Festival highlights beautiful pink grass hills in Vietnam’s Central Highlands
Monday, November 18, 2019, 17:35 GMT+7
Authorities in the Central Highlands province of Lam Dong have kick-started the 2019 Lang Biang Pink Grass Festival as pink grass once again takes over vast portions of local hills in Lac Duong District, creating an other-worldly scene.
As the rainy season comes to an end in Lam Dong and the dry season begins, the low temperature creates an ideal condition for a new generation of pink grass to engulf hilltops throughout several locations in the Dan Kia Lake – Golden Stream area.

Businesses on wheels in Vietnam
Sunday, November 24, 2019, 10:07 GMT+7 Tuoi Tre
A while back I wrote about all the activities routinely taking place on sidewalks, preparing travellers to cope with the endless commotion that turns a relaxing stroll into a game of hopscotch and a mad dash down the gauntlet (Read here).One example of the clutter is a cafe that uses the sidewalk to wash and dry dishes, prepare vegetables, store mops, garbage, brooms, and write letters to faraway relatives. I reported they have everything but the kitchen sink out on the sidewalk (an expression meaning a lot of items), then later realized the kitchen sink is right there too, in the midst of the hubbub!

Introducing Bach Long Vi island in northern Vietnam
Saturday, November 23, 2019, 15:39 GMT+7 Tuoi Tre
Bach Long Vi, or “White Dragon’s Tail,” is an island district about 130 kilometers off the northern coastal city of Hai Phong and Vietnam’s furthest territory in the Gulf of Tonkin.
Though the island’s acreage is small, only about 2.5 square kilometers during high tide and four square kilometers during low tide, Bach Long Vi still boasts an impressive combination of golden-yellow sandy beaches and mountains, making it the ideal place to admire gorgeous coastal sunrises and sunsets.
Getting to the island can be a little tricky. It takes up to ten hours to travel from Hai Phong to Bach Long Vi and the 100-seat boat which travels the route only operates three to four times a month.
Vietnam macaque island draws tourists – and criticism
Monkeys cling to a tourist at Monkey Island in Nha Trang, central Vietnam. There are about 1,200 macaques on the small island, where vaccine experiments were once carried out by Soviet scientists before it was transformed into a tourist attraction in the 1990s. NHAC NGUYEN/afp
Menacing macaques snatch bags of crisps, water bottles, cookies and crackers from uneasy tourists on Vietnam’s Monkey Island, a popular attraction decried as cruel by activists calling for an end to animal tourism in Southeast Asia.
Tourists are encouraged to show the monkeys their empty hands if they don’t want to be accosted by the aggressive macaques, who routinely steal snacks, hats, and even mobile phones from visitors, who nervously laugh and snap pictures.
“They grabbed my biscuits and climbed on my body,” Dinh Thi Hoa said on the small island in Nha Phu bay in south-central Vietnam. Tiếp tục đọc “Vietnam macaque island draws tourists – and criticism”

Sơn Trà, Mã Pì Lèng và sự nhân danh ‘du lịch sinh thái’ để tàn phá
zing – 19-10-2019
Chưa bao giờ khó tìm được những chỗ du lịch sinh thái đúng nghĩa như bây giờ. Nhiều dự án mang danh “du lịch sinh thái” nhưng kết quả là phá tan hoang môi trường.
Ông Trịnh Lê Nguyên là Giám đốc Trung tâm Con người và Thiên nhiên (PanNature) – tổ chức phi lợi nhuận Việt Nam hoạt động trong lĩnh vực bảo tồn thiên nhiên và bảo vệ môi trường.
Bảo vệ môi trường, bảo tồn thiên nhiên, hỗ trợ phát triển sinh kế cho cộng đồng. Và kết quả? Môi trường tan hoang, hệ sinh thái bị đảo lộn, người dân bản địa vẫn đứng ngoài những “lợi ích” dự án cam kết mang lại.
“Du lịch sinh thái” đang được quảng bá bởi nhiều doanh nghiệp, địa phương với hàng loạt dự án quy mô, đầu tư lớn. Nhưng dường như càng khuếch trương, càng cố thu hút nhiều du khách thì loại hình du lịch này càng đi ngược lại với những gì mà nó thực sự hướng đến.

Mekong Delta at its beautiful best during flood season
VNE – By Huynh Phuong September 29, 2019 | 12:40 pm GMT+7
Photographer Pham Huy Trung went to the Mekong Delta during the annual flooding season, and these are what caught his eye.
Unlike in central Vietnam where severe floods often result in death and destruction, the flooding season in the Mekong Delta is seen as a gift from heaven that brings tons of fish into the paddy fields along with alluvial deposits to fertilize the next crop. It usually lasts from July until the end of November.

Farmers wade into a flooded field in the Mekong Delta province of Dong Thap to harvest water chestnut, an aquatic vegetable that grows in marshes under water. Water chestnut is grown in many countries for its edible corm, and it is a common ingredient in Chinese dishes such as water chestnut cakes. |

A group of farmers in Thanh Đông Village, nestled in the busy suburban tourist destination of Hội An’s Cẩm Thanh Commune, have transformed their land into a healthy organic garden and a favourite rendezvous for nature lovers by moving away from their prolonged use of pesticides and fertiliser.
It was one of the first villages in the suburbs of Hội An that completely stopped using chemical-based nutrients and protective substances, setting the stage for the development of a unique organic agricultural destination. Tiếp tục đọc “Villagers benefit from reviving natural farming practices”
