Dong Van plateau is known as one of the 77 geological parks in the world and the second in Southeast Asia after the Langkawi Geological Park in Malaysia. With an immense area of limestone mountains and deserts of rugged rocks, the plateau is also called the land of rocks.

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

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
