In April, Vietnam celebrates its 40th anniversary of the Reunification Day (April 30, 1975 - 2015). Travellive would like to invite you to jubilant events on this occasion. If the North attracts guests with Carnaval Halong and the Central Region is vivid in its symphony of colors during the International Firework Competition, Saigon is lively with many big programs.

Travellive also recommends leading destinations throughout the country for those, who would like to discover, conquer the nature, go sightseeing or relax during the long holiday of April 30.

We invite you to Tapik beach on Boracay island of the Philippines to enjoy your life in hot days. The yellow sunshine, blue sky, white sand, lush green coconut trees, friendly locals and delicious seafood are specialties that any visitor can enjoy at the beach.

In addition, a Mediterranean paradise, Malta, the land of knights in the Middle Ages, will attract you to explore new things.

The Food & Wine section is another interesting journey to Malacca with the extraordinary cuisine of Malay people. In addition, useful information for the occasion of Reunification Day, April 30 is presented.

We wish you an exciting and inspiring journey!

Yours sincerely,

YELLOWBIRDYellowbird, recently launched at London Film Festival 2015, is an emotional film about a teeny tiny orphaned bird, who has no business leading a whole family of birds on migration. The film is inspired from migrations of thousands of birds across the Mediterranean Seas to Africa before the freezing winter. On the journey, the orphaned bird, the only one who knows the way, finds himself leading a flock on their annual migration to Africa. The movie is an interesting lesson of life about a character trying to overcome all obstacles to complete his task. The movie soundtrack is written by the English composer Stephen Warbeck, who won the Oscar award for his work in Shakespeare in Love (1998).

THE LONGEST RIDEThe Longest Ride is an American romantic drama film based on the novel of the same name written by Nicholas Sparks, who is famous for Dear John, The Notebook, A Walk To Remember and Safe Haven. The Longest Ride centers on the star-crossed love affair between Luke, a former champion bull rider looking to make a comeback, and Sophia, a college student who is about to embark upon her dream job in New York City's art world. As conflicting paths and ideals test their relationship, Sophia and Luke make an unexpected and fateful connection with Ira, whose memories of his own decade-long romance with his beloved wife deeply inspire the young couple. Spanning generations and two intertwining love stories, The Longest Ride explores the challenges and infinite rewards of enduring love. The film is produced by Nicholas Sparks, Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey, who also produced Twilight, The Fault in Our Stars and Safe Haven.

VIETNAMESE CERAMIC HOUSEIf you visit Authentique's ceramic Cam Ha workshop, look at the girls, who are carefully drawing patterns from the mixture of metal, clay and soil, and then see products come out of the kiln, you will surely love potteries. Authentique products are different from industrial porcelains.

Authentique potteries are the blend of modern and traditional shapes with fine colors and high application. Particularly, handmade patterns on products really make them distinctive. Each Authentique product is a unique model that amazes customers. Although they have the same decorations, each of them is made by a different artisan to create a typical style of products. Founded by experienced artists, Authentique not only provides traditional potteries but also contemporary products.

Malacca is as beautiful as it wonderful, truly a real-life fairy tale. Half the city is of classical Asian style, with

sophisticated carvings and colorful Chinese-style houses, inhabited in the past by wealthy Chinese merchants. The rest is similar to a small European city, completed with windmills, Victorian fountains, and little red houses. For

visitors to Malacca, a tour on trishaw (three-wheeled passenger car) is the best way to experience the city, as

well as by taking in the variety of local dishes.

BABA NYONYA - FASCINATING COMBINATION

Malacca used to be a bustling city, full of the most powerful groups of merchants in Asia. When rich traders came here from all over the world, Chinese merchants seized the chance to run businesses and live in this bountiful land. They married local women and saturated the city in their own culture. Since then, this place has been

a mixture of mainly Malay and Chinese cultures, along with Dutch, Portuguese, British, Thai and Indian influences. The name " Baba Nyonya," which refers both to the people and the cuisine, is the perfect example of this blend of cultures and tastes. Baba means "father" in Mandarin while Nyonya means mother in the local language. Baba Nyonya dishes are very popular, especially in Malacca and Singapore (Meanwhile, in Penang, you can experience a very different culinary style altogether, which is Asam Laksa).

For our first lunch in Malacca, we visited Restoran Peranakan restaurant, serving famous Baba-Nyonya dishes.

For a Vietnamese like me, Baba Nyonya dishes are very familiar due to influences of Chinese cuisine they share with Vietnamese dishes, as well as the same popular ingredients such as onion, mushroom, garlic, pepper, lemongrass and red chilli. For a Vietnamese traveller like myself, once you enjoy a few delicacies in Malacca, you will feel as though you were back at home. At Restoran Peranakan, you can also witness antiques of the Baba Nyonya people such as an old palanquin, mirror or screen. It was well worth the visit.

STREET-FOODS IN MALACCA OLD QUARTER

Right in the town square, visitors can easily bump into walking vendors with enormous bunches of bananas. Do not miss enjoying the mouth-watering taste of fried banana! For only 2RM (about VND12,000), you can enjoy a big bag of fried bananas and sweet potatoes. Although these fried pieces are a little bit fatty, the delicious taste will immediately compensate for any possible guilt. While we are familiar in Vietnam with having fried pressed banana with a crispy outer shell, they do things differently in Malaysia. Here, bananas are cut into thick pieces and fried to make aromatic "Goring Pisang" (fried banana).

Something else we enjoyed on our stay was cendol. Cendol is a cold, sweet soup, very popular in Malacca. No matter where I was, day or night, near the market or on any given street, I could see the same large signs with "Cendol" scrolled across their front. Cendol is similar to Vietnamese black bean sweet soup with coconut milk. Here the coconut milk is cooked with pineapple leaves to create the a natural vanilla taste, helping make the cold Cendol as satisfying as it is on a hot day. It was a fantastic experience!

Another dish that caught my eye as I was walking around Malacca was apam balik. This dish is similar to pancakes or crepes with peanut butter. Peanuts are pounded and mixed with brown sugar, which is formed into a cake and roasted. The roasted cake is then cut into small pieces. Sometimes bakers also use corn for stuffi ng. Unless you are allergic to peanuts,

apam balik is a must-try dish in Malaysia. The cake is both crispy and smooth in texture. All in all, it is a simple but very satisfying dish.

In Malaysia, there are two dishes in particular that make diners feel as though they were watching an art program. They are roti canai and teh tarik, often paired together. Local people often start a new day with a cup of tarik tea, along with a roti canai cake. Do not miss the chance to view cooks kneading and rolling the

wheat powder skillfully to make roti canai cakes. After visiting the Malacca Butterfl y & Reptile Sanctuary, you can enjoy teh tarik tea and choose from a wide selection of traditional cakes, free!. This program is to promote Malacca's tourism. Here, I had a chance to look at thousands of butterfl ies and snakes, then sip a cup of hot tea. Are you jealous yet? I feel like I could have just stood there, watching the artisan chef make teh tarik for many hours.

CLASSIC CHAMPAGNE COCKTAIL

On a hot summer day, it is a fantastic feeling to hold a cold bottle of champagne just taken out of the fridge. This is a scrumptious kind of wine which goes through fermentation with the addition of sugar and yeast.

This fermentation process changes the taste of the wine which is more acidic. This process also helps the wine have more flavors of fruit and yeast. If it is a vintage champagne from a high yield crop, the wine will be more wonderful. Champagne is not only the perfect instant beverage but also an ideal ingredient for cocktails.

Ingredients

1tsp of sugar

3 drops of Angostura wine

25ml Cognac

100 ml of chilled Champagne

Method

Put the sugar and 3 drops of wine into the cup of champagne.

Pour cognac into the cup. Finally, gently pour the chilled champagne into the cup.

Gently shake the cup before drinking.

STRAWBERRY MOJITO - CLASSIC MOJITO

This is a great drink to say farewell with the spring and welcome the summer! Having originated from Cuba, this cool drink together with succulent berries will make you feel refreshed by your family and friends.

Ingredients 6 mint leaves (or basil leaves) 1 tablespoon of mojiho syrup A half spoon of a small lemon 1 tablespoon of minced fresh strawberries Ice 30 ml of rum Soda / or champagne

A glass of cool classic mojito is the perfect combination of fresh sour lemon, sweet of sugar, the acrid

smell of mint and the passionate level of

rum wine

Method

Mix mint leaves with Mojito syrup and stir them together until the mint leaves turn bruised and have mint smell.

Pour the lemon juice and ice into the mixture. Combine this with the strawberry mojito and pureed fresh strawberries into the glass.

Put the rum in and pour soda over it. If you want to increase the alcoholic taste, add 15 to 30ml of rum per cup depending on your preferences. Mojitos can taste even better if you use champagne instead of soda. Stir well, decorated the cocktail with strawberries and serve immediately.

A glass of cool classic mojito is the perfect combination of fresh sour lemon, the sweetness of sugar, the acrid smell of mint and the passionate level of rum wine and the indispensable cooling of ice. Nowadays there are various methods for making a Mojito. In many places, people can use vodka which is mixed with gentle fl avors of fruit such as mango, strawberry, litchi, apple, raspberry or tamarind.

COSMOPOLITAN AND TEQUILA SUNRISE

If a Cosmopolitan is the perfect choice for urban ladies, a Tequila Sunrise is a wonderful drink for men in datings. Cosmopolitans, which appeared in 1979, are the perfect combination of fresh lemon juice, vodka, cranberry juice and a little tangerine to create a natural scent. A Tequila Sunrise is so attractive by the wild fl avor of tequila, and the interesting color changes between red and orange which feature a sunny afternoon.

Ingredients (for Cosmopolitan)

40 ml Vodka citron

15 ml Cointreau

30 ml of cranberry

15 ml lemon juice

Method

Shake all the ingredients in the shakers before pouring the liquid into glasses. Decorate each glass with a slice of lemon.

The secret to making a standard Cosmopolitan is that you need an already cooled glass of Martini. If cooled ingredients are available, you do not need to shake for too long. You can also replace lime juice with some drops of fresh lemon, but be sure you make an appropriate adjustment of the acidity level.

Ingredients (for Tequila Sunrise)

45 ml Tequila

15 ml Grenadine

90 ml orange juice

Method

Pour tequila and orange juice into a glass. Pour Grenadine into the glass. Grenadine will sink to the bottom of the glass. Decorate the glass with a cherry and a slice of orange.

Just like a Cosmopolitan, you should cool the ingredients and the cup before making this cocktail. The fl avors of wild plant cores of Agave from Mexico in the tequila mixed with the freshness of tropical oranges will give you pleasurable taste.

What are your plans for the upcoming long holiday on April 30?

Where will you visit and Why?

Ms Giang I made a plan for this occasion but it depends on the company because currently, I’m rather busy. When I have the official schedule, I will contact service providers for my journey.

Mr Minh Yes, I do plan to enjoy a vacation. This is a special and rare chance for me to get out of the city. This year, we have 8 days to escape from the noisy urban life. The problem is where to go.

Ms Ploy I will go on a holiday with my mother.

Mr Son If I can arrange my work, I will spend some days traveling with my wife.

Ms Giang Maybe I will go to Halong Bay because it is rather near Hanoi. I have just asked some of my friends about some tourist destinations and until now, accommodation services are only available in Halong bay.

Mr Minh I intend to visit Ly Son. This is a beautiful, pristine and private island, which is a perfect destination to unwind. Here, we can ride a bike, go swimming, diving, trekking and fishing.

Ms Ploy We will travel to Shanghai, China. I used to go to Shanghai on business and I liked this place very much. However, I did not have much time to enjoy it. Shanghai is one of the most modern, developing cities of Asia with a very rich history. In addition, the summer in Shanghai that I have seen in the drama You Are My Sunshine is so beautiful that I wish to experience it.

Mr Son We are going to visit Thailand, our favorite destination. Not only my wife, most women like shopping and Thailand is a great shopping paradise for them. In addition, Thailand features many beautiful architectural structures and temples. I will take advantage of this occasion to discover Thai architecture and culture for my next film.

Ms Giang In my opinion, it is wise to prepare carefully in terms of finance and necessarities such as medicines, food and beverage whether we travel to nearby or far destinations. Also, those who often get carsick, should take some medicine before the journey. When travelling with children and the elderly, we should take a notice of food and transportation because the immune system of these members are not as good as ours. For my family, Halong is a suitable destination because we can enjoy high-end service such as cruises, classy accommodation, trade centers and entertainment centers for kids.

Mr Minh These days, the transportation to Ly Son is much easier. After we fix our time, we can book tickets and hotels, and prepare our personal things as well. However, remember to travel early in order not to miss the ferry

to the island. There are only two departures everyday from Sa Ky harbor to Ly Son by wooden boat and

speed-boat. There is a large choice of accommodation on the island such as

hotels (Ly Son hotel), guesthouses and homestays. For me, I prefer making a tent on the beach and staying overnight there. However, this is not a good option for families with kids. Visitors now do not have to prepare standby batteries when you visit Ly Son island because it now has electricity. In addition, guests of Ly Son cannot miss visiting fish markets, tasting fresh seafood and buying Ly Son garlic to make gifts.

Ms Ploy Search for famous tourist sites on Google and make a detailed plan for your journey. In Shanghai, we can visit many famous tourist sites such as Shanghai Wharf, Changhuang Miao (or City God Temple) and Oriental Pearl Tower... The climate of Shanghai in summer is similar to that of Vietnam, therefore we do not need to bring many clothes.

Mr Son As its tourism slogan, Amazing Thailand, this country always brings fantastic experiences whatever you book a tour or backpack. For those, who have traveled to Thailand as many times as us, backpacking will be a good choice for this occasion. For newcomers or families with kids and elders, you should book a tour to ensure the travel schedule, transportation and accommodation services. Remember to enjoy the fabulous culinary world of Thailand!

What do you think we need for an interesting journey to the place where you choose?

ConQueRInG PAtHs

BACH MOC LUONG TU - HUNTING THE CLOUDS

Recently, Bach Moc luong Tu peak has been successfully built an inox milestone marking a new appearance for the fourth highest peak of Vietnam. Although this peak is located at the height of 3,046m, conquerors believe that the journey up is very risky because the path is quite wild and not very popular. The journey takes about 3 days 2 nights, starting from the mountain foot at Ky Quan San village, Sang Ma Sao commune, Bat Xat district, lao Cai.

Passing by piled-up mountains and high rocky slopes, the magnificent scenery with a sea of clouds and warm sunshine at the mountain peak is a valuable prize for every traveler after a long, hard journey. In addition to the path from Sang Na Sao commune, you can also climb up from Den Sung or Sin Nui Ho villages, Phong Tho district, lai Chau. like the path to Fansipan, you can climb this peak at the dry season to avoid sudden rains. You are advised to cancel your plans if it is rainy and

freezing. Because paths to Bach Moc are wild, porters only bring rice and a few necessary items. Therefore, you should prepare your food carefully. Depending on every member of your group, you should travel in the evening to reach the stop place. Check your flashlight and other necessary devices for lighting. Because this journey requires a certain level of fitness, many ladies failed to climb up to the peak and stayed at the height of 1,200m. When you go down the mountain, remember to go slowly. If you go down the slope, crouch over and pull back your knees while keeping your pack balanced on your back. In case of a very high slope, you turn your face to the slope and use your hands to go down.

Suggested schedule: Day 1: Hanoi - Bat Xat, stay overnight in Bat Xat. Day 2: departing from 9:00a.m from Bat Xat to Sang Ma Sao at 12:00. Climbing up until 8:00p.m to the stop place at 2,100m and stay overnight here. Day 3: Starting from 9:00a.m to the peak at about 1:00p.m. The peak includes many risky cliffs. Go down at 3:00p.m to the

height of 2,100m before dusk and stay overnight here. Day 4: Go down the starting location.

FURTHER INFORMATION:

To successfully conquer the peak, you need a good level of fitness. You should practice hiking, jogging or going upstairs with a 5-kg pack at sloping roads one or two months before your journey.

Costumes: You should choose trousers with large legs of comfortable material, which can absorb sweat, cotton T-shirts or water-resisted wind-cheaters to wear in the evening or avoid the rain and coldness.

Pack: Thick and airy backpack with waist and chest belts to keep it solid when we move.

Shoes: Specialized climbing shoes or soldiers’ shoes with rubber soles to give a good friction and avoid being slippery. Typical nylon socks to avoid leeches and some spare socks, along with 2 thin raincoats for each person.

Gloves: Choose safety working gloves with plastic seeds to help us cling firmly to the tree roots or trunks when we climb up.

Electronic devices: cameras, mobile phones and standby batteries, kept in nylon bags with dessicants. A flashlight, GPS machine and multi-purpose knife are also very necessary for your journey.

Food: You should bring cake, chocolate, cheese, multi-vitamin pills or ginger tea in case your blood pressure is lowered or you lose your health during the journey.

Medicine: necessary medicines for reducing fever, stomachache and first aid.

MUI DOI CAPE VIEWING SUNRISE AT THE EAST POLE

As the furthest location in the east of the country, Mui Doi cape, which is located at the foot of Co Ma mountain pass, Hon Gom peninsula, about 20km from 1A national road, is considered the east pole of Vietnam. The journey to the east pole starts at Dam Mon, Van Thanh commune, Van Ninh district, Khanh Hoa. To travel to Mui Doi, you must pass by a wilderness with white sandy dunes. It may take you 5-7 hours to go through these sandy hills.

After the sandy wilderness,

you will climb a hard rocky mountain, where you even have to cling to rocks for balance. only cactuses and sea bindweeds grow on the rocky mountain. In addition, guests can choose to travel by boat to save time. However, few people take this way because it is rather expensive and the route to Mui Doi is quite risky with reefs and unstable sea currents.

Despite its severe weather conditions with winds and sand, Mui Doi is graced with stunning scenery. Here, you can experience the magnificent nature, sky and sea. Viewing the country from the east Pole at sunrise may be an unforgettable

experience to anyone.

FURTHER INFORMATION:

Visitors must travel to Nha Trang or Tuy Hoa before going to Dam Mon. You can travel by motorbike to enjoy beautiful seaside roads.

Guide: It is very difficult for you to visit this place without a guide. At Dam Mon, you can contact to Mr. Ba (Ba Thanh) to get instructions for your journey. (Phone: 01649468442)

Personal things: suitable clothes to protect you from the sun in the day and the cold in the evening. In addition, you should bring a hat, large comforter and glasses to protect you from the sand. Specialized trekking shoes can help to protect your feet from the hot sandy path of the rocky mountain. A light pack with belts around your waist and chest can reduce the weight on your shoulders.

Bring water and some snacks, which can provide you energy as well as limit your baggage.

TREAD ON A PARADISE TREAD ON A PARADISE SAY NO TO MODERN TECHNOLOGY

This journey to the Philippines was quite different from my previous ones. only after booking tickets to Manila do my fellow traveler and I search for possible destinations to take in the country. My partner proposes Boracay, a popular site of many tourists. However, wanting a very new and distinctive photo album, I decide to go off the beaten track. This nation of 7,107 islands must have a wonderful and unique place for us! After hours of searching, that place turned out to be Tapik, located on distant island of Palawan.

In order to visit Tapik, we had to fl y from Manila to Puerto Princesa, followed by a six-hour trip to el Nido. Because the passenger car stops in el Nido at dusk, we decide to stay overnight, having a chance to view evening clouds above Corong Corong beach, where we can view the most beautiful sunset in Palawan, according to the Petit Futä guidebook. Cottages are available for overnight stay, and the early Saturday morning market is worth waking up for.

From el Nido, you can travel to Tapik in three ways: renting a motorbike, contacting your guesthouse to get picked up, or getting in a Jeepney with the locals. We chose the third (and cheapest) option. Jostling with visitors, chickens,

villagers, and the tangling legs of teenagers sitting on the roof, the local transportation was an experience in itself. It took an astounding two hours to travel just 35 km from el Nido to Sibaltan village (by Tapik beach) due to the poor conditions of the road, the mountainous terrain, and the Jeepney making unexpected stops, dropping off passengers at their village homes.

During the trip, you can hear about long journeys the locals take to get their children to the hospital, gaze at the vehicle’s roof laden with goods being transported, introduce yourself to the passengers and get to know their way of life. Their stories and welcoming nature made my companion and I feel right at home. We met a woman who had been working in Saudi Arabia for six years and asked her, despite her high salary abroad and achievement in making it out of her hometown, why she came back to her rural home. I earned enough money to raise up my brothers and sisters. she said. After that, I didn’t need anything else. Why stay away from those you made the sacrifi ce for in the fi rst place? I decided to come home.

Wanting a very distinctive photo album, I decide to go off the beaten track.

TRAVELLIVE2

hen the Jeepney

reaches Sibaltan village, we are picked up by Randy, manager of Tapik Beach. After walking 800 meters under lush green coconut trees, we finally arrive at the Tapik Beach Park Guesthouse. Although the place just opened for visitors at the end of 2013, we were not the first Vietnamese guests. A month before, a Saigonese girl came and stayed at this same guesthouse!

TAPIK: EMPTY AND PRISTINE

Facing the east, the guest house is in excellent location to witness the must≠see sunrise of Tapik. every night, Randy treats his guests with a campfire on the beach, waiting for the moon to rise. Among the stories spoken in different languages, whispers of fellow travelers, aromas of delicious dishes in the kitchen and flavors of tropical wines, I remember a dream of mine, a long-

anticipated desire to witness the rising of the moon above a deserted beach such as this. My dream is

granted at this pristine beach.

According to literature about the Philippines, any given location in the country is within two hours of a beach. And once you get to the beach, don’t stop there; the marine life among the most vibrant on earth. If you go to the Philippines, don’t miss taking a diving excursion or sailing on a boat. Tapik

Beach Park Guesthouse offers a tour for 1,200 peso, from 10a.m to 4p.m sailing through four sites: Binulbulon, Malabuso, Maosouon and Mazonon. At the first two sites, you can dive to see coral reefs, seaturtles, colorful fish and even baby sharks swimming around you in the clear water. one day on our trip, Randy takes us to an island without any visible footprints; we could not use words to describe its marvelous scenery. For my Hanoian partner, this is the first time she has walked on an isolated beach.

Called a paradise by tourists and locals alike, Tapik can throw a very lavish party. on the first night, Randy offers us the steamed crab with a coconut milk sauce. each of us is served two big crabs at a very cheap price of about VND 200,000. The most popular dish in the Philippines is adobo, which is chicken or pork marinated with garlic, then grilled before being stewed with vinegar, laurel leaves, salt and black pepper. Meanwhile, the Tapik adobo rice is added with some coconut milk.

During my stay in the Philippines, I am allured by all sweet dishes, including shrimp and squid, all served with rice. At times we could taste the sourness of kalamansi, a kind of lemon often used to garnish the food.

His Bo-Bog wild island is even more miraculous than my active

city, which is itself a dreamland for millions of people.

3 TRAVELLIVE

For cooling down in the hot weather, a buko, or young coconut picked from seaside coconut trees, is the best option. Sometimes you can see local people drinking buko in early morning in Manila, which is a surprise to many tourists, including myself.

ONLY ONE BO-BOG ON EARTH!

From Tapik, you can see a wild island with the whimsical name of Bo-Bog. There is only an old wall, which used to be a guard house on this small and isolated island. Due to its wild and untouched characteristics, every visitor, who has a bath of their own, will feel like lord of the Island. With the help of the waiter at the Guesthouse, we go kayaking to Bo-Bang at noon. The blue sky is mixed in the sea to create very peaceful scenery.

At the end of our journey, our host still beamed from the sites he showed us. I in turn show him a video of lively Danang streets with a thought that he would compliment my city and perhaps

wish to visit someday. Contrary to my expectations, he laughs. There is no Bo-Bog there! he says, the choice between the two being obvious for him. of course, the setbacks of living in Sibaltan village are apparent. Compared to Danang standards, the living conditions here are poor: the internet signal is not stable, electricity is only seen from 5p.m to 10p.m, and the water supply is not always steady. every afternoon, kids catch snails while young men play basketball on the village’s only court and billiards on a very old table.

Inspite of these conditions, to him his village is beautiful. His Bo-Bog wild island is even more miraculous than my active city, which is itself a dreamland for millions of people. However,

I have to agree with him in calling this place paradise. Until I can fi nd a whiter beach, more delicious food, more considerate people and smoother sand, Tapik retains my own vision of the perfect place on earth!

FURTHER INFORMATION:

Tapik Beach Park is located in Barangay Sibaltan, a village in the east of El Nido, Palawan province.

Cebu Pacific, PAL Express and AirAsia provide flights between Manila and Puerto Princesa. Besides these options, you can take direct flights from Manila to El Nido; however, this route is more expensive than the flight to Puerto Princesa, where you can take a car to El Nido in six hours and contact Tapik Beach Park to be picked up.

The best time to visit the Philippines is from December to May.

P A R T 1 : S U R P R I S E B Y S U R P R I S EOnly children can lose themselves in miraculous worlds such as Wonderland or

Disneyland that adults have built for them. It is more difficult for adults to see magical lands like that, where every house and street is as beautiful as in a museum. I found that wonderland in Malta, its historic beauty preserved within a modern society. The

friendliness of the people made me feel at home there.

VALLETTA - THE MOST UNIQUE CAPITAL CITY IN EUROPE

Before landing in Valletta, the capital city of Malta, Mr. Huynh Trung Nam, honorary

consulate of Malta in Vietnam, said Visitors to europe are always delighted to discover an

ancient building. Malta has a surprising variety of such ancient structures. Covering only 300

square kilometers, with a population of 390,000 people, Malta has preserved 365 ancient

churches and temples, mainly built in the 16th century. Visiting one church a day, it would take

a year to see them all.

Seeing the dense palm trees in this european capital city makes me feel as if I were in the

Middle east. The Mediterranean climate gives Malta warm temperatures throughout its four

seasons, with only 60 rainy days, making it very popular for tourism.

The purpose of my journey is to investigate tourism in Malta. I imagine that our car to the Maltese Ministry of Tourism will stop in front

of some grand, isolated building in a boulevard. In fact, the offi ce of the Maltese Ministry of Tourism is nestled in a narrow street of old

houses in the local style. other offi ces of civil authorities, including the Maltese Ministry of

Foreign Affairs and Maltese Tourist Board, are also located in narrow streets. These offi ces are not separated from local houses and share the

same historic characteristics. They could just as well be little museums of the medieval Baroque

architectural style.

While the streets of Munich (Germany) are very crowded, Valletta, also a capital city in the european Union, is gentle and slow. local people get on and off public transport slowly and politely.

Unlike Tokyo, no-one is rushing to catch a high-speed train. Tourists can take their time to appreciate the ancient houses without constantly bumping into people. Sometimes I find myself standing in the road blocking cars. Surprisingly, no-one beeps their horn or gets angry with me.

The old streets here are very narrow. A wonderful sight lies at the end of each street: all roads in Valletta lead to the sea! The sea is also where people earn their livings. Big cruise operators such as Costa often anchor their ships at the city, bringing thousands of visitors. The calm, narrow bay and blue sea provide

ideal moorings for luxury cruise ships carrying millionaires, actors and beautiful women from all over the world to this city.

SURPRISES BEHIND NARROW LANES AND STREETS

Musician le Vinh wrote My house is in a narrow lane off a narrow street in his song Hanoi and I. The song always reminds me of the historic areas of Hanoi. The narrow streets of Valletta, with their variety of ancient houses, also conjure up images of Hanoi and Hoi An. You can shake hands from the balcony of one house to the one next door. The balconies, surrounded by metal bars, are both luxurious and relaxing.

Amazingly, hidden behind these ancient little houses just 5m in width are some very impressive inside spaces. each house is like a small cathedral, with a high arch, mysterious

reliefs and stone pillars, leading to an airy courtyard with beautiful statues. In the center of Valletta, you can see the same architectural style if you visit a souvenir shop or a restaurant. In spite of its bustling shopping centers and two famous casinos, Dragonara and Portomaso, representing the modern lifestyle of europe, the mobile kiosks selling vegetables, fruit and olive oil retain the simplicity of the old days. In Malta, local people still live in the historic areas of the town. Ancient houses now used as offices are divided into different rooms with modern tables, chairs and technology. There’s hardly any need to visit an actual museum in Malta, because this country is an open museum in

the turquoise Mediterranean Sea.

I arrive at the imperial city of Mdina at dusk when the city is bathed in bronze light, making it still more mysterious. We hardly see any local people. our guide, Mely, calls Mdina the silent city. The deep ditch surrounding Mdina isolates this place from the outside world and makes it as beautiful as a sleeping princess.

In the evening, houses, temples and palaces are closed to leave a space for the sunset to spread its soft color over the city. It makes me imagine the slow approach of evening after a medieval battle, as the combat-weary nights lower their swords for the peace of night-time.

FURTHER INFORMATION:

Itinerary: From HCMC, you can take a flight of Emirates Airlines to Malta with a stopover at Dubai.

The republic of Malta includes three main islands known as sister islands, in which Malta located in the south is the largest island, then Gozo in the north and Comino in the central region. Most tourist activities take place on these three islands, especially on Malta and Gozo.

Movie lovers around the world have known about the famous film of Troy, of which Troy wall built at Fort Ricasoli on Malta island and some other important scenes filmed at Mellieha, a small town in the north of Malta, and on Comino island. Malta is also the film studio of Popeye The Sailor Man.

Situated on Malta island, Valletta was placed in top 10 brightest tourist cities of the world in 2015 and recognized as a cultural capital of Europe in 2018. Valletta was also honored as a world heritage site by UNESCO with an ancient space, featuring castles, ancient imperial cities, churches, palaces, theaters, public gardens, residential houses, offices and shopping centers that make Valletta different from the rest of Europe.

Cuisine: Many restaurants and cafes in Malta offer delicious wines and foods. You should try Al Fresco dishes to enjoy the Mediterranean flavors, especially in summer, when you can both taste scrumptious dishes while viewing the beautiful scenery.

Experiencing the night at Valletta Old Quarter: Music, snacks, fresh beer or cocktail in the sparkling light at the old quarter will surely allure you. If you like lively ambiance, you can drop into famous restaurants and night clubs at Paceville & St. Julian, Bugibba or Qawra. Those, who like quietness, can visit bars at Republic street.

Souvenirs: because Valletta was built by knights of the Middle Ages, the vestiges of knighthood are clearly seen, from architectural style to lifestyle. In Malta, remember to buy a metal statue of knights to gift your family and friends.

Currency: The republic of Malta uses Euro for their currency because it is located in the European Union. Local currency is Lira Malta.

Malta is about 93km from Sicily island of Italy in the south. Some tour operators offer tours linking Malta to Sicily and Dubai. For further information, please contact: Saigontourist/45 Le Thanh Ton, Dist.1, HCMC - Tel: 1900 1808 - Website: www.saigontourist.net.

T⁄T VIåT, T\ TRUY≈N THˇNG ß⁄N HIåN ßÑI

Laos’ ancient capital attracts international tourists with its peaceful atmosphere

influenced by Buddhism. The slow pace of life here changes little throughout time. This relaxed approach can be seen and felt from the daily activities of Luang Prabang’s

people in a typical morning.

TOWN OF LUANG PRABANG, 5A.M

only those needing sleep could bear to miss the peaceful moments of dawn in luang Prabang. life here starts before the sun rises as monks appear on streets to practice the Buddhist alms giving ritual. Monks in saffron robes, walking in the early morning fog, has for a long time been a familiar image in tourism publications. The dawn of luang Prabang begins with those modest steps.

When the sunlight slants down through the leaves of the trees on the streets, it is time for the monks to return to the pagodas to prepare for daily recitation and fasting rituals. This means having breakfast early prior to commencing their religious training. In laos, young people often spend 3 years studying and training in a pagoda; therefore, it is not diffi cult to see novices frolicking in the garden and then bringing books to a quiet place to study seriously. english language has long been universal in pagodas, so guests are very keen on talking to monks, which helps them to understand more about the unique culture and warm-hearted people of laos, a peaceful country containing many mysteries to Westerners.

LUANG PRABANG MARKET, 5:30A.M

As the day begins, tuk-tuks start to break the silence; stalls in the market set-up to sell typical goods such as silver, porcelain, brocade and coffee. laotian coffee has been famous since the 19th century when French culture was spread over the Indochina. Until now, tourists enjoy traditional drip-brewed black coffee and machine-made Capuccino on the street. It is easy to enjoy a laotian traditional breakfast including a bowl of vermicelli with grilled meat or kuy teav in a leafy space.

laotian traditional wooden houses with tilting roofs are not very commonplace in this city but ancient brick houses of the colonial period still remain in numbers. It is a charming experience to enjoy food in a colonial house with an open space and a wooden fence. Young girls intermittently sitting on the sedge mat by the roadside assiduously twist floral wires. Flowers are bought to hang on the rear-view mirrors of vehicles, or put around Buddha statues’ necks in the pagoda with much respect.

BOAT DOCK ON NAM OU RIVER, 6A.M

The river starts to swirl as boats part water from the boat dock up to Pak ou cave where thousands of Buddha statues of all sizes, made of gem, silver, copper and wood are stored. laotian people have a custom of keeping old statues somewhere when they want to change for a new one, and after hundreds of years, Pak ou has turned into a unique museum of Buddha statues in the ancient capital of luang Prabang. In early morning, Xangkong ancient village and Phanom mountainous village prepared to welcome hundreds of tourists to admire the traditional winemaking, brocade weaving and of course, silver jewels and handicrafts made sophisticatedly in laotian style. It would be such a shame to come to luang Prabang

without buying some twisted silver bracelets embossed with patterns or some silver elephant statues.

ELEPHANT VILLAGE, 7A.M

The morning in the ancient capital is initiated by onerous steps of elephants in elephant Village, an eco-tourist destination 15km far from the city where travelers can excitedly sit on an armchair as they venture through the forest on swaying elephants. Previously dubbed the land of A Million elephants, laos even now has a large number of elephants. As with Thailand, elephants here are tamed to perform in the circus and carry tourists with friendliness.

Not very far from the center of town is Kuang Si waterfall, bursting with white foam and

miniature waterfalls cascading down curved terraces. Strangely, blocks of rocks become worn into soft curves, over which water flows, creating a white mist like fog. The lake from high above has been full of bustling steps and boisterous laughter since early morning as young Western travelers are very excited about jumping from the cliff high above down to the lake. Not everyone dares to play this risky game, swinging on a rope like Tarzan, then diving in to the water.

Time goes by, and each moment makes a different impression as tourists take a stroll in luang Prabang. The dawn is tranquil, the noon is sweltering and the evening is hustling with the night market together with hundreds of restaurants and bars. This tourism city always contains diverse images so that tourists never feel bored.

Tourists from Hanoi can buy tickets on Thai Airway; Lao Airlines and Vietnam Airlines with the price from 300 USD - 700 USD. That is for short trips, for tours of over 5 days, you should visit Vientiane, the capital of Laos, then move to Luang Prabang by airplane of Lao Airlines at the price of 62 USD/way; 118 USD/return or bus at an average charge of 10USD/turn.

(corresponding 1USD/turn). You can walk to ancient pagodas in the city because of the short distance. Particularly, Vietnamese tourists can bring a car to Laos and commute easily after completing the procedure of temporary import and re-export. Pay attention to this procedure, you should go in and out of Laos at the same border gate.

Accommodation: Luang Prabang offers various options of hotels at the price from 10 to 300 USD/night occupying 2-3 people. Before the trip, you should choose and book through websites such as booking.com and agoda.com to find the most suitable hotel.

You cannot miss coffee, grilled chicken, grilled Mekong river fish, khausoy - similar to rice noodle soup, with an appealing aroma, papaya salad or tam maak hung as the local call it, with a sweet and sour taste, mixed from papaya fibers, and strange foods such as eggplant, chili and shrimp paste.

antiques, nearby is Xiengthong pagoda or Golden Pagoda - the nicest pagoda featuring religious and art works from the 16th century. Other worthy mentions are Fuji pagoda, Mai pagoda and Visoun pagoda - the religious museum. Some are free tourist attractions and some require tickets with a price from 250 - 20,000 kip.

After visiting sights inside the city, you should take a boat to travel on Nam Ou river and get to pak Ou cave - the storage of thousands of Buddha statues of numerous periods, made of every material and size.

Kuang Si, 29km away from Luang Prabang, is an interesting and entertaining place. Tourists coming here can freely take a bath, frolic and see silver water-flows outpouring from cliffs.

Other notes:Take shoes off when coming to

pagodas; pay attention to allowance to take photos in some sites.

Do not wear clothes which are too short, exposing your back and belly as you visit pagodas.

Laotian people are fond of tranquility and elegance; therefore, you should keep silent when visiting and staying in hotels and motels. Especially, avoid buying wine and beer back home to drink and disturbing the peace in hotels.

itinerary

situated at the height of over 3000m, Pu si Lung is the highest peak of the frontier region between Vietnam and China. This wild, charming and mysterious mountain always attracts explorers, whether their journeys are taken in cold temperatures or sweltering heat .

By: Ngo Huy Hoa

A detailed schedule is drawn up before the journey commences with consultation of the appropriate organizations. We submit our order sheet at the headquarters of the frontier army in lai Chau, and then to Pa Ve Su border post, the furthest region of Muong Te district, lai Chau province for approval. Although the way to these posts is rather long and challenging, we are enthusiastically welcomed and supported.

Because the post helps us to prepare rice and chicken for our journey, each of us must carry more than 10kg of our baggage. After a long trip through high slopes by motorbike, we arrive in Sin Chai A village.

We are invited for a meal with Mr. Xy Khu Xa, the deputy

head of Sin Chai A

village, of mountainous chicken, pork, glutinous rice dumplings and square

rice cake. our schedule is very pressing but we are unable to refuse our host to enjoy the lavish meal. The meal is a party to celebrate

the new rice after the harvest of local ethnic people. Their new rice party is often organized during three days in November lunar month. However, it also depends on every family in the village. Mr. Kien, our guide, reveals that the pork that we are enjoying has been fed for three years, as opposed to only three months in the lowland. That’s why the pork here is so delicious with crispy skin. The lunch revitalizes us for the journey ahead. Mr. Xa also gives us some square rice cakes to enjoy along the way.

We travel to the forest’s edge and leave our motorbikes here to start climbing up. In the first leg, we climb across thick alang grass hills, some of which are burned and cleared for farming. After that, we pass by hazardous rocky grounds. our first challenge is a big stream, across which the bridge made of tree trunks was broken in the stormy season. We have to take off our shoes and walk across the stream.

The rough and slippery rocky bed, along with very cold water, makes our feet freezing. According to Mr. Kien, the stream water is at its most shallow in this season; however, in the rainy season, the water level may reach our waist and flow with a very strong current. We have to walk, jump or lean on fallen tree trunks on the stream to cross it. However, Mr. Binh, a border guard, with a little mistake fell in the stream just before we reached our first destination.

A detailed schedule is

drawn up before the journey

commences with consultation of

the appropriate organizations.

TRAVELLIVE120

After wild streams, we come to high alang grass hills. In this season,

these trees bloom with white blossoms that swing in the breeze which is a beautiful sight. Seeing colorful wild daisies make us feel the long road shortened. We go up and down slopes. on some paths, plants are so overgrown that we must walk step by step or clear the path with a knife. Plants with prickles or sharp alang grass can tear our clothes or

wound us at anytime.

We arrive at our stopping station on the bank of a stream at dusk. Here, we can see a fallow shack made of dry trees and roofed with leaves. The shack is believed to be constructed by some building workers a year ago. We start to clear the ground, make a tent, look for some firewood and make a fire to cook our dinner. For a while, we gather around to have our dinner of stir-fried chicken, grilled chicken in silver paper and boiled

vegetables. The border guards take out a bottle of wine and invite us to raise our glasses and drink after a tiring day.

During our meal, Mr. Tong Trung Kien shares that he was Thai but his adoptive parents are Vietnamese. He started working at the frontier post in 1955. He has been patrolling this border area for times. For Mr. Hoang Thanh Binh, a Ha Nhi ethnic guy, recently moved from Pac Ma, this is the first time he has climbed up the mountain.

The cozy meal lasts late into the night with everyone telling their

stories. We are then lulled to sleep by the campfire by the murmuring sound of the stream under the bright moonlight.

The following morning, we leave all

of our baggage at the stop place and only bring water and some food for

our lunch because we will not see any water source

when we come across a fierce waterfall and a stone cave. The path is so sloping that we cannot catch up with the frontier guards. However, we experience the magnificence of the mountain from the mysterious clouds and fog and breathe the fresh air.

Sometimes, we are amazed at white hills of wild flowers. And then, we pass by carpets of dry leaves and little flowers or go under the red carpet of roses. Mr. Kien shows us an area of ground, where we can see some tobacco pipes, and says that opium traders often gather here. Traveling to this border area is not easy. Though the road is long and risky, we finally reach the landmark. We shout happily when we see the milestone on the firm concrete

base. Although it is noon, the fog spreads around the place. We are all hungry and cold but very happy and proud. The frontier guards check the milestone, perform the sacred ceremony, which is saluting the milestone, and take photos with us. My GPS machine confirms the height of 2,866m, which is the highest milestone of our country. We are excited to take photos to capture this memorable moment . We make a fire and have lunch of rice balls, sesame and salt and tinned meat.

It is a long way from this place to Pu Si lung peak, especially when we are all very tired and only a small amount of water is left. Because our path is also the border of Vietnam and China, we must catch up with frontier guards in order not to be lost to China. From this height, we have to go across thick bamboo forests as if we were in the House of Flying Daggers movie.

Bamboos, which are cut to clear the path, accidentally create risky traps for tired travelers. After the bamboo forest, we come to a primeval forest with a diversified floristic composition. The forest is so wet that every tree is creeped with moss. Despite the stunning view, our path is actually miserably hard.

We climb up peak by peak as if our journey would never end. Unfortunately, the worst thing happens. We run out of water!

We are tired and thirsty, along with the feeling that our journey would not end when we go down and up peak by peak. I always open my GPS machine to spot the height. Finally, we reach the highest peak. While we are trying to climb up to the last destination, Mr. Kien is waiting for us there. It is a rather thick forest with a wooden pole carved with Chinese words about a group of scientists, who discovered this peak in 2010.

It is 4p.m and my GPS machine shows the height of 3,085m (higher than known number: 3,076). We take our national flag and take photos in pride because we are amongst few Vietnamese conquering this roof of the border region. We are very proud because on this peak, our ancestors had fought to protect our land for thousands of years.

It is darker. The cold weather and fog cause us go down quickly even though we travel in the darkness. Although we are all experienced climbers of many high mountains, this journey is truly a memorable and meaningful challenge.

We experience

the magnificence

of the mountain and

breathe the fresh air.

Hue Royal Antiquities Museum, which holds royal objects of the Nguyen dynasty, is reminiscent of a prosperous period of the ancient capital. The structure itself is also of historical value. It was a splendid palace and the most magnificent architectural structure in Hue. However, it has seen hard times.

UPHEAVALS OF AN ARCHITECTURAL MASTERPIECE

The main display room of Hue Royal Antiquities Museum, previously called long An Palace, was built in regal design. It was a part of the architectural system of Bao Dinh Palace, built in 1845 on the north of Ngu Ha River during King Thieu Tri’s reign. It was a resting place of King Thieu Tri after the Cultivation Festival held every spring in a nearby field. The King also relaxed or entertained at the palace whenever he left the imperial citadel.

In 1847, King Thieu Tri died. Since then, Bao Dinh Palace became a place to worship the king. After the defeat of the royal citadel (1885), and during the reign of King Thanh Thai (1889 - 1907) a few structures in Bao Dinh Palace were damaged for various reasons. In 1909, under King Duy Tan, long An Palace was restored and converted into a library for Quoc Tu Giam School, located outside the imperial citadel. The palace name changed to Tan Tho Vien.

Between 1913 - 1923 the Hoi Do Thanh Hieu Co group in Hue collected many historical and cultural objects from Thuan Hoa, Phu Xuan and Hue, and they wanted a venue to display those objects. Tan Tho Vien, which was the former long An Palace, was selected.

on August 24th, 1923, their great efforts paid off and the French resident superior Pierre Pasquier and King Khai Dinh decreed the founding of the museum to be used to display the objects of the group. The function of the museum was collecting and preserving typical artistic works, which represent the political, social, artistic and ceremonial life of Dai Nam (former Vietnam). The structure was named Khai Dinh Musäe (Museum). In 1947, when the French returned to invade Hue and regain control of the region, Khai Dinh Musäe was renamed as Tang Co Vien. In 1958, in the Republic of Vietnam, it was renamed again as Hue Museum and now it is Hue Royal Antiquities Museum.

Despite the many upheavals and changes over time, Hue Royal Antiquities Museum or long An Palace remains functional as well as

a work of art itself. It is regarded as one the most beautiful palaces built during the Nguyen Dynasty.

t is a double building consisting of a base of 1.1m in height, 35.7x28m in width and pressed with Qing Dynasty’s tiles. Steps to the veranda floor are also made of the Qing’s tiles decorated with

dragons. The entire structure is made of wood with 128 iron-wood pillars. The front house features 7 rooms with 8 sets of rafters arranged in the style of chÂng r≠Íng gi∂ thÒ (pillars positioned to look like five fingers of a hand). The rafters which are carved with images of dragons, not only prop up the house but are also artistic works. They are considered the most beautiful rafters in all of Hue’s palaces.

The back house consists of 5 rooms with 6 sets of rafters and two double lean-tos on two sides. It features a wooden

ceiling and a wooden floor. Four sides of this wooden floor are four 20-meter slabs of wood. The huge roof of the house covers an area of 1,750m2 with three floors, in which two upper floors are double tiled. The roof is covered with images of dragons. The open rooftop level is elaborately decorated with a mosaic of patterns on porcelain tiles.

The interior of the building is designed artistically using different materials and techniques such as those inlaid with pearl, bone or elephant’s tusk, made as tiles, partitions and doors. A special feature of this building is that the whole structure has kept its original

interior. The significance of the wooden carvings or inlaying is recognized and respected. overall, the structure is truly an architectural and artistic work of art defined by its exceptional structural design, style and decoration, where the main material is wood. The structure itself is regarded as the most ancient object and biggest antiquity of the museum.

PRESERVING A RECORD OF A PROSPEROUS PERIOD OF THE ANCIENT CAPITAL

Hue Royal Antiquities Museum holds the most objects from the Nguyen Dynasty and royal court life in Hue. Although many relics were lost during the wars and political and social changes, the museum now houses over ten thousand precious ancient artifacts in both the main building and in the storeroom. Although most of these valuable antiquities are from Nguyen Dynasty (1802 - 1945), some objects are from previous dynasties and Phu Xuan, Hue.

FURTHER INFORMATION:

Currently Hue Royal Antiquities Museum is located on Le Truc Street, Thuan Thanh Ward, Hue. This is an important remnant of Hue’s ancient citadel, recognized as a World Heritage Site in 1993. The relic was also ranked as a national heritage site in 1997.

The objects are categorized into 17 collections such as: the porcelains of the Nguyen Dynasty; French porcelains at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century; royal costumes of the Nguyen Dynasty; metal objects of the Nguyen Dynasty; gold-inlay wooden objects of the Nguyen Dynasty; musical instruments used in ceremonies; gongs, cauldrons and vases of the Nguyen Dynasty; and canons of the Nguyen Dynasty.

Boasting an enormous store of objects of the last feudal regime in Vietnam, Hue Royal Antiquities Museum shines a light on the life of the Nguyen Dynasty during its upheavals as well as its cultural interactions. During a changing period of history, this collection is representative of life in Hue in particular and Vietnam in general.

Most of the antiquities in the museum are art and craft products made by skilled artisans. These were often ordered by royal subjects or foreign parties from China or europe. Therefore they are very rare and unique. long An Palace - Hue Royal Antiquities Museum and its objects are a precious heritage.

In the past, only rich people could collect classic cars, nowadays, this has become a pleasure of any nostalgic person. I, myself, am so allured by any classic car, especially usable cars, that I take the journey from HCMC to Bao loc plateau (lam Dong). Here I join with members of Bao loc Classic Cars Club conquering roads from the tea land of Bao loc, across lam Vien plateau to the seaside region of Phan Thiet and returning on a new route.

The first journey of nearly 700km by classic car has satisfied the personal curiosity and the pleasure of collecting classic cars of people in B’lao (Bao loc). Since that conquering experience I have started to discover cars made from the

1940s to 1975s, especially those in B’lao and lam Vien plateau.

I met Mr. Truong Minh Tuan, who sells car parts at Bao loc city. He is also a collector with three cars, which are believed to be made earlier than 25 other classic cars of Bao loc Classic Cars Club. He owns a Volkswagen Kombi Deluxe 1959, a Citroen Desevo 2CV 1960 and a Volkswagen Beetle 1300. When I was driving a passenger

car between Dalat and HCMC, I was obsessed by classic cars that I saw along streets. Five years ago, I started to explore and collect my favorite cars, explained Mr. Tuan.

Another member of Bao loc Classic Cars Club is Trong Nguyen, a young car collector, who owns a Citroen Traction Avant 1934, a Volkswagen Beetle 1300 and a three-wheeled lambro of the lambretta line from Italy. Although it is not very valuable, lambro was a popular public means of transport in Vietnam in the 1960s, particularly in the Southern region, for common people. However, Trong Nguyen has upgraded his lambro to a much newer version in the Italian style!

It is true when many people say that those, who have a pleasure of collecting classic cars, must overcome many difficulties. Collecting or owning a classic car is not always easy. In addition to passion, the collector must have a good

understanding of the cars they own and how they work.

Originating from France, La Dalat was made in Vietnam. In 1973, being surprised and satisfied by Saigon Car company, representatives of Citroen Cars traveled to Vietnam to bring three La Dalat cars to France to study and create other car frames that did not require as much technology as the Baby Brousse second edition or FAF models.

It seems that lam Vien plateau and the tea land of B’lao are the best places for car collectors to hunt Citroens - la Dalat cars. When we talk about la Dalat cars, many people believe that they are still found somewhere in lam Dong plateau, although they were manufactured in Saigon during 1970 - 1975, said Vu Xuan oanh, one of owners of la Dalat 1980 in Bao loc.

As said by Mr. oanh, from 1970 to 1975, Saigon Car company manufactured more

than five thousand la Dalat civil cars in Vietnam with a level of domestication of 40%. It is estimated that from 1970 to 1975, Saigon Car company made over a thousand cars per year! The car has a four-cycle flat-twin engine with 2 opposing cylinders, 602 cubic centimeters, a four hand gear box and is front wheel drive. la Dalat has low fuel consumption and its easy to maintain and replace spare parts such as doors and windows.

Mr. Doan Tam, chairman of Bao loc Classic Cars Club revealed that Bao loc Ancient Cars Club was formed a year ago. Passion is not enough to enjoy this past-time. Collectors must have a good understanding of their cars. They must also be very patient. Because these cars were manufactured

half century ago, the owners must take great care to avoid damaging them.

In the lam Dong Tea Culture Week at the end of 2014, local people in lam Dong and tourists had a chance to see some classic cars parading around Bao loc and Dalat city. These included a Volkswagen Kombi Deluxe 1959, a Citroen Desevo 2CV Volkswagen, a Traction Citroen 1953 and a Citroen la Dalat. Seeing the cars, spectators could reminisce about how Dalat used to be, when these vehicles were very popular.

Collectors of classic cars in lam Dong plateau and members of Bao loc Classic Cars Club have maintained and protected these cars keeping all their original parts. each car owns a strong identity which portrays its values from its own time.
