  • Where the morning sun first shines on Vietnamese land

    Where the morning sun first shines on Vietnamese land

    Dawn begins as early as 4:30 a.m. when the first light shines in the sky before the sun emerges on the horizon at 5:20 a.m. By 5:45 a.m. the sun is twin cape), which is part of Hon Gom Peninsular in Khanh Hoa Province.

    Many tourism documents identify Dai Lanh or Dien Cape, in the central coastal province of Phu Yen, as the easternmost inland part of Vietnam. The reason is that this cape is easily accessed by coaches and cars, particularly since an 11-kilometer-long road linking National Highway 1A to the cape was opened to traffic three years ago. But geographical documents and our GPS Garmin 60CS x instrument confirm that Mui Doi is indeed the eastern tip of Vietnam, as it is located at 109° 27’ 53.94" E and 12° 38’ 56.46" N, while the Dien Cape is situated at 109° 27’ 42.24" E and 12° 53’ 40.92" N.

    Mui Doi is also where visitors can see the first light of day. Unfortunately viewing this magnificent scene is rare experience as there are no tours to the area due to the difficult accessibility.

    To reach Mui Doi in Van Thanh in Van Ninh District, one must hire and board a fishing ship or vessel for a two or more hour journey on the bubbling waters of Van Phong Bay and the East Sea from Mon Lagoon. The alternative is a two hour trek through sand dunes under the scorching sun.

    Since Mui Doi is rarely visited there are no facilities for tourists. Visitors who plan to stay overnight must bring water, food, sleeping bags or tents and other necessities with them, as did participants of an exploratory tour organized by VietmarkCo. to the cape early this week.

    Approval is required from the coastguards who oversee the area before departing for Mui Doi. lt is preferable to arrive at the twin cape long before the sun sets to ensure adequate time for setting up camp on the unspoiled Rang Beach and to collect dried wood from the forest for a fire to cook dinner and provide warmth at night.

    Visitors to the cape should travel in groups of two or more to share the work that must be done on arrival. They can then get an early night and be up before dawn to watch the sun-rise, or spend a sleepless night by the fire and see the moon rising, and the wonderful scene of lit fishing boats in the distance.

    There is a famous lighthouse at the Dai Lanh Cape which stands 112 meters above sea level. The top of the lighthouse offers a base for visitors to view the beautiful beaches, including Mon, and rock formations along the coastline. Moreover, the lighthouse, which was reopened for the third time in 1997, is also a great location to see the sunrise and sunset.

    In fact the easternmost land in Vietnam is actually an additional 30 minute trek from Rang Beach. For visitors who have made it to Hon Gom Peninsular, the hike along the coast, climbing up and down the different shaped boulders and rocks after watching the sun rise is an experience not to be missed.

    For an organized tour to the easternmost land tip of Vietnam, contact Truong Hoang Phuong, director of marketing at VietmarkCo. Ltd., Floor 1 of the building at 166D Tran Hung Dao Boulevard, District 1, HCMC. Tel: (08) 404 3939 or mobile: 0919105566. Email: phuong@vietmark.vn.

  • Discover Ha Long bay in a new style

    Discover Ha Long bay in a new style.

    We were joining in an interesting journey to one the new natural wonders. In this 3 day 2 night trip, we were gonna visit Surprise Cave, swim at Ti Top beach, visit fishing villages but the most interesting part must be Squid fishing and Ngoc Vung Island.

    We departed from Hanoi at 8a.m, chatting loudly as we were on the way. We were joining in an interesting journey to one the new natural wonders. In this 3 day 2 night trip, we were gonna visit Surprise Cave, swim at Ti Top beach, visit fishing villages but the most interesting part must be Squid fishing and Ngoc Vung Island.

    Time flies, we only had 15 minute break at a traditional handicraft village on the way. 11h 30 we reached Quang Ninh province. We stopped at Bai Chay wharf to aboard with Indochinasails. Cool towers were served as we came in an airconditioned friendly restaurant. A tender took us to Indochinasails. From the distance of 10m, we could hear the drums, see friendly smiles of the boarding staff. Welcome drink served at the restaurant onboard made us refresh. We had a short snap before having lunch at 1 p.m. The big and full menu kept us almost 1h to go through. The sailboat moved slowly during lunch. We could see the outside scenes through the glass windows but felt no moves at all as everything was perfect. After lunch, we rushed to the sun deck to take photos as the sun shone so brightly. There were no time to spare, at 3p.m we either had a swim at Ti Top beach or Kayaking to discover Bat Cave. No one wasted any moments as we were noticed of a Wine Tasting on the sundeck at 6p.m.

    Before dinner, it is the most amazing time of the day if you are lying on one of the long chairs on the sundeck. Summer breezes and classic music, you would wonder how they match together, sipping some wine. Buffet dinner began at 7p.m. Each table was lighed by a candle light. Traditional musical instruments were played by local artists in such a closed and simple manner. After a day of activities, we gathered on the sundeck, listening to the music. Some of us tried squid fishing at the head of the boat. We went to bed early for tomorrow’s program.

    We were informed to take dayboat to Ngoc Vung island at 7a.m but we cannot wait to wake up at 5.30 a.m for Tai Chi exercises and sunrise on the sundeck. We temporarily transferred to a dayboat to explore Ngoc Vung island. They prepared some bikes to move on the island. It took us nearly 3 hours to get Ngoc Vung island. We had no time to get bored. Having breakfast, sunbathing and telling jokes. The island we reached was so peaceful. Fresh water were transported by pass-by boats. They seemed to have no links with the outside world. On the way to the beach, we had a chance to discover their lives as we were moving nearby. Passing through a pine line, an amazing beach facing us. At the very first moments, we recall its name Ngoc Vung – sesame diamonds. The sand was just white and tiny as sesame seeds. Imagine just you and the nature, you could hear the waves moving towards the beach. A true paradise away from noisy city life.

    We back to the boat for lunch, chatting noisily on the way back. We shared the photos taken and rested for a while. One hour after lunch, we started kayaking. It was a real adventure, we ourselves could explore the beautiful scenes. We expected another exciting evening at fishing village. We were lucky to have a dark night, without moonlight, the squids would easily be attracted by the neon light. We saw a lot of fish and quids in the fishing net. They were pushed out onto the front deck. At that moment, we seemed to feel the hardness of a fisherman life.

    The next morning, the boat is anchored so near Surprise Cave that we could visit the cave in just few minute transferred by tender. We had a big brunch before check out. It is a very special journey in luxury, a fancy indochinasails and amazing initerary, the experience that deserves to be shared.

  • RISS - Renaissance International School Saigon

    INTRODUCTION

    The definition of 'Renaissance' is 'rebirth'. It is a period in history generally associated with renewed interest in learning, and 'creativity'. It is a name specifically chosen for our school as it embodies our underlying philosophy for teaching and learning.

    Mihaly Csikszentmihaly identifies 'high challenge and low stress' as ideal conditions for effective learning to take place. RISS provides such conditions were students are enthusiastically engaged in their work and encouraged to maximise their learning without being under undue pressure or duress.

    We recognise that each student is unique and has individual needs and abilities. Students have a variety of different learning styles and so for effective learning to take place, a variety of teaching strategies needs to be used to give the students an opportunity to access information by looking, listening and touching. We endorse and apply this methodology and our students can learn in a way that is most appropriate for them. This is fundamental to our teaching strategy and to the success of the students.

    Occupying a modern purpose built campus, staffed by an excellent team of teachers the Renaissance International School Saigon is able to provide a programme that prepares its students to successfully take their place within the global society. The curriculum provides a strong basis for students to develop an international perspective and in addition to being academically rigorous, promotes creativity and meets the intellectual, emotional, spiritual, social and physical needs of the students.

    In keeping with its standing as one of the most modern international schools in Vietnam, RISS is proud of the technology in place to support teaching and learning. The ICT facilities are impressive and provide an extra dimension in supporting the school's commitment to excellence.
