Introducing Bach Long Vi island in northern Vietnam

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.

>>Fête culturelle et touristique de Muong Lò à Yên Bái
>>Les activités du mois d’octobre au Village culturel et touristique des ethnies du Vietnam
>>Festival de parapente de Mù Cang ChaiLes 23 et 24 novembre, le Musée d’ethnographie du Vietnam (rue Nguyên Van Huyên, arrondissement de Câu Giây), à Hanoï, va organiser un programme de présentation de la musique de l’ethnie Kho Mu vivant dans les provinces de Nghê An (au Centre) et Diên Bien (au Nord-Ouest). Via des représentations de 19 artistes Kho Mu, le public aura l’occasion de découvrir l’originalité des chants, danses et instruments de musique de cette ethnie minoritaire. Il s’agirait d’une bonne occasion de présenter les traits culturels originaux de l’ethnie Kho Mu, contribuant à préserver et valoriser la richesse du patrimoine culturel et artistique du pays. Les instruments de musique Kho Mu – notamment flûte, percussions, orgue à bouche, guimbardes – sont faits en bambou et en d’autres matériaux disponibles dans la nature. Les chants Kho Mu évoquent la nature sauvage dans laquelle ils vivent. Le plus populaire s’appelle Tơm, un chant alterné à la fois rapide, fort et romantique. Mais les Kho Mu aiment aussi danser, pour l’essentiel des danses traditionnelles et danse Sap (danse au bambou).

HCM CITY — The central province of Ninh Thuận has seen a boom in renewable energy projects, especially solar power, but power transmission lines in the province have failed to handle the capacity, experts have said.

A number of solar and wind projects in the province have been developed after preferential incentives on prices for renewable power were issued, according to the Ministry of Industry and Trade. Many renewable energy projects, however, cannot operate at full capacity.

Vietnam’s central city Da Nang has dismissed environmental concerns raised by a Singaporean consultant and is pushing ahead with plans to build a new port.

At a meeting with voters on Tuesday, city Chairman Huynh Duc Tho confirmed that the Lien Chieu Port would be built in Da Nang Bay.

The 220-hectare, VND32.86 trillion ($1.42 billion) port, expected to spearhead Da Nang’s logistics development, will be built below Hai Van Pass in central Vietnam.

Lien Chieu will function as a gateway for cargo while Tien Sa, currently the only port in the city, will become a tourism port.

Hong Kong’s protests present Beijing with a no-win situation. Will it choose the path where it loses the least?

  • Being dependent on international goodwill to maintain trade, it’s in Beijing’s interests to handle Hong Kong with patience. But with leaders stoking nationalism, they may be tempted to deal with protesters decisively, to bolster legitimacy at home

The past week has seen worrying new levels of violence and destruction in Hong Kong as battles between the police and protesters erupted in numerous locations. Despite Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor backing down from the original extradition bill, protesters have not only continued to demonstrate but seem to be radicalising.

The current state of Hong Kong – a city seemingly on the verge of widespread  civil collapse – presents a massive challenge for Beijing for a number of reasons.
First, there is the immediate problem of how to return Hong Kong to a state of relative normality. The city has been a jewel in Beijing’s crown: an internationally reputable financial hub which acted as  a gateway between the Western world and China. But, since the onset of the protests – and particularly in recent weeks with the escalation of clashes – it is possible that Hong Kong’s days as an international laissez-faire “tiger” are numbered.
