Make a decision to visit a new place and you will have begun writing your own lifestory.
In this century of technology and high-speed connections, you can travel around the world with the click of a mouse. All the data from the cuisine to the cultural development of the land, are on your screen immediately upon typing a few characters into the search box. But how long will this stay with you? The things you have just seen, the dreamlands of your fantasies, all fade away someday. However, when you finally make a decision (even when people call it crazy) to dismiss all your hesitation to visit a new place and explore a new culture in a different climate and time, you will have begun writing your own life-story. Visit a mysterious cave and simply sit, silently to contemplate one of nature’s masterpieces. All the digital images you have seen and articles you have read about it will be nothing. And there’s no film that brings you the true feelings of swimming with colorful fishes in the Indian Ocean or witnessing a mother penguin’s tough love as she teaches her children to walk on ice. As I’m finishing this piece of writing, the sunlight has already begun to warm up the street. I’m going to discuss the next trip with my friend. And you, our dearest readers, have you got your own plans? Close your laptop, prepare your luggage, and get ready for your journey! We wish you luck and happiness as you embark on your new journeys.

A TASTE OF MOC CHAU If you have ever visited Moc Chau plateau (Son La) and been mesmerized by its charming beauty, you'll know that it's hard to forget the unique flavors of the cuisine here. Moc Chau Veal, one of these specialties, is the inspiration of Wink Restaurant. The secret that makes the veal dishes here different from others is the natural sweetness of the Dutch veal blended with exotic local spices and greens such as mac khen extract oil, doi seeds, clausena indica, honey grass, bo khai, and more. More than 40 finely prepared dishes will take you on a journey through various culinary styles from Asian - Western grilled veal, northwest barbecue, and traditional barbecue, to steamed veal, stews, semi-steamed veal with lime, etc. (WINK RESTAURANT - MOC CHAU VEAL *40 Nguyen Sieu, Hoan Kiem Dist., Hanoi *Tel: 04 3266 8610) HCMC

such as the pork bologna and bacon are homemade. Moreover, what makes Banh Nam's patees special are the traditional spices and herbs no longer used in industrially produced patees. Banh Nam's restaurants are open 24 hours and offers 5 types of Vietnamese sandwiches, 5 kinds of fast food, 5 desserts,
and an array of drinks. Diners can enjoy their favorites at any time. For practical purposes, all restaurants are small takeaway ones. (BANH NAM *151A Xo Viet Nghe Tinh, Ward 17, Binh Thanh Dist., HCMC *Website: www.banhnam.vn)
Situated on a quiet road in the bustling city center, Si Restaurant attracts diners with its artistic atmosphere full of pictures, antiques, porcelains, and ceramics. Each item is a story about a different historical period and culture. You can try items from the restaurant's seasonal menu in a stylish and compact interior that will surprise you every time you visit. Every detail from the color of the cups, the vases on tables, and ceiling lamps to the way they select each glass for your meal is done meticulously. Si Restaurant is an ideal place for those who love traditional Vietnamese cuisine fused with contemporary styles. On these sunny days of March, why don't you taste the veggie rolls, farcies along with the prawn stuffed pumpkins and a cup of homemade yogurt?

Mint Cupcake Creations (Mint) is a popular brand favored by young people and also one of few bakeries that focuses on one product alone - cupcakes. Mint introduced and created its own brand name by changing the common notion that cupcakes are a "safe" choice. Mint has created a new demand for cupcakes by introducing unique flavors like apple, peppermint, and even spicy chili, alongside the classics such as chocolate, vanilla and matcha. The acquisition of Mint Cupcake Creations by KAfe Group has been exciting and inspirational for both companies. While the existing flavors will remain unchanged, more exciting flavors will be introduced with interesting combinations of KAfe Group's ingredients. Mint Cupcake Creations will open more outlets in Hanoi and plans to expand to Saigon by the end of the year.

FORGET ALL YOUR WEARINESS AND ENJOY A POOL PARTY! Text: Zukhra Tatybayeva Photos: Saigon Soul
Like many expats living in Ho Chi Minh City, I often go out to make friends, chill out, and relax after a long day at work. The Saigon Soul Pool Party, an effervescent open space poolside party held on weekends in the heart of the city is my new destination of choice.
SAIGON SOUL POOL PARTY: ü New World Hotel, 76 Le Lai, Dist. 1, HCMC EVENT: ü News and up-coming events are updated on www. saigonsoul.com TIME: ü Saigon Soul Pool Party opens from November 2015 to mid-May 2016 PROMOTIONS: ü Join the Saigon Soul Kissing Campaign! As Travellive’s readers, you can share your love by posting a Instagram photo of you kissing poolside and tag at #SaigonSoul, or at #Travellive and receive a free drink!
After coming here once, I could not stop coming again and again. Located in the New World Hotel at the core of Distr. 1, hundreds of people gather in the daytime from 10 to 10 every Saturday to enjoy a good selection of food, cold drinks, and release stress by swimming in the cool large pool as a cool escape from the scorching Saigon heat. Originally serving as a weekend getaway exclusively for expats, Saigon Soul is hands down the favorite place for expats and locals alike. Holding up to 900 guests, Saigon Soul has become one of the biggest attractions that Saigon has to offer. Every party for Saigon Soul has up to 10 DJs playing back-to-back noncommercial sets with one day of hip-hop every month. With good vibes, fun people, and a stellar performance lineup, what more could music fans want? Drinks start at a mere VND50,000 but Saigon Soul can also accommodate the most refined palates with wine and champagne. The weekly specials offer a mouth-watering selection of both Vietnamese and Western cuisine in fusion style so there is no difficulty finding something
that fits your tastes for both breakfast and lunch. With the ultimate poolside entertainment, Saigon Soul is defined by its great party atmosphere. The hotel has an expertly designed layout with terraces, and passing from one area to the next is like entering a whole new world. While there, you might hear the 5 VIP cabanas calling for you like sirens to kick back and relax on their soft voluptuous cushions. The cabanas offer extravagant luxury with 25 sun beds, 30 bean bag chairs, and lots of tables to sit at and chat with your new friends. With the ambiance of great tunes, refreshing drinks, and a cozy feel everyone is sure to have a great time. The party was founded by Dallas and Susan, two Canadians who have been living in Vietnam for nearly 3 years. They are excellent hosts and give special attention to every guest no matter how packed the party gets. The people at Soul love the idea of bringing lots of different people together, and the party is highly rated by TripAdviser. Drawing inspiration from the great success of Saigon Soul, there will soon be similarly themed Manila Soul, KL Soul, and Singapore Soul parties. And you, if you want to find your oasis to wipe out all your fatigue, refill your energy and get inspired to make new friends, Saigon Soul Pool Party is ready for you every Saturday. Come out for sunshine! See you poolside!

rtists who specialize in chocolate confection are called chocolatiers, and the men and women in this field spend years honing their crafts for good reasons. Making good chocolate isn't simple. Firstly, the cocoa beans must be carefully selected to ferment evenly. Chocolate made from Vietnamese cocoa beans boasts signature flavors particular to each region. Cocoa beans from the land of fruits and honey near Tien River have a strong, bitter flavor while those harvested in Ba Ria - Vung Tau sustain a long aftertaste which develops and intensifies as you let it sit in your mouth. Like coffee, the roasting process plays a significant role in ensuring the best quality cocoa. At this stage, the cocoa beans are crispy, aromatic, and easily crushed. High quality cocoa is slightly bitter with a buttery taste. After that, the beans are mashed into concentrated liquid called chocolate liquor. The finely mashed cocoa is melted down before being fermented, mixed, and separated from the cocoa butter. After cooling and shaping, the chocolate bars are finally ready to be packaged. After the chocolatiers finish their work, the chocolate bars are transported to pastry chefs, or pŠtissier, to compose the "melodies of taste", offering each diner a different impression of the same chocolate from a hot and crispy chocolate cover to an oleaginous chocolate cream and mouth watering

Spend one day at Le Bleu and you'll see it's not necessary to go any further to find tranquility since happiness radiates from each corner of the house, from the soft bed and the sunny balcony to the fresh colored leaves and flowers. Curl up on a couch with a good book, sip your hot tea, listen some melodies, and your day just passes peacefully as all the stressful and mundane facts of life slip away. There are occasional workshops held by Le Bleu and if you are lucky enough, you will have a chance to be an "apprentice" and learn skills such as how to make perfume or write calligraphy. Le Bleu's guests come from around the world, and once they visit, they want to come back again and again. Some Hanoi locals also enjoy spending their days here, just to "losing" their life in the intimate yet stylish space of Le Bleu. Unlike a hotel or a coffee shop, Le Bleu Homestay is a great getaway for you to "escape" from the bustling city life. Stay here, live slowly, and savor each moment as though drinking tea with your book in hand as you contemplate the gentle beams of sunlight shining through the window slits is the most serious part of your day.

Hue is one of the few “festival cities” in Vietnam. The city is a great place for traditional Vietnamese festivals as well as an array of tourist activities that juxtapose eastern and western culture. Unlike other cities in Vietnam, which have altered considerably with the ups and downs of history, Hue has preserved the perennial beauty of its architectural and cultural treasures. This heritage city also boasts 127km of coastline with beautiful beaches - which promises to help develop the city’s beach tourism. The spectacular Lang Co Bay, Bach Ma National Park, and Tam Giang Lagoon - the largest lagoon system in Vietnam - are must-visit destinations.

To visit the inner relics, you need to circle about to cross though the three layers of ramparts: Kinh Thanh (Hue Capital Citadel), Hoang Thanh (Royal Citadel) and Tu Cam Thanh (Forbidden Citadel). The Royal Citadel consists of more than100 fascinating architectural works divided into numerous subsections. The Ngo Mon Gate and the Thai Hoa Palace were used for various grand ceremonies. Trieu Mieu, Thai Mieu, Hung Mieu, The Mieu, and Phung Tien temples are dedicated to the shrines of kings from the Nguyen Dynasty. The portion with the internal affairs office includes a storehouse for precious items and a workshop for manufacturing various useful articles. The Kham Van Palace and Co Ha Garden are where princes used to study and relax. Passing through the Royal Citadel, visitors can enter Tu Cam Thanh (the Forbidden Citadel) which is just past Thai Hoa Palace. Including about 50 structures of stunning beauty, this was the place for kings and their family. The Hue Museum of Royal Antiques is a must-visit place that no visitor travelling to Hue should skip. It is a gallery of antiques displaying hundreds of rare antiques from the Nguyen Dynasty such as the commissioned Porcelain used in daily royal meals and parties, silverware, Bronze Artifacts, Phap Lam enamel, wooden furniture, and royal ornamentation of silver and gold, and painted glass. More than a museum, the Hue Museum of Royal Antiques helps visitors imagine what royal life was like during the Nguyen Dynasty.

FURTHER INFORMATION
tHe Royal tombs - tHe anCIent aRCHIteCtURal masteRPIeCes The royal tombs of the Nguyen Dynasty are important parts of the complex of Hue monuments. The Nguyen Dynasty had 13 kings; however, because of historical context, there are only 7 tombs intact today, the tombs of Emperor Gia Long (1814-1820), Emperor Minh Mang (1840-1843), Emperor Thieu Tri (1847), Emperor Tu Duc (1864-1867), Emperor Dong Khanh (1888), Emperor Duc Duc (1889), and Emperor Khai Dinh (1920-1931). The most architecturally sophistocated of these royal tombs are those of Emperor Minh Mang, Emperor Tu Duc, and Emperor Khai Dinh. Tu Duc Tomb contains beautiful gardens and landscaping, conveying a sense of tranquility. Within the tomb is Minh Khiem Duong, the oldest theater in Vietnam, which used to entertain Emperor Tu Duc. It’s also the only theater built inside a royal tomb, contributing to its distinctive cultural interest.
ü POSITION: Tombs are located in the southwestern part of Hue city. The best starting point is Dan Nam Giao at the end of Dien Bien Phu Street. From here, you can easily travel to all tombs. ü TIME: It takes about 2 days to visit all 7 royal tombs, one day for the far away tombs including Gia Long, Minh Mang, and Khai Dinh tombs and one for the others. If your time is limited, you can choose to visit the 3 largest tombs: Minh Mang Tomb, Tu Duc Tomb, and Khai Dinh Tomb. Tombs close at 5pm everyday. ü ENTRANCE FEES FOR ROUTES: 3-destination route (Royal Citadel of Hue city - Minh Mang Tomb - Khai Dinh Tomb) VND280,000/adult and VND55,000/child; 4-destination route (Royal Citadel of Hue City - Minh Mang Tomb - Tu Duc Tomb - Khai Dinh Tomb): VND360,000/ adult and 70VND/child ü NOTICE: You should bring hats, umbrella, water, suitable shoes and sandals as you need walk a lot.

It is no exaggeration to say that Hue’s royal cuisine has reached the level of high art.

The culinary expert, Ho Thi Hoang Anh, a descendant of Ho Van Ta - the last royal chef of the Nguyen Dynasty - explains that “there were at least 50 people worked together to prepare a meal for the King. The team had to follow strict rules and rituals to insure that all dishes were safe. They even had to work with royal doctors to make sure that nutritious ingredients were chosen that did not class with eachother.” Further information: You can try royal cuisine at Y Thao Restaurant (3 Thach Hanm Thuan Hoa) or Tinh Gia Vien Restaurant (7/28 Le Thanh Ton, Hue)

Though guests sleep in tents, they are spaced out generously for privacy and provide guests with all the comforts they have come to expect of the Four Seasons. Each tent features its own distinctions inspired by 19th century adventure expeditions with handcrafted furniture, hardwood floors, hurricane lamps, luxurious king-size beds, and a large copper bathtub. In the open space, you can lie on the sundeck while enjoying a traditional Thai massage or relax in a wooden bathtub or at the outdoor rain-shower.

Travellers of Vang Vien are advised to be careful for three reasons: a lot of parties with the large amounts of alcoholic beverages, underwater rocks, and the range of outdoor activities.
VANG VIENG, LAOS PRISTINE AND WILDZ
N
ot boasting world heritage sites and huge tourist attractions like Luang Prabang or Vientiane, Vang Vieng instead charms visitors with its majestic mountains and pristine beauty. Unlike other sites, the hiking trails leading up into the mountains here haven’t been spoiled by excessive tourism. The path leading to the peak of Pha Ngeun is a typical example. 4km down the road from Mayline Guesthouse, you will see the wooden board guiding you to a village of the H’mong people. Park at the toll station and begin your journey. For those who love trekking, it’s only a 25 minute hike to the top of Pha Ngeun. A great panoramic view of the neighboring mountains is the reward for your toil. Travellers of Vang Vien are advised to be careful for three reasons: a lot of parties with the large amounts of alcoholic beverages, underwater rocks, and the range of outdoor activities. That said, there’s something for every thrill seeker whether you are into cycling, trekking, kayaking, climbing, or enjoying the zipline, hot air ballooning, or - the most special one - tubing.
This riverside town in Central Laos may be one of the few places in Southeast Asia where you can go tubing. In 1999, a farm owner had an idea for how volunteers could relax on the river, floating on rubber innertubes. Tubing soon became one the most popular tourist activities in the area and no visitor to Vang Vieng should miss out. Tubing is simply lying on a donut shaped buoy as you are carried down a river. Get on a tuk-tuk to the assembly point, and you can float along the river with a rental float (costing only 65,000 kip) and a waterproof bag (15,000 kip). The best time to go tubing is from noon til 4pm. The Tubing center might not be open earlier and it is unsafe to float at night. The town is small enough to walk across. If you want to visit villages of the Laos, Kmou, and Hmong people or explore the mountains and hidden caves, you can rent a bicycle (20,000 kip/day) or motorbike (40,00060,000 kip/12 hours). And if you are planning to spend a day here, then Tham Poukham - Blue Lagoon is the best and safest choice. Just 7km away from the town center is a lake, a zipline for those who’re not afraid of heights, and some hidden tracks inside Tham Poukham Cave.

Australian coasline. These cruise ships often anchor by night along beaches such as Whitehaven, Cid Harbor, and Butterfly Bay as they make their stops. Another way to take in the beauty of the reefs is by joining one of the tours in a glass-bottom boat. You can find these at central beaches such as Cairns, Port Douglas, Townsville, Bundaberg, Rockhampton, Mackay, as well as Mission, and Airlie. For discovering marine life, a diving tour is the best. From Cairns, you can go diving around Agincourt reefs. Capricorn and Bunker reefs are near Gladstone. The Great Barrier Reef is home to more than 360 species of coral, 1,500 species of fish, 4,000 types of mollusk, and 200 species of birds. If you are lucky, you may catch a glimpse of some interesting marine animals like seaturtles, seahorses, and dolphins while exploring the colorful coral slits near Lady Elliot and Lady Musgrave Islands.

TRANQUILITY AT THE END OF THE WORLD
NOTE ü TIME: November to March or April is the best time to travel to Patagonia. ü ITINERARY: You can fly from either Hanoi or HCMC to Argentina with Vietnam Airlines, United Airlines, Bangkok Airways, or Thai Airways. There are no direct routes from Vietnam to Chile. You can fly to Santiago, Chile with Qantas Airline from Sydney (Australia) . In Chile, Navimag (www.navimag.com) is the most popular company for operating ferries from Puerto Montt to Puerto Natales, Chile, near Torres del Paine. ü CURRENCY: 1USD ~ 14.79 peso (Argentina) ~ 708.79 Peso (Chile) ü NOTES: ü Patagonia is the most expensive place in Argentina. In big cities, a high-class hotel room costs about USD180 for a couple. In provinces, you can stay at a good hotel for USD90/room/couple and USD20-50 for extra services.
Known as “the end of the world”, Patagonia is 1,000km away from the South Pole. Interestingly, this land is shared between two countries, Chile and Argentina. There are so many marvelous things to experience on your journey, such as enjoying lunch in the Anes along a massive stone mountain or relaxing by the icebergs on Perito Moreno - a gem of Glacier National Park. It’s also a little known fact that Patagonia is one of the best places on earth for whale watching. Moreover, when you reach “the end of the world”, don’t forget to visit Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world, or stop by the marble cave on the chrystal clear Carrera Lake on the border of Chile and Argentina. Another location, Torres del Paine National Park with its strange scenery has been described as a gate leading into another world. You can walk, sail, ride horses, and go camping to explore all the diverse beauty that Torres del Paine has to offer. Interested in Patagonia cuisine? You can visit Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina to taste traditional dishes such as pasta, grilled lamb, and corn cakes. TRAVELLIVE

the world’s third largest cave, behind Son Doong and Deer Cave (Malaysia). It’s one of Vietnam’s many must see wonders. The starting point is Ba Giang slope. It takes about two hours to climb the mountain, following switchbacks up the 60 degree slopes. After that, you will reach Rao Thuong Valley, and the clear stream will lead you to Doong village where the Bru - Van Kieu people live. After two hours of slogging though streams under the hot sun, you will be thoroughly rewarded with a sweeping panoramic view of the surrounding area with green mountains and centuries old trees emerging from the dense forests. The main entrance of En Cave appears at the end of the valley. The way the sun lights up the campsite at the mouth of the cave is a remarkable sight. From a high position in the cave, you can contemplate the white sand around the little jade pond. Along the stretch of sand your tents are already set up by porters. There are two ponds inside the cave, one is cold and the other is warm. This is an ideal place to go for a dip and enjoy nature with a barbecue dinner. The first day of your journey culminates with the flavor of rice wine in the beautiful cave.
THE THIRD LARGEST CAVE IN THE WORLD
T
o conquer En Cave, you have to be up for 2 days and a night of trekking along the 22km trail through rugged forest in the scorching heat and over dozens of streams as well as a couple of hours groping about in dark caves. So challenging yet so exciting! Located in the center of Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park, En Cave is
On the second day (with full equipment including headed flashlights, helmets, and gloves), tourists can climb over the uneven cliffs, go deep into the cave, see fossils over 300 million years old. As you gaze upon giant stalactites, ask about the stories of the Arem people and learn about their May festival during the full moon or about the custom of eating swallows. After an hour of hiking and climbing, you will reach the back door of the cave through a narrow path. The cave’s ceiling gets higher and higher until splashes of sunlight finally shine through. Upon reaching the top, you’ll want to take pictures of the surreal scene and impressive vegetation before you.

or me, taking photos along The Ganges through Varanasi is the most energy consuming thing I’ve ever done. Not for any obvious reason, whenever passing a burning ghat on the bank of Ganges, I feel exhausted, I get headache and want to vomit. I’m sure that I’m not afraid of the images or the smell of burning bodies, but I can’t explain why I get those feelings. An Indian boy who is about 23 years old explained the meaning of this ceremony and led me to witness all stages of cremating a body. Each ghat’s capacity is about 300 bodies per day. After spending time here, I felt like there was no blood left inside me. The Ganges River is exactly what I had imagined it to be; however, what we can see is like the tip of a floating iceberg. Beneath the surface of these images is a journey in the footsteps of true monks whom you can’t meet without considerable patience. To understand the river and people here, some weeks isn’t enough. You have to spend at least 4 months here like Julia Roberts! One afternoon, after growing tired of taking photos, I sat on the riverbank watching passersby. At that time, an Indian man from New Delhi came and started chatting with me. He seemed uneasy and after a long conversation I understood what he was concerned about. While Buddhists venerate Siddhartha Gautama, there is only one Jesus in Christianity, and Alla is the Islamic name for the Supreme Being, but there are 200,000 Hindu gods in his hometown. “Now I just know Brama since I can’t remember all of the Gods”, he said.

erhaps, this is a key to why Indian society is so complicated, their religion is so diverse and complex. Locals manage to worship a multitude of gods at any given time, and then religious conflicts occur. That “Ganga” has practiced Yoga for 20 years. I asked what he saw when mediating on the river bank. “Roaring tigers”, he said. He went on to explain that when humans associate with the Supreme Being, the universal energy flows into them and the tigers he see are one face of that energy. However, each person perceives that energy differently. This reminds me of Eat, Pray & Love, a book about Elizabeth Gilbert’s journey through many countries. Liz Gilbert has experienced the same things when she studied at a monastery in Mumbai. People come to The Ganges to ask their own questions about life, yet how many ones have already been answered? This is the first time I’ve experienced the vast expanses of Indian culture and religion. I hope that someday I can come back and have enough time to see what answers to my own questions The Ganges might be hiding.

When the bell rings for the first warm spell of spring, the grey sky gets brighter. Spring arrives bringing colorful flowers and countless festivals with it. This time of year, Korea’s nature and people both excitedly greet the return of spring. By: Nu Nguyen Photo: Korea Tourism Organization

Ideal places to celebrate the cherry blossom season The two most talked about places to welcome the cherry blossom season are Gyeongju and Busan.
Cherry blossom season When spring returns to Korea, flowers, after months of being dormant, bloom again like in any other place. Cherry blossoms here cover the mountainsides, haules of stream and roadsides with its pinkish white petals. Depending on the weather, cherry trees might flower as late as March or April. The whole tree turns into a mass of delicate pink or white cherry blossom petals. Let’s all imagine for a moment that we’re wandering under the cherry trees and a gentle breeze carrying the sweet floral fragrance causes a shower of cherry blossoms to fall upon us. The scene is so wonderful that we are forced to look up in amazement at what we see: The grey sky is gone and in its place now are the warmly pinkish white petals. What a scene! Cherry trees grow almost everywhere around Korea. Each region has its own festivals to celebrate the coming of spring, but particularly the arrival of cherry blossom season. Family, friends, and couples walk under the flourishing trees in the cool weather of early spring, then settle somewhere to enjoy tea amidst the beauty of nature.

Come to Gyeongju, slow down in the tranquil atmosphere here, and contemplate the ancient beauty of the old capital. The two colors adorning Gyeongju’s spring inauguration are the warm yellow of colza flowers and the subtly pink white of the cherry blossoms. Watching cherry flowers in such a solemn scene as the Silla’s ancient capital is so different from doing so in one of Korea’s bustling cities. The serene Bomun Lake with the famous Bomun gazebo is a common favorite. Relax and savor the beauty of the cherry trees reflected in the lake. Feel the gentle movement of cherry petals falling down, and you’ve already taken part in a most delightful experience. Busan and Jeju, are the first places in Korea that welcome the cherry blossom season. There are several cherry-shaded streets to stroll down during these cool spring days. Imagine again you are walking on a street lined with cherry trees with a light wind grazing your hair. Can you feel the slight tickle of the pink cherry petals trickling down from the trees onto your skin? The most beautiful places to observe the cherry blossoms are Haeundae Dalmaji Street, Oncheon Park, the coastline in Igidae Park, Samnak Park, and Namcheon-dong cherry street. The list couldn’t be complete without mentioning Jeju Island - “the kingdom of flowers”. Cherry flowers here have larger petals than in other places. For this reason, they are called King Cherries. On Jeju Island, you can stroll down roads either lined entirely with cherry trees or by cherry on one side and yellow colza on the other.
Seoul is also a good place to check out at this time of year with cherry festivals near Seokchon Lake and in Yeouido Park.

Marathon in cherry blossom season n Gyeongju, the authorities and locals celebrate the cherry blossom season in their own way, with a marathon. Gyenongju Cherry Marathon was first held in 1991. This year, the race will celebrate their 25th year. The Cherry Marathon 2016 will take place on April 9th with about 12,000 people participating in the race. Runners can choose from the full (42km), half (21km), 10 km, and 5 km courses. The course starts at the Gyeongju World Culture Expo Park and passes through various parts of the city beneath the shade of cherry trees. Those who love running can register for the Gyenongju Cherry Marathon on at https:// cherrymarathon.com:48271/etc/?vmode=05 until mid-March. The participation fee for the full or half marathons and the 10km is 30,000 won. The 5k health course is 20,000 won. Running through a shower of flower petals with faint scent of cherry that the warm spring winds carry to your nose promises be
among the most unforgettable experiences of your life.
Notable Korean cultural and historic festivals this spring: Spring in Korea attracts visitors with not only with its natural beauty but also by the cultural value which is represented in many of the festive activities. An array of festivals taking place in early spring contribute to preserve and promote Korean history and cultural heritage for travelers. Immerse yourself this festive season in some of the exciting activities offered. Join the Namhansanseong World Heritage Experience to try on traditional royal attire, enjoy a tea ceremony, make books and paper fans, enjoy a Nongak performance, and attend a concert at one of the Royal palaces including Jagyeongjeon, Sugyeongjeon, and Gyeongbok Palaces during the months of May, June, September and October this year or go to the Lotus Lantern Festival in May where you can learn about Buddhism. Moreover, if you're interested in exploring the culture and history of Korean kings, then save the date for the royal festivals in Seoul and Jongmyo. The grey days of winter have gone along with the biting cold. Spring is the time for renewal. Come to Korea, get ready for the new year ahead and let the magnificent landscape and festivals refill your soul.

Exploring Vancouver is more like dating a girl than wandering through a city. This bustling Canadian seaport is so beautiful that all I can do is contemplate the magnificent natural scenes and urbane charm. Located in mainland British Columbia, this coastal city is home to roughly 603,000 people from around the world, creating an ethnically and linguistically diverse city. March to June is the best time to visit and welcome spring’s countless colors with lush green trees, fresh pink cherry blossoms, yellow sunlight and the blue sea contributing their beauty to the cityscape.
3 layers of clothes and a thin blanket were enough to keep me warm to start my journey. From YVR airport, I took the subway to Waterfront Station, which is only 200m from the seaport and Canada Place Square. I still remember the moment when I became mesmerized by the scenery. The blue-sky blends at the horizon with the deep blue of the sea speckled with white sails while the sunlight illuminates the tranquil beauty of the land.
“Fly over Canada”
From Canada Place, I took the Sea Bus ferry around the harbor. The ferry runs every 15 minutes and it’s a wonderful way to view the seaport, a must-see during your trip to Vancouver.
I arrived in Vancouver on a fresh morning before the sunlight has been able to warm up the air. The chill didn’t matter though.

Capilano, North America’s longest suspension bridge Whenever someone talks about Vancouver, he tends to mention the Capilano Suspension Bridge. Built in 1889, the bridge was the longest and highest suspension bridge of its day. Standing on this bridge, which is 137m long and 70m above the river, while gazing upon lush evergreens and listening to the murmur of the waterfalls spurting from the craggy cliffs, feels like being lost in a tropical rainforest. At first, I walked slowly, but the wonderful scenery gradually transformed my fear of heights into excitement. I was completely absorbed in nature, relaxing above green foliage, among centuries old trees and fresh turquoise streams. During the expedition through Capilano’s forest, I was particularly impressed by the colorful wooden statues. After photographing them and asking locals, I found out that they are totem poles sculpted since the 1930s by First Nations people. These totem poles are considered a cultural symbol of the Canadian Aborigines living on the western coast of Canada. This land features the most totems in the world, and images of totem poles have become popular not only in Capilano but throughout Canada. Totem poles represent the creativity, dexterity, tastes, national pride, and identity of the original Canadians as well as human thought and beliefs in general.

Stanley Park After contemplating the beauty of Vancouver from the sky and swaying on the suspension bridge, I continued my journey with Stanley Park - one of the largest urban parks in North America and the No.1 on the list of the 25 most beautiful
parks in the world (with an area of about 1,001ha). I visited the park in the late afternoon and began wandering along a 23km trail under dense green foliage. Vancouver always charms me with its purity and tranquility. The Vancouver Aquarium is a completely different world within Stanley Park, so don’t miss it. It is home to more than 70,000 creatures including beluga whales, sharks, sea otters, sea lions, giant fish from the Amazon, and more. Through the glass and from above, I watched thousands of marine species from around the world. Indeed, this was a wonderful chance for me to learn about marine life. My journey to Vancouver ended after 3 days. Of course, three days is not much for a travel lover like me but I know that “we” - me and Vancouver - have shared a happy time together. For me, that’s enough for a romantic date of two “people” who are half a globe away from each other.
TIME: ü The most suitable time to travel to Vancouver is from March to June when the temperatures range from 13 to 19 degrees C. However, you should prepare thick coats to avoid weather changes this season. ITINERARY: ü From Hanoi or HCMC, you can fly to Vancouver with Vietnam Airlines, Korean Air, or Eva Air. However, it will be a long route and you have to transit several times. To save your time, you can fly with Korean Air so that you need stop only once in Korea before flying to Vancouver. TRANSPORTATION: ü To reach Canada Place, take the skytrain from YVR Airport to Water Front station and walk some minutes. Here, you can by ticket to experience “Fly Over Canada” or book online in advance. For details, please visit: www. flyovercanada.com.
ü From Canada Place you can travel to Capilano by a free shuttle bus. ü You can choose to visit Stanley Park by foot, bike or public transportation. FOOD: ü Vancouver is a culturaly diverse city so its culinary culture is rich and diverse as well. You should try lobster, the city’s specialty. Also, you can enjoy Asian dishes, especially Chinese cuisine in China Town at reasonable prices. SOUVENIRS: ü Canada is the land of maple leaves; therefore, products from maple are popular gifts for friends and relatives. Maple Syrup, biscuits and sweets made from maple trees are highly recommended. Canada is also famous for Eiswein (icewine) which is also a good choice. CURRENCY: ü 1CAD = 16,000VND

IT IS SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN THAT RHINO HORNS CONSIST OF THE SAME KERATIN FOUND IN HUMAN NAILS AND HAIR AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE TO SUGGEST THEY BENEFIT PEOPLE’S HEALTH. HOWEVER, THESE FACTS ARE NOT ENOUGH TO PREVENT PEOPLE FROM USING RHINO HORNS - “NAILS AND HAIR” - IN VIETNAM. Blood, sweat, and tears are the price for rhino horns. It’s not only the blood of unfortunate rhinos but also that of the local foresters and police officials who attempt to protect them from poachers. Many are injured and even killed during these confrontations. The battle to save the rhinos is full of weapons, sweat, and blood. Apart from some officials, many professors and doctors have joined the fight. They and their family live in the forest, near stables and make all efforts to rescue this species from the brink of extinction.
C
ountless methods and ideas have been introduced to protect these animals. They’ve increased the number of guards, set up more cameras, injected poison into horns, and have even sawed the rhino horns to make them useless to poachers. If you visit rhino the conservancy in Kruger forest, you will see rhino calves traumatized by their mothers’ deaths. These “babies” are brought there and fed with bottles of milk. They are kept in a stable with a mature female rhino so that they can be acquainted with their new mother.
When the breast-feeding period passes, the mother and her little rhino will be released to the forest. Healthy rhinos living in the areas with high density hunting are taken to the transfer station and sent to less dangerous areas. However rough, clumsy, and slow rhinos seem to be, they have extremely sensitive skin, and at 40 mph (60kph) they can run 3 times faster than the world’s fastest human. Rhino’s skin looks stiff, but it is soft and very sensitive to insects. That’s the reason rhinos love soaking in water; to protect their skin from being bitten. The only thing this good natured creature does is eat grass; nevertheless,
nowadays, their peaceful lives are threatened by poachers who are eager to saw off their horns and cut out their genitals to sell in Asia.
of extinction. Meanwhile, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) confirmed that the West African black rhinos have disappeared completely as neither people nor equipment have detected them since 2006.
Africa is not so hot, poor, and full of evils as people think. You must visit it yourself to realize how beautiful and rich this continent is with its endless grasslands stretching to the horizon and countless animals such as lions, leopards, zebras, gazelles, and rhinos. However, within 100 years, the number of northern white rhinos has decreased from 2,000 to 15 in 1984, and as of 2016, the World Wild Fund has only one surviving male white rhino on record. Poachers are pushing rhinos toward the brink
Strongly believing rhino horns to be a panacea, wealthy Asians won’t stop demanding this pseudo-scientific elixir while Africa has made every effort to save the last remaining rhinos on our planet. The increased demand of rhinos is the main cause for the threat of extinction. What can we do now when the Vietnamese demand is still so high and poachers are doing everything they can to make a fortune selling rhino horns? What can we do now to save the last wild land of the Earth?

CHANGE VIETNAM
(THE CENTER OF HANDS-ON ACTION AND NETWORKING FOR GROWTH AND ENVIRONMENT) TRAVELLIVE: Could you please tell
us about the roles of CHANGE’s ambassadors in this campaign?
-- The ambassadors are famous people with extensive influence in society. During the campaign, they represented our organizations by appearing in the media with partnering TV stations as well as press and advertising agencies. They, together with CHANGE, produce and deliver public service announcements (PSA) and print ads to call for people’s attention, especially their fans, to bring an end to the evils of trading rhino horns. TRAVELLIVE: What is Vietnam’s
position on the horn trade? How has the demand for horns reduced after the campaign? -- According to the Illegal Trade In Ivory And Rhino Horn Report
132
TRAVELLIVE
published by TRAFFIC in 2014, Vietnam ranks No.1 in rhino horn consumption! But now with state support, several NGOs have put forth enormous effort into various campaigns; therefore, the number of Vietnamese people consuming rhino horns has decreased by 38%. After one year, the number of people believing in rhino horns’ benefits has fallen by 25.4% according to a survey conducted by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITIES) Vietnam and Human Society International (HSI). 1,000 people from 6 cities (Hanoi, HCMC, Danang, Hai Phong, Nha Trang, and Can Tho) participated in this survey. It can obviously be seen that the rhino horn demand in Vietnam has dramatically decreased since the campaign started in last August.
TRAVELLIVE: What are CHANGE’s
next events and campaigns to protect rhinos? -- After next year, the last year for the campaign, “Stop using rhino horns in Vietnam”, CHANGE will continue with the project by enhancing our social media power to disseminate the message to the public, particularly to businessmen and Buddhists. CHANGE has also expanded its outreach channels, and focused more on bulletin boards at airports where the target audiences often visit. We are calling for more support from leading experts in the field of health such as doctors. Moreover, we will keep inviting and welcoming international stars to work as our ambassadors in Vietnam. We are preparing a big event with about 2000 participants at the end of this year to summarize the campaign’s results after 3 years of implementation.
ENV VIETNAM
(EDUCATION FOR NATURE - VIETNAM)
TRAVELLIVE: Could you please share with us what you think we can do to help stop
the trading of rhino horns in Asia?
-- Tight sanctions and penalties as well as strict and clear law enforcement are necessary to stop these illegal activities. We all know that the authorities have recently discovered several cases of trafficking but many of them are “ignored” without any strict investigation. We can only cut the trade lines by arresting the “big bosses”. At the same time, campaigns to reduce consumption also need to be strengthened. Furthermore, not only Vietnam and other Asian countries, but also African countries need better enforcement to stop rhino poaching.

In December 13th 2015, ENV cooperated with Red River Runners to hold the “Run for rhinos” program with the participation of over 500 people. ENV will continue to host public exhibitions and produce short films to raise awareness, reduce demand, and spread the message of saving rhinos. We also encourage everyone to inform us about rhino poaching via hotline at 1800 1522. ENV is calling for the support of businesses in our campaign to reduce rhino horn consumption and communicate actively to save endangered animals. ENV is cooperating with luxury car brands such as Mercedes - Benz, BMW, as well as companies like MG, Nshape Fitness center, Lotte, Vincom Shopping Centers to set up information boards and hold events for the community.

GENERAL NEWS
HOI AN Quang Nam's provincial government has officially recognized Tra Que village as a provincially traditional craft village. This agricultural village has existed for over 400 years. After a tumultuous history, locals in Tra Que have changed from fishmen on De Vong River to famers and began developing their rich agricultural tradition in Hoi An. Tra Que village is a favorite destination for many foreign visitors when travelling to Hoi An. CAN THO The Director of Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism for Can Tho City has said that in 2016, Can Tho will cooperate to get the conservation and development for the Cai Rang floating market project underway. The project is supposed to promote tourism at the Cai Rang floating market as well as in the Mekong Delta in general. In 2016, Can Tho city aims to welcome 1,7 million visitors including 250,000 international visitors. TRANG AN - NINH BINH The Ministry of Construction has submitted a project proposal to the government to begin development of a Trang An scenic landscape complex which is projected to be completed by 2030 . The prospective site spans an area of 6,226ha within 5 districts of Ninh Binh Province. The proposal aims to ensure uniformity in management of zoning, safeguarding the integrity of the heritagesite according to UNESCO regulations. At the same time, the project aims to manage the construction of infrastructural
works for tourism and socioeconomic development in the area. SINGAPORE In a move aimed at strengthening security amid the rise of perceived terrorist threats, Singapore will scan and record the fingerprints of all visitors to the city-state beginning June this year. The fingerprinting will take place at all points of entry. It's believed that this move will help the government verify the identity of visitors before granting them entry as well as create favorable conditions during procedures. ASEAN VISA From the start of 2016, the immigration provision for citizens traveling to ASEAN countries formally took effect. Accordingly, citizens of the ASEAN countries only need a valid passport and round-trip air ticket to travel and stay in Vietnam up to 30 days. Vietnamese citizens with a return ticket and a valid passport (valid for at least 6 months) can travel to other ASEAN countries. Those who wish to stay more than 30 days must ask for a visa in accordance with legal provisions. BRAZIL The Brazilian Federal Government has announced that citizens of USA, Canada, Australia and Japan will be able to enter Brazil for Rio Olympic Games 2016 (until September 18th), and stay for 90 days, without having to arrange for a visa in advance. The country's Minister of Tourism has stated that they expect a 20% increase
in the number of tourists from these four countries in just the first 9 months of the year. The Olympic Games will take place between the 5th and 21st of August and the paralympic Games will be staged between the 7th and 18th of September. There will be 14,000 athletes competing in the 2016 Olympics and 25,000 journalists from 100 countries to report on this sporting event. Brazil expects to welcome 500,000 tourists for this occasion. CLOSER TO JAPAN Hanoitourist Travel has cooperated with Vietnam Airlines and the Japanese Tourism Board to announce "Closer to Japan", a new tourist package with interesting programs at reasonable prices. For 4 days and 3 nights, visitors can visit numerous sites such as Mt. Fuji, Oshino Hakkai village, Aishi Lake, Asakura Temple, the Japanese Royal Citadel, Tokyo Sky Tree Tower, and the manmade Odaiba island. Yasukuni is a striking destination - a shrine of Japanese heros, representing Japan's national and spiritual identity. Additionally, tourists can experience the Onsen mineral baths to relax and soak in the spirit of the community, watch sumo performances to understand more about the spirit of Samurai's land, and have fun while shopping.

THAI NGUYEN Thai Nguyen Province and The Xuan Truong Construction Enterprise have celebrated the groundbreaking ceremony for development of tourism at Nui Coc Lake. With a total investment of 15.000 billion VND, these developments will connect the Dinh Hoa safety zone, Tan Trao historical relic (Tuyen Quang), and Ba Be Lake. The project's main priorities are to add on to the 150m high Thap Temple, the shrine of Tam Hoa Thanh Mau, Quy Minh Dai Vuong, and Tran Hung Dao.
