Sin Ho’s wild beauty

by admin | post a comment

If visitors go to Sin Ho during the time of its only rice crop in the year, they will witness the special daily life of the locals in an area covered by clouds all the year round.

 

The Sin Ho plateau is around 60 km from Lai Chau town. The road to Sin Ho is very difficult to travel and sloping, and thus attracts adventurous people.

 

In mid July, Sin Ho is very cold and foggy. In the fog of Sin Ho, visitors will see ethnic minority people in their unique traditional costumes selling fruit and food on the road or in small mountainous markets.

by admin | post a comment

The La Marguerite.

 

The ship will run from Vietnam-Cambodia as well as on local routes. The first trip is slated for September, departing from HCM City.

 

La Marguerite (235 feet length, 41 feet width) has 46 cabins, able to accommodate 92 passengers. The ship has luxurious facilities like a spa room, a gym, bar and restaurant and library.

 

Amawaterway has finalised its preparations for its La Marguerite tour named “Vietnam, Cambodia and the richness of Mekong 2009-2011”. The ship has a working schedule from September 2009 to May 2011.

 

Passengers can catch La Marguerite in HCM City or Siem Reap (Cambodia). This is a river-way and aviation tour.

 

For example, with a 15-day tour, visitors will depart from Hanoi to Ha Long bay in Quang Ninh province before flying to Siem Reap. After visiting Angkor, they will get on La Marguerite on the 7th day at Tonle Sap Lake. The ship will take them to Kampong Cham, Phnom Penh in Cambodia and then Tan Chau, Sa Dec, Cai Be and HCM City in Vietnam. They will return home by air.

 

The ship will also offer 8-day tours to central Vietnam and a 4-day tour to Hong Kong.
