Sa Pa prepares for Culture and Tourism Week

Lao Cai Province authorities are preparing for this year’s Culture and Tourism Week to be held in Sa Pa from April 30 to May 3.

A wide range of events are scheduled for the week, including the "Love Market" in Sa Pa town and "Cloud Festival" on Ham Rong Mountain that will spotlight traditional ethnic minority cultures.

There will also be a photography exhibition titled Sa Pa – The Land and Its People, a musical programme, and a cookery fair.

Sailing event starts in Phan Thiet

The first round of the 2009 Viet Nam Regatta Series that has begun at Jibe’s Beach Club in Mui Ne aims to promote the image of Ham Tien-Mui Ne Resort and provide tourists an exciting sporting option.

Organised by a HCM City-based yacht company in collaboration with the Binh Thuan Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the event has attracted 40 sailors from the UK, France, the US, the Netherlands, Canada, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Belgium and Viet Nam.

The second and the third rounds will be held in Nha Trang and Vung Tau, and the final round in Phan Thiet.

Sail on VN’s first luxury yacht

Visitors to Nha Trang will soon be able to cruise aboard the King Yacht, the first luxury yacht made in Viet Nam.

The 80-tonne, 28m long vessel, built by Nha Trang University’s Institute for Shipbuilding, has received a cruise licence from the authorities.

Its itinerary will include stops at Mun and Mot islands for swimming and diving, and Tam Island, a new 4-star tourist site.

A US$50 day cruise will come with coffee, wine, a five-course lunch and a massage. A $350 overnight cruise will include all meals.
