Tet is an opportunity for Vietnamese to realize many of their long lost dreams and spend precious time with their family after a busy year. It is a time for us all to sit back, drink a cup of tea, enjoy some candied fruits, and do all the things we do not normally get to do.

UNDER THE MELLOW light of spring, the sight of ao dai on the street is charming as ever, boasting an incomparable sense of elegance and grace.

With a modern twist, the traditional dress is turned into a young and lively style. From bright yellow to calming blue, the colors feature strong presence of spring, bringing an eager and joyful vibe in the early days of Tet. A perfect harmony between the colors and the design. The details, which are mostly bold Asian motifs representing goodness and happiness in the spring season, are delicately printed on the dress as a good wish for the new year, highlighting feminine features of the wearer.

The photo shoot was taken by Travellive on a sunny day in the �nal lunar month of the year when Tet had almost arrived. The beauty of the old world Saigon from Thien Hau Pagoda, to the lantern street, to Chinatown, creates a truly breathtaking and amazing backdrop for the photos.

AND A BACKGROUND IN THE DIAMOND BUSINESS Ngoc Doan may not have the look of an experienced CEO, nor the look of a designer, but she exudes the vibe of someone with a burning passion for diamonds and only diamonds.

BORN INTO A FAMILY OF JEWELERS WITH A PASSION FOR PRECIOUS STONES "I'm the third generation in my family to run a jewelry business. Diamonds were simply a part of my childhood. It has been natural for me to follow the footsteps of my father and grandfather", Ngoc Doan shared. Ngoc grew up knowing since her very early days that she was meant to be in the same business as her family, but she had bigger plans. Ngoc's decision to study abroad, which had always felt like the right path for her, indeed took Ngoc on a journey toward her passion. Ngoc had nothing but love for diamonds.

Ngoc's love for diamonds is everything her life is about. As a decisive and quick-minded person, Ngoc knew what to do as soon as she step foot into the competitive world of diamond.

After graduating with a Degree in Applied Jewelry Arts from the Gemological Institute of America, Ngoc spent 5 years in the US working as a gemologist before returning home to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam to found her luxurious jewelry brand Leman Jewels.

Leman Jewels was founded on Ngoc's passion, devotion, and a long history of her family's tradition. With such a strong and unwavering passion. Ngoc always strives to find the best quality diamonds in the market to ensure its lasting value. To Ngoc and Leman, every product must be selected carefully and treated like a piece of art. This meticulour aproach to treating every piece of jewelry remains her key to winning the trust of her most picky customers.

TAKE VIETNAMESE JEWELRY TO A HIGHER LEVEL Looking back on her journey, Ngoc Doan shared, "The only thing you need for every dream to realize is passion." When Ngoc chooses a diamond, ideas often fill her mind almost immediately. The sparkle of diamonds is something that always makes Ngoc's heart skip a bit. Life feels like it is smiling to you when in your hand is a beautiful diamond. This passion and devotion often make it difficult for Ngoc to make decisions, but it is also the very foundation for Ngoc and Leman's today success.

Ngoc Doan is still the same gentle and quiet person, who is uncomfortable with fame, but the determined and eager expression on her face has never changed for once. Ngoc plans to expand the brand across Southeast Asia over the next five years to bigger and more competitive markets.

Leman and the story of Ngoc's passion for diamonds will continue where business and art can unite for a single purpose. Ngoc is a living proof of what a Vietnamese can do with her passion to build one of the most prestigious jewelry house in Vietnam.

NORTHERN TET DISHES

Text & Photo : Ngoc Tran - Food stylist: Mã CµrËt

The Tet food tray is the most important spread of food of the year, and is in celebration of the family reunion during Tet A traditional Tet food tray in Northern Vietnam is made up of dishes distributed equally among the number of bowls and plates which are 4-4, 6-6, or 8-8. Each dish represents a different story of Tet, and showcases the wife's cooking talent.

The boiled chicken dish may look simple, but to cook it right is no easy task. When cooked, the skin must not be cracked, it should have a nice color, and most importantly, the meat must be tender. It's then served with a salt, pepper, and lime dip, and garnished with kaf�r lime leaves.

Chicken glass noodle soup is a dish that makes use of the water left over from boiling the chicken and the chicken giblets to balance the whole meal full of meat and sticky rice.

The mixed stir-fry is made up of pork rind, beans, carrots, mushrooms, heart and kidney to give the dish an attractive color, and is a perfect addition to the Tet food tray.

Gac fruit sticky rice is chosen for its color as red is believed to bring good luck for the new year.

It is best to enjoy the meat jelly when the weather is cold with some light rain. If you are not the fussy type, simply take pork or chicken meat, or pig trotters, braise over low heat with onions and mushrooms for one night, let the cold temperature itself cool the meat down for a day, and your meat jelly will be ready to be enjoyed with pickled cabbage.

The spring rolls, with their sweet and sour dipping sauce, are a hugely popular dish around the world, and an indispensable Tet dish. For delicious spring rolls, the ingredients must be well proportioned, and fried in hot oil over medium-high heat to get that crispy crust.

Vietnamese bamboo shoot soup is a dish made with pig trotters and dried bamboo shoots. The dish often re�ects the talent of the cook. When I was young, my mother often took a week to prepare all the ingredients necessary for a delicious bamboo shoot soup. The dried bamboo shoots must be soaked in water, and stewed several times with new water each time to get rid of its bitter taste, then stir-fried, and finally cooked some more with the stewed broth of pig trotters. The �nal bamboo shoots must taste like lean meat.

Banh chung, a traditional Vietnamese rice cake made from glutinous rice, mung beans and pork, can now be easily found in supermarkets and markets. The best banh chung however, is made at home with the gather of the whole family after a busy year.

Pickled onions with a little pungent, spicy, and sour taste, are best enjoyed with banh chung.

NORTHERNERS CALL pork roll gio, while in the south, it is often referred to as cha. Whether you are treated to a delicous Tet feast in the style of the North that includes many dishes, or enjoy a simple Tet meal in the south, pork roll is an essential part of Tet. Among all sorts of pork roll, cha lua or gio cha (steamed pork roll) and gio thu (meat jelly) are two indispensable Tet dishes.

To make a tasty pork roll, the selection of meat at the beginning of the process is very important. The pork must be fresh, still warm and rosy red, and already stripped of its tendons and skin, leaving lean meat to be pounded. The traditional way of making pork roll is challengingly arduous as the pork must be pounded by hands in a stone mortar.

Another easier way is to grind the meat �rst before pounding. However, the tastiest pork roll is always pounded entirely by hands.

When the meat becomes pasty and soft, �sh sauce can be added to the meat for flavor, but some spices are also often added depending on each family's recipe. The mixture is then wrapped tightly in banana leaves into a cylindrical shape and steamed.

A 1kg pork roll typically takes an hour to cook, while small rolls about half a kilo in weight take 50 minutes.

The pork roll, when cooked, has a slightly fragant smell, and can be left to cool down, or eaten straight away with a bowl of white rice. A good pork roll when sliced must have bubble holes in it, be slightly pink, and still be a little wet. If the cooked roll turns out white and free of bubble holes, then it must contain a lot of borax, a potentially cancer-causing chemical additive illegal in many countries though still used in Vietnam.

to balance between the parts of ears, nose, and tongue as well as estimating the amount of cloud ear fungus, pepper, and spices to be added into the mixture. Some would remove the nose for the meat jelly to contain less fat, some remove the tongue to retain moisture, while some would add a bigger portion of ear cartilage and cloud ear fungi into the mixture for taste.

The mixture is then stir-fried, and then pepper, �sh sauce, onions, and spices are added into the meat according to taste since there is no exact proportion.

When asked, my mother would just often say, "Add in a little of every thing!" and you can't help but feel frustrated at the useless advice. When the meat is cooked, it must be wrapped tightly in banana leaves.

You should warm the banana leaves �rst through �re to make the leaves soft, less pungent, and easier to wrap with.

Any type of meat in Vietnam can be used to make gio cha from cha bo (beef roll with herbs), to cha ngua (horse meat roll), to cha be (calf roll). Each region of Vietnam has their own version of gio cha with different recipes. Homemade gio cha is likely to have a different taste from year to year, and never tastes the same twice.

My favorite will always be my family's recipe.

Despite the fact that I have tried all different kinds of cold cuts and sausages, but the tastiest I have to admit is my mum's homemade gio cha, to be savored with a bowl of steamed white rice!

It is a must to enjoy, if not cha lua, gio thu during Tet. Gio thu is a type of meat jelly made with �esh from the head of a calf or pig, and is an ideal treat to enjoy with Vietnemese alcohol during Tet. It can be made at home, a recipe which is easy to make, but difficult to make well. The hardest process is TRAVELLIVE

Tan Tai & Tan Loc (Hang Trong Folk Paintings) hung in front of the house during Tet

FOLK OR TET PAINTINGS, HAVE LONG BEEN A FINE VIETNAMESE TRADITION ON THE OCCASION OF TET. IT USED TO BE AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT IN EVERY VIETNAMESE HOUSEHOLD FROM RICH TO POOR AS IT INDICATES THE ARRIVAL OF SPRING AND THE RETURN OF TET. A few decades ago, Dong Ho Village (Thuan Thanh District, Bac Ninh Province) was the place that produced the majority of folk paintings in Vietnam. The twelfth month of the lunar calendar is the most hectic season for the purchase of folk paintings. Trading boats from all over the country would �ock to Dong Ho to buy the pictures in bulk, which were often stacked together to be shipped to villages across the country in time for Tet. Besides Dong Ho, local villages such as Kim Hoang (Hanoi) and Sinh Village (Hue) developed their own distinctive folk painting style to meet the needs of their respective regions. The paintings which originated in rural areas ended up �nding their way to urban life, and gave way to the Hang Trong painting line in the very heart of Hanoi.

CHARACTERISTICS OF FOLK PAINTINGS

HOW COME THE FOLK PAINTINGS WERE SO POPULAR? Besides an affordable price, the paintings were considered beautiful and a must-have for every household. Over a century ago, the French painter Henri Oger was the �rst westerner to �nd the beauty and charm in Vietnamese folk paintings, especially in the use of bright and powerful colors unlike in western countries, or anywhere else for that matter. "Annam folk paintings are presented in a collection of strong and contrasting colors. Through these paintings, a preference for bright and vivid colors is detected. " (from the Mechanics and crafts of the people of Annam, published by the French School of the Far East, 1909).

Henri Oger had artists sketch around 4,500 drawings to document all aspects of Vietnamese village life in the early 20th century. He also hired skillful wood carvers to produce wood carvings, and began printing folk paintings, leaving behind an incredibly priceless and meaningful treasure that depicted Vietnamese society over a century ago.

Later, a French scholar M. Durand, assembled and introduced the book collection "L'emagerie populaire Vietnamiene" (Vietnamese folk paintings) published in Paris in 1960. The collection consists of 533 folk paintings both from the Dong Ho and Hang Trong painting lines.

Many French painters and scholars who happened to be in Vietnam during the colonial period were charmed and fascinated with Vietnam's beautiful folk paintings.

The folk painting lines use colors from various kinds of natural materials which are easily found in Vietnam from soil, to bamboo leaves, to indigo leaves to pagoda tree flowers. Brilliant works are created against an earthy-tone background of rural Vietnam from brown walls, to brown clothing, to thatched roofs, to the brown stone walls that surrounded the Vietnamese pagodas and temples. Folk paintings are considered a colorful element of Tet which warm the hearts of the rural people who liked to enjoy the simple things in life.

Vietnamese folk paintings impressed the French even more with their diverse themes including calligraphy.

Most Vietnamese at the time were illiterate, so they were particularly fond of words. To them, hanging words inside

"Each year when the peach blossoms flowered Back here came the old master Spreading red scrolls and Chinese ink At this busy street corner." the house helped express their hope for their children and grandchildren to become educated. The chosen Han and Nom characters often serve as a wish to realize this dream.

Most common words Phuc, Loc, Tho, Xuan, Khang, Ninh, Duc, Phu, Quy, Phat, and Than, are written beautifully in the �nest brush strokes.

Playing with words has been around since ancient times, which is beautifully expressed in Vu Dinh Lien's poem "The Old Scholar".

Every year at the return of Tet, this play of words is often spotted in the folk paintings displayed at spring festivals across the country, written by contemporary calligraphers.

Bit mat bat de (Blinded to catch goats) - Dong Ho Folk Paintings

ExPRESSING ASPIRATIONS AND WISHES The folk paintings is a way for old Vietnamese villagers to express their aspirations and good wishes for future generations. They wanted nothing but a life of simple bliss, free from harm by evil forces. The folk paintings they hung in their houses are considered "sacred charms" that worship different gods in hope of a tranquil life.

Through the paintings, the villagers also wished for a full and happy life with good crops, fertile soil, and many children, especially a son to continue the family line following Vietnamese traditional beliefs. The belief is evidently depicted in the popular images of a chubby boy holding a shrimp, a �sh or a Buddha's hand fruit. Some other themes which express good wishes include a

corpulent pig with suckling piglets, or a hen surrounded by chickens, or sometimes just a pair of golden roosters in Kim Hoang paintings or a rooster with the words "Dai Cat" written in Han characters in Dong Ho paintings.

The folk paintings also brilliantly portray Vietnam's spiritual life in the early 20th century when every village had their own pagoda. The "Thap vat" painting style is the clearest indication of spiritual values instilled in villagers of Northern Vietnam. The paintings are often small, simple, and only in black, which are not to be hung, but burned for the dead.

Some of the most lively folk paintings depict popular past folk games such as swinging, cock �ghting, tug-ofwar, chess playing, and catching a goat while blindfolded. A number of humorous themes can also be found

on folk paintings as well such as Danh ghen (Jealousy) and Hung dua (Coconuts catching). The folk painting themes also include satirical potrayal of the bribe culture in Dam cuoi chuot, a rat's wedding which features a wedding march of rats delivering gifts to a big cat in hope that the cat will leave the happy couple alone.

The folk paintings are among the last few precious remains of old Vietnamese rural life, and are a legacy left behind by our Vietnamese forefathers. This is a legacy that will remain over time through the restoration efforts that many artisans are doing with Kim Hoang folk paintings, and through the essence of folk paintings captured by contemporary artists in which the same lines, colors, styles, and themes are used in modern paintings to portray a unique national identity.

Dare to live, dare to dream, and dare to experience - Those are the traits shared by the most popular Vietnamese travel bloggers.

They step out into the world with a youthful and passionate spirit, and often go beyond their limits to make positive changes to our community. They are also the people who go where others fear to tread in farflung places with some of the harshest of conditions, and come back richer in experience. Their never ending journeys are creating a wave, and becoming an inspiration to those who love to travel and lead a meaningful life.

Nhi Dang's most memorable journey in 2017 was the 21-day trip to Iran with a group of close friends. During the trip, her horizon was broadened with unique experience at the Islamic country, historically known as Persia. In 2017, Nhi Dang posted her travel videos to share her unique experiences with others, and received positive feedback on social media. The "T©y Bæc - The old ways" clip was well-received on Facebook, and was among the best videos of the month on vimeo.com.

Nhi Dang said: "When you travel, you touch the meaning of life, broaden your senses, look deep into the world, listen to life and breath the aliveness of life. You travel to learn new things, open your heart widely and embrace challenges".

The �rst trip Bao went on was to Tibet when he was 31 years old, at a starting age considered much later than other travel bloggers. Bao traveled extensively within an incredibly short amount of time. For over 10 years, Bao has visited 72 countries and territories, and has been to �ve continents, large kingdoms, and historical regions.

Hoang Bao has always been deeply interested in the cultural aspect of his destinations.

Bao often travels to places where early civilizations emeged, from the Indo-Gangetic Plain in India, to the Mesopotamians in the Middle East, to the Inca in South America.

Other civilizations include along the legendary Nile River, the Roman empire in Italy, and some other civilizations in southern European countries.

Hoang Bao's biggest wish is to explore the world, and share his experiences with other travelers. "Traveling enables us to have an open mind and an open heart. It also helps broaden our horizon", shared Bao on the reason behind his travels. Bao is writing a book titled "Sinh ra Æ” b≠Ìc Æi trong trÍi" to inspire other travelers to do the same.

Thanh's most memorable trips are also her most challenging trips. In 2016, Thanh competed in the 4 Deserts Grand Slam, which is a 7-day and 250-km race at different locations in the most challenging climates: the hottest (Sahara), the most windy (Gobi), the driest (Atacama), and the coldest (Antartica) deserts. The total distance Thanh ran was 1,000km across the world's four most challenging locations. In 2017, Thanh completed her longest run in the red desert of Australia, a distance of 522km from Alice Springs to Uluru in 10 days.

Thanh is the �rst Asian woman to complete the 4 Deserts Grand Slam, and until today, there are only 13 women in the world having completed the race.

To Thanh, travel should be accompanied with social responsibilities, which is becoming a trend among young Vietnamese travelers. It is a postive trend and Thanh is glad to be a part of it.

Thanh shared, before competing in her �rst desert marathon, Thanh was able to raise over 120 million VND for the Rainbow Foundation to provide scholarships, and build schools and libraries for the ethnic minority children in the highlands.

Thanh added, travel bloggers like her could make many signi�cant changes to the community and society at large.

After posting a story on the fears that accompany youth on his personal blog, a book publisher suggested Co to write a book. The sudden idea made Co realize, "Why shouldn't I become an author?"

Co started writing 2 pages a day, and the book was completed within 2 months. The book is not only a travel memoir, but it also details a great friendship between Co and the two foreign friends he met during his trips. In the book, Co also includes some tips for young people to overcome their fears. The book is titled "TuÊi trŒ trong v›, bπn mua Æ≠Óc g◊", and is scheduled to debut this year.

Ly Thanh Co added, "Imagine yourself an empty book, and every journey you embark on will give you something to write and �ll a page."

Tam Bui started traveling when he was 29 years old. Tam wanted to visit as many any places as he could to learn about different cultures and satisfy his passion for photography. But the more Tam went, the more he realized, there is a larger unknown territory that needs exploring, the inside of his mind.

Three years later, Tam began to search within himself, and started learning about his own emotions, how they are formed, and how they work, to free himself from his emotions. Tam shared, "That's how I found true freedom." Tam added, "We have only one life, so live it to the fullest. Enjoy the present. When life is meaningful, the impossible will happen."

Cherishing his own life and cherishing others' is Tam Bui's life philosophy. When Tam made a pro�t from something, he often dedicated a part of the profit to his favorite charities. Tam either went to give people the direct support they need, or did so through reputable charitable organizations. At the end of his book launch for "BÙi Æ≠Íng tuÊi trŒ", Tam donated all of his royalties to the Operation Smile Charity which, according to him, is a social responsibility any travel blogger should take.

Thang's most challening journey is probably his trip to Longyearbyen, Svalbard, Norway (near the Arctic) at the end of 2012. Thang's most memorable trip during the last few years was to visit the Kazakh tribes in the Altai Mountain, western Mongolia, and the Tsaatan tribe in the taiga forest on the Mongolian and Russian border, next to Siberia in early 2017.

Thang has played an active role in the community since he was a student. Thang joined English clubs and, together with other international volunteers, helped providing support for many of Ho Chi Minh City's orphanage centers, as well as the Disabled People's Association, and the Association of the Elderly Single.

During the time Thang spent in Europe, he actively participated in numerous environmental and social programs such as "Say no to nylon bags", calling for gender equality in marriage in the Netherlands, joining a campaign to clean up the canals around Amsterdam, and calling to boycott the annual whale hunting festival in Norway.

Thang now lives in Danang, and he continues to participate in marathon events calling the community to preserve Son Tra Forest and the population of white-headed languars.

Hoang Oanh is one of the few travel bloggers who prefer to travel slow. Oanh often spends not weeks, but months in a foreign land to learn about the culture of that country. "The opportunity to eat, sleep, and live like a local is a truly unique experience," shared Hoang Oanh referring to the time she spent in San Francisco, USA. Oanh has visited over 50 countries and 100 cities around the world, and has been to four continents - an impressive number some might say. To Oanh, traveling is a way for travelers to preserve nature, and return the hospitality. Oanh spent a lot of her time doing volunteer works during her travels. Oanh once joined a charity organization in Kenya to teach children, provided health and education for the local women, and looked after them. Oanh also participated in the sea turtle preservation at a sea turtle care center in Costa Rica.

It is important to be who you are, independant, and taking an active role is the world. Hoang Oanh shared, "There are three things I think I do best: travel, write, and cook. I'm very fortunate to be able to do all those three things in my life."

Trung loves travel. Over the last few years, Trung noticed an increasing need for homestay services in houses or villas with a rustic feel and in harmony with nature. That was how Trung founded Urban Getaway.

The Urrban Getaway project has generated more jobs for locals, helped introduce local products to visitors, and raised awareness for nature and environmental issues.

Thuy Nguyen is both a painter and a fashion designer. Thuy's inspiration mainly comes from Vietnam's cultural elements, in which her designs balance the aspects between tradition and modernity.

After years getting caught up in the world of a painter, Thuy decided to venture into the world of fashion. In 2011, she successfully founded Thuy Design House, a high-end fashion line inspired by traditional elements combined with contemporary features. With bold designs woven on silk and brocade materials, Thuy Design collections, especially ao dai, have been featured on the runway of both domestic and international fashion shows. The elegant long dresses featured by the cast in the recently released popular Vietnamese film C´ Ba Sµi Gfln, were designed by Thuy Nguyen.

With almost 20 years experience working in art, Thuy understood the many challenges that young Vietnamese contemporary artists have to face. In 2016, Thuy founded The Factory Contemporary Arts Centre to create and host interdisciplinary comtemporary art and cultural activites, connecting artists and art lovers alike.

Thuy shared, "I cannot say that I've made a significant contribution to the Vietnamese art community. Whatever I do will never be enough. I strongly belileve however, only when we unite to put common interests above us, only then we can breakthrough and take many steps forward."

Stemmed form a love for children's paintings, Tflhe was founded after Nguyen took a trip to the Picasso Museum in Spain, and especially after reading the artist's famous quote, "It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child."

On his return to Vietnam, Nguyen started to organize creative activities, playgrounds, and drawing classes at many social protection centers, in which the products were printed with the children's paintings and sold. A part of the pro�t is deducted to make its way back to help the children. Today, Tflhe has been in operation for over 10 years.

The philosophy behind Tflhe is to spread the children's child-like spirit to everyone. Looking at the paintings, one would feel much happier and more in love with life. Tflhe has made changes in people's perceptions on the beauty as the child-like quality in children's paintings. Many paintings from autistic children have been sold by Tflhe with some costing several million dongs.

Nguyen is currently pursuing the project "Build a school with paintings", calling for the children to contribute using their creativity. Their �nished paintings can be sent to the Tflhe Bank.

The project is a nonpro�t project aimed to draw attention to the children's paintings. Pro�ts proceeding from the sale will be donated to the school building fund.

The biggest turning point was when Li Lam was pregnant with her son. Lam was forced to leave work and stay at home. For an entire year, Lam went in search of the right fabrics and a warehouse to produce her own designs. When Lam's son was born, her warehouse was �lled with clothes. Lam's journey began from there.

Lam had done a thorough research to understand her clients' need and deliver what is expected of her and her designs. Lam believes her success is largely due to her deep understanding both as a designer and a business person.

Lam will soon be lauching the Lam Fund with some friends to host artistic activities, and support young designers and art lovers in the realization of their dreams.

In 2018, Lam will be launching the "Lifestyle Consultancy Service by Li Lam" after three years of preparation. The service will provide consultation not only on clothing and personal images, but also on architecture and interior design for people. Li Lam has always been deeply interested in leaving a positive impact on the community.

Pham Huy was a former architect, who later ventured into wooden furniture. His current work includes the design and making process of wooden furnitures as well as finding the use for recycled natural woods. Huy hopes his work will play a signi�cant part in the protection of the environment.

The products that Huy designs and makes boast a higher value than the average piece of furniture. Huy noted that it is important for his carpenters and handicraft makers get the pay they deserve, so that they can lead a stress-free life, and make top quality products. Huy takes extra special care in the vocational training and production process of his staffs to ensure the products are made to perfection, much like those made overseas, to target a high end market.

To Pham Huy, his passion makes up 80% and creativity 20% in his success. Huy's work is separated into two phases. The �rst is to remake the furnitures designed in developed countries such as the Northern Europe or China. Later, Huy is looking to create and make his own designs. Huy believes one's passion is the key to success.

Began in the early 20th century, Hang Luoc Flower Market is known as the oldest flower market in Hanoi, and is open only once a year from the 23rd to the 30th of the twelfth lunar month before Tet.

Hanoians come to the market to not only buy the � owers, but also relive sweet memories of their childhood when they used to follow their mothers to the market, and were taken by the amazing dispaly of � owers from peonies, to chrysanthemums, to violets, and to gladioli, all wrapped beautifully in the dark green dong leaves. I used to follow my grandfather and father to the market to help them pick a peach blossom branch, a kumquat tree, and a small pot of daffodil to offer to our ancestors on the altar. The most recognized flower is the peach blossom of the North. Tet would not be complete without a peach blossom branch! They can be found in colors ranging fom pink to light pink. The sight of the peach blossom and the often drizzling rain of spring creates a truly special atmosphere. In addition to fresh � owers, arti� cial flowers in all sorts of colors, made by the hands of talented craftsmen, are also sold in abundance at the market.

The Tet � ower market is like a harmonious melody of colors, and the crowds of people who visit the market large blocks of paints. Clothing in different colors can be seen woven together into a vivid picture of colors against the silver gray weather background of spring.

At the Tet market, you will � nd flowers, and everything you need for a happy Tet including material and spiritual items from dried bamboo shoots, biscuits, candied fruits, sweet soups, to traditional medicines, to vases, to clothing for children and the elderly. Humbly displayed at a small stall in a corner of the market are red and green paper votive offerings as well as fragant incense. The smell and smoky sight of Tet incense can warm one's heart, and make people feel truly at peace.

Tet market would not be complete without the corner of the old scholars who draw beautiful old characters on red papers, in which the wishes and dreams of the buyer are carried - bringing closer the unmistakably joyful vibe of Tet. Tet market seems to never get old, and to this day, remains such a � ne and charming tradition of the Hanoian that returns every spring.

E X PER I EN CE T ET I N TH E H EAR T OF S AI G ON 'S CH I N ATOWN Like most cities around the world, Saigon has its own Chinatown, where generations of Chinese have lived. From typical Chinese decorations, to colorful and eye-catching shops, to rhythmic music as well as unique communal activities, Cho Lon is a must-visit attraction to explore, especially in the days leading up to Tet.

From various shopping stalls, to hundreds of types of Tet decorations, to fortunetelling markets, to unique temples and pagodas, Saigon's Chinatown - Cho Lon, is one of the most interesting places to visit this Lunar New Year.

The Saigon people once had an old saying, "To eat you must go to District 5, to sleep District 3, to enjoy luxury District 1, and to experience robbery District 4."

Cho Lon, therefore, has become a mustvistit destination for when one is hungry, and in need of truly tasty food.

Walking along the main roads of District 5 from Hai Thuong Lan Ong, Chau Van Liem to Tran Hung Dao, you will likely �nd a number of stalls selling all sorts of Tet items from gold coins, to joss papers, to wall paintings, to lucky envelopes, all colorfully dangled in front of the shops, while their grounds are covered with mascot statues, opposing verses, �recrackers, and beautiful apricot blossom branches.

If you are lucky, you will get to enjoy and participate in amazing Lunar New Year festivities such as the dragon dance, floating candles, calligraphy writing, painting, and �shing. Some might think when you live in this city long enough, there is nothing left for you to see, but that could not be more wrong. The longer you stay, the more you realize there are, in fact, plenty of things for you to explore around Saigon.

Come to Cho Lon, you will get to enjoy tasty street foods, buy various Tet items, and admire, as well as understand, more about Chinatown's amazing architectual heritage. I visited several pagodas and temples to offer burning incense in hope for peace, and relive some old memories of the past.

The Chinese community in Cho Lon worship gods and patron deities in their temples, who were often excellent individuals that helped hundreds of thousands of people in need, and therefore were later worshiped as deities. Among those is Quan Cong or Zihuang, a military general of the state of Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period of China. Another deity is Bao Gong or Bao Zheng, a legendary government of�cer known for his extreme honesty and uprightness.

The unique architecture of Thien Hau Temple.

Or Zheng He, formerly known as Cheng Ho, a famous Chinese admiral and explorer who helped bring order to the Chinese communities wherever he went.

And Mazu, a Chinese sea goddess who protected helpless sailors in trouble at sea through miraculous interventions.

One might mistake the similarity in architecture among assembly halls and temples here, but each of them, sophisticated as they are, tells a different story. The details on the roof of a temple can tell a lot about the wealth of that community as well as its roots.

The Hokkien architectural style features a swallowtail roof which has an upwardcurving ridge shaped like the tail of a swallow, and lion sculptures in stone to guard the entrance. Such features can be found on On Lang Assembly Hall (Quan Am Pagoda) and Ha Chuong Assembly Hall. The roofs are steeper and more curved than usual. The roof tiles are shaped like waves, recalling a period when the Chinese fled their own country in search of a better place to settle down, just like how the Hoklo people arrived in Vietnam.

The Minh huong, descendants of the Ming from China, on the other hand, like to decorate their communal temples (typically the Minh Huong Gia Thanh Communal Temple) with meaningful opposing verses, hung all around. Thien Hau Temple, one of the oldest temples in Cho Lon, built by the Cantonese community, features yin-yang clay roof tiles, and small delicately fashioned porcelain �gurines expressing themes from Chinese legends.

For those who happen to visit Cho Lon during this special occasion, do not forget to pay a visit to the unique Cha Tam Church or Church of St. Francisco Javier, located near the end of Tran Hung Dao Street. Boasting a mixed architectural style between the East and West cultures, Cha Tam Church features yin-yang

your health. At the corner of Nguyen Trai is where you can try the tasty �shball curry, a famous street snack from Hong Kong.

After visiting the church, you can take a leisurely stroll around the old Chinese apartments, located on the over 100 year-old alley of Hao Si Phuong. Built in the 1910s, the alley was ďŹ rst inhabited by Teochew and Hainan people until 1975 with most working as hired laborers.

Last but not least, you must try the delicious sweet soup on Tran Hung Dao Street. Most sweet soups in Cho Lon contain less sugar, less fat, and no coconut milk like the majority of Vietnamese sweet soups.

Some types of sweet soup sold here even have a slightly bitter taste from the extracts of ginkgo and guilinggao. Black seasame soup is another must-try dish. Sweet soups are interestingly pleasant dishes that can be enjoyed either hot or cold.

The Saigon people once had an old saying, "To eat you must go to District 5, to sleep District 3, to enjoy luxury District 1, and to experience robbery District 4." Cho Lon, therefore, has become a must-visit destination for when one is hungry, and in need of truly tasty food.

You will be able to enjoy the freshest of noodles made on the spot on traditional trolleys. The noodles are made entirely by hands from scratch, and they sell out quickly within the day. With such a chewy and tender taste, the noodles pair perfectly with duck or char siu. The cozy setting will remind you of your favorite TVB drama. The braised herbal chicken which include herbs from goji, gan di huang, jujube, to ginkgo, and does not only taste delicious with such sweet and tender meat, but is also good for

Rarely will you find such a unique city like Saigon with an interesting mix of different cultures.

Each district is like a "little town" of a different community. Cho Lon is an attraction worth visiting when in Saigon, especially on the occasion of Tet. You will get to not only explore a fascinating culture, but also purchase many decorative items for the New Year. You can visit a number of markets such as the fortune telling market on Chau Van Liem, textile market on Soai Lam, materials market on Dai Quang Minh, Chinese medicine market on Hai Thuong Lan Ong, and silver gold market on Nhieu Tam - Nghia Thuc.

A jOURNEY

Unlike most of the destination articles we have written on Travellive, this time, the story of Phan Cac Truc, a Travellive reporter, who traveled to Burma with her friends, flows naturally like a poem. It is the journey of a group of young people from stars to actors to painters, who all share a passion for art, creativity, and the desire to explore the world.

Was the song we listened to while traveling along the river in Mandalay, while watching the sunset re�ecting its many streaks of colors onto the beautifully clear water. Sunset in Burma was so amazing that my friend Quang Dai exclaimed, "Look at how the end of something could be so beautiful!"

AN UNPLANNED AND RANDOM TRIP Our trip to Burma was decided on the spur of the moment. One evening while having dinner together, I suggested to the rest the group, "Burma seems like a pretty interesting place to visit. Why don't we plan a trip together soon?" Dai quickly replied, "Let's book the tickets now!" Trang did not hesitate for one second, and chimed in eagerly, "I'm in!", and just like that, we had a holiday.

With no planning and not even bothered to do any research on the mysterious country of Burma, we simply packed our bags, and headed to the airport.

Our �rst impression was that Burma turned out to be less magical than we had expected it to be. Our trip from the airport to the capital of Yangon was �lled with annoying honking horns, and terrible traf�c jams. We even saw a man spitting out his chewed betel quid from his car window before realizing that we had been ripped off by our taxi driver as we paid 20,000Kyat (equivalent to 400,000VND) instead of the usual 7,000Kyat fare (perhaps even cheaper with a Grab taxi) to the city center.

The city of Yangon has an old colonial charm like Saigon in the 1990s with children playing in the streets free of care, and the food sellers using their bare hands to mix the food. We could hear murmuring sounds in the distance from old buildings full of tenants hanging clothes.

THE TRANQUILITY OF YANGON Burma has a large network of alleys. Along the mossy walls were the street food stalls that sold everything from mango and salted chilli to boiled water caltrops to grilled meat. In the morning, you will likely �nd a group of tiny monks wrapped in pink robes, going on an almsround to ask for food, and chanting for peace. I did not understand the meaning of the sutra they were chanting, but the rhythmic sound was soothing enough to brighten our �rst day in Burma, and �ll us with a sense of inner tranquility.

The temple we visited in Yangon was a small temple with less tourists than others, but surrounding the temple were thousands of pigeons. They were on the ground, and on the cable lines at every intersection, looking like dark clutters of clouds in the middle of the street. While Trang was busy taking pictures of the birds, Mai tried to spread some food around evenly for them. Dai on the other hand, went quickly into hiding as he was afraid of the birds.

to remove your shoes and socks when entering temples where you will be asked the day of your birth to determine which god you should pray to. In Vietnam, the month of birth of either the Gregorian or lunar calendar is more important while the Burmese calculate their birth date based on the day of the week of which you were born. In Burma, every day of the week is believed to mean a different thing, and it can tell a lot about the personality of a person. Each day of the week is blessed by a different god, except for Wedneday which is blessed by two: one for morning and one for afternoon - known as Yar Hu or Rahu.

The god to worship for those who are born on Sunday is Garuda - a half human and half bird creature, Monday a tiger, Tuesday a lion, Wednesday morning a tusked elephant, Wednesday afternoon an elephant without tusk, Thursday a rat, Friday a guinea pig, and Saturday a naga (snake).

STORIES OF NO BEGINNING OR END Our trip to Burma, as described by Dai, was like the journey of a lost story that you might have read a long time ago, but cannot remember the details.

Left in your memory are only names, storylines, and scents. I especially loved conversations that have neither beginning nor end, and aimless promises to give each other a bag of banh cua, or the grumbling sound that came from one another signaled the hunger of our companions.

The time we spent together in Bagan was such an unforgettable experience as we wrapped ourselves in a small blanket while sitting on top of an ancient temple to watch the amazing sunrise, and hot air balloons. We wandered around the whole area of the Bagan Archaeological Zone including Old Bagan, New Bagan, and NangU.

I bought a small log of Thanaka, which became a fun thing to play with for the group. No one was initially interested in having their face covered in Thanaka. But later on, when learning that Thanaka was the beauty secret of the Burmese which has been around for 2000 years, everyone was eager to grind the dried Thanaka bark into a paste on a circular slate slab, and then smear it onto each other's face, cheeks, nose, and even eyelids.

It was an incredible experience to wander in a new land, chat with strangers, join a quiz at a local bar, and enjoy authentic Shan noodles.

I will never forget the days we spent �ghting over each other to see who would get to eat the instant noodles we brought along, singing the song "Come away with me" (Norah Jones), catching the breezy wind, or gazing at the starry sky. I am certain that those memories will never repeat, just like the sand of time one can never stop with their hands. Our youth will be gone one day, but the memory of my friend's terrible singing, and smokey smell will always remain.

There is something so unexplainably engrossing about the sky in Burma. We visited the stunning white pagoda of Hsinbyume in Mandalay on our last day before hiring a boat to cruise along the Irrawaddy River to watch the sun silently and beaut�ully set over the BerlinU wooden bridge, the longest bridge made of teak in the world which is 1.2 kilometer long. Time seemed to stop for a moment.

We then decided to cite a poem that perfectly suited to the picturesque setting.

"When we were young With heart like a window Embracing the wind Wishing to go away To some far away place When we were young With a simple mind and a self-centered heart Needed only a job to go on living A person to love And little trips to travel on the weekends."

Holi is a traditional Hindu festival that marks the arrival of spring. It is celebrated by people throwing colored powder on each other as a gesture of friendliness to shorten the gap between the rich and the poor, forget and forgive, play and laugh. All over India is submerged into a vibrant "battle" of color. The age-old festival also signifies the triumph of good over evil.
