Autumn is coming to town and filling the streets with its colors. Wake up in the early moring, pull the curtain back to let the first rays of the yellow sunshine, looming through leaves, shining up your room. Stroll along streets to feel gentle winds fondling your skin. Pretty girls have put on sophisticated cardigans while gentlemen choose classic items for their elegant outfits. At that time, you can easily take in the dreamy and romantic beauty that is only found in autumn. Say farewell to the scorching sunlight of summer with blue sea and white sand. Welcoming autumn by exploring new destinations is a wish of many travelers. Therefore, don’t hesitate to admire the charming beauty of distinct attractions in the world. Maybe, when you read this letter, you will smile and share the same feelings with us because you have packed your luggage for a short trip, or you are sitting in a waiting room at some airports or even walking along a road of yellow leaves to your hotel. After playing with red yellow leaves and cool winds on a long day, when the night comes, you can drop by a small restaurant to enjoy a cup of aromatic coffee or curle up in a warm blanket to listen to soft music from an old phonograph. Tranquility will fill your space and tenderly visit your dreams. Yours sincerely, TRAVELLIVE EDITORIAL BOARD

Its extensive menu is decidedly French, with deliberate detours to complement Western and Asian cuisines. The restaurant offers a variety of main courses such as steak with eggs, fried rice with seafood, black cod with chorizo and wok-fried lobster with black peppercorn. You can also enjoy the finest classic French desserts including millefeuille and baba au rhum as well as a dozen imported cheeses. On the first days of autumn, there could be nothing more relaxing than drinking a cup of afternoon tea and enjoying scrumptious cakes such as Austrian linzer torte, French äclairs and English scones while chatting with your friends.

Taking 9 years to make, Crimson Peak tells the story of Edith - a beautiful female writer suffering from a frightful childhood haunted by ghosts, which inspired her to write mysterious novels. Edith's life started a new chapter when she got married to Thomas and moved to an old house far away from the city. Thinking that she had escaped from the ghosts of the past, she would have to face new strange myths and terrible truths of the house. Crimson Peak is considered to be the most anticipated horror movie for this year's Halloween since Gullermo del Toro, the movie's director, released Pan's Labyrinth 10 years ago and was awarded 3 Oscars.

DOGS PLAYGROUND The special park for pets in Dist. 7 has been a frequent destination for animal-lovers in HCMC. In the early 2015, this playground opened at a total cost of VND600 million. Here, your pets can freely play with others while you can relax and watch them. The park consists of 3 parts for pets to pass obstacles (slip down and jump over rounds), climb ladders and swim. Not only they can freely walk around in a spacious area, dogs are allowed to play games, swim at the pool and play on slides. Particularly, there are two separate areas for small dogs and big ones so that they don't fight. The playground also offers you a small tent for your dog to take a rest after playing games. To bring your dog here, you just need to pay VND15,000 for a small dog and VND30,000 for a big dog. You are required to clean up your space if your dog has made a mess of it.

With its blend of salty, sweet, fatty and buttery taste, the cake is the quintessential food of Asia's wet rice culture.
Once my friend shared with
mooncakes are a little more sophisticated. Sweet-smelling cakes with rich filling of Chinese sausage, roasted chicken, or pork fat mixed with sugar and squash, find their origin in an old war story. A general wanted to send a secret message to his fellow soldiers. Coming up with the idea of hiding pieces of paper inside mooncakes, he offered others these sweet treats, which were subsequently passed around, spreading his secret message.
Japanese people consider Dango a must-eat dish on the evening of Tsukimi (Otsukimi, Mid-Autumn). These small, dainty white cakes made from rice flour look like floating cakes, and are often baked and eaten with Kuromistu sugar syrup or red bean sauce. Songpyeon is a type of steamed rice cake traditionally eaten during the Korean autumn harvest festival, Chuseok. Rice flour is kneaded with warm water, creating a crust to cover various fillings such as green bean, sesame seed and chestnut paste. Meanwhile, Filipinos always celebrate their Mid-Autumn Festival with Bakpia Hopia, a popular bean-filled pastry.
Henceforth, in the lunar month of August it is impossible to get through a Mid-Autumn Festival without giving or receiving dozens of mooncakes. My conversation with my friend got more interesting when she asked, "why is it that a mid-autumn festival is celebrated everywhere? Why not a mid-spring festival, or mid-summer?" Among Asian cultures, many of whom share in wet rice cultivation, this question doesn't need to be asked. August is the time when
me that she doesn't like eating cakes, but when the Mid-Autumn Festival comes to town, she just wants to enjoy a piece of baked mooncake, consisting of goldenbrown crust spread with yolk enveloping a smooth layer of sweet green bean paste and a salted egg yolk in the center. There are an array of mooncake varieties, depending on the country and culture of the cooks.
farmers take a rest after reaping the fruit of their labor. They can relax and gather to admire the beauty of the full moon while children run about, carrying colorful paper lanterns. Moon cakes always feature the flavors of sticky rice and beans as well as the feel of success and family celebration.

Traditional mooncake
ingredients can include dry preserved squash, Chinese sausage, lotus seeds, white sesame seeds, roasted peanuts, roasted chicken or pork, and especially julienne lime leaves - a secret for special taste. Salted egg is also an indispensable ingredient. Eggs are salted with various spices such as ginger, cinnamon, wine and sugar, depending on the chefs' preferences. The ingredients are often cooked in pork neck fat, giving the cake a richer flavor. With its blend of salty, sweet, fatty and buttery taste, the cake is the quintessential food of Asia's wet rice culture. Nowadays, there are many variants of mooncakes. Traditional recipes are fused with healthy ingredients such as roasted chicken, swallow's nest and Chia nuts. You can easily find new types of mooncake with the combination of Western and Asian styles, including green tea Tiramisu and Green Tea Custard Azuki. If you prefer the sweet smells of European cakes, a mooncake with Cheesy and Chocolate Oreo will bring you a new dining experience. Mooncakes, with the flavors of blueberry, pomelo and lotus seed, are favored by many foreigners and locals alike who are partial to unique tastes. For me, lotus seed paste is the best filling. Lotus seeds are boiled until soft and then blended. When you eat the cake, you can enjoy the original, mouth-watering flavor of lotus seed paste. In Vietnam, ice skin mooncakes, with the scent of pomelo flowers, are also eaten during the MidAutumn Festival. Glutinous rice is roasted and milled, then mixed with sugar syrup and a few drops of pomelo extract. If you're interested in making your own, use a spatula to stir the contents
together until it's well mixed. Keep the dough overnight. Mold the dough with a ball of green bean filling or green rice flake in the center. Press to implement the pattern and you will have a soft iceskin mooncake, a special gift for northern village autumn days. In the south of Vietnam, there is a strange variant of moon cake called Fresh Mooncake. Its crust is made of gracilaria, and the filling consists of flan, green bean or milk jelly. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming and the images of mothers and sisters making mooncakes, fathers making lanterns and children running in the streets are the most exciting scenes to look forward to. These traditional images will never fade out in the minds of Vietnamese people.

The Embassy of Peru and the Hilton Hanoi Hotel have successfully cooperated to hold Peruvian Food Festival Week at Chez Manon Restaurant, introducing diners to the quintessence of Peruvian cuisines. The most striking feature of Peruvian dishes is their harmonious combination of fresh and healthy ingredients from South Ameria. With various fresh vegetables and fruits, Peruvian food not only is flavorful but also provides a great amount of fiber and vitamins. Moreover, Peruvian chefs insist that an excellent dish has to be made both from fresh ingredients and from the heart of the chef in order for guests to fully enjoy their meal. Each Peruvian dish must be a gift offered with love and happiness, not just one made with tasty ingredients.
PERUVIAN CUISINE, FROM HEART TO HEART
PISCO SOUR, A FRESH START Pisco Sour is the traditional cocktail of Peru. According to its historic recipe, the main component is pisco wine, made from grapes harvested in Peru and Chile since colonial times (both countries claim the Pisco Sour as their national drink).

However, what makes the Pisco Sour of Peru different from the Chilean variant is, as you might have guessed, the kind of pisco wine being used, which in most versions of the national drink is Peruano pisco. Grapes are carefully selected and distilled to make the first extract with a concentration of 50 to 60. Afterward, the first extract is distilled again with a concentration between 40 and 47. The latter concentration is suitable for the best glass of Pisco Sour. Pisco Sour is a complimenting mixture of grape flavor (Peruano pisco), sweet and sour (lime and sugar), bitters (a few drops of Angostura wine) with a smooth texture thanks to whipped egg white, and the scent of cinnamon to top it off. This perfect combination promises to greet your tounge pleasantly and also provides a satisfying aftertaste. In Peru, Pisco Sour is a popular drink. Before a meal, Peruvians often enjoy this bitter yet refreshing cocktail. If you have the chance to dine in Peru, the Pisco Sour is sure to be the first name the waiter will recommend. Don't pass it up! TRAVELLIVE

CEVICHE, A SYMBOL OF INCA CULINARY ART With its a long coastline, Peru understandably takes advantage of its abundant source of fresh seafood. Ceviche is the crowning example of this resource put to good use, and is considered the pride of Peruvian culinary art. This dish is typically made from fresh, raw fish (traditional ceviche comes from white-meat fish) cured in citrus juices such as lemon or lime and seasoned with salt, chili and peppers. Ceviche is usually accompanied by side dishes such as fried sweet potato, lettuce and corn. The contrast between sweet corn and spicy chili gives a distinct flavour to the dish. Nowadays, ceviche is so popular that many people think it is a modern dish. However, it originates from the Inca Empire, long before the Spanish colonization brought citrus fruits to the area. The Inca used the juice of the tart tumbo fruit (in the same family as the passion fruit) from the Amazon to marinate the fresh fish. Due to a shorter preparation time, the use of Spanish lemons and limes became preferred during the 16th century. When enjoying ceviche during Peruvian Food Week, diners can also learn how to make it at home. You should pay great attention not only to the ingredients but also to the period of time required to marinate the fish properly; too long time could spoil the dish. Due to an influx of immigrants, there are now numerous variants of ceviche, from using just a little sesame to adding a little mustard or a few drops of salad dressing, all of which can change the flavor of the dish. Despite these changes, ceviche remains a simple dish even in its variations, with the taste of all, its ingredients still apparent. Sour lime, sweet sugar and seafood combined with hot chili create its historic flavor and ensure its durability not only as a delicious staple of Peru but also a symbol of Inca culinary art.

ARROZ CON PATO, THE STORY OF "HAPPY DUCKS"
@tap4call.wo™press.com
To enjoy arroz con pato, don't start with your fork, spoon or a lively patterned table-cover; instead, spend a few minutes listening the story of the happy Inca ducks. Peru has an abundance of sun, and its ducks are free to swim and get plenty of sunshine, helping them to grow big, strong, and tasty. Tropical sunlight seems to be absorbed into their skin and all that good weather for swimming allows the ducks' muscles to strengthen from their leisurely exercise. It is impossible for ducks raised in a limited space to be happy, say Peruvian chefs, and a sad duck is a poor choice when making a great arroz con pato. After being fried until well brown, the duck meat is stewed with green peas, garlic, peppers, beer and Peruano pisco. This method is the secret technique of chefs to get rid of the bad odor and makes the duck meat more flavorful. Once the duck is cooked, add rice and water. To complete the preparation of the dish according to Peruvian tradition, you need long grain rice, which won't stick to the other ingredients. Finally, we need a special sauce made from onion and bell chili, together with small leaves of fresh cilantro to ensure the dish won't cloy a diner's appetite. Arroz con pato is a dish made from happy ducks. When talking about arroz con pato, chefs always share something about their family and their love for the family kitchen. They prepare this dish with their own love and happiness; therefore, let's be happy when enjoying it! TRAVELLIVE

While arroz con pato bears traditional distinctions, Pisco Sour is claimed by both Peru and Chile, and ceviche is a great innovation in using imported raw ingredients, mazamorra morada is an interesting combination of purple Peruvian corn and fresh and dried fruits from around the world. It's hard to define this dish as traditional or modern, but whether it is sold by street vendors or at luxurious restaurants, mazamorra morada always attracts more and more diners.
@maxresdefault
If arroz con pato is associated with the story of happy ducks, then when enjoying mazamorra morada, let's follow the chef to explore what makes it such a special dish. First, simmer purple corn and watch the water change color, an exciting step in itself. Add seasonal ingredients such as apple, mango, peach, apricot, plum and pineapple to bring a sour flavor to the dish. Since children prefer sweet things, peach or grape preserve should be added. Last, cinnamon is the secret ingredient of venders to attract customers without any promotion. Mazamorra morada is just a kind of mixed dessert made by inspired chefs, but believe me, the combination of purple corn, the scent of cinnamon, and a mix of sweet seasonal fruits will make you wish you could have had the dish as part of your childhood!

Immerse yourself in the space of red and yellow leaves highlighting Baroque styled works of art in Dresden, look for pretty girls in fairytales in Copenhagen, walk along the most romantic roads in Vancouver, relax on the edge of hundred lakes in the wonderland of Jiuzhaigou or back to Northwest mountains covered by endless buckwheat flower fields in Vietnam. These “just like a dream� sceneries can enchant any traveler exploring the world this autumn.
ON THE BANKS OF THE ELBE RIVER Located 200 kilometers to the south of Germany’s capital, Dresden is well worth a visit. This city isn’t familiar to many, often overshadowed by other famous German cities such as Berlin or Munich. However, if you have a chance to visit Germany this autumn, Dresden is splendid choice if you wish to enjoy a gorgeous autumn in this beautiful part of the country. On the banks of the Elbe River, the city of Dresden is built on a gentle slope at the end of the Osterzgebirge Mountain range. Of all the attractive destinations in Dresden, the Gothic and Baroque architecture are the most preferred ones. First and foremost, Zwinger Palace, located on Theatre Square (Theaterplaz), is the most magnificent Baroque work of art in Germany. This building originally served as a festival arena for German aristocrats, but nowadays, it has become a museum complex that contains precious collections of art such as the Old Masters Picture Gallery, and the Porzellansammlung (Porcelain Collection). Zwinger also draws visitors with its ancient domes and myriad of statues skillfully carved in its stone cellars.
Just a few minutes walk away from Zwinger is the Dresden Frauenkirche (the Church of Our Lady), built in Augustus the Second’s period, which overlooks the poetic Elbe River. Coming here, visitors should see the unique stone fragments used to rebuild this church after the old one had been destroyed. The FURTHER INFORMATION ü From Vietnam you can fly to Dresden via Thai Airways, Deutsche Lufthansa, Kenya Airways, Aeroflot Russian or Cathay Pacific. ü Languages: German is the official language. But you can also easily communicate with locals in English. ü Currency: Germany lies within the Euro zone therefore the official currency of Dresden is the Euro. You can exchange money at any airport or any exchange office located in the city or simply use a credit card when shopping. ü Climate: Dresden has an oceanic climate; therefore, in the autumn, it is cooler than in tropical countries such as Vietnam. You should bring a scarf or thin coat to keep you warm in the early morning and late evening. ü Recommended destinations: Frauenkirche (the Church of Our Lady), Zwinger Palace, Theater Square, Grosser Garten Park, Furstenzug (Procession of Princes) and Dreikonigkirche (the Balcony of Europe)
difference between the old and new stones is visible. Each wall is a kind of mosaic of past and present, each telling travelers its own story. Furthermore, the Furstenzug church (the Procession of Princes) is a must-see for any visitor coming to Dresden this autumn, when the yellow sun splashes its rays against these stones every afternoon. If you want to experience the life of a local in Dresden, then spend your time walking along the streets through the residential areas, and take in the view of the red roofed houses shining under the gentle autumn sunlight. You and your family can also have a picnic in Grosser Garten Park. So spread out a picnic blanket on the green lawn, sunbathe and look at old couples holding hands walking together, and children playing in the yellow leaves. Here you will easily fall in love with autumn in Germany. The autumn winds make any visitor notice the trees quivering, and admire the green leaves turning a deeper shade of yellow each passing day. The locals of Dresden welcome these winds when they come to town, so do as they do, and close your eyes and let the autumn winds of Dresden flutter through your soul.

DISCOVER AUTUMN WITH LEAD SOLDIERS
V
oted as the healthiest city in the world, Copenhagen, the hometown of Lego, Carlsberg beer, and Bang & Olufsen, is an ideal getaway in Europe this autumn. Start your journey by exploring Copenhagen by buying a lead soldier at any gift shop here and then you can let “him” show you the way through your autumn in Copenhagen. From Kongens Nytorv Square, walk along Nyhavn, a 300 year-old canal, and admire the ancient beauty of the colorful houses in this bustling area of the city. At first sight, Copenhagen is remarkably in accord with what is depicted on any postcard, but it is indeed even more charming in person. Step in to the central area, and travel around the peaceful Amaliehavn port, to find the beautiful fountain near Amelienborg Palace. Looming over
the water is the green dome of the Marble Church near the resplendent Opera House. In the northern district of St. Alban, there is a bronze statue of the Little Mermaid, sculpted by the talented sculptor Edvard Eriksen. This statue was commissioned in 1909 by Carl Jacobsen, son of the founder of Carlsberg, who had been enchanted by a ballet that had portrayed this famous fairytale. Copenhagen is also famous for its pubs, each with its own local distinction. These pubs are well designed and offer many renowned Danish beers, including Carlsberg, Guld, Kilkenny, Tuborg, Somersby, Staropramen, Leffe Brune and Hoegaarden. Sitting on an antique leather chair, you will instantly notice the difference between the interior and exterior spaces in Copenhagen. It’s like being transported back 100 years ago in an old timeless pub. To fully enjoy the serene atmosphere here, you need just to stroll along the small brick roads leading you along as though in a fairytale, stop at a bakery, take a whiff of the aromatic cakes, and drink a cup of coffee while the wind plays in your hair. Maybe it’s because of these simple and subtle pleasures that Hans Christian Andersen spent most of his time at a “Peace” house here. You will certainly be enchanted by this city and wish to stay longer. FURTHER INFORMATION ü There are many airlines providing services from Vietnam to Copenhagen: Thai Airways, Cathay Pacific, Qatar Airlines, Emirates and Vietnam Airlines. ü Languages: Danish is the official language in Copenhagen. However, German and English are also widely used but not common. ü Currency: Denmark Krone (DKK). 1 Euro = 7.45 DKK ü Climate: Denmark has a temperate climate, characterized by a cool summer and fall and warm winter. You should wear light clothes with long sleeves and a scarf or light coat if necessary.

FLOWER SEASON ON STONE PLATEAU
A
utumn is always the best time for travelling because the weather is nice and gentle. It is not too sunny as summer or cold as winter. In the Northwest of Vietnam, Ha Giang is changing its fall colors, attracting tourists with its meandering roads, and with its pink and purple flowers and yellow rice fields promising a successful harvest.

Roads are quite narrow and meandering so you need to pay much attention to speed and personal safety equipment. ü Foods and drinks: This is a mountainous province and you can only find eateries at resident areas. You’d better bring some fast food to eat when traveling. In some towns such as Dong Van, Meo Vac and Xin Man, don’t miss “thang co”, a specialty of ethnic people here.

The fantastic beauty of these endless rice fields, especially in Hoang Su Phi, has been recognized as a national heritage site. In the autumn, Ha Giang’s mountains change into their new colors while people become frienlier and more joyful. The meandering roads will bring you to hills and mountains covered with the changing of leaves and highlighted by the magical colors of pink, red and purple flowers then to terraced rice fields stretching to the skyline. On these romantic days in Ha Giang, visit stone park, sip a cup of corn wine and enjoy a bowl of “thang co” at the market. It feels like everything is more beautiful in the autumn. Just simple yet charming, the picture of autumn in Ha Giang can enchants any visitors.

Have you ever been obsessed by a strange destination that you have never visited, then had the urge to look for it just to know whether it exists or not?
I have felt that obsession for a long time. And when I finally found the place, I was so overjoyed I felt like I was dreaming. Two years ago, I read a story written by a blogger about a valley of green smoke. For me, the story is like a novel with brave, romantic characters. It is not a love story with champagne, roses, or a handsome boy and beautiful girl whispering sweet things. But, for me, it’s a beautiful story about the courage which can overcome anything to get what makes us really happy. The idyllic Green Smoke Valley with a little wooden house is my dream too. “The wooden house leans into the mountain, looking down a valley and up the Hoang Lien Son range towards the high peak of Fansipan”.
TRAVELLIVE
I am obsessed by the valley, the wooden house and the two main characters who first fell in love during their journey to conquer Fansipan and are now married with two pretty children. After that, they decided to leave their noisy urban life and move to the valley. They bought a plot of land, built a wooden house near Mr Chu’s house (their
The idyllic Green Smoke Valley with a little wooden house is my dream too. “The wooden house leans into the mountain, looking down a valley and up the Hoang Lien Son range towards the high peak of Fansipan”. porter on the way to Fansipan) and became neighbors of the H’Mong ethnic people. To relieve my obsession, I decided
to travel to the valley and seek the truth of the story. There is no cable car yet when I set off for Fansipan. During the trip, I ask Cang, my porter, if he knows about a valley called “Green Smoke” at the foot of Hoang Lien Son Mountain. His answer is “No”. I also ask some local people, but they have only heard of Muong Hoa valley. I determine to find it myself.

The romantic wooden house leaning into the mountain and the characters in the story are all real.
From Sapa town center, we pass Cat Cat village and arrive at Sin Chai village in San Sa Ho commune to find the way to Mr Chu’s house. The village is very deserted this afternoon, with just a few local adults and kids around. Most of them cannot speak Vietnamese. We carry on round the village to a narrow muddy road, just wide enough for a motorbike. I drop into a local house to ask whether they know Mr Chu. At the end of the village, a little house with a pumpkin fence appears. Some kids are skipping around while a woman chases chickens and ducks in the garden. They cannot understand Vietnamese. It’s cold, and so foggy that we cannot see each other, even from a very short distance. I can’t see if there is a little house leaning into the mountain, overlooking the Hoang Lien Son range. The day gets more and more obscure. We have a broken headlight, so we have to return to Sapa before dusk. We will be able to return to the village tomorrow. On the following morning, it’s sunny with a clear sky and white clouds. My fellow traveler and I return to Sin Chai. On a nice day like this, we can appreciate the beautiful scenery around the village. Although

Sin Chai village is just 5km from Sapa and nearby Cat Cat tourist village, this place feels isolated. Few visitors or tourist services are seen here. Local houses are scattered on the mountain slope, mainly from the Black H’Mong ethnic group. The village is very peaceful. The houses are traditionally made of wood, with soil floors, and fences outside. We travel to the house we saw yesterday and ask a man who can speak Vietnamese about Mr. Chu. He points to the woman standing at the door “That’s Chu’s wife!” I am very surprised and reply “That’s a coincidence! Yesterday we found what we were looking for but we didn’t know.” I Further information: ü The best time to visit Sapa and the Green Smoke Valley is April and May. During this time, it is not often rainy in the day and not too cold in the evening. You only need to bring a thin coat if you go out in the evening or stay overnight in the village with local ethnic people. ü Particularly, during April and May, villages in Sapa are filled with blooming flowers and green terraced fields. ü The most interesting way to travel around this region is by motorbike. You can hire a motorbike at Sapa town in a few days. If you like trekking, you can take a trekking tour to Cat Cat, Sin Chai, Ho, Ta Phin and Ta Van villages in some days to explore the cultures of ethnic minorities.
hold the woman’s hands and speak profusely, though she cannot understand a word. “Oh, I’m so happy to meet you! I saw you yesterday but I didn’t know who you were!” I don’t manage to get a grip on myself until Mr Chu arrives at the house. His wife is called Gia. They are nearly 40 years old and have 6 children. Their two youngest kids are at a boarding-school in the town, while the oldest child is a porter who takes visitors to Fansipan. The two characters in the story are Duc and Mai, who bought a wooden house next to the Chu’s house and asked them to take care of it. They come back here twice a year to immerse themselves in the sky and people of the Northwest. I am delighted to have found this place. I can hardly believe this was the house in the story, the woman chasing chickens was Mr Chu’s wife and the skipping child was their son. The romantic wooden house and the characters in the story are all real. I have found the wooden house leaning into the mountain, looking down a valley and up the Hoang Lien Son range towards the high peak of Fansipan. Back in Hanoi, I claim the place as my own Valley of Dreams.

SINTRA
Located just 30km from Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, Sintra is a must-see destination for any visitor coming to Portugal this autumn. This beautiful small town has been recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage site since 1995 by virtue of its 19th-century European Romantic architecture.

The road to Sintra itself is breathtaking. Our driver takes the road slowly to give us the chance to admire the beauty of the sea and all its surroundings. After a short stop in Cascai, a small fishing village which has inspired many artists throughout southern Europe, our car navigates through the small streets before slowly heading up to Sintra.
PALACIO DE PENA, THE FAIRYTALE CASTLE The Pena National Palace constitutes one of the major expressions of 19th-century Romanticism in Portugal. This palace expresses a profusion of styles including Neo-Gothic and Neo-Renaissance, which in harmony and combination with each other make this palace quite remarkable. The palace stands on the top of
Sintra hill surrounded by the lush greenery. Visitors are happy to take the time to buy tickets since they surely won’t be disappointed by their visit to this extraordinary palace, which appears like a fairytale castle right from the great. Each section of the exterior is individually adorned with vivid colors, but all the while remaining harmonious with each other. Once upon a time, this castle was seat to the Royal family who built it in a North African style, with round towers, onion domes, yellow walls and blue tiles carved with statues of sea monsters and corals. The oratory was designed as a medieval fortress with pink walls, while the reception hall follows a Gothic style with grey stones surrounded by a courtyard that displays temperate and tropical plants, such as camellias and cycads.

POETIC OLD TOWN What has impressed me most about Sintra is the way in which locals and visitors alike enjoy the beautiful life here. Sintra is small and quaint but lovely and alluring. The old town with its small houses painted in white and adorned with colorful ceramic tiles are all individually and harmoniously fascinating. The zigzag of cobble roads leads you to local bars and lovely souvenir shops. Charmingly uneven white walls are highlighted with amusing signs over which flower baskets quiver in the autumn wind. The colorful ceramic products displayed in various shops are mesmerizing. After thousands of years, ceramic arts in Portugal are still notable and draw a large number of visitors to see their works. Not only do the paintings on these ceramics bear witness to the value of a unique culture, but every work showcases the creativity and talent of each individual artist.
PORTUGUESE CUISINE Without a doubt, you can find delicious and flavorful food throughout Portugal thanks to its impressive and fertile nature as well as its long history of fishing. Seafood here is among the finest in the world. There is also a wide variety of seafood available in every restaurant ranging from the affordable to the luxurious. But on any menu, it is nearly impossible to go without Bacalhau. Bacalhau is dried and salted codfish. Almost every visitor to Portugal wishes to try this special dish. The
CERAMIC ARTS IN PORTUGAL BEAR WITNESS TO THE VALUE OF A UNIQUE CULTURE, WHILE THEIR EVERY WORK SHOWCASES THE CREATIVITY AND TALENT OF EACH INDIVIDUAL ARTIST.
codfish is first salted and dried under the hot sun. This ancient method of preservation makes it possible to store indefinitely. Secondly to cook this special dish, it is said that more than 200 recipes exist. However, baking is the prefered way to retain its fresh flavor while locals also indulge in making cakes from codfish.
P
ortugal is renowned for its soups and stews. I was advised by a local to try caldo verde. This soup is made from sliced soft cabbage, potato, onion, garlic and olive oil. Also, I swear I can still taste the caramel ice cream made from syrup that I ate, with its toppings of cheese, rice pudding, and cinnamon powder. The aroma of sweet pudding and cinnamon will make you want to eat another one right after you have just finished the first. Though I only stayed here one day, Sintra is always in my mind because of the sweet and meaningful memories I have from there. The town with its beauty and Iberian cultural values has helped me better understand the concept and benefits of a slower lifestyle. The space in which the life takes place in Sintra seems to be worlds away from the world’s dramatic changes. Sintra lives on like a sweet dream for art lovers, as well as for me, it is a place I will always remember. Further information: ü After travelling by plane from HCMC to Lisbon, you can take a train or bus to Sintra. The journey from Lisbon to Sintra takes about 1 hour. But you can also try an auto rickshaw (or tuk tuk) to better admire the beautiful roads or occasionally stop to explore the surroundings. For more information please visit www. flyingtooktuk.com. ü Hotel: you can find hotels near the center ranging from 50 to 100 Euros. ü Cuisine: Located on the Iberian peninsula, Sintra offers you a variety of fresh seafood. Don’t forget to try bacalhau, Portugal’s famous and unique dried and salted codfish.

Only 7km long and 1km wide at the narrowest point, the postcard-shaped island, Boracay, in the Philippines, was voted by Travel + Leisure Magazine as one of the most beautiful islands in the world in 2012.

So leave all your worries behind and enjoy your sweet honeymoon on this paradise island.
White sand beaches, blue water and sky There is no doubt that any visitor coming to this island country is amazed by the pristine beauty of its beaches. However, if you can only choose one of them, then Boracay, one of the most beautiful islands in the world voted by Travel + Leisure’s readers, should be the one. There would be nothing better than immersing yourself in the sparking blue water and becoming completely relaxed by the powdery sand of White Beach or whispering a few sweet stories and sharing your feelings after the wedding

in the tranquil space of Puka Beach. Let the sounds of sea breeze and waves touch the shoreline, together with your jokes and sweet conversation, create a sentimental melody of happiness.
High wind and rolling wave Unlike the calm water of White Beach and Puka Beach, Bugalog Beach, located on the eastern side of the island, is one of the Asia’s most attractive destinations for kite surfers.
Higher wind and rolling waves with white foam combine to create a fantastic environment for you to windsurf or challenge yourselves with other adventurous water sports. You can easily rent the necessary equipment or find a professional instructor, then carve your own paths through the waves. With a big parachute, imagine how amazing it is if you and your life partner can hold hands and enjoy exciting moments while seeing the sea sparking like sapphire below. If you prefer a more thrilling
and interesting trip, you can go scuba diving to explore the diversity of the marine life around Crocodile Island or test the level of your bravery by taking the plunge from Ariel’s Point into the crystalline water below. After all the sports, indulge in a luxurious massage right on the beach, enjoy a healthy mango shake or take a relaxing dip in the infinity pool of the Shangri-La Resort and Spa, with its mesmerizing view of the sea.
Colorful sunset from Willy’s Rock It is easy to fall in love with the glorious sunset at Willy’s Rock, the iconic landmark of Boracay. Situated one hundred meters off shore, in the shallow water near Boat Station 1,Willy’s Rock, with a statue of the Virgin Mary on the top, is the most photographed on the island. Forget all the beautiful pictures of this place that you have ever seen, just enjoy the enchanting scene of the sunset which touches the soul of thousands of visitors, and save it in your own mind. In front of your eyes is the reflection of a fiery red sun ripping through the sparking ocean, making the immense sky more magical. In this romantic space, kiss your partner softly, sit shoulder to shoulder without talking to take in these sweet moments. Time will stop for you. You can also rent a kayak to travel around the cliff and let the red, orange rays fill your boat. The scene is simple and romantic like your faithful and long lasting love. Your honeymoon journey will not really be complete without the effervescent atmosphere

of the night life on the beach. Walk along the shoreline, stop at a bar or club glistening in lights and enjoy a few sips and a good groove. Boracay appears to boast a new beauty far different from that in the daytime.

From Rähahn’s point of view, one of the most significant qualities of a photographer is the ability to capture random and natural moments. Rähahn pays great attention to each moment to produce highlights in his photos that allows viewers to discover for themselves the beauty of them, especially in this collection. During his seven years travelling on his motorbike, covering a quarter of the country, Rähahn has captured more than 35,000 photos and he would like to share with Travellive’s readers his most favored ones.

STREETS OF HOI AN Hoi An has been recognized by UNESSCO as a World Heritage site. It is one of the most visited destination because of its architecture. The yellow walls are damaged by the floods every year. In the glow of the morning light, they become golden. The walking area is the best part of this city. No motorbikes, no cars, you can only see people and bicycles. Tourists often arrive here after 9am; so it can feel like being back in the old days while walking and meeting only local people.

It’s not an exaggeration that Korea is a shopper’s paradise. Located across Korea, giant shopping malls are renowned for a wide range of splendid luxury brands providing from garments and cosmetics to electronics while traditional markets with over 600 years of history preserve their own distinct culture.
Seoul - A Mecca for shoppers With the effervescent development of fashion industry and numerous busy shopping centers, Seoul, the capital of Korea, draws millions of international tourists each year. Myeong-dong is one of the busiest places in Seoul and is among Korea’s premier shopping destinations. Over 1 million shoppers pass through this area each and every day. Located in the heart of Seoul, Myeong-dong market has been a witness to Korea’s tumultuous modern-day history. Two anchor department stores, Lotte and Shinsegae, and a number of large shopping malls lie along the streets of Myeong-dong. Shops for garments or cosmetics can be seen at every corner, and street stalls dot the spaces in between, offering tasty snacks, inexpensive clothes, or sparkling accessories. The area’s well-developed transportation grid makes it the ideal place for visitors who may not yet be familiar with the bustling Seoul.
Myeong-dong and you can visit Insa-dong not only for shopping but also to learn more about Korean traditional culture. During the Joseon Dynasty, the street was a place for painters. Nowadays, visitors coming to this street can shop for a wide variety of Korean goods such as hanbok, hanji (traditional paper), traditional teas, pottery, and folk crafts. Don’t forget to spend time at Tong-in Store and Ssamzielgil, where you can purchase high quality traditional souvenirs as well as modern designs made by Korea’s young artists. Another must-visit destination for shopping in Seoul is
travel
Dongdaemun market, which is home to the largest clothing suppliers in Korea. Some of the area’s major retail shopping malls are Migliore, Doota, Hello apM, Good Morning City, and Cerestar. In the evening from 8pm to midnight, visitors can find themselves a party to one of Seoul’s busiest street scenes with music, sparkling lights and various trendy fashion products. Apgujeong & Cheongdam, Itaewon, Times Square are three attractions for shopaholics coming to Seoul.

Busan - the biggest traditional seafood markets While Seoul is effervescent with busy shopping malls and crowed streets, Busan is popular with the intimate and friendly shopping space at traditional market. Formed in the late 19th century, Jagalchi Market in Busan is one of the best-known seafood markets in Korea. No matter the season, Jagalchi Market teems with female merchants proudly displaying their seafood products and calling out to potential customers. agalchi Market opens very early in the morning, when hordes of boats start pulling into the Busan Port, piled high with fresh seafood caught during the night. As soon as you enter Jagalchi Market, you are immediately hit by the smell of the ocean emanating from
buckets of fish, crabs, and sea squirts. Besides providing fresh seafood, Jagalchi Market is connected with several other seafood markets, namely the Busan Fish and Shellfish Market, and the Dried Fish Market. Just a few meters away from the Jagalchi Market is Pojangmacha Street, an area almost completely blanketed by street stalls selling local delicacies like raw whale meat and roasted sea eels marinated with red pepper paste. Besides the famous seafood market, Busan also boasts bustling shopping areas, especially Gukje Market, the largest traditional market in this city. Gukje Market reflects the heyday of Busan as one of the busiest cities in Korea in terms of commerce and trade. Here, visitors can easily get lost because of countless shops, and street stalls in numerous alleys such as Shoe Alley, Bag
Alley, Jewelry Alley, Eyeglasses Alley, Art Alley and so on. Reasonable prices along with a wide selection of imported and domestic goods, makes Gukje Market one of the best, onestop shopping spots in town. Located near Gukje Market, Nampo-dong is a shopping paradise of Busan with a wide variety of stores concentrated mostly on the main streets, selling luxury brands. But the true attraction of shopping in Nampo-dong lies in the shops and stalls specializing in imported goods. From clothing to shoes, bags, and fashion accessories, the stores offer products that draw not only teens, but young professionals as well. You can choose an array of brand items here, but the main street in Nampodong is the ultimate shopping destination for young people searching for ways to jazz up their casual wardrobes with non-brand ones.
Places for special “Jeju items� Unlike bustling Seoul and Busan, Jeju is a tranquil place for simple lifestyle. It is also the reason why crowed shopping malls are hardly be seen on the island. However, shopaholics never forget their habit when visiting Jeju. This beautiful island is famous for colorful locallyproduced items representative of Jeju and Jeju culture such as: delicious Jeju tangerines, red tilefish, chocolate and Harubang statues. They can easily be found at any of the tourist shops located throughout the island villages

and towns. You can visit Five Day Markets including Seogwipo, Jungmun Hyangto and Hallim to experience folk culture and find inexpensive Jeju products. In order to buy souvenirs and local products of Jeju, you can visit duty-free shops located in the Jeju International Airport or the Jeju International Convention Center. Especially, at Teddy Bear Museum visitors can buy interesting souvenirs with the images of Teddy bears. Another must-try specialty of Jeju is green tea. Jeju’s water, soil, and weather make it an ideal place to produce exquisite green teas. Don’t forget to spend time at O’sulloc Tea Museum experiencing tea and the tea culture in Korea. Fresh agricultural items and seafood can also be found in the Seogwipo Maeil Market and the Dongmun Seafood Market, which are open every day. FURTHER INFORMATION ü Korea Grand Sale is a shopping and tourism festival from August 14th to October 31st, with an array of special and unprecedented benefits. During the Grand Sale, stores from 222 businesses of different types such as department stores, duty-free shops and airlines are showing their high rate of participation with huge discount and offers. Visitors can get 80% discount at most for some brands at Lotte Duty Free. Moreover, popular performances and shows will provide 50% discount for foreigners to enjoy various cultural experience in addition to shopping. ü In the North of Vietnam, travelers who already own Platinum credit cards of Shinhan Bank Vietnam are not required to show financial proof and will be prioritized when asking for multiple visa to visit Korea. ü Currency: Won. 1 USD = 1120 Won. You can exchange money at airports and exchange offices in the city or use credit card to go shopping. TRAVELLIVE

HARVEST SEASON IN MUONG HUM Photo: Le HONG HA In September, when rice fields in Mu Cang Chai are still green, the ones in Hoang Su Phi and Xin Man have changed their color. While rice has just flowered in Than Uyen and Tan Uyen, it has already ripen in Muong Hum. Together with Sapa and Y Ty, Muong Hum is one of the most beautiful terraced rice fields in Lao Cai. From the first days of September, every road and corner of this valley are filled with the yellow color of prosperity. Locals are working tirelessly. The nature and people all together create the magnificent picture of life.
