Dear valued readers,
Summer is no doubt the most fun and vibrant season of the year, when you can enjoy long vacations to pristine beaches or explore nature’s magnificent beauty. It is also the perfect season for families to spend quality time together, and expand your children's views of the world by taking them to places where they can discover new things.
Travellive invites you to welcome back Mr. Harry Trung, his loving family and their little girl in their amazing 30-day journey in Cat Ba. We have also picked out a list of stunning coastal resorts for you and your family to enjoy this summer.
Summer is also the perfect time for more adventurous travelers to go on long journeys to far-flung corners of the Earth. Join two friends in their incredible cycling trip through Central Asian Tajikistan to conquer a famous moutain range known as “the roof of the world". But perhaps, the height of any mountain or the depth of any abyss is nothing compared to the vast spaces of one’s soul and heart. Follow the journey of travel blogger Huyen Chi to Phuktal, where she touched the heart of Northern India – a mysterious spiritual world hidden deep within the majestic Himalayas.
We wish you a fantastic summer.

Where We Going,
Daddy?
At the age of 70, Jean-Louis Fournier tells the story of his two disabled sons for
the first time in "Where We Going, Daddy?" and dedicates the book to them.
Both children face extremely debilitating physical and mental challenges with
one constantly asking, "Where we going, Daddy?" while the other thinks he is an engine,
and keeps saying things like, "Brmm brmm..." Imagine living that kind of life, what should
a father do? The immense power of this deeply moving story earned the author the
prestigious French Prix Fämina Award in 2008 and has been included on many bestseller
lists around the world.

trucks
Isuzu Vietnam has recently
launched two new Isuzu
truck lines. The Japanese
truck company is making
a step forward as one
of the first companies
to launch the Euro 4
emission standard truck
line. The new generation
Isuzu trucks are equipped
with an optional safety kit
which includes Mobileye
- a smart advanced
driver assistance system
providing warnings for
collision prevention and
mitigation. When the
system senses dangers,
visual and auditory alarms
will alert the driver so
that they can handle the
situations and reduce the
HCMC
risk of traffic accidents.
With improved features,
prices for the new trucks
have increased 5-12%
compared to the Euro 2.

interview
* You have always chosen to play your own game.
Do you feel alone being a trendsetter?
My decision is not participating in Fashion
Week so people can see that my brand is not
influenced by any organization. I have created
my own collections, organized my own catwalk
shows, and everything else is simply a halo
effect. I have never felt the need to depend on
any brand, label, or stage to promote myself. I
love being a trendsetter and I am happy with
my solitariness. As you can see, for the past 10
years, the trends I've created that put a deep
impact in the fashion world and I truly embrace
the bold steps that I took. What matters is how
much effort you put into your creativity.
A BEHIND THE SCENES STORY OF THE
HOTTEST FASHION SHOW OF SUMMER 2018.
"Once beauty is based on the exchange of benefits, it
loses its value." The life of designer Do Manh Cuong
has always been a "mystery", and he is determined
to continue to keep it hidden from the eyes of the
public. If there is something he never shies away from
however, it's dialogue about beauty.
The inevitable success of being a
trendsetter
* For those who love to dress in your designs,
what kind of statement are they making about
themselves? And do the messages they want to
convey change over time?
My clients represent a huge part of my
personality. From Diem My, Ngo Thanh Van,
Ha Kieu Anh, to Linh Nga, Giang My and
Ha Tang, they themselves are a manifesto
of beauty. They have never spoken about
what it means to be beautiful, and neither
have my designs tried to convey that. I want
to avoid ostentatiousness at all cost. A design
piece is timeless or not, it depends on others'
perception, and of course, my strong personal
work ethics and deep understanding of what it
takes to thrive in this competitive industry and
leave a mark, play an essential role.
* Resorts are becoming a popular show venue for
collections. Is it a trend, an intent, or is it simply
a partnership?
For me, it is more of a personal choice than
a trend. If it's a trend, you have to be able to
find many others who are doing the same
thing, but I'm pretty sure that no one else has
traveled down that path. I'm still the first and
the only fashion designer in Vietnam to have
been able to pull it off.
Fashion is a concept related to beauty, but
once beauty is based on the exchange of
benefits, it loses its value. You can see that in
my recent shows, no brands or organizations
had much impact on my work. Few people are
Do Manh Cuong
I AM HAPPY WITH MY
SOLITARINESS.

aware of what you have to do in order to
protect your brand reputation. My Spring -
Summer 2018 collectin will be taken place
at the Laguna Lang Co, simply because I've
noticed an opportunity to do something
different this time.
* If it is your intent, did you draw inspiration
from the resort or this particular region?
I came to Laguna Lang Co with an intent to
gain a deeper insight into the history and
cultural values of this central land, so yes,
you will see some of that in my designs, but
I am not able to go into more details before
the show. It will be a subtle blend, totally not
forced, between traditional values and the
beauty of modern fashion.
* Did your inspiration come from the sea or the
mountains? Which one did you choose?
You shouldn't be choosing one or the other.
All natural wonders have their own unique
beauty, and we are lucky to have them. Most
of the designs from my collections are created
based on my feelings and emotions, and my
inspiration can come from the smallest in
life. I never want to associate them with any
particular concept. That is not how I work.
* You rather spend time with your friends or
your family?
A vacation is most ideal when you feel happy
and at peace in the company you are with.
Travelling with friends always brings me the
most fun experiences, while being with my
family there's always a sense of warmth, love,
and sweet memories to reminisce on, and
especially, your family always treats you like
a child no matter how old you are. [laugh].
Being a father has taken me on a special
emotional journey. I am still learning
everyday to become a better person and better
father. From being a bold, impulsive, and
straightforward person in the fashion world,
there's now a sense of maturity, seriousness,
and calm in me that I had never had before.
The two seemingly opposite personalities are
co-existing in the same person.
* People know about your muses, is there any
monster in your closet? Is being creative a
pressure? How do you relax and how do you
escape?
Since my collections are always open for sale,
sometimes they are even "sold out" before
they get on the stage. It has always been
a challenge for me and my team to ensure
that we produce enough outfits for both the
models and the after-show sale. It can be
incredibly stressful to the last minute.
I'm happy that I have been able to gain public
attention for my work, but one is never free
from negative feedback, which one must be
ready to face. As long as they are constructive,
I'm willing to take it as a lesson. But if they
are ignorant personal attacks, I would not
have it. The word "escape" doesn't exist in
my vocabulary. The more you try to escape,
the more it reveals that you don't have what it
takes to take on the world, and certainly, you
can't become a trendsetter.
Model Vo Hoang Yen - Vedette of the show
I have a clear idea of the kind of women who I want to be seen in my
designs: the beautiful, talented, smart, and sharp kind. And fashion is a
huge part of their personality.

The romantic Banyan Tree Lang Co at night
The exclusive 2018 Spring - Summer collection by Do Manh Cuong is to be held at 5 pm on
May 26 at the golf course of the world-class integrated resort Laguna Lang Co (Hue), which covers an
area of 280 ha, and is surrounded by a 3 km coastal stretch in Chan May Economic Zone with views of
the East Sea.
Lang Co, famous for its pristine beaches and incredible natural sceneries, is located on the Road of
Heritage Sites in Central Vietnam that links Vietnam's World Heritage Sites together.
Besides creating amazing collections, Do Manh Cuong is very picky when it comes to his show venues,
and, thanks to that, he has enhanced his reputation in the Vietnamese fashion industry. Laguna Lang Co
has been chosen as his show venue this year. "King Khai Dinh used to choose Lang Co for his heavenly
retreat. Undoubtedly, the natural and magnificent beauty of this destination has been well preserved to
this day, allowing you to escape the hustle and bustle of the modern world to find peace, comfort, and
inner happiness here", shared Do Manh Cuong.
For this year's collection, Do Manh Cuong's 50 models and about 200 VIP guests are to be swept away
to the stunning location during the 3-day and 2-night event. This event is a remarkable milestone not
only for the successful career of fashion designer Do Manh Cuong but also for the 5 th anniversary of the
development of Laguna Lang Co.

With the two prior
journeys that we took,
we visited many different
places, and were constantly
on the go, and thus needed
lightweight luggage.This
time however with only
one destination in mind
and completely different
living conditions, we
wanted to be more than
well-prepared.
My childhood was spent
running wild among
the fields of rice plant
stumps after the
harvest season, playing
soccer with the local kids under
heavy afternoon rains, or trying to
catch fish in the rice fields. Those
are the most beautiful memories
that I have of my childhood. There
is nothing more comforting than
hearing the sound of children'
laughing, enjoying vast natural
space along with the sun and rain,
and the sound of the frogs among
bamboo trees near the pond close
to our home. It would be a shame
if our little girl missed out on such
experiences, so we took Oc again
on yet another long trip with us
to help her explore the beautiful
nature around her.
By the end of February, I had
traveled alone to Cat Ba National
Park to do a site check, was
provided helpful information
by the park's enthusiastic
management staff, and assured
that it would be an amazing
learning experience for Oc.
When I returned to Hanoi, my
whole family was excited, and
could not wait to embark on the
trip. We had two weeks to prepare
everything, and since this trip

was a little different from the two
that we took where we visited
many different places and were
constantly on the go and thus
needed lightweight luggage, this
time, with only one destination
in mind and completely different
living conditions, we wanted to be
more than well-prepared.
Our travel items included
climbing sticks, lightweight bags,
wind-proof jackets, trekking
shoes, flashlights, headlamps, a
GPS device, a compass, and a pair
of binoculars, and a magnifying
glass. Everything was prepared
with the sole intention of letting
Oc learn and have fun while
exploring the natural world.
The story of the forest
Our first days in Cat Ba National
Park were blessed with beautiful
weather that allowed us to
enjoy the sun, moon, stars, and
birds singing every morning
throughout the forest. Everyday
we woke up to a stunning scene
of lush forests, and fragrant
flowers, as well as clean, fresh air.
The mountains in front of our
eyes were painted yellow with the
color of the sun, while the sky was
filled with all kinds of birds flying
by. We were simply immersed in
the most pleasant and peaceful
atmosphere imaginable.
Trekking in the forest was a new
experience for the whole family,
even for me. I was not sure if Oc
was ready for it, even though she
had traveled everywhere with us.
She is only 3 years old after all,
and trekking in the forest requires
strength and perseverance.
On our first day, I took Oc for
a short trek into the forest. We
did not go on the main trekking
route, and instead followed a
small trail that led to the forest.
It was about 600 m from where
we stayed, and as soon as we
completed the trail, we found
ourselves lost in an incredible
world of trees, birds, and the
sound of nature.
We sprayed mosquito repellant
on Oc to prevent her from getting
bitten, but mosquitoes and bees
still circled around us. Oc got
to see many new things during
her first day in the forest, from
ants crawling under the brown
carpet of leaves on the ground,
to termites making a nest in a
tree trunk, to colorful bugs which
could be spotted under the leaves,
as well as all kinds of different
birds and butterflies flying from
one branch to another while the
sun was piercing through the
lush forest.
Oc found a small branch with
flowers, and enjoyed blowing the
petals away. The whole family
continued to follow the small
trail into the forest. My wife
suddenly started singing, and Oc
sang along cheerfully with her
mother, while I turned on the
GPS to navigate my way around,
and mark important spots. My
3G connection was weak, and
I was not sure if I could trust
my Google Map since it might
not have been accurate anyway.
It is very difficult to determine
exactly where you are when you
are standing in the middle of the
forest, and easy to panic if you are
lost. I felt much more confident
taking the GPS with me, so that
we knew where we were and
where we were headed.
Oc was excited to see, hear,
and experience so many new
things, although she had yet to
understand everything. I gave
her the compass to carry, along
with the binoculars on her neck,
a trekking stick in her hand, and
a hat to wear. Oc even played with
my Garmin GPS for a while until
she was bored, and moved on to
playing with her binoculars. We
wanted her to get familiar with
the items, even though she had
little knowledge of their purposes.
Oc became used to trekking, and
we went on further routes. One
particularly long trek was to Ao
Ech, where we had to split the
distance into shorter trails. We
completed the Forest Education
Trail, and passed the May Bau
Peak. The trail leading to Ao
Ech is picturesque whenever the
sun pierces through the forest,
creating a breathtaking scene,
the kind that you often only see
in movies. The terrain was flat at
the beginning of the trail, but the
later part was made up of steep
slopes and cliffs that required
more intense climbing and was a
lot more challenging.

Trekking is a task that often requires adults to have strength,
endurance, and some degree of physical conditioning. With
children, it is a different story. One kilometer of climbing
equals a 3 km walk on flat terrain, so we had to sing to Oc
to motivate her. She mostly walked by herself, except for
some parts where she held our hands, or needed to be lifted or held. With
children, each day gives a different experience. On a normal day, she would
get very excited and could walk long distances, but on a different day, she
would refuse to walk by herself, and wanted to be held instead. Oc is older
this year, but still very much a little girl. We encountered countless colorful
butterflies, mushrooms, and huge red ants on our way to Ao Ech. The forest
is such a great world with so many things to explore for Oc.
We stayed at a villa in Cat Ba National Park where we were surrounded
with lush mountains and forests. From here, you can trek along a number
of trails into the forest. To the north is Gia Luan Commune where you
cross over to Quang Ninh, to the west is Phu Long Commune, well-known
for its mangrove forests, and to the southeast is the town.
As soon as the sun sunk behind the far away mountains, everything
became pitch black, and the sound of birds, monkeys, and night insects
echoed from afar. We quickly trekked back to the villa with Oc holding the
flashflight to show us the way. Up in the sky were countless stars lighting
the night forest.
The story of the moon, stars and telescope
We were lucky to experience the moon at its peak during our first nights.
The full moon lit up the sky with its magical light, and its beautiful
presence was felt even when we were inside the room. Oc loved the
experience.
We opened all the windows to let the light in, and only closed them when
we went to bed, but still we kept the curtains open. If we had to, we could
have easily slept under this beautiful starry sky. The moonlight spread over
the entire villa and the surrounding forest. We could hear the sound of
birds, crickets, and insects clearly throughout the nights. Sometimes the
glistening stars were spotted from our beds. Oc loved to sing the North Star
song, "North star, north star, are you near or are you far?" before she went
to bed. Her favorite thing to do was to assign the stars, one for her, one for
me and one for her mother.
We brought out our telescope, binoculars, and camera during our first
nights to try to capture the breathtaking beauty of the moon. It was
my first time getting the telescope out, and putting it together was no
Travel with children in the forest
ñ Bring insect repellents, a first
aid kit, some basic medicines
or specific medications for your
children.
ñ Bring a climbing stick, trekking
shoes, and a good flashlight to
ensure the family has the safest
and most enjoyable experience.
The children can have their own
climbing sticks to help them
balance when going long distances
or when climbing though this isn't
necessary. Bring along items such
as GPS, binoculars, and telescope
for a more fun experience.
ñ Wear a hat with a neck flap,
sunglasses, and sunscreen.
ñ Bring some snacks for your
children to eat along the way.
ñ Bring plenty of water for the
whole family.
ñ Tell your children which plant
is safe to touch and which plant
is not. The same goes with the
insects. There are many kinds
of toxic mushrooms, plants, and
flowers in the forest. It is best to
advise your children not to touch
or eat anything while in the forest.
ñ Teach your children about the
natural world, the forest, the sea,
the moon, and the stars.
ñ Remind your children not to
litter in the forest, make a fire, or
damage any plants to protect the
environment.
easy task since it came in with
many different parts. It took me
forever to read the instruction
and assemble the telescope. Oc's
mother came to my aid, while
Oc played with different screws,
and lenses. It took me almost a
day to set up the tent and get the
telescope together, yet some parts
still remained unfitted as I had no
idea where to place them.
Oc had her own binoculars, a
small one, which works perfectly
fine, while we had a bigger pair
of binoculars. It was Oc's first
time looking at things through
the binoculars, and she loved it.
I helped her adjust the lenses for
sharper images. At night, when
the sky is clear, is when we used
the binoculars to watch thousands
of bright stars of different sizes. It
was a truly spectacular sight.
The story of the insects
We as adults often prefer the
convenience and comfort that
big cities provide, but to young
children, being in nature with the
opportunity to explore seems to
make them the happiest.
The forest is home to many
different types of insects, and we
encountered many both at the villa
and on our trails. I brought along
a container made of transparent
plastic that has air holes on one
side, all equipped with a neck
strap, a hand lens, and an insect
tweezer. Oc was very happy that
her daddy bought her an insect
container to study live insects.
We caught a big mantis on our
first day in the forest. After placing
it in the container, we observed
the mantis together. We used
both our eyes and the hand lens
to watch the mantis in close up.
Oc could not keep her eyes away
from the mantis. The next day, we
added other insects including a
grasshopper, a longhorn beetle, and
a butterfly to our little container.
We later also found a bee.
The box turned into Oc's own world
of insects, and she was very fond
of it. Despite the little knowledge
she had about insects, she enjoyed
studying them nevertheless. Oc's
friends, the children of other
vacations, who she met in the forest
all wanted to take turns to have a
look at Oc's amazing insect box.
We also found many house lizards
inside the villa, whom Oc loved
saying hello to in the evening, and
sometimes eve whispered to them,
"Do not be scared, I'm not a lion."

Additional information
Get there
ñ You can take a direct Daichi Group bus
from the Old Quarter in Hanoi to Cat Ba
National Park or Cat Ba Town for only
200,000 VND/person. If you want to travel
by car, first drive from Hanoi to Hai Phong,
then continue on to the sea bridge to cross
Cat Hai Island to the Got ferry station. From
here, it takes about 10 minutes to get to Cai
Vieng ferry station. From Cai Vieng, drive
for about 10 km to the Cat Ba National
Park. Total travel time is about 3.5 hours to
4 hours. Please note that the ferry runs on
even hours, so get to the ferry on time to
avoid waiting.
Stay
ñ You can find many hotels to stay in Cat
Ba Town for an affordable rate. But to
truly experience the forest, you should
choose to stay at the villa in Cat Ba National
Park. Contact the park management for
reservations.
Eat
ñ There are many dining options in town,
but if you stay at the villa in the park, their
communal cafeteria is the most convenient
option. If you go further for about 1.2
km, you can find a restaurant at Hoi Lake
Farmstay or at the 24rest Ecologic near
Trung Trang Cave.
Itinerary
ñ We chose to spend a whole month here,
but you could spend at least a week. If you
have limited time, arrange at least four or
five days for the children to enjoy the trip.
Cost
ñ A villa at the park costs between 400,000
to 1,000,000 VND depending on the season.
In addition to the villa option, you can stay
at their communal house for a lower rate.
It costs 200,000 VND/person for a Daichi
a bus ride from Hanoi to Cat Ba National
Park (if your child can sit on your laps, it is
usually free). A meal at the National Park
costs around 50,000 VND/person, while at
other restaurants in the area, it is around
100,000 VND/person. If you eat in town,
the cost can be higher ranging from 200,000
- 400,000 VND for a family of 2 adults and
1 child. Admission tickets to enter Ngu Lam
Peak, Ao Ech, and Trung Trang Cave cost
40,000 VND/person each. If you are a family
of 2 adults and 1 child, the total cost for a
4-day and 3-night journey is about 4,000,000
- 5,000,000 VND.
When to go
ñ You can visit Cat Ba National Park any
time since there is always something
interesting for you and your family to
explore, but summer time is an ideal time.
Cat Ba is cooler during other seasons, so
warm clothing is essential for the children.
Summer is also the peak season, and
services may be overloaded.
The story of the sea
Cat Ba is an island surrounded
by many other small islands.
After the jungle trip, we took Oc
back to town, and went to the
white sandy Cat Co 3 Beach. We
had both cool breezy days, and
beautiful sunny days. Regardless
of the weather, Oc loved
spending time near the sea.
Oc was bolder than on previous
trips, and was no longer afraid
of the water. On days when
the water was colder, Oc still
headed to the sea, jumped into
it, and played there until she
got tired. Her fun activities
include throwing stones into the
sea, crawling across the sandy
beach like a turtle, building
sand castles, and getting her feet
buried in the sand.
We hired a motorbike to explore
around the island, and ended
up finding a beautiful secluded
beach located in Hien Hao
Commune, close to the junction
where a coastal road takes you
to town and one takes you to the
Cat Ba National Park.
We decided to bring our things
there to camp. While her mother
got her book out to read, Oc and
I did some fun activites together.
We went to find dry branches to
make a fire, catch sea snails on
the rocks, and look for crabs on
the beach. The beach is a large
mudflat, where the tide recedes
early in the morning leaving
many different marine
species stranded on shore. We
also played in the mud. It was
Oc's first time playing in the
mud, and she absolutely loved
it. We later went to find all
different kinds of shells for Oc
to collect. It was important to me
to teach Oc about the worlds of
natural life.
Oc's story
When we first arrived Cat Ba, Oc was
a plump and pale little girl who
was afraid of worms, geckos, and
bees. After a month in the forest,
Oc became a lot tougher, started to
enjoy life in the forest, became familiar with the
insects, and got to know everyone at the park.
Our 30-day trip to Cat Ba National Park was
an unforgettable experience for Oc, and her
childhood memory made special by it. We know
that her memories of the forest, the sound of the
bees, the calls of the tokay geckos, house lizards
at night, and the sound of the forest will live on
until she becomes an adult.
We accomplished most of the goals we had set
before the trip for Oc from camping, to trekking
on her own in the forest, to climbing mountains,
to watching the moon and the stars, and playing
in the sea. Oc got to experience nature in a way
that most city kids nowadays seldom have the
opportunity to. She has learnt so many things
without knowing that she was learning.
Oc also had a chance to practice her English
during the trip as she met kids from many
different countries. Oc was able to greet, talk, and
chat with her new friends without any hesitation.
The whole family returned to Hanoi, and while
we are back at work, we are already planning for
the family's next trip, and looking for a Chinese
tutor for Oc. Our next journey which is likely to
be at the end of the year, will include Mongolia,
China, and Japan - another long trip of Oc to
discover the northeast Asia.

Wheretothismonth
From immersing in the lush
green water of Lang Co Bay, to
cloud hunting in the city of Dalat,
to witnessing incredible White
Nights in Russia, to experiencing a
cold summer in Australia, or taking
a leisurely stroll around Ireland on
warm sunny days, those are the
things you should include in your
travel plans this June. Here is a list
of 6 amazing destinations Travellive
has come up with for you!
Text: Bao Khuyen - Photos: Many photographers
VISIT JADE GREEN LANG CO
Lang Co is a township
situated between
Danang and Hue
with the scenic Hai
Van Pass to the south and Phu
Gia Pass to the north. Thanks
to its unique location, Lang
Co is surrounded by majestic
mountains and crystal clear
water, making it a site of an
incredible natural beauty. Lang
Co Beach is one of the few
gulfs that has jade green water
in Vietnam. The destination
is perfect to visit in summer,
though be prepared to be
blown away by its breathtaking
sceneries. The weather is
temperate, cool, and not too
hot during summer. The most
ideal times to explore Lang Co
is from April through to July,
just before the start of the rainy
season.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- Get there: From Danang or Hue you can
travel by bus, train, or even motorbike.
- Eat: Try the popular "b∏nh canh ch∂
cua" (crab cake soup), "bÛn riu cua cµng
b„c v·" (crab noodle soup), and "mæm
s" (fermented clam sauce) in Lang Co, in
addition to a wide variety of fresh seafoods.
6 must-
VISIT DESTINATIONS THIS JUNE
- Tip: Spend 3 days for your stay in Lang Co
to visit nearby attractions such as Lap An
Lake, Hai Van Pass, Bach Ma National Park,
Hue Imperial Citadel, and Khai Dinh Tomb.

LOST IN THE MAZE OF TEA HILLS
Located in the northeast
region of Vietnam, Thai
Nguyen provides a charming
landscape of lush tea hills and
picturesque rivers. The tea harvest
season in Thai Nguyen usually
starts in May and June - the best
time for blooming tea buds, and the
most beautiful season for visitors to
enjoy with amazing green carpets
of tea hills and cool breezy weather.
During this season, the incredible
landscapes of Thai Nguyen are
simply picture-perfect.
Visitors can watch local women pick
the tea leaves, discover traditional
and modern methods of tea
production, and experience the daily
life of the locals.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- Get there: You can travel by bus or motorbike
to Thai Nguyen since it is located quite close to
Noi Bai Airport - Hanoi.
- Eat: Bo Dau rice cake, Dinh Hoa bamboo rice,
"b∏nh cooc m" of the ethinic Tay, and aromatic
Thai Nguyen tea are a must-try.
- Tip: Spend at least 3 days in Thai Nguyen to
explore the process of tea production or make
it a retreat holiday. Also visit the nearby beautiful
Nui Coc Lake.
DALAT - CLOUD HUNTING SEASON
Known as "the city of mist", Dalat is
often covered in mist all year round
with summer being the only exception,
especially in June, when the mist
starts to disappear and the clouds take
over the region's lush mountains.
To go "clound hunting", rising early
is essential to catch a glimpse of the
beautiful white clouds before the sun
goes up.
Dalat in the early morning is chilly,
and is the perfect time for you to relax,
watch the clouds passing by, and wait
for the first sun rays of the day to
appear. The clouds are, if not spread out
like a long piece of white silk, rolled into
layers of waves drifting amid the air.
Dalat is a truly romantic city to visit this
June with your loved one.
When going "cloud hunting" in the
mountains, you can find the chance to
stand above the clouds as they drape
over trees, and mountains and cut
through the hills. When in Dalat, take
the opportunity to visit Cu Lan Village,
Dat Set Village, Chicken Church, and
the popular Windmills Cafä.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- Get there: You can travel by airplane, train, or bus
to Dalat since it is a popular tourist destination only
300km from Ho Chi Minh City.
- Eat: Drink a glass of hot soy milk before going cloud
hunting to keep yourself warm. You should also try
b∏nh ≠Ìt lng gµ (chicken giblet salad), b∏nh mÏ
x›u mπi (meatball sandwich), and delicious avocado
ice-cream.
- Tip: Dalat is a small town, so spending 3 days to
enjoy the fresh air is enough. You can watch the
clouds on tea hills, visit Trai Mat, Suoi Vang Lake, and
Tiger's Cave Waterfall.
RUSSIA - ADMIRE THE ENCHANTING SKY OF
WHITE NIGHTS
The "White Nights" is a very unique
natural phenomenon occuring from
May to mid-July in Russia, where
tourists often flock to this far north
country to enjoy the amazingly bright
night sky with seemingly round-theclock
daylight. During this period, the
sun goes down at 11 pm, and daylight
lasts almost 19 hours. St. Petersburg
and Moscow are the two places you
can see the White Nights most clearly.
In St. Peterburg, the White Nights
start from June 11 to July 2 annually.
During those days, people often
gather at the squares or stay up the
whole night to enjoy the enchanting
scene of the city when the sky turns
to a dreamy milky color, or light
pink, or brilliant yellow. Go to the
Red Square and St. Basil's Cathedral
in Moscow to have an unforgettable
experience.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- Get there: Direct flights are available from
Vietnam to Moscow and St. Petersburg.
- Eat: Try Russian dumplings Pelmeni and stuffed
buns Pirozhki for an amazing culinary experience.
- Tip: You should spend from 10 days to 2
weeks to explore the wonderful country of
Russia since it is rich with famous architectural
works from the Peterhof Palace, to the
Catherine Palace, to the Cathedral of Christ the
Saviour, and the Red Square.
AUSTRALIA - EXPERIENCE A COLD SUMMER
Located in the southern hemisphere,
Australia is the sixth largest country
in the world with a climate very
unique and different to other parts
of the world. Winter here usually
begins in June and lasts through
to August. While it is summer in
Vietnam, Australia is experiencing
colder months, and is preparing for
its winter festivals.
To enjoy colder weather this
summer holiday with lots of fun
activities, visit the state of Victoria
and its capital, Melbourne, where
you can find hundreds of beautiful
snow-covered ski trails. Do not forget
to visit Mount Buller resort town for
an incredible snow boarding and
skiing experience.
You can also take part in unique
arts events from the Alpine Winter
Festival, to the Alittle Night Music
at the Sydney Opera House, or visit
the Melbourne Museum. For history
lovers, do visit the St. Patrick's
Cathedral in Melbourne with
splendid Gothic style architecture
that attracts a large number of
international visitors.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- Get there: Direct flights to Melbourne are
available from Ho Chi Minh City. Most other flights
transit in either Singapore or Sydney.
- Eat: Try delicious Australian beer during your
winter days in Australia. But be warned, it's
typically much stronger than Vietnamese beer.
- Tip: You can spend a week for this trip. If you
like shopping, this is also the best time to bring
home quality items at an affordable price from
popular shopping streets such as Chapel Street
and Auckland Street in Victoria.
IRELAND - VISIT THE "ANCIENT PEARL" OF
WESTERN EUROPE
If Ireland is a destination listed in
your plan, late summer is the best
time to visit this beautiful country.
The rainy season in Ireland often
lasts for a long time with fog
covering most major cities, but
the weather starts to clear and get
warmer in June, making it the
perfect time for visitors to explore
ancient castles and buildings,
and enjoy lush pastures everywhere
you go.
Despite not having the lively
atmosphere of an industrial nation,
Ireland nevertheless possesses a
mysterious charm that has enticed
international travelers again and
again. Spend an extra few days on
your trip to visit the Blarney Castle
and Ashford Castle, wander
around the alleys, visit museums in
Dublin, or the Cliffs of Moher for
stunning views.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- Get there: Direct flights to Ireland from Vietnam
are not yet available, but you can transit in the UK
before flying to Dublin.
- Eat: Irish cuisine is very unique. You should try
traditional Irish potato pancake Boxty, and Coddle,
an interesting Irish dish that uses up leftovers.
- Tip: Ireland is not part of the Schengen Area, so
you must apply for a separate visa when entering
the country. Ireland does not have subway, but
you can travel by train, tram, and bus. You should
spend at least a week in Ireland to experience "the
country with the best quality living in the world".
Keep in mind though that people drive on the
opposite side of the road, so be sure to look both
ways when crossing streets.

taken for 360 degree spins in a circular rail and hung up in the air
while upside down. Try your luck with the Gyro Drop, where you
experience shocking freefalls from 70 meters reaching the speed
of 100 km/h. If you travel with young children, try more kid-friendly
activities such as the Camelot Carrousel or get on the Aeronaut
Balloon Ride for amazing views of the park from high above.
Get there: Take the Seoul Subway to Jamsil Station (Seoul Subway Line
2), the Lotte World is directly connected to the station * Eat: BBQ Lotte
World Restaurant is one of the most popular places to eat at the park.
Do visit the nearby Lotte World City Shopping Center for a fun family
shopping experience * Tip: For a different experience, take your family to
Korea's largest indoor aquarium, the Lotte World Aquarium. 3

Unlike other theme parks, Ocean Park Hong Kong has 17 shows of
rare marine species. Here, you can come into close contact with sea
lions, walruses, and emperor penguins, or learn about the life of the
Arctic Wolf at the park's exhibition. You can also visit the amazing
Grand Aquarium to see 5,000 marine animals. The park also features
adventurous rides such as the Hair Raiser roller coaster which
rotates 360 degrees and drops at 90 degree angle to give you an
unforgettable experience.
Get there: A direct bus to the park is available from the city center * Eat:
There are many fast food restaurants in the park. You can choose to eat
hotdogs, fried chickens, pastas, and even Hong Kong style grilled dishes *
Tip: Hong Kong people have a habit of sleeping in, so Ocean Park Hong
Kong is only open from 10 am. If you are an early riser, get there early and
it may save you from the incredibly long queues.

Tokyo Disneyland - Japan
Tokyo Disneyland is one of the five largest theme parks in the
world with a total area of over 460,000 m 2 . The park features
seven themed areas with over 40 attractions. Right at the main
entrance is the huge World Bazaar shopping area. The Magical
Cinderella Castle, Mickey's House, Donald Duck's Boat, and
Chip In Dale's Treehouse can all be found at the center of the
park, and are the kids' most favorite areas to be sure.
You can also take part in Star Wars or Buzz Lightyear Astro
Blasters from Toy Story games for an exciting experience.
Another fun activity that should not be missed while you are
here is the classic Disney attraction Big Thunder Mountain,
where you go on a wild runaway train ride that allows you to
enjoy amazing views of the Westernland.
Get there: You can travel by bus, taxi, train, or subway to get to
Tokyo Disneyland * Eat: At the Restaurant Hokusai you can find
many authentic Japanese dishes from Chirashi Don (sushin in a
bowl) to Maple Leaf Tempura * Tip: The queues can be extremely
long, so be patient while lining up for the games. Try not to miss any
activities that you want to partake in.

Jammu & Kashmir state is often referred to as the "crown of India" due to its geographical location
and its majestic beauty. The Eastern half of J&K state is home to the wild and enigmatic mountains
of Ladakh. Tucked away in the imposing Himalayas is the ancient Phuktal monastery, the spiritual
center of these mountains and our destination on this arduous trip.

Into the wild in Zanskar
Upon arrival in Zanskar, I felt
immersed in its picturesque
landscape of high
mountains and the powerful
Suru valley. Zanskar is
part of Ladakh, or little
Tibet, and it belongs to Jammu &
Kashmir (J&K); the western part of
the state reaches Pakistan and the
eastern and northern parts border
Tibet. J&K once captured the heart
of an Indian king, who dubbed
the land "paradise on Earth". J&K
encompasses the gentle beauty of its
deep blue lake, it is as stunning as
its glaciers and snowy Himalayas,
it is wild as the roaring river, as
quiet as the monastery of the slopes,
and just as romantic as the valleys
concealed in golden leaves.
Departing from Leh, capital of the
Ladakh region, half of my journey
had already passed when I arrived in
Zanskar. Leh is about 220 km and a
seven-hour ride from Kargil, gateway
to Zanskar. After staying the night
in Kargil, we made another twelvehour
trip on a 240 km mountain
road arriving in Padum.
Up to the high valley,
Padum
Padum lies deep within the pristine
Zanskar region of India and is a
small, secluded town located near
the confluence of the Doda Fork,
Tsarap and Zanskar rivers, in the
basin 3,600 m above sea level,
surrounded by mountain peaks
where time has left them scarred
with ice and wind.
Padum is located in the heart of
Zanskar, with a population near
1,000 people. The inhabitants are
primarily Buddhists; however, similar
to Kargil, Padum is also under the
control of Sunni Muslims. Here,
Buddhism and Islam exist in parallel.

Visa
ñ You can apply for Indian visa at the
embassy in Hanoi or make an e-visa
at the embassy's website at www.
indianonlinevisas.org.
Itinerary
ñ From Vietnam there are many flights to
New Delhi, the capital of India. From here,
you can fly Indian domestic carriers to
Srinagar or Leh, two major cities of Jammu
& Kashmir. From these two major cities,
there are a number of tour operators
providing hotel services and driver
assistance, bringing you to Anmu village
(passing through Padum).
Staying
ñ Ladakh's major cities have many
guesthouses and hotels, with hot and
cold water. The tour companies will
give you the list to choose from, the
quality is proportional to the price of
each tour. Private accommodation in
Phuktal is geographically isolated and lacks
communication facilities, so reservations
can not be made. Room rates INR 1000
(about 15 USD per person per night). If
there is no room upon arrival, you can go
to monastery and ask for a place to sleep.
The two nearest villages to the monastery
are Cha and Purney villages.
TRAVELLIVE
The town of Padum is named
after Padmasambhava, the
Lotus-Born, one of two monks
who spread Indian Buddhism to
Tibet. Through its introduction
to Tibet, Indian Buddhism has
become interwoven with the ancient Bӧn
religion of the Tibetan people, forming
a distinct Tibetan Buddhism that
encompasses a magical flair and divine
spirituality. Tibetan Buddhism followed
the Tibetan immigrants back to Ladakh.
Taking its influence from Tibet, the
Buddhism of Ladakh follows two main
branches, the Drugpa and the Gelugpa.
The Zanskar region is no exception.
We stayed in Padum a few days to visit
nearby villages and monasteries, to enjoy
the pure and peaceful atmosphere of
Zanskar before starting our trekking
journey to Phuktal. The fatigue from
our long trip melted away at the sight of
the thousand year old monastery door,
veiled on the cliff. In front of me now
is a vast space. Below, a stream of water
winds between rooftops and gardens. Far
away, the shadow of Zanskar casts upon
white snow. All was quiet, except for the
whistling of the wind through wooden
chinks in the door; in the courtyard
the flag flew overhead as the leaves
fell against each other. How I love and
appreciate this moment.
From Padum to Phuktal
The next day, we left Padum early in
the morning for Phuktal, an ancient
Buddhist shrine associated with the
Gelugpa. Built in the 12 th century
from mud and wood, Phuktal has a
special position, dropping itself from
a natural cavern and looming over the
canyon above the Tsarap River. Today
the monastery remains isolated to the
outside world but is still home to
eighty monks.
From Padum, our driver named Kunga
drove us over two and a half hours to
Anmu village situated about 30 km away.
It is at this moment that I begin to understand why the Tibetans of
the BӦn religion believe the mountains, trees, and rivers all carry
souls. The world around me appears as primitive yet lively.
Upstream of the Tsarap River, the
road sits narrowly between slender
canyons. On one side is a high
mountain, on the other rests a deep
river. In the early morning, the river
is translucent and elegant. From a
distance, smoke arises from small
houses, glittering in the early sun
while sparrows fly over harvested
fields. All as in a poem.
In reality, we are moving along on
a rocky road. The road tightens,
winds, the car is thumping against
the rocks, wheels sliding along the
rock-strewn slope. The very look
of the road is enough to strike fear
in us. Finally we have reached the
small village of Amnu. Phuktal is
just a 12km walk away.
When 9 am rolls around we depart
from Amnu. The first trek appears
easy, it's not too steep nor too deep.
My strength is average, but at the
altitude of 4,000 m above sea
level, I realize that I am weaker
than I thought.
After a two and a half hour hike from
Anmu, we arrive at Cha village where
we rest for lunch. From Cha village
to Phuktal is another 7 km and there
are few households here. All of the
white houses here are very simple
but idyllic. Out of Cha village, a steep
slope was waiting for us just as the
sun was on the top of our heads. We
move a few steps to stop and try to
encourage each other to continue.
After the ramp, the trail gently
descends. A few hundred meters
below us the Tsarap River is flowing
to Padum. Purney village and Cha
village are the two rarer inhabited
places on the way to Phuktal.
From here, the landscape becomes
surreal, the dreamlike landscape
opens up to us and each turn
provokes scenery more dazzling than
the last. From the top, I gaze upon
the Tsarap River flowing between two
straight canyons. How can that river
be so crystalline, and the mountains
so breathtakingly vast? The sunset,
dipping into the mountain peak,
melts into rays and bathes the rocks
in rose, sending the water below into
a serene shimmer.
It is at this moment that I begin to
understand why the Tibetans of the
Bӧn religion believe the mountains,
trees, and rivers all carry souls.

After months of
waiting, I have
finally made
it. Phuktal is
amongst the most
secluded and
mysterious of
ancient shrines.
The world around me appears
as primitive yet lively. It is so
close that I feel that by merely
lifting my hand, I will truly be
connected to the miraculous
breath of nature.
I will still be out to see if the afternoon
sun is fading, do not remind me to
hurry, I'm watching my step. The
ledges are narrow, some of the rocks
are near the edge of the road; our
movements are slight as the terrain is
difficult. Fortunately for us, it was not
raining that day.
90
Touching Phuktal
Three hours after leaving the Cha
village, we came to the lodge at the
foot of the monastery. This place
is the quintessence of isolation: no
phone signals, no internet. In the
summer, visitors can walk or travel by
donkeys or horse drawn carts over the
mountain trails. However, in winter,
extreme weather will blanket Zanskar
and the Tsarap River will freeze over.
We've arrived at Phuktal!
After months of waiting, I have finally
made it. Phuktal is amongst the most
secluded and mysterious of ancient
shrines. In the midst of the wilderness,
seasoned by centuries of fierce
weather, Phuktal has been shielded by
the natural cave in the cliff, standing
defiant, ancient and calm.
Phuktal is the soul of the Lungnak
valley (Tsarap). The monks here
TRAVELLIVE
assist the people by organizing
prayer, weddings, funerals and open
schools teaching basic subjects and
religious lessons to children from
grades 1 to grade 8. To this day, the
monastery's clinic hands down the
traditional medical knowledge of
the Tibetan people; they also help to
heal the neighboring villagers. The
monks were away when we reached
the monastery, only a few stayed in
the temple. The tranquility of this
landscaped is dwarfed by the silence
of the temple.
Phuktal, more than anywhere, is
a place to disappear and meditate.
Phuktal comes from the words "Phuk"
meaning "cave" and "tal" - "rest", or
"thar" - "liberate". It's far off distance
does not dissuade travelers seeking
absolute isolation. Travelers may find
that being alone with nature will melt
away the concerns of life.
That night, we slept at the inn on the
foot of the monastery. The inn was
simple with only four rooms; there
was no way to book rooms in advance.
Luck was on our side as there were
two little rooms available. It was only
a tiny bit crowded for ten people. As
the monks were away, we couldn't
have breakfast at the monastery
the following morning. The instant
noodles we packed were not nearly
enough for both lunch and breakfast.
The instant noodles offered by the inn
had expired 6 months ago. Finding a
proper meal proved more difficult in
this land of isolation.
We left immediately the next
morning. Although we knew that
this route would tire our bodies, we
still chose to take the road passing by
Roads
ñ To go to Phuktal Monastery,
you have to conquer Leh - Kargil -
Padum - Phuktal or Srinagar - Kargil
- Padum - Phuktal. The entire route
is about 500 km of mountain roads.
Anmu village is the last village
where cars have access. Then
take the long trek about 12 km to
Phuktal (this section is between 24-
25 km for return trip). At Padum,
you can find a porter- guide who
can take you by car to Anmu and
take you to Phuktal.
Health note
ñ The Zanskar region is located at
altitudes above 4,000 m. Therefore,
you should be well prepared
for health problem, especially
consult your doctor for advice on
antihypertensives.
CuisinE
ñ Zanskar people are mainly
Buddhist and vegetarian. Fish here
is very scarce. You should prepare
dry food from home to make the
meal varied.
Not to be missed
experiences in Zanskar
ñ Visit Lang Tso Twin Lake,
Stat Tso, Drang-Drung Glacier,
Rangdum Monastery on the way
from Kargil to Padum
ñ Visiting villages and monasteries
around Padum, exploring Zanskar
people's life: Sani Village, Karsha
Monastery, Dzongkul Monastery
ñ Trekking into Phuktal and feeling
the majestic beauty of the river
Additional preparation
ñ In addition to common personal
belongings, for trips to Zanskar
area and trekking Phuktal you
need to bring some other items:
ñ Sleeping bags when the bed is
not warm enough
ñ Good trekking shoes
ñ Thermos bottle to keep water
hot longer for making tea or
carrying to bed
ñ Heattech clothing and
comfortable clothes, multi-layer
ñ Moisturizing cream for skin
and lips
ñ Altitude sickness medicine
Reference fees
ñ A total of 1,300 USD for a
17-day trip, including airfare and
visa fees
Purney village, a little bit longer than
the path through Cha village. The first
suspension bridge across the Tsarap
River is just steps away from Phuktal.
The sun has yet to rise, the shadows of
the mountain are still sleeping on the
frigid flowing water.
Our energy streams back into us as
we near the Purney village, three
hours from Phuktal. The road is wider
this morning, but it is not the gentle
road of yesterday as it is a continuous
up and down. Purney shows up
beautifully, with small white houses
quietly nestled in the early sun.
Purney is located at the confluence
of rivers. Down below, the muddy
Kargyag River, flowing from Shingo
La, merges into the clear stream of
the Tsarap River from Baralacha La.
The Tsarap River then flows towards
Padum to the northwest until it
meets the main Zanskar valley, which
is called Jung-khor by locals. The
convergence of these two streams
mesmerizes me with their mystery
and wonder.
Two more hours from Purney, we
reached the second suspension
bridge. This one is longer and rickety
than the one before. It was too late,
the road back was now far away. My
sight is dimmed by the sun, dried and
clouded by the wind and the dust. I try
to continue my steps. At that moment,
I recalled the people I met on the
streets, remembering the gentle
smiles of the old women standing
on the porch of the white house
with brown frame, the gentle eyes of
mothers holding children, innocent
faces of the children born in the wild
hills, grown like weeds.
I also recall the moments when the
green lake revealed itself behind
the turn, the moment the sun rose
to bring the world to life, when two
streams of different colors merged
into one.
I know why I am here. Every trip
makes me happy twice. First when
I journey on the long way, when
beautiful images fill my eyes and
moving emotions fill my heart. And
the other is when I return, push
open the door of the house where the
people I love welcome me back.

ROOF OF THE
With mountains over 7,000 m situated in eastern Tajikistan, the Pamir Mountains
are referred to as "the roof of the world" and were once considered a strategic
trade route on the Silk Road. The historic Pamir Highway, officially called
M41 and located at an altitude of over 4,000 m - the world's second highest
international highway - is an excellent challenge for adventure cyclists.
TRAVELLIVE 113
Every morning we woke up to
a magical setting, and were
overjoyed with a profound
gratitude for life.
114
TRAVELLIVE
DREAMY
FORBIDDEN LAND
As soon as we arrived in Dushanbe,
the capital of Tajikistan, we headed
to the OVIR (Migration Police)
office to apply for our visa permit.
Just a week before we left, we
were told the Pamirs had been
closed to tourists due to rockfalls.
Fortunately, the problem had been
managed, and we received our visas
the next day before hitting the road.
Most of the roads we cycled
on in Uzbekistan were flat
and easy to travel, but the ones
in Tajikistan had many slopes
that were not only high but also
long. Despite the challenge, we
reached our milestone of 10,000
km, a remarkable figure that
reminded us that we had only
departed Paris nine months ago.
From inexperienced beginner
cyclists, we have now become
seasoned warriors.
We woke up early in the morning
when the air was still breezy and
only a few vehicles could be spotted
on the streets. Everyone was
exceptionally warm toward us. One
day, we were given a huge melon by
a driver from a melon pickup truck
before he happily drove away.
During our first days, we cycled
along the scenic Panj River that
borders Afghanistan, a country
we had long wanted to visit where
the beauty of the land and the
hospitality of the people have
became legendary. The feeling is
hard to describe when we were
just a river away from the "dreamy
forbidden land".
We chose an incredibly beautiful
location to camp with majestic
mountains surrounding us. The hot
climate caused the ground to crack,
but below it ran a mellow stream.
It was difficult for us to get down,
but in the end we managed to bathe
ourselves in the cool water, and
washed away all the sweat and hard
work of the day.
On another day, we set up a tent
right next to the Panj River.
On the other side of the
river, a group of Afghan women
dressed in long skirts were seen
laughing and washing their clothes,
while local shepherds made their
way back home with their cattles,
taking the dust up in the air. We
also spotted young men with their
heads wrapped and jackets flying
in the wind on Cross motorcycles
raised their hands to wave at us.
Life there seems peaceful, but no
doubt Afghanistan is one of the
most dangerous place in the world.
FULL OF SWEAT
TRAVELERS ON TWO
WHEELS
From the river, we headed toward
the villages to experience the
locals' daily life. Small kids with
bare feet and sunburnt faces but
sparkling eyes stood cheering us
on and clapped their little hands
for us sweat-drenched travelers
on two wheels. Seeing us must
Clockwise from this picture:
Alessio, Binh Nguyen's husband;
Riding donkey, a familiar animal
in the highland's life; Tajikistan
smile; The nomad opens the tent
welcomes travelers
have been a particular delight for
children in those remote areas.
They reminded me of the children
in the Vietnamese writer Thach
Lam's story, who waited daily for
the train to pass as some sort of joy
that made their lives less dull.
Every day we bought two buckets
of apricots from the local children.
The sweetness of the golden
apricots enabled us to resist the
terrible heat and cope with the
lack of food. Even now, thinking
of them makes my mouth water.
Besides meeting the kids, we had
interesting encounters everyday.
We were sometimes invited to play
soccer with the young men in the
green fields. When we camped
near the villages, people would
either pay us a visit, invite us to
their home, or give us food. The
incredible hospitality of the locals
took us by surprise and deeply
touched us.
The M41 highway, where we cycled
was once a major trading route
in Central Asia. It turns out that,
despite being called a "highway",
the road is quite narrow and in
bad condition with many potholes.
Traffic is sparse with mainly cargo
trucks traveling this road.
At an altitude of 3,000 m, the
nights became colder, and the
ground cooler, a stark contrast to
our previous days' experiencing
heated campgrounds that lasted
through the night. It also became
more difficult for us to continue
our climb when we reached the
altitude of 4,000 m, where the
lack of oxygen required us to
double our strength. There were
steep slopes one after another and
the condition of the road remained
challenging. At this point, even
experienced cyclists had to try
their hardest to push on the pedals
while everyone simply went quiet.
Food became increasingly sparse
with no fruits were available and
cooking dishes became difficult.
We mainly had bread with
condensed milk for breakfast,
along with cereals and canned
foods for lunch and dinner.
TRAVELLIVE 11
In return, we were rewarded
with the most magnificent and
breathtakingly beautiful scenes.
Every stop was more beautiful
than the previous with gentle
rivers and majestic mountains
twisting in exotic shapes all
about. Every morning we woke
up to a magical setting, and
were overjoyed with a profound
gratitude for life. It felt incredible
to be in harmony with nature and
we were awash with a deep sense
of inner peace. We went on and
hardly met anyone along our trail.
All that was left behind was our
bike tracks.
CAMPING ON THE ROOF
OF THE WORLD
We decided to take a detour to
visit Bulunkul, a remote village
in the Pamirs. We were taken by
surprise with the stunning scenery
of blue sky, red mountains, and
golden sand. However, the village
was a disappointment. Almost
everyone we met was in a state
of drunkeness, and the children
seemed bored. We turned down
the offer to stay at one of the
locals' homestays, and decided
to camp among nature instead,
even if we had to sweat a few liters
more and burned a few thousand
more calories before finding a
good spot.
We made it to Murgab totally
exhausted but full of pride. We
found a place to stay at the Pamir
Hotel, a godsend for tired cyclists
who wanted nothing more than
a soft bed, hot bath, and a real
kitchen. We spent two days here
to rest, relax, and drink a few cold
beers before heading for our final
leg of the journey - conquering
the Ak-Baital Pass, the highest
point of the M41 highway at 4,655
m height which was more than a
day away.
After getting to the top, we came
back down and the trail was just
as challenging as the way up, if
not more dangerous with bumpy
ground and winding paths. At the
end of our journey, we all walked
around with limp legs and our
bikes were absolutely worn out.
When we arrived at the Karakul
Lake what opened before our eyes
was amazing scenery with blue
water, clear sky, and white clouds
against the backdrop of snowcovered
mountains. We had lunch
at a local's house in the village
114
TRAVELLIVE
efore being offered a place to rest, and
we simply could not refuse. The house
was in the typical style of Central Asia
which features a large room with bright
red carpets and sofa pillows scattered
around the room. I even found precious
pieces of decoration from the Soviet
Union in their house, which were very
commonly used in Vietnam over 30
years ago when I was still a child.
The country of Tajikistan and the
Pamir Mountains are no doubt "the
roof of the world", and we were
challenged to the last minute. The last
distances and the last slopes before
we reached the Kyrgyzstan border
We grinded our teeth,
lowered our heads to
concentrate on the pedaling,
and had to push our own
bikes at some points.
BInH ngUyen
Having left Vietnam to settle in
france, Binh Nguyen joined
his friend Rasom alessio of
Italian nationality to travel
around the world from paris
to Hanoi on a bicycle. Taking
the nickname "rollingpotatoes",
Binh Nguyen and Rasom
alessio made their long journey
from paris to 18 countries. The
"rollingpotatoes" are adventure
cyclists who often seek the most
challengeing trails. You can
see pictures from their past trips
on www.rollingpotatoes.com.
were probably our most challenging
moments. We had to go down in the
oppositie direction of the wind, and
overcome steep slopes. We grinded our
teeth, lowered our heads to concentrate
on the pedaling, and had to push our
own bikes at some points.
After spending over three weeks in
Tajikistan, we finally said our goodbyes.
Before heading to Kyrgyzstan for a
totally new adventure, we looked back
for one last time, trying to take in as
much of the incredible views of nature
and the hospitality of the locals, so that
this unforgettale experience would be
forever engraved in our hearts.

ñ When in every city, take some time to visit
the local markets to experience a true feel
of Tajikistan through different colors, tastes,
and sounds.
ñ Bulunkul and Karakul lakes have the most
beautiful views along the highway.
ñ The souvenir shops set up in broken buses
in Yamg Village are popular stops for visitors.
STAy
ñ There are no hotels or motels in the
suburbs of Murghab and Khorog. The only
option for travelers on the Pamir highway
is to stay at a local's home, or camp along
the road.
eAT
ñ Central Asian cuisine is not particularly
diverse. You should definitely try Plov (rice
is simmered in a rich stew of meat and
vegetables) and Kurutob (flat bread served
in a warm yogurt based sauce topped with
onions, tomatoes, and fesh herbs).

It's hard to forget the feeling of sitting on a slow
walking camel in the middle of an immense desert,
where dunes stretch to infinity, when golden light
glistens in the afternoon and a sudden whirlwind rolls
over in dark dust. Even the feeling of dull lasting pain
from a two-hour camel ride in Morocco is difficult to
forget. It's like sitting on a bicycle saddle and riding
that bike through a pot-poled path. Taking pictures via
camel is also no easy task due to the wobbly position.
If you desire desert pictures with the walking camel
corps, you should jump to the ground, sustain blasts of
sandy wind whipping your face and run after the corps
to take photos.
Travel blogger Quoc Anh telling the story
behind the stunning photo of the Sahara he
captured.

E xplore Taiwan's
In addition to the National Palace Museum, Taiwan offers other amazing museums for
visitors to enjoy, many of which are considered national treasures, and left me in awe
during my recent trip to this beautiful country.

The "Louvre" of Taiwan
I have always had an interesting
fascination with museums.
Everywhere I travel, museums are
usually the firsts on my list of places
to visit. My recent trip to Taiwan was
one of the few trips with exception
since Taiwan is a very young country,
and I thought its museums were not
worth visiting. It turned out that I
could not have been more wrong.
Initially, I only intended to visit the
National Palace Museum in Taipei
as it is always ranked among the top
10 most famous museums to visit in
the world.
As soon as I
entered the gate
however, I was
completely in
awe. Everywhere
you look is
a priceless
Chinese antique
or artifact that
exemplifies
the finest
craftmenship
and imperial taste
encompassing 8,000 years
of China's historical and artistic
achievements.
The museum offers a number
of display rooms and galleries
exhibiting works of calligraphy,
renowned paintings, bronze
relics, porcelains, jade artifacts,
curios, tapestries, rare books, and
documents that date back thousands
of years from the Neolithic age
(4,500 - 2,700 BC) through to
the 20 th century. These priceless
treasures give visitors a glimpse
into China's rich history, culture,
philosophy, and customs.
Unfortunately, visitors can not
admire all of the nearly 700,000
artifacts that the Taipei National
Palace Museum currently possesses
if they only visit the museum once.
Due to the excessive amount, the
artifacts exhibited at the museum
are rotated once every three
months. I did not have the chance
to view the museum's two most
prized items, the Jadeite Cabbage
- a piece of jadeite intricately
carved into the shape of a Chinese
cabbage, and the Meat-shaped Stone
- a piece of jasper that resembles a
hunk of pork belly.
National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts
Leaving the Taipei National Palace Museum, I decided to add
other museums across Taiwan to my must-visit list. The Taipei
Fine Arts Museum is closed to the public until the summer of
2018, so I headed to Taichung to explore the National Museum
of Fine Arts. Considered one of the finest modern art museums
in Asia, the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts provides a
playful and interesting learning space for kids.
The main building breaks the traditional scheme of architecture by
using a transparent corridor that connects the museum and outdoor
nature scenes to create a spatial transition and communicate a mutual
awareness. Unlike the Taipei National Palace Museum, which houses
a permanent collection of artifacts, the National Museum of Fine
Arts features only one permanent exhibition on its third floor, which
consists of mostly Taiwanese artifacts from the 18 th century to the
present day.
The lower floors of the museum regularly hold exhibitions featuring
Western artworks, Chinese brush paintings, sculptures, and its own
collection of valuable pieces of art. The National Museum of Fine Arts
also provides a number of kids-friendly zones to encourage children
to explore art and visit the museum's Picture Book Area and Family
Room, both of which are often filled with children of all ages.
My favorite part of the museum is the green park that surrounds the
main entrance. The park contains 45 sculptures, and a stone tablet
forest with 50 calligraphic tablets engraved onto stone by renowned
Taiwanese scholars. The whole area measures 102,000 square meters
with vast grassy areas where visitors often like to sit to enjoy the gentle
breezes, and listen to the children laughing.

National Museum of
Natural Sciences
It comes as no surprise that
the National Museum of
Natural Science attracts three
million visitors each year
since it is one of the most
frequently visited museums
in Taiwan. With an area of 22
acres, the museum is a large
complex of six seperate venues,
which offer all from exhibitions to
learning facilities for adults and
children of all ages.
Located in Taichung, the National
Museum of Natural Science
covers a vast area of 89,000
square meters, including over 30
permanent exhibition areas where
diverse subjects are explored,
encouring visitors to have a
deeper understanding of nature
and science through interactive
exhibits, robotics, and cubism.
The National Museum of Natural
Sciences offers one of the most
lively and highly interactive
exhibits that I have ever been to. In
the Dinosaur Gallery, you will find
more than 50 different kinds of
fossils and replicas as well as four
life-size and life-like animatroic
dinosaurs. The Human Culture
Hall offers an insightful look into
the evolution of humans, birds,
and other animals.
At the museum is where I learned
about China's four greatest
inventions from paper making, to
gunpowder making, to printing,
and compass making, as well as
where I read ancient writings
on the turtle shell, studied a
sophisticated textile weaving
machine, explored the system of
acupuncture points on the body,
and other forms of traditional
medical knowledge which China
has been known for, as well as
admire over 100 different herbs
and discover the Chinese spiritual
life. Visitors can also learn about
the life of ancient Taiwanese
with their traditional cultivation
and fishing methods, explore the
museum's collection of precious
gems and minerals, and discover
a rainforest with over 800 species
of plants. Try to learn as much as
posible while you are here and you
will not regret it.
The National Museum of Natural
Science has one of the finest
state-of-the-art facilities around the
world, as can be seen in the design
of the exhibits, and clever use of
space, light and color to create an
aestheticly pleasing and highly
interactive space for its visitors.
The National Museum of Natural
Sciences plays the roll of not only
an important educational center
on a national scale, but also is
able to arouse both adults' and
children's interests in science.
The museum is also a fantastic
recreation venue perfect for both
locals and visitors alike.

Good morning
HANOI
Text and photos: Ngoc Tran

TRAVELLIVE
Rise early and take a walk around the Old Quarter to see how
Hanoians greet the morning!
Hanoians love to fill their stomachs with a good traditional breakfast. Choose from a
variety of delicious breakfast options from rice noodle filled soups, to different types of
vermicelli noodles, to sticky rice, to p©tä with bread as well as rib porridges and balut.
All you have to do is pick a street stall, sit down on the plastic stool on the sidewalk,
and enjoy your favorite breakfast.
food&beverage
You can find a number of popular food stalls on Hang Bong, Hang Gai, and Hang Dao where
their longstanding reputation attracts long queues of customers every morning.
Hanoi's staple dish is the famous 'phÎ' with options ranging from beef to chicken, to beef stew noodle
soups, all using a fragrant semi-clear broth made from pork or chicken bones and a number of spices. A
bowl of 'phÎ' never looks more tempting than with thin cuts of beef or chicken and green onions fresh and
aromatic in the morning air. Squeeze in a bit of lime juice, add chili sauce and garlic vinegar to your soup
to get the finest flavor and enjoy your 'phÎ' in all of its glory.
'B∏nh cuËn' or rolled-rice noodle is another favorite dish of Hanoians that takes some time to make, but it
is totally worth the wait when the lady steams the rice batter, rolls them into sheets with cooked seasoned
ground pork, adds dried onions, and brings it to your table. It's simple, but incredibly satisfying.
If you are too busy in the morning, try the cheap and delicious p©tä with breads, sticky rice with fried eggs,
mungbean sticky rice, or 'x´i khÛc' (stuffed sticky rice) for a quick breakfast on the go.
Hanoi in the morning is probably at its most mesmerizing with different smells of food inviting you to sit
down and order some of the most amazing breakfast dishes while the rest of the world still slowly wakes.
It's a rare glimpse of a calmer, simpler, more tranquil Hanoi.

Seaview 180 SV2 Snorkling Mask
For those who love to snorkel and enjoy the beauty of the
ocean, the Seaview 180 SV2 snorkling mask is a must-buy.
The full face snorkling mask sports a wide field of vision, an
action camera mount, and two separate breathing chambers to
reduce fogging and let you breathe easier.
The particularly large lens is designed to provide a 180-degree
view of the ocean, and the mask features a separate breathing
chamber with twice the ventilation of most other full-face
designed masks to maximize fresh air flow and reduce fogging.
A durable silicone insert forms a watertight seal around
your face, and if any water does slip past the defenses, it
automatically drains out via the one-way chin valve when you
lift the head out of the water. The Seaview 180 SV2 mask also
sports a removable mount for action cameras on the side to
help you take incredible underwater videos.
The snorkling mask is priced at around
2,000,000 VND.
Trakdot Luggage Tracker
To prevent your luggage from getting lost when you travel,
get a Trakdot Luggage Tracker to give you that much needed
peace of mind. The tracker is equipped with an internal GSM
chip to emit signals when your luggage is near you. When
your luggage is 9 meters away from you, Trakdot warns you
by sending a notification to your phone or tablet. Available on
iOS and Android.
The tracker can be purchased on Amazon at about
900,000 VND.

Bell Tent
Camping and Glamping (glamor camping) are the two hotest
travel trends where one experiences being close to nature
yet with added convenience and luxurious services. For
families to fully enjoy this experience, you will need a 5 m
wide Bell Tent that can cover an area of 25 m 2 .
Bell tents are usualy made of canvas or oxfort canvas with
UV resistance, water resistant and fire resistance. Unlike
normal tents, the bell tents feature a high roof (3 m) to
create a larger space inside the tent for a roomy feel. With
bell tents, users can decorate both the interior and exterior
of the tent to make a fun living space for the whole family.
The tent is priced at around 10,000,000 VND.

GENERAL NEWS
Cao Bang
The Advisory Council of the
Global Network of Geoparks of
the United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO) has
recently recognized the Cao
Bang Geopark in Vietnam as
the World Natural Heritage or
Global Geopark. The Cao Bang
Global Geopark is a rare area
where the Earth's history of
500 million years can be traced
through fossils, sediments,
volcanic rocks, and minerals.
The limestone landscapes are
excellent evidences of the
evolution and change of the
Earth. This is Vietnam's second
global geopark with the first
being Dong Van Karst Plateau
(Ha Giang Province) which was
recognized by UNESCO in 2010.
BRG Danang Golf Resort
The BRG Danang Golf Resort
has opened a new stunning
course in classic sand dune style
designed by the world’s leading
golf course architects Nicklaus
Design. Perfectly harmonizing
with the existing Greg Norman's
18-hole course, the new
Nicklaus course promises to
bring a completely different golf
experience for golfers due to
the wooden bulkheads that line
many of the Tees, Fairways, and
Greens. This new feature is the
first ever in Asia, and will blend
with Danang's smooth white
sand beaches to offer players a
unique golf experience.
Air Seoul
South Korea's low cost carrier
Air Seoul is launching a new
route to Vietnam’s Danang
in May. The new route aims
to expand its services in the
Asia-Pacific region. Air Seoul
spokesman said the first flight
will be taking off on May 18,
using the A321 aircraft with 195
seats.
L'Espace
The French Ambassador to
Vietnam Bertrand Lortholary
and President of the Hanoi
University of Architecture Le
Quan have recently opened
a new branch of the French
Cultural Center L’Espace in
Ha Dong. The cooperation
between the French Cultural
Center in Vietnam and the
domestic university partner is
a powerful symbol for the 45th
anniversary of the establishment
of diplomatic relations between
Vietnam and France. The
L'Espace Ha Dong welcomed 80
students for its course and will
become a new French language
center at many universities and
educational facilities in Hanoi.
Huawei Nova 3e
The Huawei Consumer Business
Group has introduced the new
Huawei Nova 3e in Vietnam.
With the Nova catering
especially to trendy young
consumers, the Huawei Nova 3e
features an elegant design along
with powerful performance and
outstanding value.This stylish
mid-range smartphone comes
in two color choices: Klein Blue
and Midnight Black. The Huawie
Nove 3e runs Android 8.0,
features a display 2.0 with 19:9
aspect ratio with Notch Design,
and is equipped with 16MP front
camera and 16MP + 2MP dual
camera setup with integrated
natural beauty algorithm for vivid
and true to details shots. The
Huawei Nova 3e supports 9V/2A
high voltage fast charging, which
reduces charging time by 30%,
coupled with a 15-layer security
net protection system. The
device also features 4GB RAM
and 64GB internal memory,
allowing users to play games,
listen to music, and watch videos
without worrying about memory
or storage limitations.
Suzuki GSX-R150
The GSX-150R is a small sport
bike model that is easy to drive
and is equipped with a powerful
engine, modern features, and
has an acceptable price. Among
bikes in the same range, the
GSX-R150 is ideal for young
motorcycle beginners with
less experience in the game.
The GSX-R150 features a high
aerodynamic design with a headturning
back lamp. The rider’s
forward position is just right
to create a sporty feel, but also
pleasant enough to drive on the
streets. A major hightlight of the
GSX-R150 Special Edition is its
unique sporty paint scheme.
Available for sale at Suzuki
dealers at a suggested retail
price of 76,900,000 VND
including VAT. For more details,
contact hotline 1900 6950.
Crescent Mall
The recent Travel Fair at
the Crescent Mall offered
unique and exciting shopping
experiences for travelers. At
the fair, visitors were able to
purchase numerous travel items
for their upcoming trips, and
immerse in a shopping paradise
that sold items from prestigious
brands such as Samsonite, Travel
Zone, and Coleman. In addition,
visitors also had access to a
number of tours, airfare, and
luxurious hotel rooms for an
affordable price.
Bamboo Airways
The Bamboo Airways’ brand
identity recognizes the stylized
bamboo as their main theme,
incorporating a logo depicting
the tail of the aircraft and using
blue as the color of the sea and
the sky. This brand identity is
designed by leading Japanese
brand design company LIFT
Strategic Design, who designed
a number of well-known airlines
around the world such as China
Airlines, Philippines Airlines, and
Oasis Hong Kong Airlines. The
airline is set to begin operations
later this year with 10 aircrafts
on lease before receiving 24 of
their own A321 NEO aircrafts
in 2021.
Alba Wellness Resort
The Alba Wellness Resort which was
launched in mid-April, is the first resort
in Hue featuring an outstanding multifunctional
facility. The 5-star resort offers
guests the chance to learn more about the
local culture, retreat, relax among nature,
and rejuvenate the body by taking part in
holistic Onsen bath rituals, meditation,
yoga, and spa therapy. Surrounded by lush
forests, natural hot springs and bamboolined
paths, the Alba Wellness Resort
features 56 hotel rooms and bungalows
in two separate areas: Alba Inn and Alba
Village. With an area covering 1.7 hectare,

Firstly held in 1778, the Genzano Infiorata Flower
Festival and the celebration of the Eucharist have
become the most famous religious, historical,
and folklore-based event in Italy. People from
everywhere flock to the Via Belardi Road that
leads to the Church of Santa Maria della Cima
to admire amazing flower beds designed as
art works. On the last day of the festival, local
students are allowed to run over the flower beds
to clear them as a ritual to end the festival.
