Wandering around West Lake, Hoan Kiem Lake, or strolling down a few streets under the shade of trees are the best experiences these days.

THE GOLDEN AUTUMN OF LOVE

rom mid-September to the end of October is the “gold” time for tourists to enjoy the yellow rice paddy fields of the Northwest, from Sapa and Y Ty to Quan Ba and Mu Cang Chai. It is quite difficult to point out the most beautiful rice terraces of this season as each destination has its own beauty, but Mu Cang Chai is the most popular. On the way to these famous mountains in the Northwest, you will have a chance to experience thrilling hours of turning sharp curves on the way to Khau Pha Peak, admire the sunrise at Tu Le Valley, enjoy the aromatic sweet sticky rice, and attend the famous weekend market. The terraces in La Pan Tan, Che Cu Nha, and De Xu Phinh have become frequent "stops" for tourists who wish to admire the yellow rice paddies. In the afternoon, the sunbeams lightly paint yellow stripes on the terraces. After each curve, the immense golden rice, layer by layer, stretches from the valley to the hillside. Sometimes it even reaches up to the misty summits, representing a rich and fulfilled harvest. During your trip, do not forget to spend a night in Tu Le. In the morning, try to get up a little earlier than usual, go jogging while the sun is still shrouded by mist, and admire the panorama of Tu Le Valley reflected by the pure sunshine. TRAVELLIVE

BUCKWHEAT FLOWERS ON THE ROCKy HIGHLANDS

he buckwheat season in Ha Giang lasts from late October to the end of December. A mix of red, white, and pink flowers covers the fields, the beds of streams,the jagged cat ear rocks, and roadside slopes.

The tiny mauve buckwheat flowers seem fragile, but in bunches, they form colorful patches adorning the rocky highlands of Ha Giang. The buckwheat trees were originally planted along rocky slopes and hills for food, but they have become a "specialty" of the land in the eyes of travelers. Apart from the buckwheat flowers, Ha Giang enchants visitors with its exclusive landscapes of Quan Ba double mountain, the green river of Nho Que, Cat King palace, Lung Cu flagpole, Dong Van Town, and especially the Khau Vai love market.

DREAMS IN THE FOREST OF BUTTERFLIES

ocated 150 kilometers from Ho Chi Minh City and stretching across Dong Nai, Lam Dong, and Binh Phuoc and separated from the outside world by the Dong Nai river, Nam Cat Tien National Park attracts tourists by its simple and natural beauty with rich systems of flora and fauna. Going to Nam Cat Tien National Park in the rainy season from September to October, you can easily be mesmerized by the colorful butterflies of the tropical region, creating a strange scene and beautiful fairy domain. The puddles after heavy showers are the favorite gathering place of butterflies. Morning is also an ideal time to see hundreds of butterflies flying along the trails into the forest. Accounting for more than 50 percent of the butterflies in Vietnam, Nam Cat Tien National Park allows you to see butterflies in every corner. You can even reach out and touch some “friendly”

butterflies. Going deep into the forest and caves, you will find thousands of butterflies fluttering in the sun and creeping over the stones, which is a wonderful spectacle that words are just not enough to describe. The trip is also a chance for you to learn about the many kinds of trees in the forest as well as their benefits to the life of local people while trekking to the Doi Xanh. Lying on the edge of Nam Cat Tien National Park among nature and the cultural diversity of ethnic minorities, the Ta Lai Longhouse is an exciting destination for anyone who wishes to stay away from the stuffiness of life for a little while. Designed by the Ta Lai village elders, the Ta Lai Longhouse’s is made of palm leaves wood and bamboo. Founded by the WWF, this community tourism model was set-up to preserve the traditional culture of the local ethnic minorities as well as raise awareness for environment protection.

vIvID RED MAPLE LEAvES Located in Daigo, Fukuroka district, the Fukudora falls is one of the three most beautiful waterfalls in Japan. It is 73m wide while its height reaches 120m. The falls consist of 4 tiers formed by layers of sedimentary rock stacked 15 million years ago. During autumn, visitors will have a chance to contemplate the stunning beauty of the falls among the yellow and red maple leaves. All of us stood patiently in a long line, waiting to have the best place to take pictures of the charming Fukudora. To reach the falls, you need to walk past bustling streets with lots of souvenir shops. Don’t be too distracted by the pretty goods there. You should rather spend your time strolling down the small path first. Visit the rustic houses along the road and let your soul be carried away by nature. TRAVELLIVE

Szächenyi, Europe's biggest herbal bathing pool, is an ideal destination in the incipient cold days at the city called "the Paris of the East”. ‰MUST-TRY FOOD: Langos is a street food with sour cream, garlic, cheese, ham, and a sauce.

TRAVEL BACK IN TIME The first time visiting a coffee house in Hanoi was when a friend led me to an extremely small and low-roofed house. I had no idea that I was entering one of the four most famous local coffee houses in the thousand-year capital. There was neither a signboard nor a name. And the first floor was engulfed in backpacks, plastic red chairs, and many little things. Little did I know, there was another world behind those cranky, old and dark stairs leading to the second floor. Everything there seemed to have stayed still since the French Indochina age, when the house was still a glamorous villa painted earthen yellow with white and black tints, when people did not have to drink coffee in a hurry to keep up with the modern industrialized pace.

t felt so nostalgic as I walked into the foggy room filled with incense, touched the stained yellow walls, and looked at people waiting for every drop of the brown liquid from the ill-shaped filter. The clock reversed to bring back what once was ours: slow living. Slowing down let us savor life more. As a Saigonese, I got used to the fast speed of life in bustling coffee shops which were crowded with groups of friends talking, laughing and taking photos; hence, I was so surprised when the coffee house was so silent despite of being packed. There was something in the air that made us whisper. It was a tranquil yet strange experience, drinking coffee in an ancient house in Ha Noi.

EGG COFFEE - RECIPE OF AUTUMN The most special drink of most long-standing cafäs in Ha Noi was, of course, egg-coffee. Egg coffee was a rich and creamy dairy-like concoction made by whipping egg yolk with condensed milk into an airy froth, then adding hot black coffee. Making egg coffee is pretty simple, but each barista has their own secret recipe to create their signatures: some added cacao powder, others honey, etc. I loved it most when it was hot. Instead of stirring up the cup, I appreciated a spoon with different layers: the strong dark traditional Vietnamese coffee topped with soft froth has the texture of a cappuccino, and the flavor of flan. The beverage tasted like a melody!

It was hard to describe that feeling of egg’s sweet fragrance and the aroma of coffee lingering on the palate... The fragrance and taste, coupled with the atmosphere made the whole experience very Hanoian. At that moment, I thought I knew why old-time coffee houses like this one became one of the most popular features in Ha Noi, and still are to this day. Even though this coffee house was old, dark and plain, it carried a captivating tacit charm, which inveigled people who once walked in to keep coming again and again. The best days to go out for a cup of egg coffee are windy days in autumn and freezing days in winter. Eggs became more delicious and condensed on cold days, hence, egg foam is more cloudlike. It is like how cows’ milk in the highlands often stays richer and creates heavier whey as cows had to keep more fat and nutritions in colder weather. This autumn, have you found out your favourite place to come for a sip of egg-coffee? TRAVELLIVE

The Tea House is my favorite tea brand. Without any rare or imported ingredients, it entices me with an array of homemade tea recipes carefully created from the heart of the tea makers. Unlike traditional teas such as green tea with the fragrance of lotus or jasmine, each type of tea at the Tea House is a perfect combination of numerous ingredients. To create a tea recipe, the tea makers have to spend considerable time and effort to choose suitable ingredients and mix them together. When simple herbs such as mint, marjoram, lemon, lemongrass, and orange, cinnamon, as well as common flowers such as daisy, rose, jasmine, and hibiscus are mixed, they have their own power to create a fragrant and exquisite tea, awakening all my senses and helping me recharge. As a drink, herbal tea is a magical method to improve your health, release pain and stress, reduce cholesterol, stimulate digestion, make your skin more beautiful, purify your body, and make you sleep better. In the light sunshine of autumn, sit near a window, watch the water change color as the tea steeps, and feel the fragrance of each ingredient blending together. What a wonderful way to enjoy autumn while light winds come in throught our windows!

TASTE NEW AUTUMN FLAVORS WITH TARTARE

The fans of the Mr. Bean series are certainly familiar with steak tartare which aroused a profusion of strange facial expressions from him. It is also considered one of the ten must-try dishes in your lifetime. Tartare dishes are very popular in European countries and have consistently been ranked among the most luxurious and exquisite cuisines. As the dishes are completely "raw", delicious tartare also includes extremely fresh and tasty pork or fish. To make the best beef tartare, tenderloin (Australian beef) which is firm, succulent and known to be the tastiest part of

the cow, is carefully selected. Without any sophisticated steps or cooking techniques, beef is minced and mixed with wine or lime. Salt, pepper, and egg yolk are also added. The quality of the dish lies on the taste of ingredients, bringing diners the freshest beef flavor. Tartare is usually served with bread, vegetables, and a side of fries in Germany or pita bread in the Middle East. Apart from beef tartare, tartares made from salmon, lobster, sea bass, or oysters are also delicious and exquisite. The most

famous one is oyster tartare - the perfect combination of raw oysters with lemon juice or mustard. In this way the succulence and greasy taste of oysters will be retained in a way that no cooking method can manage. If steak xartare is France's pride, Italy is famous for carpaccio made from one-mm-thin slices of fresh salmon or meat along with Parmesan cheese. Meanwhile, Germany boasts their Hackepeter (or Mett) made from premium minced pork with onions, cilantro, pepper, and other spices. This autumn, treat yourself with a brand new tartare experience!

TO CONQUER THE CHALLENGES Typhon’s greatest recorded instance of wrath was in 1669 when Etna burned down ten entire villages and all the city walls of Catania. But while Typhon forces people to remember its wrath, Etna attracts explorers from around the world with by its imposing nature.

THE BEAUTIFUL GIRL OF SICILY ISLAND

I departed from the bus station at Catania - the second largest city in Sicily, after Palermo. In two hours, my bus went around from the foot mountain to Rifugio Sapienza Station. Along the roadside were several houses hidden in dust from the last eruption. The only things we could see were their roofs and low groves. At the next stage, the car cable system brought me from Sapienza Station halfway up the mountain to 2,500m. In 1971 and 2001, Etna was like an awakened queen, aggressively burning the entire cable system.

After trips to cities on the European mainland, I decided to try Sicily - a beautiful island with a rich history to the south of Italy. The great poet Upon getting out of the car cable, I was WHILE TYPHON Goethe claimed that "to have seen Italy greeted by strong winds slapping on my face. FORCES PEOPLE without having seen Sicily is not to have How special this greeting was! For the last TO REMEMBER ITS WRATH, seen Italy at all, for Sicily is the clue to stage, you can reach the peak by climbing ETNA ATTRACTS everything". Like the last arrow pinning at or jeep. I told to myself, with such stunning EXPLORERS FROM the heart of the visitor, the majestic Etna surroundings, only “weak” travelers need AROUND THE made me give my love to the exciting land of WORLD WITH jeeps. So I accepted the challenge! ITS IMPOSING Sicily. The soil on Etna is jet black from constant NATURE. Mt. Etna is one of the 16 volcanoes studied eruptions. Plants are nowhere to be found. by IAVCEI (the International Association In the world of this haughty woman, there of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth’s Interior) and is only black soil, white snow, and blue sky. I walked in among the few volcanoes that are constantly active. With silence, following the hikers. Sometimes I stopped to a height of 3,350m, Etna is the highest volcano in Europe breathe the fresh air, look around, and take photos carefully, and attracts a large portion of Sicily’s visitors. In Sicilian, as though any careless action would awake the Etna, the Etna is called Muncibeddu - the beautiful mountain. As gypsy woman. The stage which is more than 2500m high its name reflects, Etna is like a beautiful haughty woman, above sea level is not easy at all. Wriggling along paths daring the toughest and most patient travelers to summit winding up the mountain, slowly clinging to large patches her peak. of ice, and avoiding the high suspension jeeps lumbering upwards were my best memories. Though as many trips I will take, I will never forget this journey.

t takes about 2 hours to reach the peak. Sometimes, you feel like you can’t breathe anymore and all you want to do is wait for someone to help. However, you have no choice but continue going as you can only take a round-trip Jeep ticket from the station. Otherwise, your frozen feet are the only transportation. The higher you go, the harder the slopes are. With low air pressure, breathing alone is your primary concern. A fellow visitor realized I was quite exhausted and tried his best to encourage me with funny stories but I could only give vague smiles in return as I had little energy for the coming slopes. Far different from the warm, even hot, weather in the lowland cities, the temperature on Etna is extremely low. The advice for any travelers who want to conquer this mountain is to prepare thick clothes, scarves, beanies, and of course, water-proof hiking shoes with fur. Finally, after such hard hours, I set foot upon the peak of the Europe’s highest volcano. With hot lava flowing inside, Etna releases smoke into the air even on her most peaceful days. On the top of the majestic Etna, I was surrounded in white clouds. My eyes captured all of western Sicily, the cable system now looked like tiny ants, and the dark blue ocean was far away. At such moments, when you need to hold your breath, the magnificent beauty of nature surely deserves the thousand meter trip up Etna. While strong winds and snow challenge your ascent, the way back down is relaxing. After noon, the sun appears behind the peak and melts the snow. The team stops at the cable station and enjoys cups of hot tea and coffee while chatting excitedly about Mt. Etna’s beauty like young men who have made their dreams with the dreamy gypsy woman come true. Apart from Etna - the main volcano, there are two others on the left of Sapienza Station. They are fairly low and inactive. You can visit these volcanoes to learn more about the soil structure inside them. My journey to Etna lasted only a day, but believe me, it is one of my most impressive and memorable trips. If you are interested in challenging experiences, then beautiful Etna must be on your list.

Finally, after such hard hours, I set foot upon the peak of the Europe’s highest volcano.

FURTHER INFORMATION: ITINERARY: ü You can fly from Vietnam to Rome or Milan, Italy with Qatar Airways and Emirates Airlines. Then, travel to Sicily by Treinitaly train or fly with Alitalia, RyanAir. TOURS: ü For detailed information related to the tour to Etna, please visit www.etnaexcursion.it and choose the suitable one. Prices start at 75 EUR. In addition, if you want to explore Etna by yourself, you look for information at www.etnatracking.com WEATHER: ü Winter in European countries and Italy often ends after March, this also the best time to conquer Etna. NOTE: ü You should depart in the early morning before the ice melts, which is most convenient for travelling and sightseeing. Prepare waterproof hiking shoes and food for lunch as there aren’t any restaurants or food stalls on the way. TRAVELLIVE

years. Despite spending just a few minutes at the Poliorama Theater (Teatre Poliorama), we had enough time to enjoy flamenco performances with its percussive footwork and dancing in the firey tunes. We had tapas - the famous Spanish appetizer for lunch. Prepared with ingredients such as cheese, olive oil, ham, and chorizo, tapas are included in most meals of locals. And of course, our meal was complete with cava. Mainly produced in Penedes, the northeastern region of Spain, cava is a traditional sparkling wine. Never miss this special thing when you are here.

ocated in the West of Spain, along the coast of the sunny and windy Mediterranean, Barcelona is an ideal destination for those who love beautiful landscapes and unique architecture such as La Sagrada Familia, the Barri Gothic Quarter, the Arc de Triomf, Casa Batllo, and Guell park. As the second largest city in Spain (after the capital, Madrid), Barcelona is home to a myriad of the world’s cultural heritage works with villas, castles, and churches bearing the distinctive features of Renaissance architecture.

A BUSY YET RELAXING DAY IN BARCA I chose the best way to start an autumn day in Barca with a cup of

milk coffee and pastries at a cafe on La Rambla in the heart of the city. After strolling down the street in the early sunshine, my boyfriend and I arrived at Plaza Catalnya Square to partake in the “Free walking tour”. Our young tour guide and other visitors were ready and eager to explore the city. We walked to the Barri Gotic Quarter, then stopped by Palau de la MÛsica Catalana (Palace of Catalan Music) which has been recognized by UNESCO as a world heritage site. The next destination was the well-known Picasso Museum, which houses one of the most extensive collections of artwork by Pablo Picasso. Another must-visit museum in Barcelona is Museu d'Historia de Barcelona (Barcelona City History Museum) which exhibits underground archaeological sites dating back 2000

We continued our journey through the small streets near La Rambla before heading back to La Boqueria Market (Mercat de la Boqueria). La Boqueria is the largest food market in Barcelona and has been voted by Time Out magazine as the best in the world. Dating to the 13th century, the market is now home to more than 200 produce stalls of varying size. La Boqueria is a cultural jewel of the city as well as an indispensable part of locals’ life. Not only famous for its size, the marker’s curved roof which was restored in the 16th century has its unique design with colored ceramic and stained glass, attracting more visitors to shop here. Moreover, La Boqueria offers a culinary class where you can learn more about the history and recipes of Spanish delicacies. In the evening, we traveled by cable to Tibidabo Mountain to take-in the wonderful; panoramic view of the city by night. Thousands of visitors visit Barcelona for its shimmering beauty at night.

Dating to 1600, this drink is a perfect combination of red wine and fresh fruits including apples, cherries, grapes, oranges, and lemons. Time seemed to stop when we walked along the beautiful beach. We saw the day’s last rays of sun, embracing everything with stunning orange scenes. Our trip to Barcelona started with ancient buildings and ended with the harmony of the sky and sea. FURTHER INFORMATION: ITINERARY: ü You can fly directly from Vietnam to Barcelona with Vietnam Airlines or fly with other airlines such as Turkish Airlines and Qatar Airways but transit about 2-3 hours. A good choice is to travel to the city center by bus (A1-A2) for about 10-20 minutes.

ARCHITECTURAL MASTERPIECES AND SUNSET ON THE BEACH Your trip to Barcelona wouldn’t be complete without checking out exclusive classical artworks by legendary architects Antoni Gaud› and Lluis DomÃnech i Montaner. Their first masterpiece in this city is Park Guell which was built in 1900. Positioned on a hill in western Barcelona, the park is the largest architectural work in the southern Europe. We were all surprised and excited while getting lost in the park. Sculptures, crooked collars, colorful mosaics, and wierd shaped buildings contrast with the surrounding garden. Benches of varying colors, brown stone columns carved into strange patterns, and the giant gingerbread house from Hansel and Gretel are just some special things awaiting you. We traveled by bus and subway to

Passeig de Grµcia to admire two other works of Gaud›. Casa Milµ (La Pedrera) is famous for its sandstone walls and continuous curves. We entered to see the design of this special house and went upstairs to the roof where colorful chimneys soared to the sky. The other building is Casa Batllo - the most magnificent example of Barcelona's own art nouveau style. This exquisite and breathtaking building attracts visitors with its curved facades, mosaics, arched roof, and strange balconies which look like weird masks in front of the windows. Leaving the architectural masterpieces behind, we decided to relax on La Barceloneta Beach. There, Barraca restaurant in Passeig Maritim is a great choice for romantic days. Don’t miss the chance to enjoy paella (seafood rice) - a signature Spanish dish dating back to the 19th century and huevos flamencos (fried egg

TRANSPORTATION: ü Bicycle or motorbike: hire a bike in Plaza Catalunya or Via Laietana for 25 Euro/day. ü Bus and Metro: It’s quite convenient to travel by bus or metro in Barcelona. There are maps at every stop. Prices: Metro - 1,5 Euro/turn and bus - 1Euro/turn. You can also by a 7.4 Euro ticket that allows you to travel 10 turns. SIGHTSEEING: Apart from the mentioned attractions, here are some recommendations for you: ü FC Barcelona Museum and Camp Nou Stadium: near metro Les Corts on Travessera de les Corts. ü Arc de Triomf in the city center ü Encants: Barcelona (flea market) near metro GloriÃs. This is the largest market for antiques and second-hand stuff. You can find everything from old CDs, books, magazines, and stamps to modern tables and cabinets at very low prices. ü Tibidabo hill: near metro Lesseps. There is a large amusement park with fairs open every weekend in spring and autumn as well as from Wednesday to Sunday during summer. The park is closed in winter. LANGUAGES: ü Catalan and Spanish are the local languages. Barcelona is a tourist city so you communicate in English as well. However, you’d better learn some common Spanish words and phrases to talk with locals. TRAVELLIVE

PARADISE CAVE - WHERE TIME IS FROZEN It is a beautiful sunny day for trekking along the small path enclosed by dense vegetation leading to the hill. I stop at a small gate which looks like a Hobbit door. The gate is so small that only one person can pass at a time, and those taller than 1.8m must croutch to enter “the door to the paradise cave”. Standing near the cave’s entrance, you can feel the pleasant cool air which is far different from the outside wind, making you wonder whether there is something in it which gives it this distinct quality. This holds true; behind the door is a magnificent and majestic world which is more than 31km long (8km longer than the length of Singapore southward) and 80m high (as high as a 28-story building). Ascending wooden staircase, you feel like you are standing on a city wall, overlooking a giant royal palace nestled in the heart of the World Natural Heritage area, Phong Nha - Ke Bang (Quang Binh). From the high rock formations to the refined slope created by thousands of shiny big round stalactites, you will have the chance to admire the enchanting beauty of those stalactites which are even more beautiful than you can imagine. The Paradise Cave gives witness to the captivating movement of water for millions of years. There is a charming “waterfall” formation whose stone “peak” is formed by the irregular splashing of water. The natural artworks of stalactites and stalagmites have been given names like CÊ Th∏p, Cung Qu«n Ti™n HÈi TÙ, Th∏p Li™n Hoa, K˙ H≠ü, Voi Ma MÛt... On the ceiling of the cave is a winding stream which has become stone. Look closely and you can see stalactites, few is till patiently accumulating and forming new stalactites. In the dim light, they sparkle like something out of this world. Considered the longest dry cave in Asia, Paradise Cave is the sight of numerous strange masterpieces of calcium, iron, magnesium, and other mineral deposites. You will feel like time is frozen here when looking at stone formations from 350-400 million years ago.

BUY A “TICKET TO CHILDHOOD” IN DARK CAVE About 15 minutes from Paradise Cave by boat, Hang Toi (Dark Cave) is located near Nuoc Mooc spring which looks as though it was formed by the best jade. Traveling to the Dark Cave, you can experience the zipline through Nuoc Mooc spring and swim in the cool underground water. This is a must-try experience for adventurous travelers.

As its name reflects, the darkness in Dark Cave is of such a thick consistency that you might think that you can “touch” it. Although the large cave’s dome may allow natural light to enter, it’s hard to look deep inside it. From outside, you can only listen to swallows chattering from somewhere and the sounds of bats flapping their wings among the rocks. The cave is covered by the shade of green ferns - one of the oldest plant species on Earth.

Before entering the cave, you will be equipped with a helmet and a small light. Don’t just look for the way but make use of your light to discover vestiges of ancient fossils on the cave’s wall. There, you will encounter fossils of shells and sea creatures, proving that the cave was beneath in ancient times. The deeper you go into the cave, the softer the ground gets. Then you will access the area with a thin layer of mud. It’s not easy to balance, so you will slide on the mud like children playing in the rain. Taking a trip to Dark Cave is like buying a “ticket to your childhood” to bathe in a “smelting chocolate” cave. After indulging in the natural mineral mud lake, you can bathe in the underground spring. http://magzter.com/Travellive TRAVELLIVE

NUOC MOOC SPRING - VENTURE INTO DREAMS fter going out of the Dark Cave, groups of visitors kayak together or paddle about in banana boat to the other side of Nuoc Mooc spring to join an array of exciting yet challenging games such as climbing, swinging, and creeping at different levels. My fellow traveler and I spent 30 minutes swimming at the relaxing area in the middle of the spring. Initialized from the limestone area of Phong Nha, Ke Bang, the water here is very clear. As the limestone mountains gradually erode, calcium from the rocks dissolves in water, creating a strangely beautiful jade spring.

What could be better than enjoying the hot summer days while floating on the turquoise water or swinging in the forest and laughing out loud with friends? As Nuoc Mooc means “water rising from the heart of the mountain” in the local dialect, its water is cool year-round (16 - 18 degrees C). When swimming in the lake, you can see round stones beneath while forest leaves bob on the water’s surface. What a wild yet miraculous scene! Almost all visitors are eager to visit the area which is designed as an adventure park. If you love testing your skills with swings or climbing from place to place, don’t miss the net - one of the most challenging activities. I like swinging from a high positing and splashing in the middle of the water. Believe me, adventurers will be enticed with this. If you are not interested in an adventure, then sit on a swing above the water, let yourself float, or have a picnic on rustic wooden planks by the lake. When your stomach asks for a great meal, try out Phong Nha - Ke Bang’s delicacies such as braised goby with pepper served with brown rice porridge, grilled pork, stir fried eel with white pearl onion, or jungle fowl served with different types of sticky rice.

The plane passed a cliff at the height of 5,500m and skillfully landed on the 1.9km runway of Paro Airport. Finally, I had arrived in Bhutan - a country nested on the edge of the Himalayas and known as the happiest country in Asia.

hen welcoming us, Ugyen, our local guide, was wearing gho - the traditional dress for Bhutanese. It is a knee-length robe tied at the waist by a cloth belt, like the outfits of Japanese samurais. Gho is also the dress required for formal gatherings or visits to temples and pagodas. On the way to Thimphu, the capital, we stopped at an old bridge made entirely of iron chains from the 14th century. This is one of 108 bridges built by Thangtong Gyalpo in Tibet and Bhutan to help inhabitants travel across the rivers more easily without ships. Prayer flags are festooned alongside this iron bridge. They are in 5 colors including blue, white, red, green, and yellow respectively which represent space, wind, fire, water, and earth. The strings of flags are called lungta, which means wind horses. Bhutanese believe whenever the winds blow, they will spread their mantra around the world, bringing happiness and luck to humans and all species.

THE COLORS OF THIMPHU Upon arriving in Thimphu, we had a lunch break in our hotel located near Memorial Chorten, which commemorates the third king of Bhutan. From the window, I could see a line of people going around the tower clockwise. Some of them were holding small prayer wheels, rotating them when walking. The Bhutanese are religious, Ugyen said, there are some people spending their entire days walking around the tower with the hope of saving and accumulating more good things for the next generation. If you have a chance to visit the Memorial Chorten, then don’t forget to spin the large prayer wheel in the house left of the tower as rotating a large wheel brings 1000 times more

benefits than rotating a small one. Houses in Thimphu are quite modern and there are an array of busy shops serving both locals and visitors. However, the choices at “general stores” are not diverse, with only few local brands and some products made in India. Bhutanese people eat chili peppers like vegetables. Chili, from green to red, can be found in large baskets at the markets. Moreover, the Bhutanese don’t kill animals, so there are only three stores selling meat imported from India or supplied by those who are not Buddhists. In the afternoon, we visited a weekend fair in Thimphu. While the fairs are only on Saturday and Sunday in other cities, those of Thimphu last three days, from Friday to Sunday. Fruits and vegetables not grown in Bhutan or imported from India are sold at the market. Cross a covered bridge and you will reach another market selling clothes, paintings, statues, and prayer wheels, mostly imported from India, China, or Nepal. Souvenirs in Bhutan include brocades, shawls, handbags, which are quite similar to Vietnam’s.

BUDDHAS MONASTERY At almost anywhere in Thimphu, you can see the Great Buddha (Buddha Dordenma) statue located on a diamond pedestal on a hill to the south of the city. The 51,5m high statue was made of bronze inlaid with gold, representing the Buddha sitting in the lotus position, eyes half-closed, and the tips of the thumbs slightly raised and gently touched. Inside this huge statue is a 17-floor-monastery with over 10,000 other small gold inlaid bronze Buddha statues. Buddha Dordenma was inaugurated in 2015, on the celebration of the fourth King of Bhutan’s 60th birthday.

owever, it is believed that the return of Guru Padmasambhava, who brought Tantric Buddhism to Tibet before spreading it to Bhutan, as predicted in this project from the 8th century. There are many tourists from India, China, and many other countries who come here to worship, some even bring cushions to meditate inside the Great Buddha. Inside, Ugyen faced a throne opposite the main Buddha statue with a photo of a monk above, then he in turn placed his hands on the forehead, lips and chest, and bowed three times. He turned to the Buddha and repeated his ritual. A lama holding a vase with a high hose and peacock feathers attached to the lid, poured some faded yellow water into the palm of Ugyen. He took a small sip, then dropped some onto his head. The monk in the main photo is Je Khenpo, the spiritual leader of Bhutan, who handled the religion while the King handled the life of the country. He was considered as a spiritual bridge connecting the people and the Buddha. All Buddhists, except the senior clergy, bowed to him before bowing at the Buddha. After the Great Buddha statue, we visit Thimphu Dzong. This is a typical architectural style of Bhutan - a combination of fortress and monastery. Inside each Dzong are government offices, monasteries, and clergy houses. Traditionally, each Dzong was not built in any accordance with any particular architectural project but under the guidance of a senior lama. Thus, each Dzong has a different style. The construction process did not use any nails to fix components. Whenever going into a Dzong, the Bhutanese have to wear traditional costumes, but long pants and sleeve shirts for foreign tourists are enough. Do not ignore the frescoes and beautiful mandala in the internal hall, which are the precious artistic treasures of Bhutan.

CHANGLIMITHANG ARCHERY GROUND Archery is not only a favorite sport for the Bhutanese people but also a community activity that connects people of different classes. From 1984 to 2008, Bhutan participated in the Olympics with archery only. An archery target is a 91 centimeter tall and 28 centimeter wide wooden panel, placed about 145 meters from the archer. Players can use a traditional bow and arrow or a modern compound bow for higher accuracy. Every time an archer hits the bullâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eye, like in a traditional ceremony, the team members will have a short dance and song to praise him. On the contrary, if he misses, his team will get sarcasm from their rival. At first glance, you will find the Bhutanese archer pull the bow very easily, he even holds this posture for about 10 seconds to aim carefully at the target before releasing the bowstring. However, when we tried pulling the bow, it was much harder than we thought. This sport requires not only good eyes but also strong arms. Besides archery, the Bhutanese also love throwing darts. We tried this game on a farm in Paro the next day.

GENERAL NEWS

HOTEL DE L'OPERA HANOI Hotel de l'Opera Hanoi proudly announces to have reached top 10 this year's Smart Travel Asia reader's poll in the category ĂŤBest Boutique Hotel Asia' www.smarttravelasia.com. The SmartTravelAsia.com 2016 Best in Travel Poll - now in its 12th year - is a distillation of readers' perceptions and favourite travel brands. After the award for Best Hotel and Resorts in 2013 and Best Boutique Hotels in Asia in 2014 and 2015, this is the fouth time Hotel de l'Opera was recognized in Smart Travel Asia Travel poll. Furthermore the hotel has again been awarded the 2016 Tripadvisor Certificate of Excellence for the 5th successive year. The two accolades, which came in almost at the same time, have further cemented the hotel's reputation as the first choice in Hanoi for travelers seeking individuality and flair. HANOI The alley at 19/12, designed according to the style of the old quarter, will celebrate the 70th anniversary of National Resistance Day.19/12 will become the first book street in Hanoi. Located on 19/12 market which is called the Hades market, the 200-meter street lies next to the Hanoi People Court and between Hai Ba Trung and Ly Thuong Kiet streets. The bookshelves are planned to be hung on street walls with suitable urban scenery, cultural spaces, and areas for readers to gather with activities such as book exchanges, seminars, and book introductions. DANANG At the beginning of September, Asia Park in Da Nang will launch a new ride: the Golden Sky Tower, the highest free-fall tower in Vietnam. The 47-meter tower is equivalent to the height of a 13-storey building and can serve 24 seats per round. Within 120

seconds, Golden Sky Tower slowly raises visitors to the top for a panoramic view of Da Nang and then drops them to the ground at a speed of nearly 70km per hour. It is the fifth in the thrilling rides introduced to serve tourists at Asia Park following the previous games including Sky Treasure, Love Locks, The Flying Kirins, and Singapore Sling. E - VISA Vietnam will introduce the online visa system on January 1st, 2017. Together with the visa-free and visa issued at the border, electronic visas (E-Visas) have become a popular trend in the world for many years. E-Visa has been used in many countries such as Australia, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Republic of Armenia, the Kingdom of Bahrain, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Turkey. E-Visa has contributed to solving the visa registration of a large number of tourists in a short time, creating favorable conditions for tourists to reach destinations and offer resources to support tourist industries in the implementation of travel promotion programs to key markets. Experts expect E-Visa will change the face of Vietnamese tourism. As a result, Vietnam will become a more friendly and attractive destination for international tourists. QUANG NINH Recently, Co To island has been recognized as a local tourism area by the Quang Ninh Provincial People's Committee. Therefore, foreigners with passport and visas can freely travel to the Co To. In the past, foreigners with full formalities to enter Vietnam such as passport and visa, visiting Co To needed permission from local authorities. According to the Government's Decree 71, international tourists do not need permission to visit a local tourism area. The removal will give Co To tourism more development

opportunities and the island is expected to attract more international tourists. JAPAN The Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) has opened the Japan Online Media Center (JOMC) at website https://jomc. jnto.go.jp. JOMC is a media platform designed specifically to distribute information for media. With a database of over 7,000 photos and videos, JOMC is an exceptional tool for overseas media creating tourist content related to Japan. JOMC material focuses on popular tourist attractions, scenery and landscapes, cuisine, historical experiences, and culture. Media can access and freely register to a range of frequently updated, high-quality content. DUBAI In spite of recently opening this summer, the world largest indoor theme park, IMG World of Adventure, has rapidly become a new tourist attraction in Dubai. With a total area of 140,000 square meters, the theme park is divided into 4 main parts including Marvel, IMG Boulevard, Cartoon Network, and Lost Valley. There are numerous entertainment franchises with dinosaur models, rollercoasters and countless famous cartoon characters from the CN channel there. The 28 restaurants and 25 retail stores offering approximately 5,000 items can serve 30,000 guests per day.

INDONESIA Indonesia is considering a new law that would ban the production, distribution and consumption of beverages containing from one to fifty five per cent alcohol. The introduction of the bill has caused a bitter debate among parties. In particular, some experts have realized that the new law can seriously affect the tourist industry because the majority of tourists coming from key markets drink alcohol all the time. According to the experts, the Indonesian tourist industry will be at risk of collapse if the alcohol prohibition bill takes effect. Last year, Indonesia issued a ban on retailer of alcohol beverages at the tourist attractions despite the opposition from the alcohol beverage industry and the local people.

Updated information about new flight routes, culture programs, tourism policies, ranking & awards... in Vietnam and other countries

AIRLINES The Vietnam Air Traffic Management Corporation officially launched a new parallel sky highway, oneway north-south axis. Based on an advanced area navigation system which called RNAV 5, the new sky highway is said to prioritize long-distance services using modern aircraft and flying at optimal altitude. Using modern aircrafts, the system operates as Sky Highway, connecting major airports. In particular, the system is expected to double the frequency of flights on the north-south route, reducing traffic conflicts and optimizing the orbit operation of aircrafts.
