

In the Ancient Town by Night, the wharf and the river are crowded with the market in early season and folk games of Quang Nam province. Visitors happily enjoy playing x®m h≠Íng and Chinese chess, kicking a shuttle cock or beating earthen pots. The world of children’s songs also reappears in many games such as hop-scotch or learning to sing.

NEW VITALITY

Mr. Ho Tan Cuong, deputy director of Quang Nam’s Department of Culture, Sports

& Tourism said: The key element that brings success for this program is that all activities are closely connected to locals’ daily life. Some content is steadily improved to make them more interesting.

Many cultural activities are organized and improved upon. The music band, Old Melody, includes artists who took part in the New Music Movement of the 1940s, as well as people skilled in calligraphy, martial arts and guitar.

Many activities impress visitors such as making lanterns

and pottery; choral classes; singing folk music; and being blindfolded and beating drums. The space of the program has also expanded to Nguyen Phuc Chu, Bach Dang and Cong Nu Ngoc Hoa streets.

As an expert of festivals in Hoi An, Mr. Phung Tan Dong revealed: “We restored the ancient values of the town with a focus on folk performances”. With many innovations in methods of organization as well as activities, “Ancient Town by Night” always attracts both domestic and international guests.

We are making a great effort to renew ourselves after a long time running familiar activities. Particularly, artistic activities on the river are not altered by modern technology. Visitors and locals exchange and perform. This is a long-term cultural product of Hoi An, says Mr. Vo Phung, director of Hoi An’s center of Culture and Sports.

FURTHER INFORMATION:

Ancient Town by Night is successfully held with the assistance of local contributors, artisans, actors and instrumentalists. Many elderly people also join enthusiastically in the program.

In 2014, many organizations and international magazines listed Hoi An in lists for most favorite cities in the world, landscape cities and top 20 exciting places to enjoy nightlife. Recently, TripAdvisor, the world’s largest travel site, placed Hoi An in the Top 25 Travellers’ Choice Asia Destinations with a comment: Already a common stop for backpackers, it is becoming better known to tourists. On the 14th day of each lunar month, the town trades its electric lights for traditional colored lanterns.

The low-cost carrier Jetstar Pacific has announced its plan to introduce a new round-trip service between Hanoi and the Thai capital of Bangkok with a flight a day as from March next year.

The fee for this visa is US$60, which is higher than that for applications at the embassy of India. Tourists are advised to complete all procedures 30 days before departure. Visitors are allowed to stay in India within 30 days.

To accommodate the increase in scope of work that prompted the original postponement of this project, whilst preserving guests' comfort levels and luxury, Park Hyatt Saigon will close for a period of
