<span style="color: #073763;">Pho (noodle soup) might be Vietnam’s most famous dish, but there are plenty of siblings of the world-famous delicacy worth slurping down.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">One such dish is cốn sủi, which literally means dry food in sauce, is a must-try delicacy of Sa Pa Town, the northern province of Lao Cai. Local people also call it pho khan (dry noodles) to differentiate it from its more famous relative.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Instead of soup (or broth), the noodles are served with sauce, just enough to make the noodle strands shiny and soaked in spices and toppings.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">The dish originated in China, which borders Lao Cai and in one bite of cốn sủi, you can feel the chewy taste of noodle strands, the crunchy peanuts, the sweet char siu porki and the crispness of fried sweet potatoes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">The sauce gathers sour, spicy, hot, salty and sweet flavours brilliantly.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">My friend, Nguyen Hoang Lan said cốn sủi is her favourite dish for breakfast in Sa Pa. As a tourist, she tried to discover all the delicacies of Sa Pa. Beside salmon, dried buffalo meat, grilled food and colourful sticky rice, Lan loves cốn sủi and recommended that tourists should go to Quan Ong Ha, 591 Dien Bien Phu Street, Sa Pa, to try the dish.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">The dish contains char siu pork sliced into threads, a quarter of a boiled egg, fried strands of sweet potatoes and many kinds of herbs and is topped with roasted peanuts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">“It sounds complicated but also sophisticated, only a small piece of boiled egg to create a highlight for the dish and make us desire more. Purple, yellow and orange threads of sweet potatoes paint the bowl colourful.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Lan stressed that each ingredient can be compared with a musical note to make a wonderful symphony. “I believe what makes the success of this dish is its gelatinous sauce which has the impressive scent of black cardamom and cinnamon,” she said.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">“The sauce is made from the broth of pig bones cooked for hours. Mixing the spices to make the harmony and balance for the sauce is an art of the chef.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">When a customer makes an order, the seller pours the hot sauce into the bowl, completing the cốn sủi, perfect for soothing the stomach and soul in the chill of Sa Pa Town.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">“I can’t ask for more, white noodles, green herbs, pink char siu, purple, yellow and orange sweet potatoes, red chili, brown peanuts; together they create a brilliant painting,” said Lan.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Sa Pa is covered by fog at dawn. The sun hides behind mountain peaks and forests and a bowl of hot cốn sủi is the perfect start to a crisp day. The charming scent and warmth of the dish is enough to make one go into ecstasy, waking up all the senses.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">The dish has become a beautiful memory of Sa Pa and someone talks to me about cuốn sủi, the taste of the dish seems still linger on my lips.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Writer Tong Ngoc Han, a resident in Sa Pa Town, said the dish is popular, delicious and not expensive.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">“The taste is very special, it wins people’s hearts even for someone who has never tried it before,” said Han. “Cốn sủi is one among significant delicacies of Lao Cai Province, though I love it so much, I have never tried to make it at home because making the sauce is very complicated and requires a special secret recipe,” she said.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">“The dish originates from China but the Chinese version is hotter than the one served in Lao Cai. The Vietnamese chefs reduce the amount of chilli to suit local people’s taste.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">The waiter at Quan Ong Ha said the restaurant receives many domestic and foreign tourists. The secret recipe is passed down from generation to generation, seven up to now. It’s easy to understand why it’s the most popular restaurant to enjoy cuốn sủi in Sa Pa.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Apart from cốn sủi, gourmands can also order wonton noodle and jiaozi (Chinese dumplings). <a href="http://sapatoursfromhanoi.com/sapa-trekking-tours-from-hanoi/">Sapa travel</a> do not forget to enjoy this unique dish to see the interesting difference between Pho in Sapa and Pho Hanoi.</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">Backpacking tourism has become thriving in Vietnam and <a href="http://sapatoursfromhanoi.com/sapa-trekking-tours-from-hanoi/">trekking</a> activities to conquer mountains have drawn much interest from young adventure lovers. Lao Than Mount in Y Ty commune, Lao Cai province, is one of the most checked-in summits by backpackers where they can bathe their eyes in seas of cloud.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">When it is seen from a distance, Lao Than catches the eye of visitors with a triangular monument, which is situated on its peak. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Located in Phin Ho village, Y Ty district, Lao Cai province, at a height of 2,860 metres above sea level, Lao Than is considered as the roof of Y Ty border commune. It is known as Hau Pong Sam mountain among the local H’mong ethnic community. It is also named Nhiu Co San Bo (Nhiu Co San – The Father) in order to distinguish it from the mount Nhiu Co San Me (Nhiu Co San – The Mother), which stands on the opposite site of the former.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">It is around 7 kilometres from the mountain’s foot to the centre of Y Ty commune. It is not a tough challenge to conquer the mount, during which trekkers have to tackle the climb in a 16 kilometre-long hike (round trip). Therefore, a physically strong backpacker would be able to set their footprint on the peak within only three or four hours and finish the journey within one day. However, most of them prefer an itinerary of 2 days 1 night for their trek so that they spend a night at the peak so as to admire the captivating sunrise and bathe in a sea of clouds on the peak in the early morning the following day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">The hardest part of the adventure lies in the final stage from the camping area where backpackers stop for their night’s sleep to the peak of Lao Than, as the climb is steep, strenuous and full of bushes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">H’mong people are on their way to Lao Than peak to collect red cardamom, an indigenous plant which is used medicinally and also in cooking. H’mong people have a habitat to live in the high mountainous and remote regions and Y Ty is considered as a land of abundant sources of cardamom in Lao Cai.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">There are plenty of beautiful places during the climb where hikers can take great photos and check-in.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">On clear-sky days, by standing on the top of Lao Than, one can enjoy stunning scenery with a view of Nhiu Co San Me, Bach Moc Luong Tu, and even the iconic Fansipan mounts on the opposite side.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">If backpackers visit the mount in autumn, they can admire the amazing Den Sang valley of terrace rice fields which are turning yellow during the harvest season.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">A kind of wild flower growing on the way to the summit, where the atmosphere is so pure for the growth of many unnamed beautiful trees and flowers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">A golden moment of sunrise on the top of Lao Than mount. It is the most expected and highly rewarding moment of the adventure, as hikers have to wake up at 4 a.m., taking on a 45-minute climb in the darkness and windy cold to catch the scene.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Chasing the cloud is the ultimate goal of backpackers at the adventure. Standing on a cliff and being surrounded by a bank of clouds, it is really a touch-of-heaven experience.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">A group of youngsters check in in front of the triangular monument on the peak of Lao Than. Concurrently, there are many tourist agencies providing tours to conquer the mount. Otherwise, backpackers can design their own plan with the support of local porters, who can be found in the centre of Y Ty commune under the mountain foot in Phin Ho commune. All they need to prepare is necessities for the trip, including water, shoes, gloves, flashlight and a portable charger.</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">Northeastern Vietnam is vast so getting from one town or sight to the next can easily take you several hours. Trips are also stretched due to tight, winding mountain roads which would make it unsafe to travel too fast. But to be honest, part of the fun of exploring Vietnam’s northeastern provinces is seeing the breathtaking landscapes change in front of you as you slowly move over mountains and through valleys.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Getting to Ba Be National Park is quite straightforward, thanks to Mr. Linh’s Adventures, a small local tour operator. He runs a daily bus from his office at 83 Ma May Street (7:30 AM) or from the Hanoi Opera House at 1 Trang Tien Street (8:00 AM). After the five-hour ride, you reach Ba Be National Park or you can choose to get off at one of the other stops including the boat station, Pac Ngoi village, Bo Lu village, Coc Toc village or the Ba Be Tourism Center. A one-way ticket on the comfortable A/C bus will cost you 15 USD.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Since you still have half a day left, you can easily do some exploring after dropping off your bags at your homestay. With the help of a local guide, you can get out for an afternoon trek along the shores of Ba Be Lake. There you will likely come across beautiful ethnic minority villages and have the chance to visit with some of the residents and experience their quiet way of life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">After your trek, make your way back to town and spend time visiting with your homestay host. Maybe you can help to make dinner or simply ask questions about their life out in one of Vietnam’s most scenic areas. Chances are, they will happily tell you stories and anecdotes and proudly share their family history with you, of course over a few glasses of the famous local rice wine.</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">Hopefully you had a good rest because on your second day at Ba Be Lake you’ll get out there and see more of the beautiful countryside. Start your morning off with some yummy breakfast at your homestay before making your way to Ba Be Lake for a boat tour. As you cruise around the lake you’ll see people from the Tay community fishing and probably encounter a wealth of wildlife. Keep your eyes open for beautiful butterflies, rare birds and more!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">What makes Ba Be Lake so special, is that the crystal-clear waters and scenic views are really just half the fun. As you move along, you will soon come across Puong Cave where impressive stalactites and stalagmites await. The beautiful cave is home to a huge colony of bats, so keep a lookout and you’ll be sure to spot some of them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Once you get back to the boat station, it’s time to catch a ride to your next stop, Thon Tha village in Ha Giang province. This is another far ride, so you’ll be able to rest from your early morning excursion while enjoying the beautiful views.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">This leg of the trip can be a bit difficult to do with public transport, so if you want to save time and effort, the best way to go is with a private driver. This can often be arranged by local operators while you’re still in Hanoi. If you are traveling on a budget, see if there are other travelers around who want to share a car or van, so you can split the fare.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">As you reach Thon Tha village, you will probably feel hungry and tired. If you’ve booked a great homestay, you will be perfectly taken care of by your hosts and have a delicious dinner and a comfortable bed waiting for you.</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">Rise and shine in the early morning to make the most of your day. Start off with a tasty breakfast with your hosts before you head off on a full-day trek around Thon Tha Village. You will need a local guide when you explore this area so in order to be fully prepared, pre-book your guided trek online.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">There are a number of operators who pride themselves on their collaboration with members of the local minority groups and offer great off-the-beaten-path experiences. One of them is Ha Giang Responsible Tourism. This is a team of local guides ready to show you their home region and take you to all the best spots.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Your trek will start off with a walk along the endless rice terraces and past several villages which are home to the Tay people, the same community which also lives in Thon Tha village. As you move on, you will pass majestic bamboo forests and endless views of the remarkable countryside. To keep you going, grab some lunch in one of the villages you pass through or bring your own food for a picnic. If you have the option, ask your guide to take you to Ha Thanh village, a remote hamlet known for its beautiful waterfall. Maybe it’s time for a refreshing dip before you head back?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">When you arrive back in Thon Tha village, it’s time for another dinner with your host. If you return early, maybe you can help!</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">Before you head out for another day of scenic views and visits to several ethnic minority villages, stop by Thon Tha market. Here you can stock up on snacks and you’ll also have a chance to meet members of various tribes. Of course, this includes a lot of fruits and vegetables, but you’ll also see many beautiful handicrafts. If you need any more souvenirs, this is your chance!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Now that you’re ready to get back on the road, it’s time to set off towards Dong Van. As you drive you’ll come across countless scenic spots which will all but force you to take a break and take in the view. Make sure your camera is fully charged so you can capture some of the breathtaking beauty of nature all around you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Just before reaching Dong Van, you’ll stop in Sa Phin town to visit the palace of a Hmong king. It was built in the 1920s by Vuong Chinh Duc who was the self-proclaimed king of the Hmong people and had amassed considerable wealth and influence by working closely with the French. Today, Vuong Chinh Duc’s descendants have turned the palace into a museum exhibiting artifacts used in day-to-day life during this time and the story of how he built his legacy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">Today is all about the journey! After an early start and a trip to Dong Van’s market for some breakfast and snacks, you’re off to Cao Bang. This drive is nothing short of spectacular. As you make your way along winding roads, around hills and through valleys, the fresh countryside without much human intervention will take your breath away.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Your trip will lead you first to Pu Lo fortress, an abandoned French stronghold. It was built in 1890 and only used until 1945 but its ruins remain to this day. It’s only a short climb to get to the top and the views from there are amazing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Our next stop is Meo Vac, a small town in the hills which is set just before the highlight of today’s drive, the Ma Pi Leng Pass. You will cross this pass on the so-called ‘Happiness Road’ which was built after Northeastern Vietnam was liberated. It took six years and the help of countless volunteers to complete. Now it connects some of the remotest areas in northeastern Vietnam.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">While the road itself is in good condition, its steep drops and tight curves make it a challenge even for experienced drivers. It’s not for nothing that in the Hmong language the name ‘Ma Pi Leng’ means that even horses get scared when crossing this pass. After the Ma Pi Leng Pass, we continue along scenic mountain roads until we reach Cao Bang where you can sit back and relax at your hotel or homestay.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">A note on driving: To navigate this wonderful yet dangerous pass, you must be an experienced driver. If your plan is to rent your own motorbike and drive, we recommend it if you’ve driven on steep, curvy mountain roads before and are comfortable with it. If you’re not that good on a bike and don’t want to hire a private car, you can book a trip with a local operator to take you from A to B on the back of their bike. That way you get the amazing feeling of experiencing northeastern Vietnam on a bike all while staying safe and having the chance to enjoy the view.</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">Today it’s time for yet another highlight: waterfalls and caves unlike any you’ve ever seen before. Only a two-hour drive from Cao Bang, you can easily reach the caves. From 5:30 AM you’ll find busses departing hourly from the city’s main station. Make sure you check exactly when the bus goes back to Cao Bang, so you don’t end up stranded!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Nguom Ngao cave will amaze you! As one of the largest caves in Vietnam, it draws a lot of curious visitors, all coming to see the mysterious-looking stalactites and stalagmites which have been growing inside the cave for millennia. While the cave stretches on for about four kilometers, visitors only have access to the first kilometer. This still gives you the chance to go deep into the cave, explore its many nooks and crannies and marvel at the effects of the recently installed modern lighting structures.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Just a few kilometers from the cave, you’ll find the famed Ban Gioc waterfall. The first thing to do when you get there is get your police permit at the little station right next to the waterfall. It costs around 200,000 VND and you need to show your passport to receive it. This step is necessary because the waterfalls mark the border with China and the authorities want to keep a close eye on visitors.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Once you have your permit, head towards the lake at the foot of the falls and hire a boat to take you out onto the water. The short tour should cost you around 100,000 VND and take you right up to the waterfalls. If you want, you can even go for a swim in the cool lake. Be sure to follow your guide’s advice on where to swim. It’s not permitted in the river or close to the waterfall, so as long as you stay in the main pool you will be fine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">After visiting these two spectacular sights, it’s time to head on to your next stop, Lang Son. If you’re going by private driver, you can go from the waterfall directly. If you want to take public transport, it might be better to head back to Cao Bang first to catch a bus to Lang Son from there. The ride is quite long, so you’ll have plenty of time to relax, enjoy the view and go through some of those beautiful photos you took earlier today.</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">On your last day, it’s time to explore a city which most travelers skip. While Lang Son is a remote, small town, it has great strategic importance since it’s set right on the border with China. It’s also in a beautiful area of Vietnam so you’ll get to enjoy the wonderful countryside once more before you head back to Hanoi.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">You can start your day by visiting the Ky Lua market if you’re in town on the second or seventh day of every lunar month. Here you’ll see people from many different ethnic minorities come together, dressed in their colorful traditional garb, to sell their goods. If you still have space in your bag for a beautiful souvenir or two, this is where to shop!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Next, you can visit the Tam Thanh pagoda and the Nhi Thanh cave which is located right below it. The 500-meter cave has countless spectacular stalactites and reminds visitors of Halong Bay’s Surprise cave. On the west end of the city, Thanh Nha Mac hill is home to ruins of an old military base and offers a great view of the city and surrounding valley. Here could be a good stop for a picnic lunch before you set out for more exploration in the afternoon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">If you’re up for the drive, rent a motorbike and head to Mau Son mountain, 30 kilometers away from Lang Son. At 1,600 meters above sea level, this area is unique in that it often gets snow in the winter. Whatever time of year you travel there, bring a jacket as it can get chilly on the mountain. The views are worth it though. You’ll see countless stone houses built by the French during colonization as well as gently rolling hills covered in lush forests and green fields.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">In the evening, make sure you are back in town on time to catch the night bus to Hanoi. To ensure you get a seat, book your tickets in advance. You can do this the day before at the bus terminal or online. For a good night’s sleep, book the VIP bus which comes with a comfortable berth where you can recline properly and get some real shuteye.</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">One of my most highly recommended travel experiences is to visit a local market. So of course, when I went to <a href="http://sapatoursfromhanoi.com/northwest-northeast-vietnam-tours/">the Northern highlands of Vietnam</a>, I took my own advice. At the Bắc Hà, Sunday Market, located in a rural district of Lào Cai Province in the Northeast region of Vietnam, the smells of humanity, roasting mystery stew, moped exhaust, and dust combine heavily in the air. </span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">All the villagers have come to sell, buy, eat, and - most importantly - socialize. The women wear the most astoundingly beautiful dresses, hand embroidered in bright pinks, oranges, blues, and reds, depending on the Hmong tribe they belong to. It takes three to five months to embroider one dress by hand. The honking of horns and the crush of the crowd make it difficult to barter, so after purchasing four handkerchiefs in the most surprising array of neon plaid, I resort to people watching instead.</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">There is something so humanizing about seeing people in their most mundane element - at the grocery store. There is a sense of intimacy when you are witnessing someone bargaining for supper. In this case, pig head. Or buying tools. Handkerchiefs. Brooms. Herbs. There is courting happening, grannies chatting, mommies wearing babies while they exclaim over tablecloths, and daddies smoking and telling jokes. </span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">You can tell that this is the way it has been done here for a thousand years - except without the mopeds and plastic, of course. I am sad that I don’t speak the language so that I can find out about Bao’s plentiful crop this year or how Cam is doing in school or the best way to cook tender liver. I am also sad when we have to leave the bustle behind and catch the bus to travel on to our next destination…</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">The distance from Hanoi to Halong Bay is around 180km and generally takes around 3 1/2 to 4 hours each way, depending on traffic. On the way, you’ll have a half-time/pee break at a souvenir store selling all kinds of products directly aimed at tourists. You’re under no obligation to buy anything so feel free to breeze on through, use the toilet and get back on the bus.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">When is the best time to visit Halong Bay really depends on your own definition of a perfect trip. If you are most concerned about weather, then the periods September – November and March – May are ideal for a trip to Halong Bay. The dry climate and pleasant temperature will enable you to enjoy all activities offered on board while making sightseeing as perfect as it could be.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Okay, so you may be thinking, ‘What am I going to do? Just sit on a boat and stare out into the distance for three days?’ You’ll be pleased to know there are loads of activities to enjoy while you’re out there, what they are, specifically, will depend on the cruise you end up booking. On the cruises I’ve done activities included kayaking, visiting Thien Canh Son Cave, cooking classes, tai chi, karaoke, live music, Vung Vieng Fishing Village, day trips on a smaller boat to hidden coves for swimming, stand-up paddle boarding and visits to Teapot Island or Monkey Island.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">In addition to Ha Long Bay, famous tourist destinations in the world are also among the most beautiful natural wonders in the world such as: Stone Forest (China), Dead Sea (Israel and Jordan), Lake Hillier (Australia), Caño River Cristales (Colombia), Waitomo Glowworm cave (New Zealand), Salar de Uyuni (Bolivia), Masazir lake (Azerbaijan), Verdon canyon (France), ...</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">The travel search engine suggested that you can trek around Sapa village, soaking in the culture, lifestyle and natural beauty of this town in winter to feel fresh like new, like having recharged the battery of your life. There’s cable car you can ride to the summit of Fansipan Mountain. To top it all off, take pretty photos of the spectacular European style architecture on the lake in the center of the town.</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">There is nowhere in Vietnam that so many types of sticky rice - or “xoi” present like they do in Hanoi. But standing out among the various kinds, “xoi xeo” is not only creative art with a sophisticated combination of ingredients and color but the sophistication even leaks out to its odd name.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Amazingly attractive with its bright yellow color, “xoi xeo” is sold in every wet market or may even be right on the street corner early in the morning. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">The seller keeps “xoi xeo” warm in a bamboo basket which is carried on the shoulder or fastened behind the bicycle. </span><span style="color: #073763;">“Xoi xeo” is a special dish for breakfast, especially with students and manual laborers thanks to its rather low price, its fulfillment and palatability.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">“Xoi xeo” is regarded as one of the hardest-to-cook “xoi”, despite the fact that it is concocted from ingredients which are very popular and familiar with Vietnamese. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">The ingredients for making “xoi xeo” remain the same everywhere: glutinous rice, turmeric powder, mung bean, shallot, and some liquid fat. </span><span style="color: #073763;">The turmeric powder, mixed with water and glutinous rice, will create the natural yellow for the dish. </span><span style="color: #073763;">Mung bean, after being carefully chosen and peeled; is steamed, pummeled and then rolled into small balls. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Travellers are often amazed at the sight of the seller skillfully smashing the balls inside their palms, covering the base with yellow thin layers of bean. </span><span style="color: #073763;">On top of the portion lays brownish crunchy deep fried shallot. </span><span style="color: #073763;">To complete the taste of “xoi xeo”, the seller will add a tablespoon of liquid fat. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">The yellow of the turmeric rice and bean, the brown of shallot, the distinctive green of banana leaf mix and match perfectly, and combine to make an eye-catching “xoi xeo”.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Some people, especially children, like eating “xoi xeo” with a lot of mung bean or fried shallots, while other may enjoy theirs with lot of “ruoc”- smashed and fried salted pork. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">A warm large portion of “xoi xeo”, wrapped in banana leaf and old newspaper, first thing in the morning, which runs for a mere 5000-7000vnd can keep one full until late noon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">In the cold weather, a brazier is used to prevent the oil from being frozen. </span><span style="color: #073763;">“Xoi xeo” is an exceptionally favorite dish in winter because the bright yellow colour and liquid fat make people feel warm and cheerful.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Nobody knows where “xoi xeo” came from and why it has such a weird name “xeo”, as “xeo” is used as an impolite way of telling people to go away in Vietnamese. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Abnormal as it is, “xoi xeo” is still a unique part of <a href="http://www.viettravelmagazine.com/search/label/Vietnamese%20cuisine">Hanoi’s cuisine</a> that is loved by many people, both locals and foreigners.</span></div>

Do you want to challenge yourself?<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Mount Fansipan is the highest mountain in Vietnam and Indochina peninsula, located in the Hoang Lien Son mountain range. It was once only visited by adventure seekers fit enough to make the strenuous hike, but now this mountain offers a few different experiences for all types of travelers. Regardless of the new tram that brings people to the summit of this large peak, you should make the trek to meet travelers, experience adventure, and talk with locals.</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;"><b><i>Climate: When to Go</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">It is very important to research weather and when to visit various places in Vietnam as the rainy season can put a gloomy mood on things. With Mount Fansipan, you will be trekking in part for the gorgeous views of the top and Sapa valley but you won’t see these views if it’s cloudy and rainy. You might also be freezing when you get there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">For the most ideal conditions, make the trek between October and April. During the summer, it can rain and make the trail treacherous even with good hiking shoes. However, December and January can be quite cold, the peak has even seen some snow! If you are in Hanoi and have a flexible schedule, I suggest watching the weather in order to ensure the best experience. Sapa is a far hike in of itself, the trek even longer, so make sure the weather conditions are ideal.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><b><i>Pick What is Best for You</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">There are several options for all types of travelers that allow you to see the beautiful summit of Mount Fansipan. It depends on your desired level of adventure, fitness, and time frame. I will break it down for you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Treks range from one to four days. If you want to complete the trek in one day, you should be ready to go early with your things ready and you should be in good shape. I suggest the two-day, one-night option as it gives you ample time to complete the trek, allows you to converse and connect with fellow hikers and guides, and you can better acclimate to the altitude change. The three-day trek obviously gives you even more time, and if you haven’t exercised in a while or you feel reluctant as to whether the distance is too long, then choose this option.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">There are also three trails that reach the summit, all with different levels of difficulty and distance:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><i>Tram Ton</i>: This is a gradual trail that is most used by tourists, therefore it has the most people. The distance between the beginning point, at about 1,500 meters, and the summit is 11 kilometers. This trail can be accomplished in one day or two days. Keep in mind that while this is the most used trail, it is still physically demanding. Many travelers report taking the tram down because they are too tired to make the trek back. This can also save you some time on your itinerary.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><i>Sin Chai</i>: This trail is shorter but it’s mainly for adventure seekers. It’s treacherous and hikers often report losing the correct path. The distance from beginning to end is about nine kilometers but different guiding groups take different paths. You may need two or three days to complete this trail.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><i>Cat Cat</i>: This is the longest trail but it has the best scenery. The distance from the beginning to the summit is around 20 kilometers. This trail usually takes around three or four days to complete.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">*Do keep in mind that the Sin Chai and Cat Cat trail are considered dangerous.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">You can also choose to do a private or group trek. With a group, you get to make friends, have nightly conversations and entertainment with cool people, and have a social time. A private tour allows you to make your own plans (do you want to wake really early to catch the sunrise at the summit?) and set your own pace.</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">If you don’t like hiking or your budget or body inhibits your adventure level, there is always the cable car option. To some of you, this Fansipan Legend Cable Car may also seem like an adventure since it spans 6,292.5 meters, making it the longest three-rope and non-stop cable car out there. Not only that, it also holds the record for highest elevation gain with 1,410 meters for three-rope cable cars. It sweeps through clouds with views over Muong Hoa Valley, and through the magnificent peaks of Hoang Lien Son Range. You still have to summit Mount Fansipan by walking about 600 stairs to the very peak after you exit the car. A roundtrip ticket costs 600,000 VND. For those of you who can’t decide whether to trek or ride through the clouds, consider both! Hike to the top and then ride the cable car down. Although this is a new modern car, it still provides sleek transportation to a place that used to be accessible only to those who could make the trek. Now every traveler can feel the true grandeur of this Sapa peak.</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">About 300 kilometres northeast of Hanoi, the <a href="http://vietnamtypicaltours.com/tour/ha-giang-rocky-plateau-4-days/">Dong Van Stone Plateau in Ha Giang</a> province is formed by beautiful narrow valleys alternating with rocky mountain ranges which make it an absolute must-see tourist destination in Vietnam.</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">300 kilometers away from Hanoi, Ha Giang is the furthermost province in the North of Vietnam. No dust, no smoke, and no noise, this tranquil land is only comprised of magnificent scenery, challenging mountain passes, and hearty local food. When you come here during buckwheat season which normally occurs from the middle of November to December, the exquisite view will leave you speechless. Since the province is huge, an itinerary is necessary. The <a href="http://vietnamtypicaltours.com/tour/ha-giang-group-tour-4-days-daily-tour/">Ha Giang four-day itinerary</a> below is a typical yet detailed one that can help you discover this land, so enjoy!</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;"><i><b>The First Night: Hanoi – Ha Giang City (300 kilometers)</b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Since Ha Giang is pretty far away from Hanoi, the most common way to get to it is by sleeper bus. There are different kinds of buses in My Dinh bus station that start from the day go until night, but I recommend choosing the night bus on the way there. You can sleep, save money from staying in a hotel overnight, and when you get to Ha Giang in the morning, you can begin your adventure right away. Some buses arrive in Ha Giang early, around 4:30 AM to 5 AM but don’t worry, you can stay on the bus until the sun rises.</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;"><i><b>The First Day: Ha Giang – Quan Ba – Yen Minh – Pho Bang – Sung La – Dong Van (160 kilometers)</b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">A good journey starts with good food. My ultimate breakfast dish in Ha Giang city is banh cuon trung (egg steamed rice rolls) at 100 Nguyen Trai street.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Unlike typical steamed rice rolls that are eaten with pork sausage, pork pie, or batter-dipped shrimp patties, the egg rolls in Ha Giang goes best with a bowl of soup made from pork broth, Vietnamese spices, and sausages. Nibble the incredibly soft egg rolls, munch the scrumptious sausages, then sip a spoonful of the pleasing soup. It will leave you speechless among the chatter of adventure.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">And don’t forget to hire a good bike, because it is the key to the quality of your journey. Your first stop today is the zero-kilometer mark in Ha Giang city which was built as a check-in spot for travelers. Different from typical markers in Vietnam, this marker is really big and fully made of granite. It is around three kilometers from the bus station, which takes you around ten minutes to find. But if you’re not a fan of check-ins, you can skip this place.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Next, let’s get to Co Tien mountain, the most unique and imaginative mountain in this province. It is located in Quan Ba district, about 50 kilometers from Ha Giang city. Nearby is the Heaven Gate, 1,500 meters above sea level. It is totally worth 15 minutes to reach the peak where you can easily view a 360-degree window of Ha Giang. At the foot of the gate, there is a coffee shop that faces the mountains, and I guarantee that their milk Lipton and coffee are superb. Enjoy your drink while admiring the beauty of this land.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">On the way to Yen Minh district, don’t forget to follow the loops and stop by Lung Khuy cave which is believed to be the most beautiful cave in the North of Vietnam. Yen Minh pine forest, 50 kilometers away from Quan Ba district, is also worth your visit. This is a great place for you to have a picnic, sightsee, or do nothing and just relax.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">After half a day observing nature, it’s time for us to broaden our horizons about the local culture. Located deep in Sung La Valley, Pao’s house is a stunning attraction that helps travelers understand the ethnic customs and traditions. Featured in the well-known movie Pao’s story, it encompasses every detail of a typical Mong house, from the wood doors to the stone roofs. The entrance fee is 10,000 VND (0.4 USD), incredibly cheap for gaining new knowledge. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">If you have enough time, remember to visit Pho Bang, the Overslept Town. I believe the nickname came from the serenity, calmness, and tranquility of it. Time doesn’t seem to affect this place, and everything remains frozen in memory. Moreover, on both sides of the street, there are magnificent red roses. They remind me of a sleeping beauty waiting for someone to wake her up. In this case, maybe she is waiting for you! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Eventually, here comes our final stop, Dong Van town. 40 kilometers from Yen Minh district, the town makes for a distinctive experience. It is more energetic with the sounds of people selling and buying, or the noise of cattle. If you don’t know where to stay, try Bui Homestay of which the design is very close to the traditional houses of the ethnic minorities – house on stilts. At night, stroll around the town and you will find different delicacies, from the au tau porridge to the hearty thang den or the extreme thang co. If you have enough room in your stomach, you should try them all!</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;"><b><i>The Second Day: Dong Van – Lung Cu – Ma Pi Leng Pass – Meo Vac (90 kilometers)</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Get your gears running by stopping by a local food spot. Normally, people love banh cuon (steamed rice rolls), pho, or noodles for breakfast. If you arrive here on weekends, lucky you! This is when the Sa Phin flea market, selling hundreds of local goods, opens in the morning. Just stop by a random food stall in the market and let the local flavor satisfy your taste buds. But if you don’t come here on weekends, don’t worry. A well-known food store in the Old town is banh cuon Ba Ha, located on Pho Co street. Served with a bowl of soup, the egg steamed rice rolls here taste unbelievable. They are soft, mushy, and buttery. Dip with a little bit of fish sauce and you need nothing more for a glorious day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">After breakfast, don’t hesitate to check out the Meo King Palace which used to be the house of a Hmong king. To make the building, it cost around 150 billion Vietnam Dong (64,500 USD). Learn about the structure and the ways in which the workers built the house.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">In the Vietnamese backpacker community, it is believed that if you visit four points, the Fansipan mountain peak, and the Indochina conjunction, you have conquered Vietnam. On the way to Lung Cu flag point, a monument to mark the furthermost point of the country, you can see big fields of buckwheat flowers. The point consists of a 30-meter tall tower on the summit of the over-1,400-meter Lung Cu peak. The monument was built to mark the northernmost point in Vietnam, although the farthest northern point on the Chinese-Vietnamese border is actually located over three kilometers farther north. At the top of the tower hangs a Vietnamese flag. Enjoy the surrounding scenery and the cool fresh air.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">At noon, it’s time to return to the town and eat until you burst.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Next, let’s head to Ma Pi Leng, the king of all the mountain passes in Vietnam. Believe me, words cannot describe how stunning and marvelous it is. The 30-kilometer pass will let you discover numerous winding trails, breathtaking scenery, and Nho Que, the most alluring river you will have ever seen. You will get to Meo Vac town before evening, rest here. If you don’t know where to stay, read this article. Auberge de MeoVac and Lo Lo Homestay are my suggestions. At night, you can try the local dishes which are only a few steps away.</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">If you prefer motorbiking, just finish the rest of the loop which takes a little bit longer. But my recommendation is to head to Mau Dau, return to Quan Ba and follow the road from Yen Minh to Ha Giang that you took on the first day since this saves you a little bit of time. On the way back, you should stop by Lung Tam co-operative society to learn about the local weaving village or Ha Giang museum where you can broaden your horizons about the history, culture, and tradition of the people here. </span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">Wandering around crowded streets in Hanoi, you cannot miss the simple but unique xích lô (cyclo) which has been a familiar means of transportation for almost a century and become an indispensable part of the character of Hanoi.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Simple as it is, the beloved three wheeled vehicle has not only cemented ties between many generations of Hanoians, has also won the love of foreigners.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Taking a cyclo tour around the 1000 year old city is an interesting and enjoyable experience for all. You feel free sitting in the colourful cyclo relaxing, taking in the sights and observing the bustle and noise.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">“It’s very exciting to get around <a href="http://vietnamtypicaltours.com/tour/hanoi-city-tour-one-day-of-relaxing-and-shopping/">Hanoi by cyclo</a>”, said Philip Samar from France. “You are sitting in front of the driver yet separated from the crazy traffic”.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">The leisurely rotation of the cyclo’s wheels will bring you through the 36 ancient streets of the Old Quarter, past tree-lined roads, big French style colonial houses, ancient Vietnamese buildings and temples, as well as charming lakes and other cultural and historical sites.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">The cyclo squeezes into every corner of the capital to show you the peaceful life of the old days and also bring you vivid sights of Hanoi streets with friendly smiles from local people and street vendors that normally go unnoticed when riding a motorbike.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">“This little green vehicle makes me slow down in the busy ancient streets of Hanoi,” says Hayashi Okiyama from Japan. “It’s really impressive!”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">The word ’xích lô’ was actually borrowed from the French during the colonial period but has been around in Hanoi for so long time that local people consider it Vietnamese word.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Since that time, the cyclo has been one of the primary modes of transportation in the city as well as a tool for labourers to earn their living.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Nowadays, the rudimentary and simple Xich Lo is honored and loved by not only Vietnamese but foreign tourists as well. It is now mainly for tourists in Hanoi but its cultural beauty will increasingly valuable over time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">However, the ancient Hanoi is not the only tourist spot that cyclo is a favorite chosen transportation, Ho Chi Minh City is also a place that you can easily find a cyclo with the driver, who can also be your professional guide, for an unforgettable tour around the city.</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">You have take them seriously because this eatery, Pho Thin, has been serving this single dish for 40 years, and is still going strong.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Pho tai lan is different because of the way it serves its main ingredient, the beef. The beef is briefly stir-fried in a hot pan with garlic and ginger first, then served with the noodle and broth.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">There is no other option in this place. Just this one dish. You cannot find stir-fried pho or chicken pho. But it has never lacked customers for 40 years and has won over many foreigners as well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Some people have said that given its longevity, this eatery should be upgraded to a "proper restaurant," but most just want the flavors, taste and cleanliness maintained. They do not care about its name or its visibility.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">The fragrance of the broth is enough to entice them. The broth pot is always boiling from morning till the afternoon, and the aroma of star anise and black cardamom spreads in the area.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">The owner, Thin, said that the broth recipe is the result of a long process of learning from the past, as well as from other pho makers in Hanoi.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">After it is stir-fried briefly, the beef is placed in a big basket and ready to serve. A worker said it was not easy to stir-fry the beef, adding that it required skill and experience to get it just right.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Side dishes served with a bowl of pho here include quay, deep fried flour sticks, and poached eggs. You pay first before eating.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">A bowl of pho tai lan here is more expensive than the average stall at VND60.000 ($2.5). You can order quay for VND10,000 ($0.4)/three pieces and pay the same for a poached egg.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">The diner has no frills, but it’s clean. Customers enjoy their pho sitting on wooden or plastic tools at metal tables. There are several framed black and white pictures of old Hanoi on the wall and several newspaper articles that have been written about this pho place.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Way up in the northern highlands you’ll find the secluded Ba Be National Park. Paddle the lakes to the sound of the distant roar of the Dau Dang Waterfall, sliding into stalactite-filled caves surrounded by limestone cliffs on three sides.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Kayaking on Han River is a favorite program you ought to try when having a trip in Da Nang City. It is possible to say that this activity enables you to find out something more different about the middle city. If starting from Dragon Bridge, roaming down to the bridge crossing Han River, and turning back, you will be astonished by the twinkling landscapes of the city with the coming of night. Such light will make your kayaking trip more outstanding.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><i>Tuyen Lam Lake (Da Lat City)</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">5 kilometers to the south of the center of Da Lat City, Tuyen Lam Lake is absolutely fantastic for a kayaking trip as you can go through picturesque scenes around. Try imagining how exciting it will be when you dip into the cool breeze from the nearby pine hill and maple forest while lying down on your kayak. Obviously, nobody can deny the poetic charm of Da Lat, but an experience with the kayak will be more different, unforgettable, and greater than everything you still think of a trip.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Rising up in the Tibetan Plateau, the Mekong winds its way across Southeast Asia towards a vast delta area in Vietnam. More than just a geographical feature, the river seems to live and breathe, being home and workplace to millions of Vietnamese. It’s the rice bowl and fruit basket for the entire country, complete with floating markets and village communities.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">You can certainly feel the historical and cultural importance of the Mekong as you paddle in its delta. Stop on deserted islands, cook over open fires at night with ingredients you’ve bought at the floating markets, learn about traditional river life and sample a shot or two of the powerful rice wine. This is a kayaking expedition with a difference. </span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">The old quarter in Hanoi is over one thousand years old and today retains much of the old flavor that made the area special in earlier times. Each street was the exclusive domain of one trade (guilds) so there are whole streets of blacksmiths, silver shops, paper shops, headstone makers and more. Originally there were just 36 streets in the old quarter but today there are more than 50. Although many of the streets are short and the area is rather compact.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">You will have a unique experience trying the foods of the local Hanoi people; the food is handled hygienically and comfortable venues are provide for the tastings. The benefit also goes back to the vendors or restaurants / families as the food is bought directly from them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Later, the guide will bring you to enjoy a Water Puppet show which is a unique variation on the ancient Asia puppet tradition and is a Vietnamese tradition dating back to the 11th century. Supported by a large rod placed under the water and manipulated by experienced puppeteers, the wooden puppets appear to be dancing over the water, telling folk tales. It’s entertaining and suitable for all audiences.</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">Knowing Vietnamese noodles can be extremely helpful, as “pho” is to Hanoi and beef rice noodles is to Hue, Quang noodles is very popular in Hoi An and Da Nang.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Quang noodle soups differ than most normal noodle soups in that the soups have just enough broth to barely cover the noodles. Unlike other Vietnamese noodle soup bowls whose broth will cover the noodles almost completely, Quang noodle broth is barely enough to slurp during the meal. If you do not eat a Quang noodle bowl fast enough, the broth will generally quickly be soaked up by the noodles. Quang noodle soups are generally pork and dried shrimp broth based, although some regional and family recipes will use chicken and even duck. What makes Quang noodle soups unique is the richness of the broth, the lack of it and the crushed peanut toppings on the noodles.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><i>Why Quang Noodles is special ?</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">There are many types of Mi Quang, ranging from the basic ones such as pork&shrimp or chicken, to more special ingredients like snakehead fish, eel or jellyfish. A bowl of Mi Quang contains a rich layer of vegetables at the bottom, followed by noodles and a fair amount of broth. Unlike many other Vietnamese noodle soup bowls which are usually covered completely by their broths, Mi Quang broth is added just enough to barely soak the noodles. Last but not least, Mi Quang cannot go without the toppings of crushed roasted peanuts, rice crackers, herbs, lemons, and chilli.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Mi Quang brings out the feeling of genuineness and simplicity just like the people in <a href="http://vietnamtypicaltours.com/location/central-vietnam/">Central Vietnam</a>, one that is hard to come across in the modern dishes.</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">With all the tranquillity on offer when <a href="http://sapatoursfromhanoi.com/tour-category/halong-cruises/">cruising around Halong Bay</a> in the shadows of the vast, limestone mountains, the thought of shunning all of the activities and remaining on your junk boat just might cross your mind. Some tourists do indeed come exclusively for the cruise and prefer to unwind onboard rather than engage in any activities. This is fine, of course, the time is your own, but activities like cave exploration, expeditions to farms and villages, swimming and, especially kayaking in Halong Bay are strategically organised throughout your itinerary to maximise your enjoyment of the stunning UNESCO World Heritage site.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><i>How do I kayak in Halong Bay?</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Most tour companies have cruise ships fitted with racks of kayaks and oars. It is very rare to find a tour without a kayaking excursion, even on the shorter Halong Bay day trips where you get about 4 hours on the bay. The crew will explain the simple techniques for kayaking and show you exactly the area in which you should be doing it. Kayaking in Halong Bay comes with a few mild cautions, so make sure you listen to your tour guide:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">• Holding the oar the right way might seem like a no-brainer, but many people grasp it with hands too close together or too far apart. Your hands should be just over shoulder-width apart and the concave part of the oar should be facing backwards.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">• Don’t be afraid to use some force – the best kayaking trips are the ones you come back from with aching arms!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">• The initial confusion of steering left by using the right side of the oar and vice versa can be a little frustrating at first, but you will get the hang of it after a few minutes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">• Avoid cave entrances as the water here usually has a strong current that is capable of drawing you in if you get too close.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">• Keep a good distance between other kayaks to avoid unnecessary collisions.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">• Wear the life vest provided at all times.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">The openness of the region means that there is virtually no end to the great number of spots for kayaking in Halong Bay. You’ll have to abide by the strict tourism routes that the Halong Bay authorities enforce in order to protect the bay, but there are still a great number of places where <a href="http://vietnamtypicaltours.com/location/halong-bay-cruises/">Halong bay tours</a> stop to kayak.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><i>Vung Vieng Fishing Village </i>– While some tourists opt for a relaxing bamboo boat ride around the tiny, colourful floating village of Vung Vieng, kayaking while requiring more effort, offers you much more freedom. The surrounding mountains and a nearby rainbow arch that opens up into a beautiful wide expanse are some of the things to see around here.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><i>Luon Cave</i> - Another outstanding area to go kayaking in Halong Bay. Luon Cave features a short tunnel that opens up into a stunning enclosed grotto with emerald waters, reflecting the colour of the tree-topped mountain walls.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><i>Cap La Island</i> – A great alternative to kayaking in the sometimes rather tourist-heavy Vung Vieng is Cap La Island. This area is in one of Halong Bay’s sister bays, Bai Tu Long Bay, which contains the small fishing village of Cap La along with the same amazing island scenery as Halong Bay.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><i>Bright and Dark Cave</i> – If it’s a more adventurous kayaking trip that you want then perhaps opt for a tour that ventures to the Bright and Dark Cave in Halong’s other sister bay, Lan Ha Bay. A kayaking expedition here involves rowing through a long, pitch-black cave that requires a head torch, before rowing through a shorter, brighter cave into an enclosed grotto that resembles the one at Luon Cave. Again, this is the less touristy alternative to kayaking in Halong Bay.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><i>Which tour should I choose for kayaking in Halong Bay?</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">The vast majority of tours offer kayaking as an excursion so really you can opt for any. The areas of where these tours operate their kayaking differ though, so if you want to go to a specific cave or fishing village mentioned above then search for that place before booking.</span></div>
