Chi Hoa reminds everyone of the meals we used to have at home with dishes made from natural, seasonal ingredients and carefully prepared to keep the freshness. The kitchen is open with traditional designs to help guests enjoy a comfortable, cozy space.

INTERCONTINENTAL® DANANG SUN PENINSULA RESORT According to Feng Shui (Asian geomancy), “leaning against the mountain and overlooking the sea” is a major architectural principle applied in many works. This principle makes the works more stable and well-aired. Deeply understanding about architecture and Vietnamese culture, Bill Bansley, a talented architect, has introduced this principle to the “paradise” of InterContinental® Danang Sun Peninsula Resort. Located in Son Tra Peninsula, all 197 rooms of InterContinental® Danang Sun Peninsula Resort feature windows and large balconies, which offer guests the striking panoramic views of not only the sea but also the lush green forest in the back. Additionally, travelers can be surpised by the impressive beauty of nature.

READ REVIEWS
When you know exactly the place and time you will come, let’s start by surfing some booking websites to find promotions. One advantage of online booking is that the prices offered are cheaper than those of direct booking. Moreover, on online booking websites, you are offered many gifts and promotions such as: discounts for group bookings, lucky draw coupons. If lucky enough, you can have chances to stay at famous hotels at half prices.
Some websites such as iVIVU. com provide you with lots of reviews of each hotel’s previous customers. You can use these reviews to decide whether the chosen hotel is suitable for you or not. Sometimes you can also find attractive points of the hotel after reading these reviews.
CONSIDER YOUR PAYMENT METHOD There are many services that can only be paid by credit card (Visa, Master card) and USD, which charge you lots of money because of foreign exchange rates and bank fees. However, with available online booking services in Vietnam, you can choose to pay by credit card, Visa debit card or even by cash in their offices within 24 hours. The flexibility in payment methods can make your online transaction safer.
LOOK FOR SUITABLE HOTELS Using available maps on booking websites is the easiest way to find your hotel with the most convinient location and cheapest price. Then, consider carefully about the style of chosen hotels as well. Small boutique hotels are more intimate while hundred-room hotels are more suitable with groups of travelers or business executives. Finally, you’re advised to search for other information including the room categories, location and views of rooms and complementary services such as breakfast, shuttle bus from/to the airport, coach station and more. For example, for families with kids, you should know whether there is any extra cost.
CONFIRM YOUR ONLINEBOOKED ROOM
* This article is supported by iVIVU.com
Few websites such as iVIVU. com will immediately send you a confirmation code via email or text message. All you need to do is provide this code for the hotel. However, you need to differentiate between online booking and phone booking services. The latter only gives you the room after it is paid and checked. Although you are not charged any money, this kind of service can make you confused after spending so much time choosing suitable hotel, only to find it is unavailble or only availble at higher prices TRAVELLIVE

NOT ONLY BED AND BREAKFAST! Personal lifestyle In 2007, roommates Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia decided to lease their living room to reduce the cost of their rent in San Francisco. They put their airbeds on the floor and offered breakfast to make the services more attractive; unbeknownst to them, “Airbnb”,or “airbed and breakfast” was being born in their apartment. You may wonder: “Why make a business out of something a hotel can do much better? What’s the appeal?” What Airbnb offers, however, is the authenticity of being in your host’s real living space
- the walls, the decoration, the atmosphere unchanged, the guest inhabiting the same space as their host. As a host, your guests are allowed to read your books on the bookshelf, eat your mother’s homemade jam in the fridge, and even cross the unintimidating gap between host-guest relationship
and friendship.
Does it sound interesting enough? When we were walking around looking for craftsmen apartments in Dist. 20, Paris, my sisterin-law, a pottery artisan, said “Actually, I want to join the “Open-door festival”partly because of the works, but mainly because I want to see how interiors in closed-houses are arranged.” An interesting suggestion. She continued: “This is a special chance to learn more about others’ lifestyle that is otherwise inaccessible.”

ouching the personal lifestyles of the hosts is the big selling point for Airbnb. Visiting Airbnb is like opening a catalogue of beautiful houses, but now you can also ask the hosts if you can stay at their house for a short time. Don’t think that you are using a kind of money-saving scheme, since with Airbnb, you have a wide selection; you can even enjoy facilities such as a two-floor luxury apartment in the center of New York City, spend your weekend in a floating house in Amsterdam, or make your dream of being the host of a French wine castle come true, if only for a few days.
Airbnb and the 5-star rating The position of the house is important, as are the decors and the quality of the breakfast. However, they are not enough to persuade a stranger seeking accommodation among more than a million houses in 34,000 cities that your house is the best choice. Your five-star rating results from good feedback (given by your previous guests) garnered from your warm welcoming and attention to detail (ex: answering all guests’ questions, even picking them up from the airport or letting them ride your bikes and go with you to the fish market in the early morning), and sharing your own stories, and offering them delicious meals (as if you were a culinary ambassador).

anything else, if you welcome them like family, for instance, cooking soup when they are sick (something you never mentioned in the terms and conditions), your guests will thank you with their positive reviews. I have intimate knowledge of the Airbnb world because my family hosts a house in Hoi An. Named “overlooking the rice field”, our house gives us a chance to make friends. With those who want to know more about Vietnamese cuisine, we are willing to bring them to the market and prepare and enjoy dishes together. Our guests are always eager to wash the dishes, although they pay for the meal.
Further information: ü Founded in 2008, Airbnb now has more than 25 million members. To explore Airbnb, please visit the website www.airbnb.com. ü It is quite easy to find a suitable house with reasonable prices and other services via Airbnb. You only need to enter your destination, find a house and send the request along with your personal information and demands. When your request is accepted, your payment will be automatically effective and you will receive a confirmation email with detailed guides and your host’s contact information. ü Airbnb provides you the longest list of choices in Paris. The number of hosts has increased dramatically from 4,000 in 2012 to more than 40,000 now in Ile-de-France. ü When President Obama changed the restricted tourism policy toward Cuba in January 2015, Airbnb was the first American company cooperating with locals; now, more than 1,000 houses and apartments function as Airbnb hosts on the island, most of them transformed from casas particulares, a kind of local homestay. ü In Vietnam, visitors can choose more than 1,000 houses in many big cities such as Hanoi, HCMC, Da Nang, Hoi Ai, Sapa, Cat Ba, Mui Ne and more.
Sometimes I joke that I just need to stay at home and hope for the world to come in a share dinner with us, and the world comes in. Actually not only a dinner, but thanks to Airbub, I also had a chance to watch the final match of the European youth rugby tournament with one of my guests whose cousin was playing. When a German guest, a marketing executive for the fashion line, Diesel, came here, fashion was the center of our mealtime conversations. One of our most interesting guests was a man working with his colleagues to run the Google Drive app, which I use every day. Without Airbnb, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to chat with a young American man who earns his living as an alcohol critic, rating and recommending wine pairings for famous restaurants. Welcoming guests and waiting for “5-star” reviews, we also know how lucky we are having

Finding myself at another’s house The more members of Airbnb you meet, the more stories you listen to, the more you will find out the reason why many tourists only choose Airbnb for their itineraries. It is quickly becoming a popular trend all over the world. When Kiminari’s house was damaged by the devastating earthquake in Japan in 2011, his view on life was forever altered. “On TV, I saw many people dying,” he recalls. “It made me realize that life only happens once.” Until the age of 35, he had never been abroad. However, after the earthquake, he decided to travel around the world. Airbnb was his ticket to local experiences in 38 countries over 200+ days, giving him opportunities to talk with locals who are willing to teach him about their lives and traditions during dinners and to show him off-the-beaten-track sites.

Afterwards he became more confident in his own capabilities as an artist and designer. Today, the young student has graduated design school and now works as a professional designer.

Particularly, I remember the story of a young woman from China. She lost her wallet with important documents on a bus in Rio de Janeiro. If it hadn’t been for the enthusiastic
Answering questions from the Fran Parente website at a local beachfront cafe, the Brazilian host said “I’ve turned what used to be a hobby into a career.”
Clarence, who was bored with lessons at his design school, decided to find something new by traveling with Airbnb. Denmark and Belgium were his chosen destinations. When he walked into a house in Belgium, he was instantly inspired. “It felt like I was in a museum”, said he. The atmosphere was warmed by the mix of vintage items, antique furniture, high ceiling fans, contrasting modern colors and a beautiful garden in the back.

FOR THOUSANDS OF years tea drinking has been an integral cornerstone of Vietnamese culture. Tea remains the host's offering of choice in humble countryside homes and sky-high luxury apartment buildings. It breaks the ice at business negotiations just as it helps pave the way for internal political diplomacy. Keeping your eyes peeled, you'll find elderly tea sellers on a few of Hanoi's street corners serving steaming cups of green tea from tea cozy-suitcases. These ancient women are most obvious during the bitterest days of winter when they are one of the few street venders to brave the outside, cloaked in black and surrounded by tiny plastic chairs. Tea has been adapted to fit modern tastes and trends as well, with small but significant enclaves of Hanoi's old quarter, such as near St Joseph's church and on Dao Duy Tu Street, overrun with youngsters slurping sickly sweet lemon iced tea.

BUT THE ROLE of tea in Vietnamese society has been somewhat usurped; coffee is now the fashionable favourite. Tea holds strong as a beverage enjoyed behind closed doors but out in the open, coffee reigns supreme. Introduced by the French in the 19th century, coffee is still the relative new kid on the block, and yet it has packed on enough muscle to bully the old tea bag into public irrelevance, only occasionally showing its aged face outside of the private home or unseen meeting room. Some coffee shops still provide a complimentary glass of tea to accompany the coffee, but this is often served as an afterthought and it's rapidly becoming the exception rather than the rule. But things might be looking up for the more delicate brew, as cozy and intriguing tearooms are starting to spring up across the capital tempting trendy Hanoians with elegant aromas.
Intriguing tearooms such as familyrun E.Tea, a cozy space that occupies the elevated floor of a charming colonial corner building in the French quarter. Characteristic tiling spreads across the floor and comfortable seats have been expertly placed to devise a contemporary but intimate atmosphere. For added privacy there is not just one but two small balconies that look over the bustling street below as well as a separate corner room fitting no more than a couple. The space is warm and cozy in the winter but bright and airy in the summer, and E.Tea's teas also reflect Hanoi's
celebrated seasons. Steaming pots of brew from an extensive menu selection, including British black teas and Chinese flower teas, are presented above a candle flame to keep up the heat. In the summer guests can opt for an iced variation, which works well with the fresh fruit and some sprigs of mint to keep tea drinkers refreshed and hydrated when Hanoi heats up. Coffee makes a token appearance on the menu, but it is dwarfed by the remarkable selection of interesting world teas. "We serve tea because we like tea,"says Tung, manager at E.Tea and little brother to the owner. "Although tea is traditionally served hot, we provide a variety of iced teas as well, which is in keeping with modern tastes."

ANOTHER SHINNING example is D'Alice, which has been audaciously placed on cafe-clogged Trieu Viet Vuong in the very heart of enemy territory. Trieu Viet Vuong Street doesn't only have more cafes than you can shake a stick at, it is also the site of the very first Cong cafä, which has since blossomed into a dazzling franchise set on world domination. Brilliantly white with a sparkling window display, D'Alice provides a bright beacon of choice in one of Hanoi's biggest coffee strongholds. "The original conceptwas a dessert restaurant, which is completely new to Hanoi," explains Trung, marketing manager for D'Alice. "Naturally we followed up with tea- the best choice as it enhances the taste without overwhelming the flavor of the dessert" Fresh teas from as far away as France and Japan are almost always served hot, and accompanied by a set of hourglasses that guides you on when to pour- if you like your tea not too strong then wait for the final grain of the smaller hourglass to fall. If you like it with more flavour then you should wait a few minutes longer for one of the
longer timers. The cakes are unsurprisingly superb, with Hanoi's best baked cheesecake, melt-in-themouth cookies and inspired French pastries such as a sweet and sharp passion fruit äclair. In terms of interior design, nowhere in Hanoi is quite like D'Alice. This small space only has a handful of tables, with a dreamlike spiral staircase twisting its way up to a comfortable mezzanine level. Starkly contrasting with the noisy street-coffee scene outside, D'Alice is a sophisticated oasis of calm where the atmosphere requires that voices aren't raised above a delicate murmur of exchange. Impossibly soft sofas and classic English armchairs adorn the tearoom- ideal for whiling away a lazy afternoon. "I think (people come to D'Alice) because we've created a different atmosphere compared with other places,"says Trung. "You can see that many coffee shops and restaurants build their concept based on industrial design." The industrial-chic design concept to which Trung is referring has relentlessly anchored itself in Hanoi and shows no signs of going out
of fashion. D'Alice is the white polar opposite and together with an inspired selection of teas and delicious cakes, provides a refreshing alternative. Hanoi's cafä scene is constantly reinventing itself and now goes far beyond the traditional coffee house. The focus no longer has to be the black stuff as entrepreneurial business owners are starting to choose smoothies, ice cream and cakes as the focal point to get the customers in. E.Tea and D'Alice demonstrate that tea is also proving to be a popular alternative and Hanoians are bound to see this trend continue as the popularity of these new tearooms endures. "We feel that tea will become more popular but it can never become more popular than coffee", predicts Trung. Hanoi is a city full of surprises so let's wait and see what the future holds. TRAVELLIVE

"ZEN GARDEN" MOF MATCHA In Japan, garden decor is a special art associated with Mediation or Zen. A Japanese traditional Zen garden creates a miniature stylized landscape through carefully composed arrangements of rocks
and pruned trees as well as using sand to represent ripples in water. Each Zen garden brings you a tranquil space, where you can feel the "zen in your sould " and explore yourself. In Vietnam, Zen gardens are creatively reintroduced in Matcha dishes.

If Hokkaido Matcha fresh cream makes Deluxe Matcha Float fatter and more delicious with the taste of Hokkaido fresh milk mixed with pure Matcha powder, Matcha Aqua Fresca is more aromatic with Vani cream andMatcha Soda. You can mix the cream and Soda of Matcha Aqua Fresca to make it tastier and separately enjoy the fresh cream of Hokkaido Matcha to retain the flavors of Matcha and fresh milk.

Many spectacular beaches and islands along the Central Coast of Vietnam are very popular. However, there is an islet that is off-the-beaten-track although it is a “paradise” for travelers. It is Hon Nua Island. Located between the provinces of both Phu Yen in the north and Khanh Hoa in the south, Hon Nua Island is quite off-the-beaten-track. It’s very wild and pristine even though it’s just a few kilometers from the shore. From Ca mountain pass, Hon Nua Island looks like a small dinosaur wearing a green coat and sleeping with its head facing north. It’s a beautiful summer day. We stop at Dai Lanh bridge and ask about hiring a boat to the island. The passenger boat surfs the waves and takes us to the island in the cool wind, which blow away
our worries of daily life. After about 30 minutes, the island appears with a curving, smooth, sandy beach, very clear water and high stone cliffs in the East sea. After climbing up some stone cliffs overlooking the center of the island, we are captivated by the view of this place. A fresh-water lake is surrounded by an imposing rock face. The lake’s surface is as tranquil as a mirror reflecting the sky above and water is flowing into rocky crevices. It is a wonderful experience to see a fresh-water lake on a small island in the sea.

We continue to wander around the island and discover an exciting feature; the “footprints of enormous people”. After millions of years and with the erosion of time, stone slabs have been changed into huge footprints scattered around the island that makes us feel like we are walking in the land of enormous people.

Phu Yen is famous for Da Dia reef, Dai Lanh lighthouse and Xuan Dai bay. I have visited there several times to enjoy its pristine beauty and always wish to come back. Da Dia reef is considered a natural masterpiece of not only Phu Yen province but also Vietnam and the world. There are thousands of pictures taken there, making Da Dia reef more famous.

Traditionally, in summer, people in Northern Europe often prepare for their long holiday in plain wooden houses constructed deeply in cold pine forests of the North.
SPECTACULAR ANCIENT HYTTE STYLE These very simple houses just include small kitchens with the necessary appliances and bedrooms with feather blankets and classic fireplaces which burn all day and night. Built as a traditional summer house, the toilet is located away from the main house without any modern amenities. Such a house is called a hytte in Norwegian or sommerstuga in Swedish. A hytte or sommerstuga is a property handed down from generation to generation. A century ago, when most of people in Northern Europe made a living from woodwork, fishing, farming and other manual labour, the construction of a wooden house was not very difficult for a strong man. They could build a hytte themselves and paint it the red colour of alluvial soil, the blue of a duck’s neck or the yellow of saffron. Then, in summer, they could take their family to the house and live with nature. In the day, women would stay at home to make bread and cook while the men would go hunting for their dinner. Children strolled along small trails in the forest all day to pick summer strawberries or growing mushrooms after the rain. When the father became old, this summer house would be
handed down to his kids and this tradition has been maintained until now. That’s why it is very difficult to buy an ancient hytte in the forest because it is very valuable. However, many people dreamt of a hytte and the local governments in big cities started to build small summer houses in the outskirts. These houses are often located near forests or natural lakes. Cars cannot be driven into these areas and all exchanges with the outside world are as limited as possible. It is

sail on the lake and go fishing or swimming. Small trails around the lake are favourite places for those who like to walk stay healthy. In addition, the lush green grasslands are ideal for picnics. As it is high up, from the main street of Kolonihagen, you can view the panorama of the city center and the noisy Oslo wharf in the valley. Maybe you can now imagine the wonderful terrain and picturesque natural scenery of this area. If the dream of a “true” hytte is too difficult, people in Oslo can definitely think of such a summer house amidst the capital city in this Kolonihagen area.

Since summer and sunshine are luxurious gifts to Norwegians, as well as other Northern European people, they love summer so much that they can spend the whole day in the garden to both enjoy these two gifts and take care of their ground.
Although he was not born in Oslo, after nearly 20 years living here, my close friend, Klaus, finally owns a small hytte in Kolonihagen with a large yard and some apple trees laden with fruits. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have the honour to spend a month in a cozy wooden house with Klaus and some of our close friends during the summer. Every May or June, people in Oslo finish their work and spend their summer in this hytte area for three months. Because this area is located within the city, children can still go to school and adults can do their work effectively. The summer houses, which are quiet for the rest of the year, are vibrant during the summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Summerâ&#x20AC;? neighbors start to redecorate their gardens, tidy up the streets and repair the swings in the park for their kids. Here, they chat with each other happily which is different from the usual nonchalant behaviour of people from Northern Europe. Instead of baking bread and hunting reindeer as ancient Norwegians did, we can buy food in supermarkets and store it in our fridge for a month

to avoid travelling to the city during the holiday. However, we are excited to pick wild strawberries and apples. In summer, apple trees are laden with fruits. Red and juicy apples pull the tree branches towards the ground and this is a good chance for us to pick them. Biting a sour, crunchy apple, I can enjoy the taste of summer. Apart from apples, our neighbours also grow pears, cherries, mulberries and strawberries. Some close neighbours also exchange fruits or gather under the trees to enjoy their fruit on a nice morning. Once talking about hyttes, I must mention the pleasure that doing the gardening gives to the local people in the snowy regions. Since summer and sunshine are luxurious gifts to Norwegians, as well as other Northern European people, they love summer so much that they can spend the whole day in the garden to both enjoy these two gifts and take care of their ground. In addition to apples, local people often grow different kinds of strawberries and flowers such as dahlias, hydrangeas and a lovely type
of Northern European flower called “Kiss me over the garden gate”. These flowers are as yellow as sunflowers and often grow near the fence. Then, they grow out into the street and swing in the wind. The flower is like a girl trying to kiss her lover sweetly and secretly via the closed garden gate as if she was afraid that her parents would know that their child is falling in love. On summer mornings, you can take a walk into the forest or enjoy a BBQ on the grass with your friends. If the weather is warmer and more comfortable, you can bathe in the lake. In Norway, natural scenery is the property of everyone. You can walk around the forest, swim in the lake or camp in a wild field without asking for any permission. That’s why Sognsvann becomes an ideal place to immerse in the cool, blue water and escape from the heat of summer. Besides, you can go fishing in the lake. However, remember not to catch the small fish or use nets to catch many fish in the
lake. You are only allowed to catch a specific number of fish. During this time of the year, you can see some small boats anchored peacefully on the lake, even though the urban streets are crowded and busy. Today, Norwegians maintain their habit of travelling to their summer house in the forest to escape from the city and indulge in nature. Although modern women do not bake bread and men do not go hunting, the habits of trekking, enjoying the pleasant aroma of pine wood, breathing the fresh air after the summer rain or picking up summer fruits and many other activities is still maintained. It is passed down from generation to generation as a valuable spiritual treasure of the descendants of Vikings. Perhaps, that’s why many Norwegian people’s family names come from their ancient houses in the forest. Their affection for their summer house means they do not hesitate to change their family names to express their passionate love.

Located on the southwest coast of South Korea, Jeju is an island of World’s natural heritage, with a simple lifestyle, with immense fields of flowers and fresh air cooled by the breezes of the sea. Text: An Pham Photo: Korea Tourism Organization, Duy Anh
With an area of 1,846 km2, Jeju is the largest island but the smallest province among 9 provinces of South Korea. Surrounded by the sea, Jeju has typical oceanic climate with warm winter and cool summer, the average annual temperature is about 15 to 16oC. Known as “Island of the Peace”, Jeju is one of the tourism paradises in South Korea, the island is adorned by picturesque roads along the shore, immense flower fields and antique stone wall houses. Jeju is
where you can enjoy the slow paces of life and get away from the hustle and bustle of South Korea. The island is remnants of volcanic eruption around 2 million years ago. This explains why the distinctive spongy light volcanic black rocks are found all over the island. Locals use this kind of rock to build their houses to withstand the fierce and boisterous wind from the sea. The coastline is mostly made up of rocky shores exposed volcanic rock and looks like antique fences. Inhabitants also use this black volcanic rock to carve the “harubang” (Old Grandfather) statues. These statues dot the landscape and have become one of the most widelyrecognized symbols of the island.

Welcome visitors to royal party
year. In 1826, under Emperor Minh Mang's reign, Duyet Thi Duong was constructed in ßπi NÈi (the Imperial Citadel). That was the theater of the Nguyen Court where its emperors and royalties enjoyed traditional artistic performances including the ancient Tuong. In addition, that was where the royal banquets for the foreign envoys took place. Considered to be the oldest theater among Vietnamese stages, Duyet Thi Duong has been open once again to the public since 2004 and has attracted many domestic and international visitors coming to sightsee and enjoy the ancient Tuong.
Having only been performed for emperors and royalty in the past, royal Tuong (a classical drama) has recently been preserved, developed and introduced to visitors keen to know more about this traditional kind of art in the imperial city of Hue.

It’s surprising that many tourists, even international ones, are so interested in the ancient Tuong. There are two performances each day at Duyet Thi Duong Royal Theater- the oldest theater in Vietnam, preserved completely from the Minh Mang Dynasty. The Tuong, or Vietnamese classical drama, is a form of theater based on words, traditional music, singing, dancing and costumes and was developed a long time ago. In the Nguyen Dynasty (1802-1945), Tuong played an important role and it attracted many talented performers to the capital each
A striking feature of Tuong is the performing languages expressed by characters’ masks. When enjoying the performances, audiences pay more attention to how the masks are drawn and colored in an attempt to understand the characteristics and personalities of those wearing them. Artists are performing the Tuong
I
n addition to the masks, music also plays a significant role in Tuong. There are some typical characters, for example a loyal mandarin features a red face and long beard while a sycophantic character wears an ugly face and short beard. The most important thing is that the artist needs not only to sing, dance and perform well but also to know how to paint himself with different kinds of masks, which will help to make them be known as a talented artist. Just by looking at the masks, audiences can know the personalities and social class of the characters from the beginning of the performance. Mr. Hung, an ancient Tuong artist, said “When painting masks for characters of Tuong, the artist has to keep in mind that, although he performs as well as possible, it is his fault if his mask is not good and suitable with the character.” He also shared that “Each mask can be considered as a work of art associated with a specific Tuong character; therefore we have to pay much attention to it as the spotlight of the stage brings the glory to the artists”. At the very first moments when
´Each mask can be considered as a work of art associated with specific Tuong characterª. (La Hung, aTuong artist) thecharacter appears, audiences can realize his personalities (loyal, dishonest, or sycophantic) via his mask. The dominant color of the mask is black and white, combined with some extra colors such as red, green, and gray. Each color is associated with a specific motif: the black is for firmness; the white for the ungratefulness; the gray for the cavaliers. The ugly mask represents a bad-looking and hot-tempered person. Finally, the red face is for a loyal and high-spirited one. The Tuong mask also contains a profoundly aesthetic beauty of the nation. For example, the face of the actor representing a civil mandarin is often drawn in pink as the sign of a warm-hearted and level-headed person while the face of an open and frank military mandarin is painted in red. The face of the cavalier is white with lots of tiny dots. A child who will become a loyal
one is masked with a light red face with the highlight of bright and naive eyes. Additionally, a beard is a secret of Tuong artists. A long three-tuft and five-tuft beard (black, silver) represent upright, thoughtful and aristocratic characters . A h-tempered one has a curly black beard. A thick black beard stretching from ear to jaw lips is associated with the cavalier while this kind of beard in silver belongs to old heroic generals. And a short beard and black or white three - tuft beard are the identities of normalpeople: old woodsmen or aged fishermen. Facial makeup art is symbolic, highly stylized and based mostly on painting lines. Considered to be the soul of characters, each mask is a work of art containing a profoundly aesthetic beauty. Especially, in Hue, painted masks are affable and gentle with lighter lines. Tuongi artisans in Hue have their own secret to create the identity of our opera mask. Further information ü Enjoyingthis unique traditional art in the oldest theater in Vietnam is a musttry experience for you when visiting Hue. In addition to Tuong, in Duyet Thi Duong Theater (Hue Imperial Citadel), there are also Nha nhac (Vietnam court music) performed from 9:00 to 10:00 am and from 2:00 to 3:00pm. ü Ticket: VND 100,000
