From May 25 to 29, the Documentary and Science Film Studio in Hanoi will showcase five exceptional films by African filmmakers, spanning genres such as drama, tragedy, comedy, and documentary. Kicking off this year’s FESPACO is the Moroccan drama, ‘Ali Zaoua – Prince of the Streets.’ The film revolves around the friendship between four street children in Casablanca: Ali, Kwita, Omar, and Boubker.

A place still retains original beauty of Sapa

Hình ảnh
Hau Chu Ngai is about 7 kilometers from the center of Sapa Town and located at more than 1,600 meters above sea level. Tourism in Hau Chu Ngai has not been developed much. The road leading to Hau Chu Ngai is difficult to negotiate as it is narrow and bumpy. Along the roadside, Hau Chu Ngai seems to contain a whole valley of clouds, making tourists feel like they are immersed in an endless sea of clouds. However, this can limit driving visibility. The days with low temperatures, high humidity and sunshine are ideal for successful “cloud hunting” moments. These days, Hau Chu Ngai appears impressive with a vast sea of white clouds. Dawn and dusk are the ideal times for hunting clouds. Hau Chu Ngai still retains the primary and wild beauty of a peaceful mountainous region, which differs from the bustle of the center of Sapa Town. There are not many human interventions, so besides a few accommodations, food services in Hau Chu Ngai are almost non-existent. Hau Chu Ngai still...

A view of Tam Coc in the Trang An Landscape Complex of Ninh Binh. Photo: VNA Le Figaro pointed out that Vietnam can be considered a winter destination for French tourists. However, spring is also a suitable time as tourists are able to avoid the crowds and troubles that come with traveling during the peak season. Le Figaro also described Vietnam as a worthy destination to experience nature and indigenous cultures. The author suggested that guests take a 16-day trip to explore the country from North to South to savor scenic views of green rice fields and gain greater insights into the tradition of knitting or dyeing indigo of the Dao and Mong ethnic communities in Sa Pa, a famous tourist destination in northern Vietnam.
