Mekong Travel Guide, Mekong River Cruise, Footstep Travel Guide, Footstep Tour

The Mekong River Delta is the richest and most fertile area in Vietnam; the river itself has its source as far north as Tibet and passes through more countries in Asia than any other river. The name signifies the river “of nine dragons”, the atmosphere is languid and the heat is tough; the mangroves rule the swamps; and the canals’ dark waters have tales to tell.

My Tho is always the first stop on tourists’ bus tour, and you are going to get a lesson on exotic fruit; even if you are not passionate on the subject, the mere color and shape of some of these delicacies will change your mind.

It appears that the durian has earned its place as the "King of Fruits" among the peers. The fruit is distinctive for its large size, unique odour, and formidable thorn-covered husk. It is huge, green on the outside, and smells like Camembert cheese on the inside. The fruit can grow up to 30 centimetres long and 15 centimetres in diameter, and typically weighs one to three kilograms. Its shape ranges from oblong to round, the colour of its husk green to brown, and its flesh pale-yellow to red, depending on the species. The edible flesh emits a distinctive odour, strong and penetrating even when the husk is intact. Regarded by some as fragrant, others as overpowering and offensive, the smell evokes reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgust. Hold your nose and take a bite! It is much more delicious than its odour!

You are also enjoying another kind of fruit - rambutan. The rambutan is very similar to lychee and tastes like a sweet, chewy apple. The rambutan is a medium-sized tropical tree in the family Sapindaceae, and the fruit of this tree. It is probably native to Southeast Asia, although its precise natural distribution is unknown. It is closely related to several other edible tropical fruits including the Lychee, Longan and Mamoncillo.

 http://footsteptravel.com/en/?cat_id=8:Mekong-Cruises&subcat_id=25:Cai-Be-Princess-Cruises

Longan is a wonderful and delicious tonic fruit to build energy, to nurture the heart, and to add luster and beauty to the skin. It is believed that Longan is not only great for the skin, but is also a fantastic sex tonic. For that reason, Longan is considered as a special tonic for women who wish to be both beautiful and sexual. It has a 2000 year reputation as a special love tonic. Longan is equally beneficial to men. It is believed to have a calming effect and to add radiance to the eyes. Longman is Vietnam’s most profitable, farmers in the Mekong Delta have already sacrificed coconut farming for this fruit. Well, it is a mad fruit!

Mango consists of numerous species of tropical fruiting trees in the flowering plant family Anacardiaceae. Mango is one of the most extensively exploited fruits for food, juice, flavor, fragrance and color, making it a common ingredient in new functional foods often called superfruits. Mango fruits are oval and egg shaped with smooth, soft skin.  The skin is usually a combination of green, red, and yellow. The interior flesh is bright orange and soft  with a large, flat pit in the middle. The ripe fruit is variable in size and color, and may be yellow, orange, red or green when ripe, depending on the cultivar. When ripe, the unpeeled fruit gives off a distinctive resinous sweet smell. In its center is a single flat oblong seed that can be fibrous or hairy on the surface, depending on the cultivar.

The most attractive one is the dragon fruit (Thanh Long in Vietnamese), because it looked like a flower about to bloom. It has interesting black seeds inside and a white flesh, so that when it is cut, the red rind gives it a really lovely frame. Dragon fruit is cactus family, origin in Central America desert area. Thanh Long is planted in Vietnam, especially in the Southern areas, since the beginning of century 20; and since the beginning of 1990 it becomes a product. Vietnam is a country that exports dragon fruit with a large trade scale. Dragon fruit is a fruit that has high nutrition value, a lot of water and mineral substance; makes liver well and laxative. Dragon fruit is good for people who get high blood pressure and obese. Beside that, dragon fruit can limit development of diabetes, thus dragon fruit is a kind of fruit that many people like best.

Pineapple is the common name for an edible tropical plant. This herbaceous perennial plant grows to 1–1.5m tall with 30 or more trough-shaped and pointed leaves 30–100 cm long, surrounding a thick stem. The pineapple is an example of a multiple fruit: multiple, spirally-arranged flowers along the axis each produce a fleshy fruit that becomes pressed against the fruits of adjacent flowers, forming what appears to be a single fleshy fruit. Pineapple is commonly used in desserts and other types of fruit dishes, or on its own. Pineapples are the only bromeliad fruit in widespread cultivation. It is one of the most commercially important plants which carry out photosynthesis.

The star apple or “vũ sữa” is very sweet and creamy. You will also see guava, banana, custard-apple, water-melon, strawberry and lots of others.

Choosing best Vietnam Cruises Holiday

Vietnam has two places that passengers can take cruise: Halong bay and Mekong River. Both of those names are very popular in geographical aspect, and so is cruising destination. This post is going to discuss some general ideas to pick a cruise best fitting interests and budgets

 Halong bay, yes it is, the most well-known place of Vietnam for all travelers. Many things making this fame can be listed but the most widely known is twice recognized as Natural World Heritage. And best activity in Halong bay must be sailing. Recent years, cruising trips in Halong widely extend to overnight trip on-board. Today, there is hundreds of cruises (actually wooden junks) operating their business in Halong bay. Due to the rapidly increasing number of Halong junks, the competition has been becoming tougher and tougher which eventually help customers enjoy many benefits. Cruising in Halong bay has never been that easy and cheap

 The passengers should know that cruising route here is nearly similar for all junks. Cruise companies just adjust the itinerary a little to best fit to junks’ size and piers then reorder the visiting sites making it sound different. Moreover, the itinerary runs as a circle meaning embark and disembark at the same pier. Each company often has some junks in their fleet then cruises in Halong bay actually can embark everyday. With overnight trips, there are two typical programs: 2 days and 3 days. For longer trips, the passengers are expected to charter the cruise. So when choosing a Halong junk, two features only should be taken into account: boat size (length, width, how many cabins? How many passengers max onboard? ect) and price. This feature is very much different from Mekong cruises which will be told in next post

 There is a general rule: the bigger the junk is, the lower privacy it can offer. The junks in Halong today widely differ in size from: very private 01-02 cabin per boat (like Princess cruise), to small ones 5-6 cabins (like Violet and Valentine) up to 14-17 cabins per boat (most popular like: Jasmine, Indochina Sails) and even 32 cabins (like Victory Star cruise). The services on board is various too, from standard ones (as famous, long-standing Bait ho junks), to deluxe and affordable (like Dragon Pearl, Halong Emotion Cruise, Oriental Sails), or luxury ones (like Indochina Sails, Ginger, Jasmine) or beyond-your-imagination services of which Violet and Paradise are most typical. Thanks to that, price for a trip here can widely range from about 120$ per person up to 400US$ person for 1 night trip. With longer trip and/or some additional services, the price is more. To sum up, passengers pick a suitable cruise very much depending on the expected privacy and budget. Great news is almost Vietnam cruise agents offering price including all service charges and taxes, then you do not have to pay any extra for taxes.

 Based on our own experience (mekongrivervietnam.com and http://footsteptravel.com/en/?cat_id=8:Mekong-Cruises ) and our customers’ feedbacks: the best luxury cruise in Halong bay now is Violet. The luxury services but most affordable cruise is Indochina Sails. The top picked cruises are Jasmine junk and Indochina Sails. The best standard cruise is Bait ho junks

Economic history of Vietnam

For a very long time, Vietnam was well known for its" Tower of Hanoi” algorithm in the worlds of mathematics and programming languages. If you are not familiar with this Tower, then you probably associate Vietnam with its war for  independence [1945-1975], the celebration for which President Bill Clinton visited Vietnam in November 2000. Consequently, Dien Bien Phu, Truong Son Road and the famous Cu Chi Tunnels should be the first views of our country when you arrive.  

Vietnam’s past reads like a romantic legend, full of heroic struggles and outstanding  victories, but this will prove to be only one of the many reasons for your holiday here. You will discover unparalleled opportunities for cultural exploration. The Vietnamese nation was primarily influenced through a process of anthropological cross-pollination between ancient Chinese and Indian cultures. The Kinh (Viet) people make up the majority of the population, however, Vietnam counts no less than 54 ethnic groups within its borders. Many of them live in remote areas and follow their own language and cultural identity, thus contributing to a harmonious blend of independent ethnicities. However, from a historical standpoint, and during the course of national development, all ethnic groups have been closely united, sharing the fight against foreign invaders, defending the country's sovereignty, and eventually gaining the right to national independence and self-determination.

Vietnam is the proud recipient of three World Heritage Site cultural awards:

 1) the Imperial City of Hue;

 2) Hoi, an ancient town trade center; and,

3) My Son holy land.

Other cultural attractions include the capital city of Hanoi, dubbed the “Pearl of the Far East” Ho Chi Minh City (formerly known as Saigon), the town of Sapa, the village of Mai Chau, and many others.
Vietnam's magnetism also comes from its landscape, offering a breathtaking 3260 kilometers of coastline which extends along the eastern boundary of the country and wraps around its southern tip. Our shoreline is flanked by stretches of virgin, white sand beaches and islands. Vietnam’s topography is blessed by unspoiled mountains and forests, hundreds of beautiful lakes, pristine rivers, waterfalls, and scores of unforgettable caves. Most famous amongst our natural resources is World Heritage designated site, Ha Long Bay, with thousands of islands and limestone rocks of different sizes and shapes. You can see Nature’s hand at work in the wondrous caves and grottoes that inhabit the islands. For your enjoyment, one or more of twenty stunning resorts along the coastline await you: Cat Ba Island in the north; in the Central region, Da Nang, Nha Trang and Mui Ne (Phan Thiet); and in the south, Vung Tau, Con Dao Island and Phu Quoc Island. 

Vietnam's attractions also come from its landscape with virgin beaches and islands from 3260km long coastline, unspoiled mountains and forests, hundreds of beautiful lakes, rivers, waterfalls, and many unforgettable caves. Vietnam has a long coastline that extends along the eastern boundary of the country and wraps around the southern tip for 3,260 km, features endless stretches of empty, white sand beaches. The most famous is World heritage Halong bay, with thousands of islands and rocks of different sizes and shapes. But it is more attractive since Nature create a lot of wonderful caves and grottoes in those islands. But you also may enjoy at one of more than 20 beautiful resorts along the coastline, such as Tra Co, Cat Ba island in the north and Da Nang, Nha Trang,  Mui Ne (Phan Thiet) in the Middle, Vung Tau, Con Dao island and Phu Quoc island in the south.
Vietnam's National Parks are home to the tropical zone’s largest collection of flora and fauna. The most renown are Cuc Phuong National Park in Ninh Binh Province, and Cat Tien National Park in Dong Nai Province. Nonetheless, there exists several regions in Vietnam that have been preserved as gardens and bird sanctuaries; one such area is the Minh Hai Sanctuary which houses more than 80 species of birds.
Stretching long up to 1,600km in the eastern coast of Indochina Peninsula, Vietnam’s varied topography allows for an incredibly varied travel experience. Along the central coast, the driest season runs from June to October.
