It takes you about 20 minutes from Cua Dai (Hoi An), you can enjoy “ ốc vú nàng” here and take some photographs on blue beaches…

The Cham Islands are a cluster of islands under Tan Hiep Commune, Hoi An City, Quang Nam District, and about 15 km away from Cua Dai beach.

Although the Cham Islands are located in popular tourist area of Da Nang- Hoi An-Cua Dai-My son sanctuary, it still remains the pristine beauty. The islands are also recognized as Vietnam’s national scenic site and quickly become an

The stunning beauty of the northwest region of Vietnam has been exposed through the lenses of several young amateur movie makers.

This time, Duong and his fellows include Nguyen Khac Hiep, Tran Huan, Nguyen Hoang and Khanh have created some more amazing clips about the nature and lives in the northwest region, gaining a lot of attenti

The Queen's former Crown Colony of Hong Kong is easy enough to like, but hard to love, writes Erik Bergin, as he goes on a quest to find the real characters of a really good book.

There sometimes are books that make you want to travel places. One such story – having been filmed in part starring Pierce Brosnan, no less – is James Clavell’s epic saga about Hong Kong, more specifically his two novels Tai-Pan and Noble House, featuring Hong Kong in 1841 and 1963, respectively. These are true masterpi

Are you happy?

That seems to be the question being asked in recent times, from boardrooms to bars, international conference centers to offices of government leaders, business schools to book stores. Are we happy? Following our bliss? Living our passion? Are we "me-focused" or "others-focused"?

The tiny Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan even measures its country's prosperity by its "gross national happiness" (GNH), measuring the spiritual, physical, social and environmental health and happiness of its c

Let’s face it, the internet has created a whole new world of travel opportunities, and has made making new friends over a computer entirely possible. Social media has taken over the travel world, and meeting new travel friends has never been easier. Recently, on my annual trip to London, I was given a most unique opportunity to meet an acquaintance that I had only met on-line, and to take a room in a historic 17th century building.

Every November, I head to London for the world’s second largest t

Door County, WI, a vacation hot-spot for mid-westerners and Europeans alike, is known for its wonderful sweet and tart cherries, which are made into wonderful preserves and sweet wines. Grape growers produce lovely dry whites and reds in addition to the sweet wines. Local cuisine is lighter than I expected (the fish boil is a not-to-be-missed tradition) and the desserts are heavenly.  There's lots to see, including an exemplary Maritime Museum, "haunted" houses and lighthouses.   Towns have side

Coming to a Hue restaurant, diners will be startled with the name "Cơm âm phủ" (Hades’ rice) on the menu, but then will crave it with its eye-catching presentation and flavor.

The name sounds very strange due its underworld connotations making some diners afraid to touch it but it is a delicious unique culinary art of Hue city.

The dish is colorful with white rice, red fried shrimp and eggs, dark gold grilled pork, green cucumber and red and white pickled carrot and beet. It is served with fish sa

Just as true love has to overcome many obstacles, the Valley of Love in Dalat had to overcome lots of challenges in the past so as to achieve its rightful name today. The Valley of Love today is situated 4 miles away from the center of Dalat, the little Paris, on Phu Dong Thien Vuong St.

The valley was called Vallée D’amour (Valley of Love) by the French at first before being renamed The Valley of Piece. In 1935, its beauty and captivation convinced people to once again name it after the most won

Júzcar is situated in the Alto del Genal, which is in the Serrania de Ronda region, extending from the Jarastepar peak, at 1,425 metres above sea level, to the coastal municipalities of Estepona and Benahavís.

The landscape is varied in this large municipality, from the rocky terrain of the northern Sierra del Oreganal to the pine and chestnut woods of the lower Sierra Bermeja mountain range. There are small mountains of pine and oak mixing with scrub land near the village itself; reaching from

Thanks to its natural beauty of sea landscape and huge tourism potential, Phu Quoc is Vietnam’s largest island which captivates a larger number of tourists in Vietnam travel every year. Especially, it is also considered to be the Pearl Island of Vietnam.

Despite its bodacious beaches and historic towns, New York State’s Long Island still cruises medium to low on the travel radar. Most Americans — even many New Yorkers — who know anything about the largest island in the U.S., flaring out from the Big Apple like an enormous forked tongue, think: NYC bedroom communities, then beaches (Fire Island, the tony Hamptons).

But how many appreciate that not only does New York State harbor the country’s oldest continuously operated winery
