Let the
freshness of
autumn be
your source
of inspiration
for new
journeys.
In a late afternoon in the early autumn,
I’m standing at the balcony overlooking
the playground of my apartment
building. Children are excited to go
outside after a heavy rain. Some boys
are noisily fighting to catch a plastic ball.
Under the shade of trees, my daughter
and her friends are drawing strange
images on the stone chairs with a pen
of tree’s branch dripping with water.
The space is noisy yet peaceful.
Autumn comes and brings with it a lot
of expectations such as milk flowers
in every corner or green young rice
for delicious dishes. Some people are
complaining that their skin is getting
drier despite cool weather. Children are
eager to meet their friends after a long
summer holiday, participate in outdoor
activities on the weekend, or gather
and indulge in the atmosphere of Mid-
Autumn Festival while their parents are
worried about their workload. Who
will take care of the kids, take them
to school, contact with teachers, help
them with homework, and clean the
messes they make?
You see, whether or not autumn is
wonderful depends on our mood.
While reading this letter, perhaps,
you are a bit busy preparing for a new
business trip or getting tired of work.
But spend a few minutes this autumn
to take up some intriguing things,
letting the autumn winds help you find
out your own tranquility!

Saigon, the Explore Spa is designed
like a peaceful oasis with exquisite
wellness, relaxation, and beauty
care services. Inspired by traditional
European spa therapies, the Explore
Spa, with its innovative aquatic design,
has broken preconceptions about the

you feel like you are under the sea, the
voyage leads visitors along a wooden
bridge connecting to the Explore
Bistro which is designed as coral reefs.
The Explore Spa is introducing a
series of unique experiences in 7
luxurious treatment rooms. The
Four Hand Therapy Choreography, is
synchronized with the technical and
rhythmic movements of two therapists,
combines perfectly as waves slap
against your body. This will lull you
back into the most relaxed state. Using
the French product - Phytomer with
seaweed as the main ingredient, the
Explore Spa fully utilizes the features
and benefits of seaweed to provide a
unique experience for customers of
all ages. In addition, following Oriental
medicine, the Explore Spa also uses
pure Vietnamese herbal ingredients in

Original Space in Ao Dai
Museum
Situated in a 20,000 square meter space, the Ao Dai
Museum is the fruition of a twelve-year project of
converting a wetland into an elegant cultural space
characterized by nature and deep traditions. The
artifacts displayed in the old wood-beam house were
collected from Quang Nam and restored by artisans at
the Kim Bong carpentry village.
Visiting the Ao Dai Museum is an opportunity to
admire carefully preserved and studied exhibits,
collections, documents, photographs, and objects
related to ao dai; artifacts associated with agrarian life,
military, diplomatic, culture, education, commerce, art,
etc. At the same time, you will get chance to watch ao
dai production at different stages from design, tailoring,

THÀNH CÔNG LÀ MỘT HÀNH TRÌNH
Tháng 10/2007, thương hiệu
Thành Công Taxi lần đầu tiên xuất
hiện trên thị trường với đội xe 16
chiếc, hoạt động chủ yếu trên địa
bàn quận Long Biên, Hoàn Kiếm
và Ba Đình. Những năm đầu hoạt
động, tuy phải đối mặt với không
ít những khó khăn, thử thách, tên
tuổi mới, mạng lưới hoạt động
còn nhỏ, chưa đa dạng về dịch
vụ. Nhưng đến nay, sau 9 năm
hình thành và phát triển, với định
hướng chiến lược đúng đắn qua
từng giai đoạn phát triển Thành
Công Taxi đã đạt được những
bước phát triển vượt bậc về cả
chiều rộng và chiều sâu.
Từ 16 chiếc xe cỡ nhỏ hoạt động trên
3 quận của Thủ đô Hà Nội, số lượng
xe của Thành Công Taxi đã lên đến
con số 1500 chiếc, với nhiều dòng xe
5 chỗ, Sedan cao cấp và dòng xe 7 chỗ
(MPV)... Có mặt tại thị trường các tỉnh
Hà Nam, Huế, Vĩnh Phúc, Quảng Ninh
và trong tương lai gần là các thành
phố lớn ở phía Nam…, mở rộng thêm
nhiều văn phòng giao dịch,ra mắt dịch
vụ Taxi sân bay tại Sân bay Nội Bài và
Sân bay Phú Bài nhằm nâng cấp tối đa
trải nghiệm của khách hàng, mặt khác
vẫn duy trì mức giá cạnh tranh để
đảm bảo lợi ích của mỗi khách hàng.
Song song với việc phát triển đội ngũ
phương tiện hùng hậu và phát triển
các dòng dịch vụ mới, những năm gần
đây, Thành Công Taxi đã tập trung
hơn về công nghệ, áp dụng những
kỹ thuật hiện đại vào mô hình kinh
doanh như các giải pháp thanh toán
(Séc/Thẻ taxi; ứng dụng MOCA) và
ứng dụng đặt xe qua smartphone với
app “Taxi 57”…
Bên cạnh việc ứng dụng công nghệ
trong việc điều hành quản lý, giám
sát chặt chẽ từng phương tiện, Thành
Công Taxi luôn chú trọng đào tạo,
nâng cao kỹ năng phục vụ khách hàng
cho đội ngũ lái xe, thiết lập hệ thống
tổng đài điện thoại và website để hỗ
trợ khách hàng tìm kiếm đồ thất lạc,
đảm bảo mỗi khách hàng thực sự yên
tâm khi sử dụng dịch vụ của hãng.
Từ tháng 3/2015, Thành Công Taxi
đã tiên phong triển khai dịch vụ taxi
dành cho người khuyết tật trong bối
cảnh chưa có hãng taxi nào làm điều
tương tự, dịch vụ ra đời đã thể hiện
sự quan sát tinh tế, nhân văn, trách
nhiệm xã hội của Thành Công Taxi.
Chính vì thế, Thành Công taxi luôn
được biết là một thương hiệu taxi
đáng tin cậy, bởi chất lượng dịch vụ
và giá cước hợp lý, nhiều chính sách
ưu đãi có thể đáp ứng được đa dạng
nhu cầu của nhiều khách hàng.
Đây là ngôi nhà chung tụ họp của hơn
2000 CBNV. Môi trường làm việc sáng
tạo, thân thiện, cởi mở, CBNV luôn
an tâm được làm việc và cống hiến
lâu dài cho sự phát triển của công ty.
Bên cạnh những hoạt động tổ chức
thường niên mang tính phong trào,
tập thể như: Giải bóng đá Cup Thành
Công, liên hoan Văn nghệ ngành
GTVT, hội thi nấu ăn…nhằm nâng cao
tinh thần làm việc. Ban lãnh đạo công
ty còn thường xuyên biểu dương,
khuyến khích những cá nhân, tập thể
có thành tích xuất sắc trong công việc.
Đó chính là những tiền để để Thành
Công Taxi ngày một lớn mạnh và phát
triển vươn xa hơn nữa.
Thành công là một hành trình,
không phải một điểm đến. Trong
mục tiêu phục vụ con người ngày
một trở nên tốt lên, Thành Công
Taxi đã thực sự đồng hành và lớn
lên với từng trải nghiệm mà hãng
mang tới khách hàng.
Thành Công Taxi: “Đã ước mơ sao
phải đợi”.

In October 2007, a new taxi brand
first launched with the name
Thanh Cong taxi. The first 16
vehicles serviced only in 3 main
districts of Hanoi. Despite many
difficulties and challenges of the early
days, Thanh Cong Taxi has become one
of the leading taxi brands with great
achievement in both scales and service
qualities.
Thanh Cong Taxi started with just 16
small cars, service was provided for
people in 3 districts: Hoan Kiem, Ba Dinh
and Long Bien. After 9 years, the number
of vehicle has reached 1500, with different
models including Sedan, SUV…
The brand is now serving people in Ha
Noi, Ha Nam, Hue, Vinh Phuc, Quang Ninh
and soon in Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh
City. New representative offices have
been set up, new services like Airport
Taxi in Noi Bai and Phu Bai have been
launched… Customer experience is being
utilized while taxi fare remains at a competitive
level.
Along with increasing the number of vehicles
and developing new services, in recent
years, Thanh Cong Taxi has focused
on applying new technology, such as Taxi
card, MOCA app as new payment methods
and “Taxi 57 app” for car booking.
Beside good service quality and competitive
fare, Thanh Cong Taxi keeps on
launching new promotion package for
each product (long-journey package,
two-way package…) to match different
requirements of customers.
Not only focusing on new equipments
and technology to monitor each and
every vehicles, Thanh Cong Taxi also
concentrate on improving skills and hospitality
of drivers, setup new Call Centers
and upgrade website to help passenger
find their belongings.
Since March 2015, Thanh Cong Taxi is the
first taxi brand to ever launch taxi service
for people with disabilities, the act
greatly showed social responsibility and
vision of the company.
Thanh Cong Taxi is now the home-like
workplace for more than 2000 people.
The friendly and open environment
encourages each person to devote their
best to the long-term development of
the company. The community is always
aroused with many team-building activities
and events organized by the leaders.
The contribution of each individual is
well-recognized and the working spirit is
always lifted from the ground.
Success is a journey, not a destination,
and on the journey to serve people,
Thanh Cong Taxi is the true companion of
each customer’s experience.
“Thanh Cong Taxi: Never wait for what
you wish”

The vegetables can be sliced

boots, and a nice hat to explore the island.
Stroll along small paths among the trees, meet some squirrels at
the wild conservation area, and collect some maple leaves at the
Baekpungmilwon garden. Visit Dodamsambong Park, breathe
fresh air around the lake while watching the small wooden
boats, or partake in an array of leisure activities such as bungee
jumping and canoeing. All these experiences will put you at ease.
Nami is not only an ideal place for lovers but an attractive
destination for young visitors or families to go on picnic. If you
don’t bring fast food and snacks, you can drop by the restaurants
and beautiful cafä and enjoy delicious cuisine such as stir-fried
boneless chicken with cabbage, potatoes, and carrots served with
a spicy sauce, grilled pork, and stewed chicken with ginseng. The
atmosphere of the hotels on the island is shaped by romantic
decorations, especially Jeong Guan Ru, the hotel where the two
main actors in "Winter Sonata" stayed when other hotels were
full at peak season.

IMMERSE yOURSELF IN THE BLUE OF
THE PRISTINE ISLAND
Kota Kinabalu is situated in a prime location. Borneo,
the world’s third largest island, belongs to three
countries: Brunei, Indonesia, and Malaysia. With
pleasant weather at the beginning of the rainy
season, it is an ideal place for your autumn journey.
Here, you can visit the Mari-Mari village where you will have a
chance to experience local life, from cooking rice with simple
tools to joining in traditional dances and other daily activities.
Diving to see the corals, swimming with turtles, and enjoying
the cool air by the sea are just a few exciting activities awaiting
you on the small islands of Tunku Abdul Rahman Ocean
Park. Tunku Abdul Rahman is just 20 minutes from Jesselton
Point warf and consists of 5 pristine islands: Gaya, Manukan,
Mamutik, Sapi, and Sulug. Within the bright jade water are
numerous corals and marine species. Each of them is a secret for
you to explore.
Particularly, when visiting Kota Kinabalu, don’t forget to sightsee
at Kinabalu Park - Malaysia’s first natural world heritage site. The
park hosts a myriad of fauna and flora, including about 5,000
- 6,000 higher plants, with 1,000 types of orchids, Rafflesia
- the biggest flowers in the world with a diameter of 3m, 300
bird species, and more than 100 other species of animals. With
a height of 4,101m, Crocker Range - the highest mountain in
Southeast Asia - is also located in this area. Moreover, the Poring
Hot Spring is the best place to relax after a long day of hiking.

The sweet sticky rice in Tu Le is
among the most delicious for its
plump and glutinous grain. At Tu
Le, you can easily find some shops
selling it. On cold days, there is
nothing more wonderful than going
to Tu Le to enjoy the fresh air and
delicious Tu Le sweet sticky rice.
It is also a great idea to try it with
barbecue.

THE GOLDEN AUTUMN OF LOVE
From 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.

BUCKWHEAT FLOWERS ON THE ROCKy HIGHLANDS
The 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
Located 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

A “TUNNEL” IN HANANUKI vALLEY
Stretching from the Tsuchitakle Bridge
down the Hananuki River to Torisone, the
Hananuki Valley is one of Japan’s most
enchanting landscapes at any time of year.
There is a 60m suspension bridge crossing
the valley, which is a site of constant
traffic jams as crowds of visitors go there to
sightsee and take pictures. When autumn
comes, the bridge is engulfed by trees with
changing leaves. From there, you can also
see Shiomi Falls and the Hananuki River
winding around the narrow valley. What a
serene place!

AYU NO SHIOYAKI -
JAPANESE SALT-GRILLED
SWEETFISH
One of my favorite street
dishes in Ibaraki is grilled
Ayu with salt. Of the
numerous kinds of fish, Ayu is very
expensive and a favorite of Japanese people.
Despite its high price, the way to prepare and
enjoy the fish is quite simple. Ayu fish is salted,
skewered, then grilled over charcoal. You can
eat it without sauce. The fish is yellow, crispy,
sweet, and tasty, attracting all visitors. In
September (the breeding season of Ayu), you
can enjoy fish with buttery fish eggs. Prices start
at JPY400 ~ VND85,000.

ADMIRING AUTUMN ON
THE HILLS
Located between Perpignan and Barcelona,
the city of Girona - the gateway to Costa
Brava - boasts its autumn coat with the typical
charms of the Mediterranean region. Go
along the alley and you will be surprised to
find the bridges and balconies full of flowers,
Arab baths, and majestic monasteries. And
yet, what awaits you ahead may be the town
center where you hear people laughing and
talking from the local tapas restaurants.
‰MUST-TRY FOOD: Many tourists choose to
admire autumn while going up the narrow
steep stairs to the hill. However, you will
look like a true local if you are carrying
along a bag of roasted chestnuts and
panellets (almond cookies).

Leyden - the hometown of the
famous painter Rembrandt

DRINKING WINE IN THE

When trees are changing their autumn coat,
what could be more intriguing than exploring
Portugal’s largest grape planting regions which
has a long winemaking tradition dating back to
Roman times. After witnessing the incredible
beauty of the valley, you can stop at the rural
winery to talk with local people about grapes,
crops, or simply to sip a glass of vinho verde and
enjoy its fresh sweet taste.
‰MUST-TRY FOOD: Pasteis de nata is a dessert you will
never forget after trying. Behind the crispy baked crust
are fresh lemons and intense cinnamon entangled with a
delicious vanilla flavor.
IMMERSE IN THE AUTUMN AIR IN
WESTERN EUROPE
Why should people go to Budapest this season?
They should go because it possesses a classic
beauty with Baroque styled buildings shining
in the orange afternoon light, forming a rare
romantic scene by the clear blue Danube.
Your trip to Budapest is not complete without
immersing yourself in the centuries old hot
springs. 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. Considered the pride of
Hungary, this dish can be found in many other European
countries with variations like adding tomato sauce or
cabbage.

A PEACEFUL OASIS
The immense lakes at the foot of the Southern
Alps is one of most beautiful scenes of Italy
that you will remember until the end of your
life. The most prominent among them is Lake
Como, where hidden in cool weather all year
round are the shadows of magnificent castles
and private villas. The scene here is a source
of inspiration and creation for many famous
poets and composers. If you are a golfer or love
sailing, don’t forget to enjoy yourself in one of
the resorts in the area.

Lake Como, you should not miss an opportunity

THE FRENCH MUSE AT THE
MEDITERRANEAN SEA
As a bridge between modern society and nature,
Corsica has many things to be explored. You
can go to the emperor’s house where Napoleon
Bonaparte was born, walk around the hundredyear-old
citadel at Bonifacio, and indulge in
mysterious stories about the lava-colored limestone
mountains stretched inside Porto Bay. Simply rent
a car and drive across the vineyards past olive fields
and the vast forests linking the cities, which are
changing their leaves to welcome autumn. They
are all precious experiences on your journey.
‰MUST-TRY FOOD: Your afternoon at a corner of the island
would be great with a charcuterie plate (variety of ham) with
figatelli (liver and pork sausage), coppa (dry tenderloin
pork), lonzu (salt tenderloin pork), bulagna (salty
pepper belly meat) and meat marinated in
different styles. However, enjoying available
meat without wine overflowing is like
talking about emperor Napoleon without
mentioning his innumerable love affairs

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.

It 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?

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!

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

the monster Typhon - who dared to challenge the crown of Zeus - was
most dangerous volcano in Europe and constantly active.

Plants are nowhere to be found. In the world of this haughty woman,
there is only black soil, white snow, and blue sky.

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.

A TRIP TO LOVE
107
TRAVELLIVE ©Andrew

Barcelona is home
to a myriad of the
world’s cultural
heritage works
with villas, castles,
and churches.
Located 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
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.
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 13 th 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 16 th 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.
OUR TRIP TO BARCELONA STARTED WITH ANCIENT BUILDINGS AND
ENDED WITH THE HARMONY OF THE SKY AND SEA.

with ham, tomato, and vegetables)
- a traditional dish of Seville. Cool
off in the summer with a sangria.
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.
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 19 th century
and huevos flamencos (fried egg
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.
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.

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 magnifi cent
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
refi ned 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
Tin HÈi TÙ, Th∏p Lin Hoa, K˙ H≠¨u, Voi

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.

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.

NUOC MOOC SPRING - VENTURE INTO DREAMS
After 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.
TRAVELLIVE 123

When 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 14 th
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.
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.
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
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 60 th birthday.
TRAVELLIVE 125

However, 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 8 th
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 bull’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.

Each morning in Bhutan is a pure and beautiful experience. Outside the hotel
window, white clouds rolled by and covered the green ridges
THE FOG OF PUNAKHA
OLD CAPITAL
Each morning in Bhutan is a pure
and beautiful experience. Outside
the hotel window, white clouds rolled
by and covered the green ridges. On
the terraces, sunbeams of a new day
paint stripes on the young rice.
We left Thimphu to the old capital
of Punakha. Along the way, the car
stopped by Tango Monastery, which
means "horse" in the local language,
near mount Cheri. According to
legend, the god Hayagriva, the half
human half horse manifestation
of the Avalokiteshvara, has once
appeared at this monastery. This is
the school for the monks in Bhutan,
with 6-year-bachelors program
and 9-year-masters program. Once
finished, the monks will move to
Cheri Monastery nearby to retreat for
three years, three months and three
days, like the time Padmasambhava
retreated to the Tiger's Nest,
according to the history books. This
is also the school of the rebirth of
Tenzin Rabgye, the mandarin who
handled the construction of the
Tiger's Nest in the 17th century. Now,
the reincarnation of Tenzin Rabgye
is in the process of his three-yearretreat.
According to Ugyen, after
the retreat, he can become the next
spiritual leader of the Bhutanese, or
he can choose a different path.
It takes about one hour to go
from the foot of Mt. Cheri to the
monastery. The path is neatly
paved by the monks in their free
time on weekends. Along the way to
the monastery are wooden boards
showing the teachings of Buddha
about nature, life, and people. When
tired, climbers can rest for a while
and think about those meaningful
teachings.
After visiting Tango monastery, we
started toward the south of Thimphu
Valley, stopping at Dochula Pass
before reaching Punakha. Along the
way, we crossed a rice field leading to
Chimi Lhakhang temple, considered
the place where Drukpa Kunley, the
mad monk, sealed a devil woman.
Chimi Lhakhang is also known as the
temple to pray for a male heir. This
mad monk lived in the 16 th century
and had a profound influence on
culture of Punakha. According to
legend, Takin, the national symbol of
Bhutan was also created by Drukpa
Kunley by grafting bones of cows and
goats to create a creature with goat
head and cow body.
If you ask me if Bhutan is heavenon-earth,
the answer may be “No”.
Bhutanese people still have to make
ends meet every day. Bhutan's
young people are still fascinated by
Bollywood stars and the unrestrained
Western life. However, if you are
seeking simple happiness, give
Bhutan a try! This fairy-tale-like
country is where a history can be
found in legends and the lamas are
as powerful as mandarins. And this
country is the place where people
always hang the 5-color prayer flags
- lungta, hoping the winds spread
their blessings around and bring
happiness to all.
FURTHER INFORMATION
TIME:
ü The best time to travel to Bhutan is from March
to May (spring) and from September to November
(autumn). During autumn, the temperature ranges
from 10 to 20 degrees C.
Tourist policy:
ü Bhutanese Government requires all visitors to
book tours with a tourist agency that is licensed
by the government. The agency will take care of
everything from your visa and flight ticket to your
accommodation. A list ofe agencies is provided on
www.tourism.gov.bt/plan/tour-operators
Itinerary:
ü There isn’t any direct route from Vietnam to
Bhutan, so you have to transit in Bangkok and
Kolkata before flying to Paro (Bhutan).
Activities:
ü If you have a chance to visit the former capital,
Punakha, don’t forget to try rafting on the Mo
Chhu River. This river is quite calm and shallow.
This will make your trip which is full of temples and
shrines more exciting.
Clothes:
ü Wearing traditional dress of Bhutan (gho for
man and kira for women) is a must-try experience.
For better pictures, you can borrow or rent outfits
from your tourist agency.
Notes:
ü Bring medicine for common illness with you as
it’s difficult to find western medicine in Bhutan.
Noodles will save your stomach if you can’t enjoy
local cuisine.

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
ëBest Boutique Hotel Asia'
www.smarttravelasia.com. The
SmartTravelAsia.com 2016 Best
in Travel Poll - now in its 12 th
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 5 th 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
70 th 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 1 st , 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.

flight routes, culture programs,

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.

"It was an early morning in
autumn. The light went through
leaves, shining up an area of the
mangrove forest. I saw a little
boy playing with his friends. He
was a little "monk". Without
considering of any technical
figure, I hold my camera and
capture the boys. It was one of
the best moments I have had
and I felt I was a very lucky
man."
