A BREATHTAKING PARADISE IN XINJIANG If there was a "heaven on earth" in China, people would surely think of Jiuzhaigou of Sichuan province.

But if you ever visited Xinjiang, the landscape of the most well-known route of the historical Silk Road, you would see that Jiuzhaigou pales in comparison to an even a better paradise.

The concept of a "flat world" gives us an imagination that every border in the world is collapsed. However, if this is true, the world should stop at remote areas, where are holding many exciting experiences, such as Siberia, a Far Eastern region of Russia. You will easily feel that if you take the world's longest railway journey running through 7 time zones across the width of the world's largest country with images of expanding taiga forests, Baikal lake, white snow and immense grasslands. This journey on the 100-year-old Trans-Siberian Railway will take you around one eighth of the earth. The railway is a good memory of many Vietnamese, who used to live in this big country.

In this special issue of cuisine, Travellive will take you to an exceptional culinary journey to taste delectable dishes of Hanoi and HCMC via 7 signature restaurants. With coffee addicts, do not miss the list of must-try cafes around tourist cities in Vietnam.

We wish you an interesting experience in your autumn journey with your families.

T

he opening of three new Vietnamese restaurants - Q, home Finest, and The Chopsticks - is testament that the national cuisine still belongs at the head of the table.

All three new zrestaurants are located at Dien Bien Phu Street, District 3, HCM City. According to Mr. Nguyen Hong Nhat, General Director of Viet Deli JSC., the Hanoibased restaurant group with quality Vietnamese cuisine at its heart. Viet Deli's opening of Q, Home Finest, and The Chopsticks comes after a string of successful restaurants in hanoi and hoi An. The three new restaurants are nestled in trendy District 3 and all share one trait - a steadfast loyalty to good Vietnamese food. But the similarities end there as each venue flaunts a different menu, atmosphere, and experience.

Q Saigon is the place to see modern, innovative Vietnamese cuisine in action. The open kitchen allows patrons to peer in at the expert chefs as they theatrically juggle wok-fried lobster with crab roe sauce and marinated beed in coconut flambe. Executive chef Nguyen Gia Thien ensures that the theatrics don't detract from the food, however.

"Each dish has been carefully thought out and the recipes employ only quality, locally-sourced ingredients," he says. The villa itself has been sympathetically restored with love and a nod to Saigon's colonial history, with a leafy garden suited for a pre-dinner cocktail or glass of wine. home Finest is the third installment of home restaurants that started in hanoi and expanded to hoi An. Blending fine Vietnamese food with elegant atmospheres, the previous home restaurants shook up the food scene in their respective cities. home Finest continues the trend, though guests are treated to fare a rung higher than that found at the pioneering establishments, and with a southern twist.

Chopsticks Saigon takes a different turn again, adopting a more mellow approach to authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Of the three new restaurants Chopsticks Saigon is the most casual dining option, specialising in soups, salads, and spring rolls.

With Vietnam becoming increasingly cosmopiltan, international food options will continue to spread through its cities. The variety is welcome but it will never breach the stronghold of Vietnam's local cuisine, as demonstrated by Q, Home Finest, and The Chopsticks.

"With so many excellent international offerings, it's easy to accidently bypass Vietnamese food," he says Gia Thien. "We are here to remind the city of its roots; that our national cuisine is still king."

Born in the Black Forecast in the southeast of Germany, Stephan has had many opportunities to work in different luxurious hotels and resorts in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa. For him, talent, creativity, leadership and teamwork are significant elements to the success of hotels.

What brought you to Vietnam?

"My first journey to Vietnam in 2003 changed my life". I love your country due to its cuisine, beautiful sceneries and people. Everything here is new and far different from the other places that I have lived in before, even the place where I grew up. Foods, cultures, landscapes and smells, they are all mixed naturally together.

How have you been adapting to the new culture here?

Living in a new culture may be either an exciting experience or a challenge if you are not as open and curious as me. It's not that you have to change yourself but rather know how to respect other people in the cultures.

What do you think about Vietnamese cuisine and what do you think will be changed in the future?

Vietnamese people are more and more aware of their health problems, especially the quality of foods and their sources, how crops are grown in an unsustainable way, and whether they are good for health.

Restaurants should be more creative in their menus and be more concerned about the sources of foods to ensure they complement each other and bring better culinary experiences to diners.

Which new elements are you offering gourmets at Pullman Vung Tau? My mission is to turn meals into the heart and soul of Pullman Vung Tau and local communities by offering fantastic and precious culinary experiences. Safe foods will not be a luxurious thing but common for every customer. This is also a key value that we are aiming for.

Could you share us upcoming culinary programs of the hotel?

We are offering a lavish selection of fresh seafood and freshwater specialties cooked in different recipes, including both BBQ and an array of desserts at Riviera restaurant every Friday, and Saturday evenings and other holidays. Our motto is "Eat as much as you can".

The new Sweet&Co. bakery cafe of the hotel also serves the finest cakes, ice cream and bubble tea.

The idea of "The Junction" at the hotel's lobby will be also launched very soon to showcase an international and modern bar menu to its guests.

Could you share information about "an iconic culinery destination"?

It's to welcome people to a new age, where people are choosing to have their meals in a distinctive place that can bring them simple but memorable experience.

It's where Michelin restaurants are deserted while small, local restaurants are crowded with gastronomes. Let's take Saigon as an example. It's definitely a wonderful city with many well-appointed restaurants at the urban centre where you can enjoy both local and international foods among an array of recreational centre. Saigon has become a symbolic food address. It's simply because it boasts diverse cuisines that you can't see anywhere else. I hope Pullman Vung Tau will be such a food address in future.

Thank you very much for sharing us!

Aside from swift responses and abilities to deeply understand customer need, the sales consultants of Gamuda Land also have the abilities to analyze the best options that offer the most benefits for both living and investment purposes. When a contract is successfully finalized, a separate division with professional experts will complete all related document procedures with clients.

Thus, at this stage, customers will always be updated with clear and official information regarding prices, discounts and other aspects of the project.

In addition to the need of a perfect home and profit values, customers pay considerable attention towards the general planning of the project design and the intricate details inside every home unit. Thus, the project designers will balance every client's individual expectation with the project's aesthetic elements and architectural styles in order to ensure the unity of the township while meeting the requirements of houseowners. As a "town-maker", Gamuda Land creates places that people will call home, places that people will feel excited to bring their families to, be a part of, grow up and grow old in. The developer masterplans by harmoniously bringing together all the key elements to create a personality for the town so when people move in, they'll experience a real difference and want to be a part of it.

THE LEGEND OF AUGUSTE ESCOFFIER AND BIRTH OF FINE DINING

T

he term restaurant itself was first used from the end of 1700s during the French Revolution. "Restaurant" was used to describe eating places serving folks in common guesthouses while the aristocracy had their own chefs at home. Ony those, who were cooking for the royal families and noble class with high skills, could be called chefs. When the French Revolution happened, skillful chefs from aristocratic households were unemployed and began working in restaurants, where they served a more diverse menu than only a dish of soup as before. This was the start of fine dining restaurants.

Fine dining cuisine was developed and became popular to the world in the beginning of the 20th century with the support of a culinary legend, Auguste Escoffier (1846-1935), the father of Haute Cuisine. Known as a French chef, who popularized and updated traditional French cooking methods, he was the producer of the best sauces of the modern world such as tomato, espagnole, bächamel and hollandaise sauces.

Instead of having all dishes for diners at the same time, Escoffier offered one by one as an a la carte menu, as what we call it today. By this way, foods would be neatly placed and served on dining tables.

He also developed the kitchen Brigade system, in which each kitchen staff (Chef de Brigade) would take in charge of certain tasks in the kitchen.

Saucier (saucemaker/sautä cook) prepares sauces and sautäed items; Rotisseur (roast cook) and Grillardin (grill cook) prepare grilled and roasted foods. Poissonnier (fish cook) prepares fish and seafood dishes. Le Guide Culinaire book with over 5000 menus codified by Escoffier is still used today as an encyclopedia in the culinary world.

As complimented by Germany's Kaiser Wilhelm II: "I am the Emperor of Germany, but you are the emperor of chefs" when Escoffier served on SS Imperator ship, his talent was spread beyond the border of France. His fine dining style was expanded to other cultures, from Europe to Asia. At that time, enjoying a fine dining party did not just express the way diners taste the foods prepared by leading chefs but it was also a refined and elegant lifestyle.

FINE DINING IN VIETNAMESE CULTURE

V

ietnamese cuisine provides a wide variety of classy parties. However, for Vietnamese people, a traditional party should be very complicated and requires a lot of time from the preparation to decoration and enjoying. Street foods such as bread, girdle cake or tofu with sugar sirup had been rarely served in big parties. Therefore, when Vietnam adapts the trend of simplifying every kind of food in the international refined cuisine, these popular dishes have been added into the luxurious menu with many new recipes. It's now easy to understand that one of the most favorite culinary trends in Vietnam is fine dining, in which Vietnamese foods are cooked in international style.

One of the most remarkable addresses in Vietnam to experience fine dining style is Vietnam House, which is nested in an Indochine house, built in 1910 with an old-fashioned, cage-style elevator, old veranda windows on the background of yellow brick walls. Vietnam House offers diners both street foods and traditional dishes of different regions cooked in modern and original recipes of Australia-born Vietnamese celebrity chef Luke Nguyen. Being well-known for the success of Red Lantern Vietnamese restaurants at Surry Hills, he is also the writer of Secrets Of The Red Lantern, The Songs Of Sapa, Indochine, Luke Nguyen's Greater Mekong and The Food Of Vietnam, and the host of well-known TV programs broadcasted in over 150 countries around the world about Vietnamese food as well as methods of tasting Vietnamese traditional dishes and the Mekong River Delta.

Vietnam House wins the heart of all diners due to its high quality ingredients. As shared by Chef Luke Nguyen, the restaurant's cooking is as mouthwatering as it is value-driven, often making magic out of ingredients, such as Goi Cuon with sesame seared Norwegian salmon, dill and caviar; Banh Dap with Iberico pork hand made la cam noodle and river prawn or Bo Kho with Australian beef cooked in Pho broth, served with a pea puree & Italian Black truffle.

ietnamese cuisine is not as well-set as French and Japanese dishes but the cooks take much attention to the fine combination of spices to offer the best taste. Meanwhile, fine dining style emphasizes on the refined and elegant beauty from small details perfectly combined in harmonious colors. In Vietnam House, simple dishes such as brown rice noodles wok-fried with asparagus, mushrooms and choy sum are always finely decorated to balance the colors and tastes of each plate. In addition, you can easily recognize that various recipes in the restaurant's fine dining menu are calculated carefully, even in the way of serving. Dishes are served in such a right order that gourmets can feel a perfect meal with the best combination of main and side dishes featuring the flavors of meat, rice, vegetables or soup. Vietnam House highlights Vietnamese cuisine by adapting basic elements in the classic French fine dining style and traditional methods as well as creating its own recipes to surprise every lover of Vietnamese cuisine in its posh parties.

An old corner of Hanoi In the sea of bland chains taking over Hanoi's cafä scene, people still keep their old habit of dropping by traditional ones with historic values such as Giang Cafä. Its timeworn patina and original flavors of coffee remind people of an aged and elegant Hanoi during eras long since past.

Giang is a hugely popular cafä to discover the culinary culture of Hanoians shown by its special ca phe trung, or egg coffee.

This is one of the oldest coffee shops in Hanoi. It was founded by Mr. Nguyen Van Giang, who was working as a bartender for the famous five-star Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi hotel. The egg coffee had been adapted from his recipe of cappuccino during that time. From egg coffee, egg with cocoa and egg coffee with green beans, to egg with rum and coffee, egg with beer and egg matcha, eggs are used as a main ingredient throughout the menu and it is surely one you will find unforgettable.

LAM CAF– Coffee and old paintings Away from the noisy life, you can indulge in old paintings about Hanoian people and streets and self-portraits with autographs of many painters such as Bui Xuan Phai, Duong Bich Lien and Nguyen Sang, along with works depicting musicians, writers and poets such as Van Cao, To Hoai, Nguyen Hong and The Lu. Their traditional method has been carried on from generation to generation. It's not a surprise that my English friend, Hugo, traveled thousands of kilometers to Vietnam just to try this famous coffee flavor.

LaM caF– 60 Nguyen Huu Huan, Hoan Kiem, Hanoi - 91 Nguyen Huu Huan, Hoan Kiem, Hanoi

Egg coffee will be more amazing when you enjoy it in the cold winter of Hanoi.

Egg coffee should be enjoyed hot to feel the bitter flavor of coffee and the fat and nutty taste of egg. If you have a sweet tooth, try an aromatic cup of egg with cocoa.

BASICS WITH MOON CAKE & WOODEN MOLD From September to November of each year, people in the south of Vietnam flock to catch natural specialties that are only available during their rain-rich season. And of course, local women take this occasion to prepare elegant menus of mouthwatering plates to treat their families or friends.

A

t the height of the rainy season when all fields are flooded, Siamese mud carp start to move inland to avoid rough waters in the river.

People often call them young Siamese mud carp because they are just as small as a person's finger. At the same time, when water fills up all the fields,

common sesbans (or also known as Egyptian river hemp) and water-lilies start to blossom.

Siamese mud carp yield a rich sweet flavor with soft bones that can be cooked in a myriad of different dishes, of which sour broth is the most tantalizing. It can be easily combined with some Sesbania grandi floras to Text: Phat Nguyen - Photos: Nam Chay

please any diner. Or try it with some young tamarind or fresh lime juice mixed with some basil leaves and fresh red chili, and you melt in delight over a simple bowl of broth serving with vegetable dip with caramelized fish sauce. For epicures, the sour mud carp's broth will be in its best flavor when the fish is cooked with sesbans

or water-lilies. For locals, this is a fantastic specialty because mud carps and sesbans are only available in the flooded season.

While the market is far away from home and houses are surrounded by water, southwestern people serve their guests a unique sizzling cake cooked from mud carps and common sesbans instead of bean sprouts, shrimp and pork as normal. It seems that mud carp and common sesbans are such a perfect combination that they can make any of their dishes delightful and this sizzling cake is not an exception. If common sesbans reminds us of the sour broth or sizzling cake with mud carp, water-lilies wake up our taste's buds when they are cooked with salted fish during the flood season.

Local people often choose wild waterlilies because they grow verdantly in this season. They are also sweeter and softer than the purple ones.

Salted fish sauce is simmered with coconut milk, pork belly, fresh water anabas, mullets, lemongrass and fresh red chili. Then, it is served hot with water-lilies and some other fresh salads. The deep and spicy flavor of salted fish combined with the sweet and crunchy taste of waterlilies has made it a remarkable plate of Dong Thap province during the monsoon season.

When water flows all around the fields, locals also catch many frogs at the same time by using fish traps instead of the typical tools of flashlights and rods.

Frogs are often fatter with bigger legs in this season. While Southwestern women treat their taste buds with a dish of stir-fried frog with coastal premna leaves or coconut milk, men prefer having grilled frog with lemongrass and fresh red chili.

Among specialties of the flooded season, we cannot miss dishes of harvest mice. At this time of the year, mice have no way to live but to look for high ground or tree tops to hide themselves. Mice hunters will take this chance to catch them in order to sell them for some additional income or cook them themselves in assorted scrumptious dishes.

Cao Lanh (Dong Thap province) is known as a local "wholesale market" of mice. This is also the first region to serve the aromatic roasted mouse.

Local people of the flooded region will prepare mice in several different fashions. The rodents can be stirfried, shredded, fried, boiled or cooked with lemongrass and fresh red chili served with green salads and girdle cake. However, roasted mouse is the best dish, in which its skin is crispy and its meat is as soft and fragrant as venison. Taste it once and you will understand why it has become a specialty that every visitor of Dong Thap is invited to try and why it leaves such a strong impression with so many.

Cuisine is not only the art of cooking for the southwestern people of Vietnam, but it is also a way to retain precious specialties of the flooded season.

For locals, the sour mud carps broth is a fantastic specialty because mud carps and sesbans are only available in the flooded season.

I had an appointment with Mrs. Lan Huong in an autumn day at Zen Spa (Tay Ho, Hanoi), where its owner described as "a perfect space to meet friends and for those, who love Zen style".

The romantic ambiance of the autumn and the peaceful, refined world of Zen brought me a full feeling of pleasure and comfort.

I seemed to forget that I was talking to a businesswoman, who is leading her own spa, one of the most well-known spa brand names in Vietnam.

You were born on the special Vietnamese Women's Day, October 20th, is it an interesting coincidence with the business that you are running?

When I was young, I had a passion for art and all the things related to this field. I used to learn drama, fashion design and run a business related to beauty care. I joined a spa course and got a spa certificate of London in Malaysia. I also worked for Beauty Concept International company in Hong Kong before I opened Zen Spa. While I was developing Zen Spa system, I realized that I was keen on home däcor and setting.

Let's start talking about Zen Spa! Zen Spa used to be strongly developed with a chain of spas, why did you decide to

concentrate on the only one address as present?

experiences and learn how to share with other people.

As you may know, Zen Spa has been formed and developed for 15 years with a chain of spas around famous tourist cities, from Hanoi, Cat Ba and Sapa to Hoi An and Danang.

My spas had been known by many international visitors. However, once day, I just realized many more important things. For me, making profits is not the most significant element. After over 20 years working in this field, I have had many experiences and now I want to invest my time in other values of life that I think worthier than money.

That is the reason why I decided to close other Zen spas to spend more time for myself, think about new

You might have specific reasons for this decision when Zen was prosperously developed. Could you please share us?

That's right. I used to have a major change in life. It was like sudden storms happening when the sky was still blue that swept away all the best things right in front of us. I was frightened, pity and sorrowful, but more importantly, I felt that I was existing in this life. In fact, the sun always shines after the storm. We are the same. What would you do after your house was collapsed by the storm? You would surely reconstruct a new house, which was big or small, but more stable with fewer budgets.

At present, I'm at the lowest stage of

my business compared to previous years. I like a free lifestyle with fewer principles. I want to spend time on what really makes my life more meaningful even though it is a simple thing.

Zen means meditation. What have you transformed Zen style into the spaces of Zen Spa? Zen style in the däcor of Zen Spa is the intended setting and combination of simple items such as plants, flowers and popular smells. Many items were collected during my journeys while the others were designed and made by myself with suitable materials.

Our visitors often relax and spend more time at Zen Spa drinking a cup of tea and looking at our spaces, which make them feel homey and peaceful.

For me, a beautiful house should be decorated with simple and distinctive furniture. It does not always need expensive things. Any material, even when it is old, that is reused and placed in a suitable location, can bring its own value and make the house livelier and more charming.

Many international visitors find Zen Spa on the world's prestigious websites such as Lonely Planet, Destination and NHK TV - Japan. What do you think about this?

Many international magazines wrote about Zen Spa that has drawn the attention of many international visitors in Vietnam. I remember there were two Dutch tourists, Martine and Hyrthe, who shared on Happinez magazine: "We had fantastic experiences at Zen Spa after trying its lotus flower therapy. We were totally relaxed". These positive feedbacks bring me more inspiration for creation. Currently, I choose to partnership with hotels and resorts by consulting for them to develop Zen spas in order to provide the balances and relaxed therapies for their guests.

Thank you very much for your sharing. We wish you a good health and peace.

Zen sPa Zen Spa was opened in 2003 with its aim of a peaceful and relaxed lifestyle that is nature-friendly. Beauty care products and therapies used at Zen Spa include medicinal plants, herbs, and Vietnamese traditional medicines, along with The Five Elements service.

TRANS-SIBERI A N RAILWAY

Passengers on the TransSiberian railway

destination

AROUND ONE EIGHTH OF THE WORLD The Trans-Siberian Railway, which commemorated its 100th anniversary last year, is undoubtedly one of the world's greatest railway journeys. I had a chance to witness the life on carriages and different sights off-track at its stops along the way.

I pREfERED DISCOVERING TRANS-SIbERIAN AS RUSSIANS DO AND IT SEEMED MORE NATURAL TO ME TO TRAVEL fROM EAST TO wEST.

y mother used to tell me a story about her student life, when she was assigned to study in Albania. At that time, she had to travel to the remote land of Albania by road passing through China, Mongolia and Russia, which was of course at the time known as the Soviet Union. She took a train for the first time in her life alongon a route that was part of the longest railway in the world named the Trans-Siberian Railway. Images of verdant taiga forests and immense Baikal lake along that route are still in her mind until now. She also told me of Russian girls putting on red

M

boots filled with white snow and large grasslands expanding to the horizon in Mongolia. Though not mine, there were my first memories of the TransSiberian railway.

After crossing Siberia, the TransSiberian route divides into three different routes: the Trans-Siberian Route, the Trans-Mongolian Route and the Trans-Manchurian Route (China). Most tourists take the Trans-Siberian route from May to November asit gets extremely cold in winter.

On the longest route, the TransSiberian Route, most of passengers will start from Moscow, which has

been seen as a classic route, and then go from the west to the east of Russia to Vladivostok. To make your journey more exciting, plan to get off the train at some stopovers to explore different landscapes because you can stop at any station along the route.

ACROSS 5000KM FROM THE EAST TO THE WEST I decided to start my Trans-Siberian journey going in the opposite direction, from the east to the west.

I had some reasons for that. Firstly, I would not finish the route to Moscow, where I used to live for a long time because I wanted to spend

my time at other destinations that I had never been to. In addition, I prefered seeing the Trans-Siberian rail as Russians do and so it seemed more natural to me to travel from east to west. Vladivostok was a perfect place to start my experience instead of the crowded city of Moscow.

AND MY JOURNEY BEGAN...

Vladivostok is definitely unlike what you may imagine about Siberia.

With its location near the east pole by the Pacific Ocean and featuring a hill terrain, this small city showcases a large number of right-hand drive

cars and Japanese electronics. It has both a port and fleet of vessels occupying it. If you go around the city, you will see so many tourists, Korean, Japanese and Chinese traders and Asian locals that you will be able to feel a part of a multiethnic Russia when you start your journey from the East.

I got on the train at nearly midnight after two days wandering around the downtown and outskirts of Vladivostok. The train started as scheduled and we passengers started to fall into sleep.

The Trans-Siberian is certainly no tourist train, neither in the past

nor now. Tsar Alexander III fully understood the importance of uniting the huge Russian continent when he ordered work on the Trans-Siberian to commence in 1891. Since it linked Russia from the European side to other regions in the east, the new railway would open up vast tracts of mineral-rich land beyond the Urals, provide a convenient way to ship convicts off to Siberia and enable the swift movement of troops to the Amur region which was under increasing threat from the Chinese. This Trans-Siberian railway panorama exhibited at the Paris exposition in 1900 surprised audiences from all over the world.

AT EVERY STOpOVER Of TRANS-SIbERIAN, wE bUMpED Up AGAINST LIfE IN THE MIDDLE Of NOwHERE IN SIbERIA, AND THEN, IN AN INSTANT, LEfT IT bEHIND AGAIN. he train is usually booked solid and provides a vital service for Russians, Mongolians and Chinese who can't afford a plane or who need to transport large quantities of luggage. Each passenger has a different demand but I always choose the cheapest ticket. It is not for saving money but rather it is the most interesting carriage as it allows one to feel and explore the real life of locals and converse with them.

T

In the Russian train system, inexpensive and open carriages are called platskart. Each platskart carriage is composed of 40 berths. Passengers on platskart often talk about their stories, games, foods and drinks.

Although this shared carriage cannot bring you much privacy, it is where you can experience the most original local culture.

One hundred years ago, when the first through trains started running all the way to Vladivostok, the brochures depicted marble baths, gymnasiums and even a darkroom for developing photographs! The reality was different:

breakdowns, no restaurant cars and frequent broken rails. Today the conditions are somewhat better. Although it does not have a bathroom, its restroom is always kept clean even when it is used by a large number of passengers. Each carriage is equipped with a big samovar of boiled water for passengers to make tea or instant noodles. You can buy instant noodles or some snacks, tea and coffee in each carriage. In addition, you can order foods at some carriages with a restaurant. Most of the Russians I met who were using the Trans-Siberian railway were familiar to this means. They often bring foods and other necessaritties for their journey.

I woke up early since I felt the darkness was slowly being wiped away. The moment that I was lying on the train and viewing the sun rising from the window was fantastic. The world outside was dyed in a pinky purple color and then turned into orange. The sun shined through thick dew as clouds floating at the horizon creating miraculous

sceneries. The train stopped at many stations along the way. Sometimes, it stopped for 10 - 15 - 20 minutes, just enough for us to walk around and buy some foods from kiosks.

At every stopover of Trans - Siberian, we bumped up against life in the middle of nowhere in Siberia, and then, in an instant, left it behind again.

IMPRESSIVE PICTURE OUT OF THE WINDOW I woke up late to find a brilliantly sunny day on the other day. It was the bright sunshine and the noise of little children that woke me up.

I looked around my carriage and realized that most of passengers here went with an average of two children. The kids always surrounded and talked to me. Sometimes, they peeped at me because they rarely saw a foreigner, who could speak Russian. Surprisingly, these kids seemed to be very used to getting on the train and independent about related activities. They definitelly did not worry other passengers.

UNIQUE RAILWAY The Trans-Siberian railway is the most impressive railway of the world and boasts numerous remarkable highlights: > Russia is the biggest country of the world with a cover area that doubles the USA. > The total route of Trans-Siberian is 9,289km running between Moscow and Vladivostok making it one of the world's longest railways. If you travel non-stop, it will take you about 146 hours that are 6 days and 6 nights to travel through Siberia in Russia. > Siberia has more than 30% of all the green trees in the world > Baikal lake along the Trans-Siberian route is the world's deepest, oldest and largest freshwater lake, containing 20% of the world's total fresh water.

Green grasslands with brave wild horses.

The train was rattling along. The scenery out of the window was more and more appealing. We passed by immense grasslands, cold taiga forests and brilliant birch trees. By the curves of rivers appeared small and big villages dotted with little wooden huts, each with a wisp of smoke curling up from the chimney along the sunny green rolling hills as if it was taken out from fairy tales. In addition to that, numerous wild plants blossomed in the warm summer of Siberia. It was as if you were watching a film in slow motion.

I totally lost the feeling of time on the Trans-Siberian railway. Each day, when you woke up, I would think "where am I and what time is it now?". You quickly change the time on your smartphone, watch or filming devices nearly everyday!

Yes, I was traveling on the longest railway journey and we had crossed seven time zones, across the width of the world's biggest country, which expands through 10 time-belts. It seemed to be crazy but fabulous!

The endless blue background of Baikal lake

INDULGE IN BAIKAL LAKE - THE GEM OF SIBERIA Just to make things less confusing, all Trans-Siberian trains run to Moscow time. After nearly three days, or 62 hours, I arrived at my first stop: UlanUde, the capital city of the Republic of Buryatia, Russia. At this time, it seemed that my hair had turned to straw after many days without being washed.

U

lan-Ude is well-known for a large and highly unusual statue of the head of Vladimir Lenin in the central square: the largest in the world.

The Republic of Buryatia is like a small Mongolia with local people sharing the same culture and blood of Mongolians, green grasslands spreading through many hills, and brave wild horses accentuating the scene. This is also the center of Shamanism and the Buddhism center of Russia with Tibetan Buddhist stupas and pagodas in abbundance.

Saying a farewell to Ulan-Ude and its neighboring villages, I continued the next leg of my journeyto Irkutsk, the most important stopover of this railway.

Irkutsk is 448km from Ulan-Ude. The most interesting experience of

passengers at this leg is a chance to view Baikal lake through the car windows. The train ran a long way around the southern bank of the lake. Baikal lake is so large that it takes a few hours to get through this leg of the trip and I felt like I was moving along the seashore most of the time.

I stopped at Irkutsk to travel to Olkhon, the fourth-largest lake-bound island in the world to experience Baikal lake.

To conjure up the island in your mind, let's imagine a region that has a larger cover area than Singapore in the middle of Baikal lake. I put up a tent to stay overnight under the cliff by the lake in order to witness the sunrise on the following morning. Amidst the sound of waves and birds singing to greet a new day, I washed my face with the freezing and crystal water of the lake. The lake's water is so pure that you can drink directly without boiling or ďŹ ltering it.

To me, Olkhon is like a small picture of Siberia. The island is embellished with taiga primeval forests, which provide shelter to wild animals, spacious green grasslands as in Mongolia, and sand dunes like the deserts or cliffs in the endless blue background of Baikal lake.

FURTHER INFORMATION VIsA ñ It is not difficult to apply for a visa to Russia but it may take a longer time the normal. You will have to submit all documents at least a month before your journey because they will approve your documents within 20 working days. Documents to submit to the consulate include an Invitation Letter (done by a Russian agent at $50/person), schedule, ticket booking, accommodation and standard insurance. Papers related to finance are not strictly required as visas to western European countries. Tourist visas are normally valid for a month. ñ If you travel in groups, you are advised to call to the consulate and book a date. If not, you should go as early as possible.

Since it's not difficult to be approved, you can go to the bank to transfer the visa fee before you submit. This will help you to save time. Your documents will be processed right after that.

TRANsPoRTATIoN ñ Air tickets: You should plan your journey early to book air tickets in advanced. Sometimes, Vietnam Airlines and Aeroflot offer cheap prices at $500-$600 for return tickets between Hanoi and Moscow. Return tickets between Hanoi and Vladivostok are about $500/ ticket offered by S7 airlines. ñ Train tickets: You should book train tickets as early as possible, especially in the high season. You can visit www.rzd. ru to book online. Because it is a Russian website, you should know Russian or ask someone who can speak Russian to help booking. You can also book tickets at tourist agents or middle websites with an extra service charge. In addition, you can buy tickets directly at the train station in Russia, but you will have less chance to get a good seat. ñ Moscow - Vladivostok train tickets will range from $1,130/ ticket for the first kupe class (two berths) and $480/ticket for the second kupe class (four berths) and $265/ticket for platskart class.

ACCommodATIoN ñ Apart from nights sleeping on the train, you can book a room among an array of hostels, homestays and well-

112

TRAVELLIVE

appointed hotels in Russian cities. Room prices are posted on international booking pages except for remote areas. Russians often book for accommodation on some websites such as Booking.com.

After the econimic crisis, the accommodation price in Russia went down and brought many more options to tourists. Each double room is often priced from $20/night. ñ Average expense: In addition to train and air tickets, the average expense of every visitor ranges about $30 - $50/day.

BEsT TImE To TRAVEL ñ The best time to travel here is from May to September. During the winter, the temperate may be -40 degree Celcius.

However, some tourists prefer going this time to witness the beauty of frozen Baikal lake.

WHERE To sToP? ñ Irkutsk city and then Baikal lake are must-see sights.

Depending on your time and demand, you can stop at other big cities along the way and then go to off-track destinations if you like.

WHAT To BRING? ñ You should prepare before the journey or buy along the route some snacks such as cheese, biscuits, instant noodles, fruits, tea and coffee bags.

Vodka is not sold at stations but Russian passengers will know where to buy it! ñ For your hygiene, you are advised to bring wet tissues, a small cup and bath towel because they are not available on trains,there are only bath tubs and flush toilet. Bathrooms are only available on the first class carriages of the TransMongolian Express. ñ Bring a book, ipad or any device that can help to fill up your free hours on the train. ñ It's wise to prepare cash because you can't use your credit card everywhere, for instant, buying foods at roadside kiosks. sPECIAL NoTICE ñ Before you get off the train at stopovers, you should ask about the break duration at that station. The train will not wait for you before it continues the journey. There are always some tourists left behind.

TO ME, SIbERIA IS SO VAST THAT I CANNOT DISCOVER ENOUGH Of IT, EVEN IN MY wHOLE LIfE. LAST LEG OF THE JOURNEY My Trans-Siberian journey finished at Novosibirsk city, about 1,855km from Irkutsk, or a day and a half by train. This was the third largest city of Russia and the biggest center of science and industry of Siberia. From this city, I had to take another railway heading to the south of Siberia to continue my long journey.

To me, Siberia is so vast that I cannot discover enough of it, even in my whole life. On the Trans-Siberian railway, you will see that Siberia is not only about taiga forests and the extreme coldness as you might imagine. I believe that for anyone, who ever steps on this endless train will find their own Siberia.

Trains rattling through Siberian wild lands have been operating day and night along the key railways between the east and the west for more than 100 years to serve nessessary transportation demand of Russians.

secret landscape of Xinjiang is slowly revealed to many tourists through its stories of a free nomadic lifestyle, miraculous turquoise lakes and white mountain ranges capped with snow all year round. In addition, seasonal color changes embellish the landscapefor a perfect wonderland on earth.

Xinjiang, an autonomous region of China, has a unique terrain which is formed by three mountains, Kunlun Mountain, Pamir Mountain and Tianshan Mountain. In the 7th century, Chinese Buddhist monk, Chen Xuanzang stopped at this region for a period of time before he overcame dangerous snowy mountains for his mission to Tianzhu (an ancient Chinese name for India) to bring a set of Buddhist scriptures back to China. Before that time, when Guangwudi of the Han dynasty ruled the land west up to the border of modern Afghanistan, the Silk Road was improved and enlarged. Xinjiang became a crowded trading crossroads to exchange local specialties from all over the world.

LANdSCApe of UYGHUR peopLe The north of Tianshan Mountain is entirely settled by the Uyghur people and some other ethnic groups. In history, "Uyghur" was used to talk about ethnic groups that spoke Turkish as their language in the Altay mountain range. Although Xinjiang and Turkey are two different regions, Uyghur and Turkish people share similar language and culture because they were both originated from Turkic groups.

Visitors often start their journey at the gateway of Xinjiang, Urumqi capital city, also known as the "land farthest from the sea". This city, which is the home of different ethnic groups, including Han, Uyghur, Hui and Kazakhs, enchants tourists with its crowded atmosphere provided by a large number of traders who crowd the city just as they 2000 years ago.

Uyghur ethnic people account for about 45% of the total population of Xinjiang with diverse appearances. Some people are short with dark skin, black hair and small eyes while some others are tall with fair skin, colored eyes, straight noses and blonde or brown hair. These are results of the Arabian, Roman, Greek and Persian residents on the Silk Road from over a thousand years. It's the historic cultural mälange that has formed the colorful and original culture of the Uyghur people with Turkish-Central Asian dances and traditional dances of the modern Han. Uyghur people used to be a battle-tested, brave and strong army mastering skills of riding horses and using bows as Mongolians.

dIveRSe ANd mULtI-CoLoRed CULtURe in Chinese means "a new border"and it has had its name since the 18th century during the Qing dynasty. This region features a complex terrain which is formed by the green grasslands of Mongol scattered with the nomadic tents of local people. This land has the appearance of Central Asia with vestiges of ancient citadels, there aresigns of Europe with sparkling color carpets and a presence of Middle East made by solemn mosques.

Xinjiang wears a new coat every season. Spring is beautified with peach and plum blossoms while summer is dyed with the purple color of aromatic lavender flowers in Ili (a prefecture of Xinjiang), and yellow sunflowers and sugar-beet flowers in the sunshine. Tarim river is picturesque in autumn and astounds guests while yellow and red leaf carpets are reflected in turquoise lakes. The breathtaking scenery is shown in magnificent colors, the beauty of which no painter can express sufficiently in their work.

Meanwhile, the winter in Xinjiang astonishes visitors with images of cattle shriveled up next to warm cloth tents at the foot of mighty snowy mountains. Xinjiang is mysterious and pristine due to not only its natural colors of plants, lakes and immense snowy mountains, but also outstanding tectonic lands that were written into legends. Here and there, mounds of different heights and many ancient castles of the Middle Ages draw ones imagination about the appearance of the "devil".

Legend has it that these castles were formed by dry climate and sand storms. Strong winds carved shapes of stone and made them look like imposing palaces in the desert or a big ship overcoming high waves.

However, some stones were shaped as disgusting faces of devils.

In modern days, although Xinjiang is an outback landscape that is strictly controlled by Chinese government, it can't stop tourists flocking to this destination to unlock a true paradise on earth.

ITINERARy Ăą Visitors often start their journey at Urumqi capital city to discover Xinjiang. You can fly from Vietnam to Xinjiang with a transit at big Chinese cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu and Guangzhou. You can book a ticket of China Southern Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, China Air or some routes connected with Vietnam Airlines. Return tickets range 12-20 million VND. Ăą Another way to Urumqi is by car to experience Karakoram street. Guests will travel by local bus from Rawalpindi city of Pakistan to Kashgar of Xinjiang, a route of 1,300km.

TRANsPoRTATIoN You can rent a car and discuss your itinerary with the driver to visit famous attractions in Xinjiang. Since this region is insecure, drivers will help you to register at some checkpoints along the way. This will help to save your time. With a rented car, you can stop at different beautiful sights.

ACTIVITIEs Since Xinjiang is an autonomous region covering a large area of the country, visitors will not be able to discover enough of it within two weeks. If you love natural sights, you can visit the north of Xinjiang. If you would like to discover historical vestiges with Silk Road, you are advised to go to the south of Xinjiang to the spacious deserts.

ACCommodATIoN In order to ensure the safety of foreign tourists, Xinjiang government only allows some hotels to serve international guests. You should collect information before you book a room or you can ask your local driver to help. Hotels in Urumqi and other urban areas are often strictly controlled by securities. A double room at 2-3 start hotels in Xinjiang is priced from VND450,000 - VND600,000. You can book a tent or homestay at from VND150,000 - 200,000/person.

Food The food in Xinjiang is spicier than other dishes served in mainland Chinese. They often use round baguettes, lamb and goat meat instead of rice in their daily meals. You can easily see a Chinese restaurant around Xinjiang. Fruits such as apples, pears, plums, peaches, grapes and pomegranate are also specialties of Xinjiang.

CLImATE Terrain in Xinjiang is quite complex with permanent snowy mountains in the north that brings cold weather to the whole area. Some streets are even filled with ice during the summer. In the south, the climate is so dry and hot in summer that the temperature may reach 45 degree Celsius. The best time to visit Xinjiang is in autumn or spring, when it is cool and the nature is embellished with colorful carpets of flowers and ginkgoes. sECURITy Although Xinjiang is considered as an insecure autonomous region of China, it is still safe enough for foreign tourists. The Chinese government has checkpoints everywhere, especially in crowded areas such as markets, airports, tourist sights and highway systems.

THE ANCESTRAL TRADITION OF INDIGO DYEING AND BATIK WITH THE HAVE BEEN LIVING IN SAPA, VIETNAM FOR OVER 300 YEARS, THE H'MONG ARE THE LARGEST ETHNIC GROUP IN SAPA AND MAKE UP JUST OVER HALF OF THE POPULATION. PHOTOGRAPHER R–HAHN VISITED A H'MONG GROUP IN PA CO, A VILLAGE LOCATED IN HOA BINH PROVINCE, WHERE HE DISCOVERED THE ANCESTRAL TRADITION OF INDIGO DYEING AND BATIK.

She has been practicing the batik style since the young age of fifteen and has become an expert in her trade, despite being younger than most batik masters.

H'Mong women, like Sung Y Xia, can make dye from the indigo plant to produce the distinctive dark blue colored fabric that is typical of the ethnic minorities of Sapa. Historically, this blue dye was used by the H'Mong to dye their clothes and to make coats for their children to wear, which they would be pass down for generations.

Today many locals in Pa Co make the beautiful blue tinted fabric to sell to be used in products in Hanoi and other areas of Vietnam and the practice represents greater financial opportunities for these ethnic groups.

Indigo dye can be extracted from several plants, but because the indigo plant is more widely available, it is therefore more commonly used. Over three hundred different species have been identified but the Indigo tinctoria and I. suifruticosa are the most common and belong to the legume family.

The

indigo plants of the H'Mong are grown and harvested on the hillsides next to their homes and when fermented and oxidized, a blue dye can be made from its leaves. Making good quality indigo dye requires a lot of experience, quality ingredients and time and the whole process can take as long as ten days to one month to complete.

To make the dye, leaves from the indigo tree are harvested and soaked for three days in a container with water from a clean stream. The leaves are then removed and the colored water is kept and lime is added. This liquid is stirred gently until a green/yellow layer appears on its surface, which usually takes a few hours. Once the liquids sediment has settled at the bottom of the barrel, ash from good quality wood, rice soup, water and alcohol are added to the mixture. The liquid must be mixed for four to ďŹ ve days until bubbles appear. These bubbles are a sign of a successful Batik dye making process.

Once the dye has been prepared the Batik master can use beeswax and special tools to draw patterns and designs into hemp fabric, a process that can take one to two months. The hemp material is covered in beeswax and tools are used to remove the beeswax from the cloth in patterns or designs. The fabric is then soaked in the Batik dye and left to dry in the sun. The beeswax acts as a protective layer when the fabric is dyed and only the areas on which it has been scraped away take the color of the Batik dye. This process can be repeated many times to create beautiful and complex multicolored designs. The more a fabric is mixed with the dye and the more it is worked on, the darker it becomes.

Black H'Mong fabrics are achieved by repeating the dying process repeatedly, usually twice a day for a month. This process is the reason why many H'Mong women have blue hands, because they have been stained permanently by the indigo dye.
