Halong Bay – How to Choose you Halong Bay – How to Choose your Junk
- From: indochinasails
-
Description:Halong Bay, Vietnam is AMAZING and completely worth the time and effort to plan. Before going, do put some time and effort into choosing what tour you do, as this will make a big difference to whether you come back raving about your trip or warning others not to make the mistakes you did.
Know what you want
There are literally hundreds of boats floating around Halong Bay every single day, catering to all interests and budgets. But to find the one that caters to you, you need to know what it is you are looking for.
1. How much do you want to spend?
Everyone's budget is different. Remember you are going to be stuck with it/on it, spending a little bit extra for a bit of comfort, good food, is probably worth it.
A tip: If you like a bit of luxury, consider upgrading.
2. How long do you want to go?
There are basically two options here: 2 days/1 night or 3 days/2 nights. If you do go for 2D/1N, be aware that you will spend less than 24 hours actually on Halong Bay. The first day you will make the four hour trip from Hanoi and arrive at the boat after 12 noon, after spending overnight on board, you will then disembark at around 11 am before making the four hour trip back to Hanoi while asking yourself why you didn't go ahead and do the 3 day tour. Mostly, the 3 day tour does the same itinerary as the 2 day tour, with an extra full day added in the middle where you will get the whole day exploring some of the further out areas, away from the tourist hordes.
3. How many people on the boat?
In general, up to 30 people is good
4. What do you want to eat?
It may sound silly, but you are going to be stuck eating what they give you for two or three days. The quality of the food will largely be determined by your budget; however there is quite a range of options depending on the boat. Some are predominantly buffets, however there are others that serve you individual courses, or even ones where you can choose your main course from a menu. This is especially important if you have special dietary requirements.
5. Where do you want to go?
In broad terms there are two basic options: Halong Bay (to the west) and Bai Tu Long Bay (to the east). Both are spectacularly beautiful, however, Ha Long Bay has more boats giving you more options, whereas Bai Tu Long Bay has less boats making it less busy and less crowded. If you go to Bai Tu Long Bay, you will miss out on seeing some of the more famous caves but you might get to visit some more untouched caves. Most boats provide a description of where they go on their website so check it out.
A third option is a tour that spends one night on Cat Ba Island. These tours are generally less expensive than the other options, however, be careful to check out not just the boat but also the accommodation offered on Cat Ba to make sure it fits your requirements.
6. What's included?
Do you want to go Kayaking? If so, many boats charge extra. Does the price include transport from Hanoi and pick up from your hotel? Also, depending on the boat there may be extra activities offered on board such as cooking demonstrations or squid fishing. It's worth finding out exactly what's offered and what extra charges there will be.
Do your research
Most boats have a website so check it out. Also, look for reviews from others about the boat you are looking for. For some reasons, a lot of people seem to post reviews for the wrong boats, so read carefully. Also beware of suspiciously well or suspiciously bad reviews, fake reviews are not unheard of.
A travel agent can be very helpful. Make sure you tell them what's important to you and then ask for recommendations. If you've found some boats yourself, contact them to find out if there's anything you should know. In particular, agents will know the age of most of the boats and the size of the cabins. They can also get extra information from the boat for you if needed.
Last, but not least, after doing your research, whatever you decide and whatever happens, enjoy the experience. No matter which boat you choose you will be in one of the most beautiful places on earth.
Booking
Booking early. Of course there are some good deals offered to last minute customers, but booking early will give you a better chance of getting the boat you want. The popular boats do sell out.
Make any special food requests. (Keep in mind that most boats offer a predominantly seafood menu so if you don't like fish and seafood speak up now.) Also be clear about what you can eat (e.g., no seafood but fish is fine, or no seafood and fish but meat is fine). Ask for a quiet cabin, that is one that is away from the generator and restaurant.
If you are thinking of what to do on your next holiday to Vietnam? Try Halong Bay cruising with Indochina Sails, one of the boats which is at the luxury end of the market. For more detail, please refer to http://www.indochinasails.com/

Description:“We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.” – Jawaharial NehruMesmerizing panoramas of limestone karsts often covered with lush green vegetation. Adding to this backdrop was the ever present fishermen who live on these waters. We were never completely alone.The put-put of their engines was the first indicator.
A single boat with Quonset hut and colorful flags passed by our junk oblivious to us watching.
Oftentimes boats were rafted together. This was home for them and a way of life dating back generations.We notice a lone man in his boat tied to this grey ragged landscape collecting crustaceans. It is food for the table and to sell.
A cultural and colorful highlight was visiting a floating village tucked along the jagged edge of karsts in a somewhat protected area from the winds. Consisting of 120 people, mostly families with children, they have been there since 1994 and encouraged by the government to fish these waters. They do so with nets as well as fish-farms. There are three other such floating villages scattered throughout Halong Bay and some quite large. Collectively, these fishermen supply seafood to all of Vietnam, particularly Hanoi. In addition, they are developing markets for farm-raised sea grasses, sea weed, and shrimp.Houses were painted in cheerful colors and each appeared to have a resident watch dog. Roosters crowed.Generators provide electricity for the floating village and fresh water is brought in from the mainland and stored in tanks.We were taken to the community building to meet the village elder, his family and to have tea. The structure also serves as a school while efforts are being made to replace the one that was destroyed in a typhoon. The government provides a teacher, but he or she needs to be married, which reflects the cultural morays. Older children who wish to further their education often live on the mainland with a relative.Managing tourism is of importance. This village has a partnership with several junk touring companies. Only the smaller vessels can approach this particular floating village, which was a cultural bonus for us. Instead of selling us trinkets or local crafts, we were taken on small boat excursions. There were four couples in our group and each couple was assigned to a row boat made from a woven reed basket.
Our rower was a girl named Win who was shy and had such a lovely smile. By tipping these rowers we are told this is a “workable” situation for tourists and the village. I had to agree. These women worked hard at what they were doing. An extra cultural treat for Ron and I was Duc, our guide, joined our little boat as well as the village chief’s son and niece. It was fun listening to the children chatter away and Duc translate.Laughing at each other in our conical hats was a reminder that we were acting the tourist part. There was one particular area that Duc wanted us to see, but the lead rower could not get her boat through because of the current.
We weren't disappointed. The beauty around us was worth this experience of being rowed in a basket.Once back on the junk, the long term sustainability of these floating villages was discussed. There is a balance between the fishermen, tourism, and the fragile eco-system which can change because of industrial run off, storms affecting fishing and increasing pollution. Halong Bay is a beautiful natural wonder. Protection of these waters while preserving a cultural way of life is an ongoing challenge.Source: onthegowithlynneFor more information about Halong Bay cruise, please refer: http://www.indochinasails.com/ - Blog post

Beautiful Lijiang City Beautiful Lijiang City
- From: x123456

Description:
Lijiang City, situated in the northwest of Yunnan Province between the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and Qingchang Plateau, covers an area of 20600 square kilometers.
Lijiang city the altitude of which is 2418 meters is one of the four well-preserved ancient cities across the country, where there are 12 ethnic groups, such as the Naxi nationality, the Yi nationality, and so on. What’s more, it has the most beautiful landscapes in the world.
It’s 76 kilometers away from Ninglang County to Lugu Lake in Yunnan Province. Lugu Lake is one of the highest plateau lakes in Yunnan Province in altitude. It’s normally 40 meters deep, but 73.2 meters deeper somewhere beneath, after Fuxian Lake. Lugu Lake which is narrow in the east and west but broad in the north and south looks like a trapezoid. The water is very clean.
In the east part of the lake, there is a mountain ridge that stretches down to the middle of the lake and also looks like a dragon dinking water there, so on the lake thus forms a peninsula that divides the whole lake into two parts.
On the Lugu Lake, there are actually 5 small islands all together, including 3 in Yunnan Province and 2 in Sichuan Province. They look like small green boats floating over the lake and also differ from one another. The smaller island among them is the Lige Island near the north of the lake where the ground is flat and houses which are built with wood face towards the lake, with beautiful landscapes around. Located in the middle of the lake, the Tusi Island which is narrow in the east and west but broad in the north and south is 700 meters long and 36 meters high. It was used for leisure and entertainment but since the buildings on the island were all gone, there has been a ruin. The Liwubi Island which is far from the Tusi Island for 3 kilometers is 450 meters long, 200 meters wide, and 43.4 meters high. On the island, there is a very dense forest in the southwest , hillsides in the northeast and also a beach nearby. In addition, a small village is located in the north of the Lugu Lake, surrounded by mountains.
The Wanggu Tower is a symbolic ancient building in Lijiang. It’s a tower building with double eaves on the roof, supported by 16 pillars that are 22 meters long, and it’s 33 meters high. If you would like to visit the Wanggu Tower, you can climb over the Lion Mountain in the Sifang Street and it takes 30 minutes to get there. Actually as you climb the mountain, you can also enjoy scenery. Standing on the Wanggu Tower, you are able to overlook the beautiful Yulong Mountain, villages, new towns, Lijiang Dam, an immense forest, and so on in Lijiang.

Halong Bay Water-based Activit Halong Bay Water-based Activities
- From: indochinasails

Description:Surrounded by thousands of limestone mountains, Ha Long Sea creates a charming beauty for the bay and makes it unbelievably unique. Coming to Halong Bay, you will be entering a world of water wonders.Exciting water sportsImmense water surface in Ha Long is home to a number of water sports such as rafting, kayaking and swimming. Tourists who love adventures can try water motor driving or parachute-pulled canoeing offered on Bai Chay or Tuan Chau beach. While high speed of the water motors brings about thrilling moments, a parachute-pulled canoe tour gives tourists a bird-eye view to spectacular scene of the bay below.For those wishing to spend more time on sightseeing and discovering the bay by themselves, kayaking is surely the perfect choice. The most impressive moment is when the kayak began moving into the cave. The further one goes inside, the darker and cooler it is. The cave is filled with falling stalactites, and sometimes, one has to crouch down in the boat to avoid hitting his head on them.Scuba Diving in Halong Bay- New and ExcitingSpacious underwater world in Ha Long with diversified marine creatures is a paradise for snorkeling and scuba diving. The period from April to December, when the temperature of water ranges from 26-29 degree Celsius, is the best time for these kinds of sport. Just put on scuba glasses, diving fins, scuba cylinder, and then jump into the water, a wonderful ocean worldwouldinstantly be opening in front of tourists’ eyes. Thousands of splendid corals such as sun mushroom, leather or stag-horn and colorful fishessuch as sergeant major or Clark’s anemone would definitely amaze anyone.In addition, internationally- licensed and friendly scuba divers and assistants promise safe dive andunforgettable experience to tourists.Soft sandy beaches fringed with coconut palms are not only ideal places for sunbathing or relaxation but also for energetic sport activities like beach volleyball or football. Besides matches played for fun and good health, occasional international competition such as Asian Women’s Beach Volleyball Championships draws attention of many locals and travelers.Overnight on luxurious junksLuxurious junk is movable accommodation, a perfect combination of upscale hotel and convenient transportation. Guests can enjoy marvelous beauty of the world heritage site any time they want while lying on the bed, enjoying coffee on the boat terrace, having lunch in dining room or sunbathing on the top deck.Besides taking tourists to the highlights of Ha Long Bay, the tour offers them interesting sports and entertainment activities such as scuba diving, kayaking or Vietnamese cooking class.Particularly, tourists who love to wake up early to appreciate the bay’s beauty in the dawn can also join morning Taichi class on the deck.Floating fishing villagesFamous for unique scenery with thousands of limestone islands floating on the water, Ha Long attracts tourist by its cultural value as well. In recent years, visiting floating fishing villages in Ha Long such as Vong Vieng or Cua Van have been more popular.The locals here live on floating houses and mainly earn a living by fishing and marine aquaculture. They go fishing in the morning, selling their catches to bigger boats, which later sell the catches to the mainland. On the way of sigh-seeing around Ha Long Bay, travelers can see some floating markets of the local peopleselling goods for daily use such as vegetable, fruits, rice and fishes.Tourists can get an insight into the locals’ life byvisiting fish cultivation area. It would be much more interesting if one can have ahome-stay and try daily work of fisherman like rowing boat, casting and hauling the fish net, sitting on coracle and listening to folk songs at night. Besides, there are plenty of souvenirs made from shells and pearls by the locals available for choices. Despite language barrier, friendly and cheerful locals would surely make guests feel comfortable like staying at home.Supported by Indochina Sails – The most luxury and safest cruises in Halong BayINDOCHINA SAILSHanoi OfficeAdd: 27 – A6 – Dam Trau Quarter – Hai Ba Trung District – Hanoi – VietnamTel: +84 – 4- 39842362Fax: +84 – 4 – 39844150Email: info@indochinasails.comWebsite: www.indochinasails.com (http://www.indochinasails.com/en/)

The Nile River The Nile River
- From: Egyptravel

Description:
The Nile In Egypt Like A Blood In The Body
The Nile was, and still is, used to transport goods to different places along its long path;
especially since winter winds in this area blow up river, the ships could travel up with no
work by using the sail, and down using the flow of the river. While most Egyptians still live in the Nile valley, the construction of the Aswan High Dam (finished in 1970) to provide hydroelectricity ended the summer floods and their renewal of the fertile soil. Cities on the Nile include Khartoum, Aswan, Luxor (Thebes), and the Giza – Cairo Conurbation. The first cataract, the closest to the mouth of the river, is at Aswan to the north of the Aswan Dams.The Nile north of Aswan is a regular tourist route, with cruise ships and traditional wooden sailing boats known as feluccas.In addition, many "floating hotel" cruise boats ply the route between Luxor and Aswan, stopping in at Edfu and Kom Ombo along the way.
