 The forgotten paradise of Sung La
In life sometimes you have visited somewhere before and think there is no need for a second visit but I took a gamble and made a return journey to Sung La, a small village in Ha Giang Province and it was to prove the right decision.
Sung La, which is on the road leading to the northern most point at the border of Vietnam and China, is located down a valley, on the national road 4C connecting two of the most famous tourist spots of the province: Dong Van town and the house of Vuong Chinh Duc, who was King of the minority people in Ha Giang. The beautiful village is home to H’Mong people, one of the most populous minority groups in the country. Villagers can speak Chinese in addition to their native language. |

There is scorching sun on summer time. So it is the good occasion for visitors to come to the sea. La Gi town has a coastline of more than 28 kilometers and it is located near Vung Tau and Saigon. It also has plentiful of beautiful beaches and seafood, so visitors can easily find a destination for their short vacation on weekends.
Cam Binh beach is still pristine and rustic, but it has become a tourism trade- mark of La Gi town for a long time. Cam Binh beach is located in Tan Phuoc commune, about 5 km from the center of La Gi town, and only 2 km from the national highway 55 to the East. Coming to Cam Binh, visitors can immerse themselves into the waves, see hundreds of coracles landing every morning with fresh seafood such as silver sillago, bumalo, squid, crab, snail …. Visitors can buy these special foods, cook by themselves and enjoy together with their family and friends. They can spread out some canvas sheets under the canopies of casuarina trees to carouse together until the sunset comes. Cam Binh is also the place where visitors discover the fishermen’s life to find many interesting things, feel the hardship after hard struggle with the wind and waves, listen to stories of people who have strong attachment to the coracles all their lives with a lot of sadness, happiness and hardship. Coming to Cam Binh beach, visitors seem to soak themselves in the cool sea breeze. This tourism destination always bring people a very comfortable and friendly experience. |

 Ancient palace in Hue to be rebuilt
Japan's Waseda University and the Hue Monuments Conservation Centre have completed work on a scaled down replica of Hue Citadel's Can Chanh Palace.
The wooden model will assist in the rebuilding of the palace, which was originally built in 1804 under the reign of King Gia Long before it collapsed during the war in 1947.
Japan provided nearly US$10 million to build the wooden replica of the palace, which is scaled down to a ratio of 1:10.
The project is part of a program that begun in 1998 to research and preserve the historical and cultural heritage of the former royal capital city of Hue.
To work on the preservation of the palace, experts from Vietnam and Japan have to rely on political and historical documents dating back to the Nguyen dynasty, while also using black and white photos taken in early 20th century and measurements of the remaining palace foundations.
They also had to research the construction techniques used to build the palace and interview traditional artisans and elderly people who saw the actual palace before it was destroyed.
Phan Thanh Hai, the Hue Monuments Conservation Centre's director, said the project was of great importance to the city.

 Destination management for 8 northern highland provinces
The EU-funded Environmentally and Socially Responsible Tourism (ESRT) Programme is supporting the 8 Northern Highland Provinces Dien Bien, Hoa Binh, Lai Chau, Lao Cai, Phu Tho, Son La, Yen Bai and Ha Giang in their efforts of collaboration for tourism development.
Tourism has emerged as an important instrument for sustainable development including poverty alleviation and employment generation apart from promoting social integration and international understanding. It is accorded a high development priority in Vietnam. The responsible use of natural resources, the potentials of the cultural heritage, the attractiveness of the overall product and international competitiveness are the factors which will decide on employment and prosperity.
Today’s travellers have a completely different motivation structure, as it was the case years ago. The search of an outstanding tourism experience, growing demands on the infrastructure and greater attention to soft factors, such as services, ambience, atmosphere and hospitality require continuous improvements of the local tourism product by service providers within the tourism value chain in the destination. |
