Zigui County, Yichang City, known as the “Hometown of Chinese Dragon Boats” and “Hometown of Chinese Poetry”, is one of the birthplaces of Chu culture and the hometown of Qu Yuan, the great patriotic poet of Chu during the Warring States Period. In 340 BC, Qu Yuan was born in Leping, Zigui County, a beautiful mountainous area. He wrote poems such as “Li Sao”, “Nine Chapters” and “Nine Songs” throughout his life. Listed as a world cultural celebrity. Located in the cultural tourism area of ​​Quyuan’s hometown in Phoenix Mountain, Zigui County, it is the best place to view the Three Gorges Dam and the Gaoxia Pinghu, with the Gaoxia Pinghu in the north, the new county town of Zigui in the west and the south, and the Three Gorges Dam in the east. As the only national 5A tourist attraction in Zigui County, Quyuan’s Hometown Cultural Tourism Area is not as well-known as the Three Gorges Dam, but its cultural heritage is exceptionally profound. The archway of Quyuan Temple built in the tenth year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty is a landmark building in the old county town of Zigui, and it is also an extremely rare wooden archway in Hubei. There are two stone tablets on the left side of the archway, which are inscribed “The Hometown of Dr. Chu Yuan” and “The Hometown of Emperor Zhao of Han”. A small county in the south of the Yangtze River actually emerged from the world’s cultural celebrity Qu Yuan and the national peace envoy Wang Zhaojun, two outstanding figures in the annals of history. According to reports, during the construction of the Three Gorges Project, 24 ground cultural relics on the Xiajiang River, represented by Quyuan Temple and Jiangdu Temple, were relocated here. In the scenic area, you can not only feel the splendid achievements of the Three Gorges Project in the protection of cultural heritage, but also appreciate the wonderful and romantic Quyuan culture and the Xiajiang culture, attracting many experts, scholars and tourists every day. It is worth mentioning that Qu Yuan’s hometown was not here at the beginning. After Chu State was attacked by the Qin Army, Qu Yuan went to the Miluo River to die for the country, and his body was buried on the beach between Zigui and Xiangxi, and later named “Qu Yuantuo”. “. In the Tang Dynasty, people built Qu Yuan Temple on Tuo. Since then, the people of Zigui will race dragon boats on Qu Yuan Tuo every year during the Dragon Boat Festival to soothe Qu Yuan Zhongling. This custom has continued to this day. In recent years, due to the construction of the Gezhouba Water Control Project and the Three Gorges Project on the Yangtze River, Qu Yuan’s hometown has also moved to the current Phoenix Mountain. Today, the Xiangluping, Reading Cave, Zhaomianjing, Yubansanw and other relics in the scenic spot are all restored in the original site of Qu Yuan’s hometown. The above picture is a “Zhaomianjing” made of silver-gray keel stone, which is said to be Qu Yuan’s childhood. Shi Zhaoying freshened up. Founded in the fifteenth year of Tang Yuanhe (820 years), Quyuan Temple, also known as Qingliegong Temple, is the earliest Quyuan Temple in Zigui. The entire building complex is composed of the mountain gate, the front hall, Qu Yuan’s cloak, Qu Yuan memorial hall, and the east-west stele gallery. The “Heaven and Earth” plaque above the lintel symbolizes the great spirit of Qu Yuan, shining like the sun and the moon. In May 2006, Qu Yuan Temple was announced as the sixth batch of national key cultural relics protection units. Since its opening in 2010, Quyuan’s Hometown Cultural Tourism Zone has formed the Quyuan Cultural Theme Park with Quyuan Temple, Quyuan Garment Tomb, and Quyuan Sacrificial Activities as its main contents. In November 2014, Quyuan’s Hometown Cultural Tourism Zone was rated as a national 5A-level scenic spot, becoming the fourth in Yichang City and the first 5A-level scenic spot in Zigui County. If you have the opportunity, you might as well come here.

Fisherman Le Thanh Danh (51 years old, Yen Hai village) is excited: Starting at 3 am, we sailed to the sea to drop nets. Recently, I caught about 20 kg of crabs of all kinds. With the selling price of 50 – 70 thousand VND / kg of 3-eyed crabs, 180 – 220 thousand VND / kg of green crabs, I earned nearly 2 million VND. In production conditions that are somewhat difficult due to the epidemic, Trinh Van Chuong’s family (Yen Lieu village) still has money to go to the fields thanks to the trips to sea. “These days, Xuan Yen fishermen mainly go to the sea to exploit crabs. Like this trip, I also earned 1.5 million dong after only 4 hours of fishing, “- Mr. Chuong shared. After the boat reaches the shore, family members will work together to remove the crabs from the net. This work requires meticulous, careful because if the crab is broken, it will be depreciated. At this time, crabs are sold at quite high prices, from 70 to 220 thousand VND/kg depending on the type, so people are very excited. In addition to crabs, fishermen also catch a lot of cuttlefish, with an average weight of 2-4 kg/head. With prices ranging from 200 to 220 thousand VND/kg, only cuttlefish have an income of 2 million VND after each trip. These trips also brought back a lot of mantis shrimp for fishermen in Xuan Yen commune. This type of seafood is sold for 100,000 VND/kg, which also contributes to increasing income for people. After removing the net, classifying, seafood will be purchased by small traders on the spot.

Distressed! The bad news is coming! A well-known calligrapher and painter in Fujian drowned while rowing a dragon boat! Haidu Media’s reporters learned that on the afternoon of June 14 near Guangming Port in Fuzhou, a dragon boat capsized and broke. Several dragon boat riders fell into the water and one person was missing. The pictures in this article are all pictures of the WeChat official account of the Straits Metropolis Daily According to the relevant person in charge of the Fuzhou Red Cross Dawn Rescue Corps in Fujian Province, the rescue team received a notice from the police from Xingang Police Station in Taijiang District at about 2 pm on the day of the incident, asking them to cooperate in the rescue. At about 4 pm, the rescue team arrived at the scene. At that time, the dragon boat was submerged by the river, and the team members immediately started salvaging. Towards the evening, the rescue team first fished out the first half of the dragon boat, and it was not until 9 o’clock in the evening that the second half of the dragon boat was picked up. As for the cause of the sinking, the person in charge said that the dragon boat may collide when passing the sluice on the river surface, which caused a tragedy. At about 10 o’clock that night, after search and rescue by the Fujian Provincial Star Rescue Team and Fujian Shuguang Rescue Team, the missing persons had been salvaged ashore.

According to people familiar with the matter, the dragon boat team was organized by Xiamen University alumni. The deceased was a native of Fuzhou, Fujian. He was a young Chinese calligrapher and painter, a stone seal carver, an art designer, a senior Chinese music singer and composer, and a member of the Fujian Artists Association. He has won many national awards.

The location of the incident was near Guangming Bridge, because he was dressed in ancient costumes and did not wear a life jacket.

Currently, the police have been involved in the investigation.

In terms of sectors, the electronics and automotive sectors bucked the market and rose, while the leisure services and non-ferrous metals sectors fell by more than 3%.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the rainy season rained and wet the A shares. The high shock before the holiday was “inspiring”, and the plunge after the holiday was “sad”. On June 15, the first trading day after the Dragon Boat Festival, the performance of A shares was “unsatisfactory.” The two markets traded over one trillion yuan, and large market value stocks plummeted significantly.

What is the main logic of the A-share market opening on the first day after the holiday? From the perspective of fundamentals, valuation, liquidity, etc., what is the expected A-share market in the second half of the year? How to choose between large, medium and small market value and sectors?

“International Finance News” reporter interviewed several industry insiders. In their opinion, the current A-shares do not have the conditions for the index to rise sharply, and the hotspots collectively fell again, and the index continued to wash up and gather momentum. The upward momentum of the economy is still weak, liquidity is restricted, and equity market valuations are not low. In the second half of the year, income expectations should be lowered.

The first day after the holiday market “green fat red thin”

On June 15th, the three major A-share indexes rebounded slightly after falling in early trading, and then maintained a low and volatile trend, and the decline narrowed. As of the close, they all fell by about 1%. The Kechuang 50 Index bucked the market and opened higher and then fell back to close up.

In terms of sectors, the electronics and automotive sectors bucked the market and rose, while the leisure services and non-ferrous metals sectors fell by more than 3%. The performance of individual stocks was “green, fat, red and thin”, with 1351 individual stocks rising and 67 daily limit stocks; 2913 individual stocks falling, and 27 falling limit stocks.

In terms of popularity, the turnover of the two cities exceeded one trillion yuan, a slight decrease from the last trading day before the holiday. The net outflow of Beishang capital was 5.2 billion yuan, mainly reducing its holdings of WuXi AppTec, Zijin Mining, Ping An, etc., each of which exceeded 500 million yuan; Beishang capital also “started” Yanghe shares and BYD, and the net sales were about approximately 300 million yuan.

In the first half of the year, a total of 208.3 billion yuan of net inflows of funds from the north, including 88.8 billion yuan in Shanghai Stock Connect. Since June, the net inflow of funds from Beijing to Beijing is 1.5 billion yuan, of which Shenzhen Stock Connect has a net inflow of 1.4 billion yuan.

What is the main reason for the market decline after the holiday?

Qianming Asset Management Fund Manager Bai Yi analyzed to a reporter from the International Finance News that today’s market’s hot cyclical stocks and the concept of Hongmeng fell collectively, and the bull market trend sector securities also appeared to sell off. The deep-seated logic is that there are currently no conditions for the index to rise sharply, and the hotspots collectively fell again, so the index continues to wash up and gather momentum.

“The Shanghai Index fell below the 20th line on the first day after the Dragon Boat Festival, which exceeded most investors’ expectations.” Liu Youhua, head of research on private equity rownets, also told reporters that in terms of popularity, the turnover of the two markets still exceeded one trillion yuan. , The market is still hot, but structural opportunities are more difficult to grasp. In terms of liquidity, over-issuance of foreign currencies has led to global inflation expectations, while the continuous appreciation of the renminbi has led to continued inflows of foreign capital. This expectation will still exist in the second half of the year. From the perspective of individual stock fundamentals, the profitability of most individual stocks has improved, and the semi-annual report will be the focus of the market.

Wang Jiang, general manager of Yuanrong Investment’s stock department, said in an interview with a reporter from the International Finance News that the market tends to choose the direction of least resistance in the short term, which has a certain degree of randomness. On the macro level, the market focuses on US employment data. If employment is weak, the expected contraction of the balance sheet will be delayed, which is conducive to the stability of the valuation level. However, as time goes by, the window of desensitization of inflation data and employment data has not yet recovered is being consumed, and as the Fed’s interest rate meeting approaches, the market will inevitably be worried. “As far as the second half of the year is concerned, there are macro variables, and the current equity market valuation is hardly cheap, and it is reasonable to reduce income expectations. In terms of sectors, the optional consumption branch in the increase in penetration rate and the disturbance of raw material prices The sub-manufacturing sectors that have little real impact can be paid attention to.”

How to switch between large and small market capitalization opportunities

In the first half of the year, the Shanghai Composite Index rose more than 4%, the ChiNext Index rose more than 11%, and the Shanghai and Shenzhen 300 Index and the China Securities 1000 Index both rose more than 2%. Since June, there has been a significant gap in the index of individual stocks representing large, medium and small market capitalization. The Shanghai and Shenzhen 300 Index fell nearly 1% during the year, the Shanghai 50 Index fell more than 3%, and the CSI 1000 Index rose 2.5%.

How to choose large, medium and small market capitalization stocks in the second half of the year?

“Currently, large blue chips and Baotuan stocks are at historical highs, and the probability of shock adjustments in the second half of the year is relatively high; but small market capitalization, second-tier blue chips, and the financial sector are again in the historical underestimation range, and there is an upward trend in the second half of the year. The biggest opportunity in the second half of the year. The risk is the valuation of U.S. stocks, which severely restricts the rise of the big blue chips of A shares.” Bai Yixiang “International Finance” reporter estimated that in terms of liquidity, the central bank is expected to continue to implement moderate monetary policy, and foreign capital will continue to flow into A shares. tendency. On the whole, the index fluctuated more in the second half of the year. Focus on the upside opportunities of undervalued companies. On the sector, it is recommended to pay attention to TMT, domestic substitution, and post-epidemic sectors such as tourism, airports, ports, etc.

Lang Chengcheng, director of the research department of Furong Fund, bluntly stated to the reporter of “International Finance” that the market was mainly high and volatile last week, and structurally small and medium-sized market capitalization companies rose at the top. In fact, since May, from the rotation of large market value companies to small and medium market value companies, both types of companies have seen a certain degree of rise. The core logic is to restore the pessimistic expectations of liquidity. “As the semi-annual report and the 100th anniversary of the founding of the party approach, the round of rising prices may have reached the middle and late stages, and market volatility will increase. Small and medium-sized market value companies under the catalysis of the theme should be treated with caution.

“In the short-term, it is recommended to moderately control the investment rhythm, and be optimistic about low-value banks and some cyclical leaders; in the medium and long term, performance growth is still the core main line, and we are optimistic about the high-period cycle of electronics and electronics.” Lang Chengcheng further analyzed, economic fundamentals. Financing data reflect that the upward momentum of the economy is still weak, the scale of new social financing has fallen sharply year-on-year, and the year-on-year growth rate of the stock of social financing has also continued to decline. The South China Industrial Products Index has risen to a high level again. Last week, the US CPI rose by 5% year-on-year in May, exceeding expectations and setting the largest increase since August 2008. However, the yield of Treasury bonds has continued to decline since then. Compared with inflation, the Fed pays more attention to employment and economic recovery, focusing on the Fed’s interest rate meeting this week.

Institutional view: not overly optimistic in the second half of the year

In terms of sectors, cyclical stocks such as steel, mining, chemical, non-ferrous metals and other cyclical stocks ranked first in the year’s component range (total market value weighted average), with a rise of more than 14%; non-banking finance, defense and military industry, and household appliances all fell more than 11%.

In terms of price-to-earnings ratio PE (TTM, holistic approach), science and technology sectors such as computers, national defense and military industries, transportation, communications, electronics, and medical biology exceed 50 times, of which media, leisure services, and integrated sectors exceed 240 times. The lower valuations are steel, mining, non-banking finance, etc., less than 20 times, and banking, building decoration, and real estate sectors are less than 10 times.

How to choose sector investment in the second half of the year?

Chen Li, chief economist of Chuancai Securities and director of the research institute, predicts that in the second half of the year, sector rotation will become more frequent and structural differentiation will continue. Unlike last year’s single valuation drive and the dominant performance drive in the first half of this year, the market in the second half of the year will no longer be a competition among various industries, and more inclined to comparisons within the industry, with low internal valuations and growth rates. The fast company will become the leader, and vice versa, it will continue to fall. For example, the growth of mid-to-high-end liquor in the liquor industry is expected to have strong certainty; under the background of “carbon neutrality”, the new energy industry is expected to diverge, focusing on both the technological path and cost advantages; Pay attention to the three links.

Looking ahead to the second half of the A-share market, the strategy team of Ping An Securities predicts that the overall market will fluctuate upwards in the second half of the year, and will lay out structural opportunities for growth styles. The economy is basically facing the upward pressure of the market, and there are corresponding constraints on liquidity. However, continued favorable policies and funding levels in the second half of the year are expected to continue to increase risk appetite. Equity valuation is not overly optimistic from the perspective of equity-bond yield ratio and earnings expectations. . It is recommended to pay attention to the proliferation of new energy vehicles, new energy, semiconductors, new chemical materials, biomedicine and other industries, as well as the proliferation of investment opportunities for more companies in the high-prosperity industry chain.

Northeast Securities bluntly stated that the leading factor in the market in the second half of the year will be the topping of profits, and the overall market valuation will be difficult to increase, and low-value and high-prosperity industries will prevail. The market fluctuated in the second half of the year. From the perspective of profit calculations, the profit growth rate in the second half of the year is decreasing quarter by quarter. In terms of funding, the US Taper expectations and the decline in domestic credit entering the second half of the year led to tight macro liquidity in the second half of the year; the stock market remained neutral in the second half of the year, mainly due to the increase in the issuance of new funds at the inflow side and the slowdown in foreign capital inflows. The outflow-end IPO fundraising rose, and the lifting of the ban fell. In terms of valuation and sentiment, the advantages of small and medium-cap valuations are obvious and the position of individual stocks is still low; Sino-US relations and credit risks may still suppress risk appetite.

Han Can Yi Ye was photographed in Ningbo, Zhejiang. In everyone’s impression, the quality of seafood in Zhejiang is quite good, but this piece of sea yellow is a bit regrettable. But there is such a place, for the people of Zhejiang, it is a pure place outside the world. Not only is the water clear and blue, the island scenery is charming, there is also a quiet small fishing village, and delicious seafood feasts that make people mouth-watering. Seeing this, many friends may ask: “Why are there not many people who have been to such a good place, and there are no large-scale reports on the Internet?” The main reason is its unique geographical location. I will slowly introduce you to this special island. Xiangshan County, under the jurisdiction of Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, is located on the coast of the East my country Sea, with abundant marine fishery and tourism resources. There are many islands in the sea area to which Xiangshan Mountain belongs, and Yushan Islands is one of them. It is located in the sea area southeast of Xiangshan Mountain, 27 nautical miles away from the famous Xiangshan Shipu Town, and the straight-line distance is about 45 kilometers. The Yushan Archipelago consists of 13 islands and 41 reefs including the South and North Fishing Islands and Wuhu Reef. It sounds like this group of islands should be quite large. In fact, the only island that tourists can go to is Beiyushan Island, which covers an area of ​​only 0.78 square kilometers. Fortunately, Yushan Island has not been developed by tourism so far, and everything has maintained the appearance of a pristine island. Because Beiyushan Island is not large in size and the number of tourists it can receive is limited, the number of people who go to the island every day is also controlled. Ordinary tourists go to the island by taking a shuttle boat from the passenger transport center on Yuquan Road, Shipu Town, Xiangshan. Tickets need to be booked in advance, so friends who want to go should choose a good day to book the tickets first, so as not to make a trip in vain. Regardless of the straight-line distance of only 45 kilometers, this boat ride still takes time. There are two types of ships in the passenger transport center: fast and slow. The express boat takes about one and a half hours one-way, and the fare is 220 yuan per person. To be honest, the price is not cheap. The slow boat is two and a half hours, and the one-way fare is 160 yuan per person. Since Yushan Island is located in the open sea, the wind and waves will be relatively large, so I personally think that taking a fast boat will not only have better facilities, but also for people who do not often take a boat, it may be less than an hour to suffer at sea. I remember the last time a friend of mine went to Yushan and was hit by strong winds and waves. It was really vomiting and unable to take care of himself, and there was no mood to play. When I stepped on this island, I seemed to have come to another world. Between the blue sea and the sky, there stands a lonely island in the vast ocean, and there are only a few islands and reefs on the surface of the distant sea. In front of me is a quiet small fishing village, with several fishing boats moored in the harbor, swinging lightly in the wind. The noise in the city and the trivialities in life have been completely forgotten at this moment. Only in such a place can such feelings emerge. The fishing village is located on the east side of Beiyushan Island, facing the sea. This is a traditional Chinese construction method, which is the same everywhere. Sometimes I really sigh with the greatness of mankind. There is such a colorful village in the depths of the sea. The village is not large and is built on the back of a mountain. All houses are arc-shaped buildings, which can better defend against typhoon attacks. A piece of sea surrounds the village, which serves as the best haven for ships. The people on the island have lived on fishing for generations, and relying on this beautiful, pure, and fertile sea area has nurtured generations of Yushan Islanders. Nowadays, as more and more people know about this place, when they come here, the residents of the island took out their spare rooms to make a simple farmhouse, using the caught seafood to make fishermen’s delicacies, so that people outside can really taste it. The plump seafood on Yushan Island. Although Yushan Island is not big, the scenery is not perfunctory at all. Walking around the island for about half an hour, the whole way presents a completely different scenery, flat island meadows, wild flowers all over the ground, and different seasons. There are different flowers in different seasons. When I came, it happened to be when the wild lilies were in full bloom. Wild lilies can be seen everywhere on the island. At this time, it reminds me of Luo Dayou’s “Wild Lily Also Has Spring”, which is quite the occasion. The south bank of the island is a great sight of Yushan: Xianren Bridge. On the cliff by the sea, there is a huge, naturally formed stone arch bridge with a length of about 30 meters and a height of more than 20 meters. The local people call it Immortal Bridge. At the far end of the Xianren Bridge is the Beiyushan Lighthouse, which is a landmark of the Yushan Islands and is known as the “largest lighthouse in the Far East”. This tower was built during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty and has been rebuilt many times after wars. For Xiangshan fishermen drifting on the sea, seeing it is like seeing home. In addition, if you are lucky, you may also see the “Blue Tears” of Yushan Island. In the dark night, the whole island is surrounded by light bands. From the sea surface to the bottom of the sea, you can see the peculiar The scene can definitely make you show off for a lifetime. There is no pollution on Yushan Island. The water is clear and transparent for more than ten meters. Standing on the reef, you can clearly see all kinds of fishermen swimming in the sea. The superior ecological environment and abundant seafood resources also make Yushan Island a paradise for sea anglers. It is known as the “Asia’s No. 1 Fishing Ground”. Every day, there are enthusiasts from all over the world, either on the shore or renting a fishing boat to go fishing. If you are lucky enough, wild large yellow croaker, East China Sea grouper, sea bass, etc. are all caught ashore. About the author: Han Can Yiye (photographer, traveler, self-media person).

Quiet, gentle and discreet, Quy Hoa maple village (Ghenh Rang ward, Quy Nhon city, Binh Dinh province) is like a small hidden corner in Quy Nhon beach town. The beautiful beauty of the natural scenery blends in the 60-hectare area, once there was a maple village. Tucked away in a valley surrounded by mountains and sea, Quy Hoa maple village was once like a quiet stop in the middle of a lute written with captivating and enchanting tunes of nature. This is also the place where poet Han Mac Tu once lived and spent his whole painful life in this place. For a long time, everyone remembers the sad and despairing verses of the Han poet: “Whose boat docks at that moon river / Can bring the moon back in time tonight?”, or “Who buys the moon, I sell the moon?” for?”. The evil disease came to the poet with the surname Han in the midst of the undeveloped medicine, plus the alienation of the world made him have to find a faraway place to lull his soul. Mr. Chin hopes that, in addition to helping the leper villagers develop their economy, this moon boat can be put into tourism service. Quy Hoa, a place that has long been implicit in people’s minds is a refuge for people with leprosy. Many people come and go, the remaining patients are a struggle when they have passed most of their human lives, sitting on the porch in the afternoon waiting for the day to pass. But, Quy Hoa now suddenly makes people feel surprised at the transformation of a land that was haunted by pain and miserable fates. In a hidden corner near the coast of Quy Hoa, fisherman Le Van Chin (52 years old) sat contemplatively in front of a row of coconut trees fluttering in the sea breeze. He was probably one of the few special people in this place. Around where he sat, small blue boats were spread out on the sand. He smiled happily, pointed to each boat and said: This boat is yours, that boat is yours, that one… all of them are made by you. And he was also a leper patient at one time. In 1981, when he was still a young teenager in the coastal area of ​​Phan Thiet (Binh Thuan province), he discovered that his limbs lost sensation, then hard lumps gradually appeared on his body. The family took Mr. Chin to Quy Hoa for treatment. At that time, there was a huge guilt in him. But then, at that time, medicine was also more developed, his disease was completely cured. He had a time to return to his hometown of Phan Thiet and go to the sea, but his love with his daughter Ghenh Rang held him back to this land. He is here, working as a seafarer and living in harmony with other sick people. The sea job is very hard, especially for those who have been sick and in poor health in the leper village. Towing heavy basket boats to the sea or to shore every day is a problem. Once, when he saw too many plastic drums being discharged in industrial zones, he came up with the idea of ​​​​making boats from plastic containers. He bought 10 boxes and did his own research. Having made a boat in the past, he quickly built himself a boat from these plastic drums. Lighter boats made of bamboo slats sweep oil, surf faster, maintenance work is also less, more convenient when pulling into the water or bringing ashore, suitable for the health of patients in Quy Nhon. Hoa. Many people see the advantages of this type of boat so they are very interested, they put him to do it. He made 3 types of boats, including pointed boat, cradle boat, and high-pronged cradle boat. Each type is 4m long and 1.2m wide. Each of these boats uses 7 drums of 200 liters type and some auxiliary materials such as freight, screws, bamboo… Currently, the cost to complete each boat is more than 4 million VND, he sells it for a price. 5 or 6 million dong. Mr. Chin with his moon boats. Many fishermen in Quy Hoa consider this boat to have many advantages. Because it’s plastic, it’s easier to float on the water, and the machine can be installed so that it doesn’t take much effort to row. Moreover, the boat has a longer service life when the bamboo boat is only used for 3-4 years to degrade, and the price is more expensive. Therefore, in the past few years, Mr. Chin has made about 60 of them by himself. In addition to relatives in the maple village, there are also some fishermen in Khanh Hoa and Phu Yen who also come to work. He named it “the moon boat Han Mac Tu”, in memory of the talented but unlucky poet who used to live in this maple village. He said to make and sell these boats because their shape is half moon, like the moon. But this place is associated with many memories of the talented poet of the past. From the day there was a television report on a boat with a strange name “Han Mac Tu moon boat”, many tourists coming to Quy Hoa wanted to meet Mr. Chin and take souvenir photos with him with the “moon boat”. Indeed, if you visualize it well, you can see that the boat has the shape of a new moon. The “Han Mac Tu moon boats”, which are popular with Quy Hoa fishermen, also make tourists inside and outside the province when coming to Quy Hoa excited to learn, adding the element of taking advantage of the waste drums, reducing environmental damage. school. Moon boat’s ambition In the memory of the patients once here, the leper village that day also had several hundred leprosy patients. Life was difficult and lacked enough, they did not return to their homeland but decided to settle here, considering Quy Hoa as their second homeland. Missing home, missing their loved ones, they bury them in their hearts to face the sick life they are suffering from. Mr. Chin’s moon boat is made from a 200-liter drum and some auxiliary materials such as freight, screws, bamboo… Painful little people have long had to deal with the gnawing of disease. But, in them, there is still an enduring vitality, strangely resilient. Meeting them, it seemed that no wound had ever been imprinted on the already emaciated bodies because of the evil leprosy. Meet them in the leprosy village of Quy Hoa, where the disease was famous nearly a century ago. But, there are love affairs that each of us feels warm to know. Like Mr. Chin’s love affair with his current wife, like a fairy tale in this feng shui village, where the moon boat seemed to have brought them together, to a happy shore for the past few decades. Few people know that Ms. Vo Thi Thuy (a resident of Ghenh Rang ward) is not like the leper villagers. She did not get sick, but because she loved this kind, hard-working man, she decided to live in the same house with him. At that time, in 1988, the psychology was still very heavy for the sick people in Quy Hoa and that mentality also had a great influence on ordinary people like Ms. Thuy. Like many others, Ms. Thuy’s feelings for Mr. Chin at first were just concern and sharing between people. But then, when love comes, I don’t know. And they had a wedding, then entered the leper village. Called “wedding”, but in the late 80s of the last century, people lived in poverty, disease, simple weddings with only a few cakes, candy, and invited friends and patients to congratulate, in front of the event. witnessed by the hospital board. It was all a great effort. Love is the magic medicine that helps them overcome illness and live better. Living together in love, the patients no longer feel guilty. The power of love has become a spiritual medicine along with the advancement of medicine that has helped many people overcome illness. But, in order to overcome the guilt and obstacles of her family and relatives, Ms. Thuy was determined to come to Mr. Chin, even though the difficulties were endless. A corner of Quy Hoa maple village today. And now, her choice has paid off somewhat. Every day, Mr. Chin, besides going to the sea, builds moon boats for people in the village. Good news spread far away, his boat was popular in many places, he built boats for fishermen in many coastal villages in other localities. During the stormy seasons, when he could not go to the sea, he stayed at home to build boats. Husband and wife and children live peacefully and happily with other families. His children are all grown up, in which the youngest daughter is in high school. That seems to be a worthy reward for his life after hard days. Mr. Chin’s house is not difficult to find, from the hospital gate, go to the right about 50m, you will see a boat placed by the roadside, follow that road about 50m more, on the right hand side, you will see a whitewashed house in front of you. beautiful white is a man who is hard at work. With the “moon boats”, the economy of Mr. Chin’s family and many other households has thus improved significantly. But, he has another wish, which is to put these boats into tourism. “If boats made of drums can carry tourists to Quy Nhon beach, the children of leprosy patients will have jobs. Thus, economic conditions are improved, life will be less difficult, “- Mr. Chin confided. Currently, in Binh Dinh in general, Quy Nhon in particular is on the way to developing tourism, including Quy Hoa maple village. Therefore, Mr. Chin hopes that his moon boats will not only help Phong village people more convenient in catching coastal seafood, but also can participate in tourism services.

The length of the wall extends from Hainan fishing village to Hon Kho During the day, when the water rises, from Nhon Hai looking to Hon Kho is still a vast sea of ​​water. At dusk, the sun gradually turned off, and the new wall appeared. The water here is not too deep, but because of that, it is not possible to run close by canoe, but must go on a rowing boat to reach this unique wall. “Be careful, the rocks are very easy to get hurt,” Sy reminded us when we excitedly put our hands into the clear sea. From the fishing village to the wall, you can only go by rowing boat like Mr. Sy’s boat. Temporarily anchoring the boat to a ledge, Mr. Sy said he could stay here as long as he wanted, until the water dried up completely. We reached the wall on the full moon day, that’s when the water was almost completely drained. If in another season, the solid connections from the rocks will be clearly seen, but now, only a green color of moss is visible. In the morning, the wall is submerged in sea water A few years ago, tourists to Hon Kho were few, and few people knew about the existence of the wall. But now more people come here. In addition to being curious about a mysterious construction on the sea, it is also because it is a very suitable place for “virtual living” photos. The wall rises out of the water in the afternoon The break is said to be the gate of the city for boats to pass through From Quy Nhon city, go across Thi Nai bridge to Phuong Mai peninsula, straight towards Nhon Hai, to Hai Nam fishing village, you can see the wall. But few people come to Nhon Hai without spending a little more time to take a boat out to walk on the strange wall surface. When the tide recedes, the wall is exposed with moss There is no record of an artificial wall in the Nhon Hai area. Ancient records only recorded four great walls built by the Champa people in Binh Dinh, including Thi Nai citadel in Tuy Phuoc district, Do Ban citadel, Chas citadel in An Nhon town, and Uat Tri citadel in Tay Son district. Only the third lunar month has so many mosses Was the wall in Nhon Hai built by man or a miracle of nature? But the people here, including Mr. Sy, believe that it is a legacy of many previous generations. Looking from the Nam Hai fishing village in the direction of the wall to Hon Kho, three distinct segments of the wall are clearly seen. The gaps between the sections are enough for small boats to pass through, which Mr. Sy surmises may have been the gates for ancient ships to pass through. It could simply be a dam built to break waves as Sy guessed, or it could be a defensive work of the Champa people – that mystery is still waiting for an answer. The flora and fauna here are quite interesting Natural grape seaweed is quite abundant here The wall surface is quite wide, about 3-4m, when the water recedes, you can walk comfortably. The wall is about 3 kilometers long. Even at the broken sections, the fishermen said that when the afternoon falls, the water only reaches the neck level, and can swim through easily. If on the full moon day, the tide is at its lowest, from above you can see the full stretch of the wall. Abundant biome in the middle of the sea It is moss season, so the wall is an extremely rich biome. From the Ganoderma lucidum, to the completely natural grape seaweed bushes. Starfish glittering in the water or clownfish hiding among the moss. The wall is now an attractive photography destination for many tourists Pointing to a boat also anchored in the distance, Mr. Sy said that his family had been here since morning until now. They went to Hon Kho, then rowed the boat over the wall, but still attached to this place…

According to the people of Nhan Trach beach village (Bo Trach district, Quang Binh province), Nhan Trach personal market has existed for a long time and has its own characteristics of a coastal fishing village. Nhan Trach market only takes place within 3 hours, from 4 am to 7 am every day. Boats of fishermen in Nhan Trach sea village (Bo Trach district, Quang Binh province) docked at the start of the Nhan Trach market meeting. The boats of fishermen in Nhan Trach sea village (Bo Trach district, Quang Binh province) came to the shore carrying fresh seafood. Fresh scads are caught by the fishermen of Nhan Trach sea village and brought to the shore for the market. Fishermen transport fish from boats to Nhan Trach market. The scene of buying and selling fish takes place bustling in Nhan Trach market. Many small traders in the big markets of Quang Binh province such as Dong Hoi, Hoan Lao (Bo Trach district), Quan Hau (Quang Ninh district) … come to Nhan Trach market to buy and sell seafood. Ms. Nguyen Van (70 years old, in Nhan Trach commune, Bo Trach district, Quang Binh province) said: “I got up early and went to Nhan Trach market to buy fresh fish that fishermen had just caught. The fish is brought home and cooked immediately, so it is very delicious, salty and salty with the taste of the sea.” Fresh squids have just been caught by fishermen and brought to Nhan Trach market for sale. The fishermen of Nhan Trach sea village had a “sea fortune” season, brought them to Nhan Trach market, and were immediately purchased by traders.

Remove the pit fish from the net. On summer days, the sky is calm and the sea is calm. Although the journeys of the fishermen in my hometown are difficult, when they return to the shore, they are always full of laughter. On the ships docked, there are not only dried squid – an expensive export seafood – but also dried sea bass – a fragrant, delicious fish that is now very popular. Throughout the fishing ports and beaches in the communes of Binh Son district (Quang Ngai), hundreds of fishermen are very excited about the beginning of the fish season, while the price of this commodity is increasing. The people of the sea are happy because of the fish season. When the boat came ashore, far away from the motorbikes buying fish, carrying fish was busy. These days, coastal fishermen begin to exploit pit fish. This is a high-value seafood species that is exported to many countries. Starts sporadically after Tet, but from March to May is the time when the fish starts to be in season and is the most fat, fat and fragrant. According to the coastal seniors in Binh Chau commune, the fishing season is mainly from January to April of the lunar calendar because at this time the fish come back a lot. After the voyages to sea, the majority of the marine catch are usually pit fish with bright silver chalk, which is pleasing to the eye at first glance. Ho fish is very popular in foreign markets, so when it is exploited, traders also follow fishermen to go far to sea to buy and preserve on the spot. Hogfish is a special type of fish known as the sea fish with a dragon body because of its silvery sparkling appearance and fins running down its spine. Just like the fish in the sea, the fish in the open sea, the body is long and the body is flat, but black, the skin is covered by a thick, hard bone that runs from the head to the tail, looks very solid, the meat is lean, with little fat. than. The big one is about 1m long, the small one is about 50cm. They have a long body (average 60–90 cm), flattened on one side, with pointed teeth. Although it is a fierce fish, difficult to catch, but with high nutritional value, cobia is classified as a nutritious food for many people. The fish is very delicious when it is fresh and only those who directly practice at sea can enjoy it. Because before returning to the mainland, fish must be dried to ensure quality and keep for a long time. This year, the weather at the beginning of the year is favorable, the sea is calm, so the boats and boats are all hit by fish. Mr. Thanh, a fisherman in Binh Chau shared: “The fishermen usually go out to sea to catch fish from 3-4 am every day, then return to shore, every trip back to the sea is full of fish, so everyone is excited. “. At 4 a.m. every day, Binh Chau fishermen reach out to catch fish. They use a net 7 m wide, more than 300 m long, and drop it about 5 to 10 km from the coast. At 11 a.m., they reached the shore with a thick net and began to unload the fish. But seafaring is also very industrial, because only seasoned fishermen can see the flow of fish in action, in addition to the help of the locator and locator. According to local people, Ho fish often go in groups in the sea, at the beginning of the lunar year, they come to the shore. “This year, the weather is favorable at the beginning of the year, the sea is calm, so the boats and boats all hit fish holes, some people gain a few tens of kilograms, some people have a few hundred kilograms each trip,” said fisherman Nguyen Van Thinh. The fish meat is very delicious and is loved by many people. After collecting the net, the fish will be carefully removed, avoiding scratches, stored in a foam box with enough ice to ensure quality or temporarily dried on the boat. After that, the fish is transported from the sea to the mainland, a part is brought to the market to sell fresh, and part of the fish is salted for 2 days. Then let it dry in the sun to dry naturally. In the early morning, people have bought fresh pit fish from fishermen who went fishing in the sea. Ho fish is very popular in foreign markets, so when it is exploited, traders also follow fishermen to go far to sea to buy and preserve on the spot. Ho fish meat is very delicious, popular with many people, white hole fish for export currently has a high price of 70,000-75,000 VND/kg. Compared to previous years, the price of fish this year has increased. Sometimes through the large amount of catch, fresh fish cannot be consumed, the rest is transferred to dry by fishermen. Before being dried, the fish is washed in fresh water. After catching the fish, people will cut open the belly of the fish, clean it and strung it on bamboo strips about 5m long and then dry it. This stage is clean, the fish will be delicious to eat later and preserved for a long time. Dry fish pit. The fish head is the thickest place, so it will be spread out to let the sun shine in, helping to dry quickly. People in the coastal village often dry the fish by crossing a rope or pole to dry. After half a day of drying fish, people take the fish’s tail together to hang the fish head down, helping the fish to dry quickly and straight, convenient for packaging later. Although fresh fish brought back to dry, although it is laborious, it is very expensive to sell and gives a higher price than selling fresh fish. On average, 2kg of fresh halibut after drying in the sun, about 1kg of dried fish is obtained and sold for more than 120,000 VND. Under the sun over 37 degrees, the fish is dried for 8 consecutive days. The houses in these coastal villages all dry fish in season, from the front porch, on the pole to the fence, the long striped fish is brought out to dry.

Water morning glory flowers on the coast of Son Tra (Da Nang). Still a flower in the world with the common name “wild flower” that grows on its own, morning glory flowers have a simple, rustic and idyllic beauty that few people notice. The sea water spinach rope keeps stretching, crawling along the sand, the leaves stay green, the purple heart flowers keep blooming for life. Silently, enduring with wind and sun, even storms and rain, with the salty taste of the sea, sea water morning glory remains silent and spreads. The time of the four seasons is still passing, the sea water spinach is still seasonally alive, and then blooms with a joyful purple color swaying in the direction of the sea breeze. Just like the waves outside forever still come to the shore, the sea spinach will forever shine with its own beauty between the sand, waves and immense wind of heaven and earth… The sea in this season, the sandy shore has countless rows of sea spinach interwoven, covering the long, gentle sandy beaches. Every year, when the southerly winds after spring pour into the sandy sea, the sea water lily flowers have begun to bloom. In the flowering season, it seems that all the sandy slopes are gentle like a carpet of purple flowers swaying before the sea breeze. Each purple heart flower interspersed in the heart-shaped green leaves is a witness to the folk tale “The love story of the sea water flower”, the love and romance passed down from the past and still mentioned today in the memories of many generations of residents. coastal people… Thus, sea water spinach has pinkish-purple flowers, trumpet-shaped flowers similar to morning glory flowers, but larger. Along with spreading stems, sea water morning glory flowers spread purple and pink on the white sand or under the green casuarina trees, fluttering in the wind in the sun, contributing to the picture of the sea more loving and gentle. The green leaves are round and round, spreading a dark green full of life, from the “mother” ropes grow “children” and then crawl along each smooth sand. By the early summer sun in May, the sun was burning but still stretching the branches, the leaves were still green and the flowers were purple in the sun so that the sea spinach season covered the beach. Water morning glory flowers follow the natural course of the earth and sky, clinging to the sand and clinging to the sea, then giving the earth and sky a strong vitality. Although each flower is fragile, gentle and loving. And the sea water spinach is always faithful to always grow towards the sea… In the sunny and windy days of summer, I often go to the beach early in the morning. From the waves gently lapping the shore, the east side was a pink color signaling a very sunny day. The sea water spinach leaves in the morning dew prepare to welcome the morning sun, the flower buds seem to gradually open. In this peace of the sea, I suddenly think of the days when storms and rains raged in the sea. But, in the many wounds of the sea space, in silently enduring, the sea spinach roots still cling to the sandy soil, trying to overcome and stretch themselves to each other. In order not to perish, start the rebirth from the roots of the sea water spinach, gradually sprouting a small string… Just like that, over the course of the day and month, the sea water spinach ran for a long time, then bloomed again, spreading the pristine purple color, spreading to the rhythm of the waves, full of magic… And, day by day, in the midst of the vast ocean, every wave comes to the shore, and also throws white foam to sing a strong and courageous song. Each patch of water spinach is still quietly blooming, shimmering on the sandy slopes. From the sparkling morning sun on the sea water, each ray of sunlight shining on the cover of the sea urchin begins a new day, the sea water morning glory is drawing endless purple lines running in the distance for a pristine picture. . At noon, when the sun shines, the morning glory flowers are still bright and bright to welcome the sun, until the sunset is still the immense purple color of a passing day. The life of sea water lily flowers, intertwined in the wind and sunshine life, in the true salty taste of the immense sea, still carelessly accepts the harsh hardships, but is still purple as a thank you to heaven and earth for longevity. a flower… I still remember the verse: “There is a wild flower at the end of the sky / Day after day waiting for the wave at sea…”. Ask who doesn’t remember not to love the sea water lily season?…

The fish market usually starts at more than 4 am and lasts until about 8 am. When coming to the beach at 5 o’clock, the market was bustling and full of people to buy, sell and work. The beauty of healthy labor every morning The market is located right next to the sea, about 500m long. On the beach are small traders and households who are displaying baskets and baskets of fresh fish. Just 5 minutes from the beach, fishing boats are full of seafood waiting for people to come and pick them up. The connection between traders on the white sand and fishermen on fishing boats is a fleet of small basket boats actively working. The men and boys, strong and tanned, swinging and hugging the basket boat with their feet in the sand, pushing the small boat through the strong white waves rushing into the sea. After about 3-4 waves hit by waves, the basket boat was gently floating and reaching far to the East thanks to human strength. The men will take a basket boat out to catch the fresh sea fish, then return to the shore. There were a whole school of fish still swimming in the basket, trying to find a way out. When landing and burying the bottom of the boat in the damp sand, the sisters and aunts excitedly competed with each other for square fish baskets that were iridescent in the sun. The most interesting thing that tourists can experience and explore here is watching the sea creatures still alive in the merchant’s fish basket. The bodies of the squids are a vivid picture of a kaleidoscope, the spots of black and purple flowers are constantly changing, iridescent under the yellow sun – something that cannot be observed when the ink has been stored for a long time or through preservation. The fish baskets are flashing like the “treasure” of the fishermen here. Nhan Trach Market is long, intense, bustling and full of charm. The beauty of labor on the smiling faces of the sisters and aunts and in the solid body tanned with the salty sea scent of men is the most sparkling thing every morning in the sea. Fairytale village Hiding behind the tall and dense casuarina trees, following the asphalt road covered with red soil deep inside, the new village of Nhan Trach appeared. It is known orally as Seoul village in Quang Binh by the solid and modern urban areas on the romantic golden sand dunes. Along with that, a part of the people here export labor to Korea and other countries, the inflow of money creates a dizzying change in the appearance of this place. However, the fairy-tale and idyllic beauty still exists here. At Nhan Trach personal market every dawn, the grandmothers get up early to visit the market to walk and watch the sunrise as a habit of old age. Ms. Ngo Thi Lua (72 years old, Nhan Trach commune) and her old friends went to the fish market to enjoy the scenery. The sea and the beauty of labor as a source of energy for the elderly, early sunshine and sea breeze are indispensable familiar things. Ms. Ngo Thi Lua (72 years old, Nhan Trach commune) goes to the fish market every morning In a group of people passing fish from the boat to the mainland, there were a few young men to help. Other children play on the golden sand like a childhood summer day, the sky is as clear as the story collection of writer Nguyen Nhat Anh, tinged with memories. In the afternoon, tourists who stay here can walk on the golden sand dunes that stretch to the horizon. That beauty, perhaps written in a fairy tale, now exists in the coastal area of ​​Quang Binh.

Move From Ho Chi Minh City, I took a plane to Hanoi at night, then took a night bus to Ha Giang in the early morning. From Hanoi to Ha Giang, there are many bus companies to choose from. I chose 2 bus companies, Bang Phan (in the afternoon) and Ngoc Cuong (in the afternoon). In the afternoon, you can choose a palace car, a single bed (about 300,000 VND) or a double bed (about 550,000 VND). Shuttle bus at Noi Bai airport, the latest trip is 22:30, so visitors need to arrange a reasonable schedule. Travel time from Hanoi to Ha Giang is about 5 hours. In the afternoon, around 16:00, there is no palace car, I choose Limousine, the seat is quite comfortable, the ticket price is about 300,000 VND. In addition, there is a shuttle bus to the center of Hanoi. Motorcycle is my main means of transportation in Ha Giang. You can rent a tourist car or go with locals to explore the northern highlands. However, I chose to travel to challenge the steering wheel, fully admire the majestic beauty on the dangerous roads. Most homestays in Ha Giang rent motorbikes. However, I rented a car at Giang Son’s house because the service here received many good reviews. Homestay also provides accommodation for visitors to Ha Giang early in the morning. You can rest and clean yourself here before embarking on a journey to conquer the rocky plateau. The host is quite enthusiastic when advising destinations, giving you a reasonable experience schedule. Car rental price is 150,000 VND. In addition, you are also fully equipped with backpacking accessories such as car straps, helmets, raincoats, rain boots, gloves… Stay The rustic homestay, combined with the majestic mountain scenery is a characteristic of Ha Giang tourism. Here are the accommodations that I had the opportunity to experience. Dust Homestay (Dong Van) : Good design but located a bit far from Dong Van town center (about 1.5 km). Those who want to experience the bustling atmosphere of Dong Van old town at night, I think this is not the ideal choice. Vi Vi Homestay (Meo Vac) : Located in the Hmong community cultural tourism village in Pa Vi commune. This area focuses on many homestays with typical ancient architecture. Vi Vi Homestay has a fairly large area compared to other homestays, the rooms and toilets are clean. This area is not near the center of Meo Vac town. You should order food at the homestay in advance. Du Gia Homestay (Du Gia) : My group booked 2 lake view apartments, the room and toilet were quite clean. You can order food at the homestay or the central area. In the center, there are many bars and cafes. When I arrived, it was already dark, so I didn’t have a chance to experience much. Ha Giang owns resorts from affordable to high-class. Vist location Milestone 0 : The first check-in point on the journey to discover Ha Giang. The landmark is located opposite the square 26-3, right in the heart of the city, so visitors can easily come here and save memories. Quan Ba ​​Heaven Gate : Located at an altitude of 1,500 m above sea level, this is an interesting place for visitors to admire the picturesque scenery of the Northeast mountains. To get to heaven’s gate, you park your car at the stop below and then walk up the steps. Quan Ba ​​Twin Mountain : Considered as a natural masterpiece of the rocky plateau. Coming here in the early morning, you can hunt clouds, save beautiful moments of the wild nature, covered with fog. Lonely tree : The stop is “hunted” by young people on the road from Quan Ba ​​to Yen Minh. A special feature is that the lonely tree has a very large size, lying between the abyss and the pass with high cliffs. These are the check-in coordinates in Ha Giang that are loved by many backpackers. H’mong Village : The resort has only recently come into operation, some areas are still incomplete. You can book a room here or visit with a ticket price of 50,000 VND. There is a tram to take you to visit the area. The infinity pool is a virtual living spot not to be missed at this resort. Pao’s house The house is nearly 100 years old, the scene in the movie “Pao’s Story” is the stopover of many tourists when arriving in Ha Giang. Wooden gate, pillar and stone fence wall, yin and yang tile roof imprinted with time traces, creating a unique virtual living background. Cat King Mansion : About 14 km from Dong Van old town, the mansion was recognized as a national relic in 1993. Outstanding sights with a campus of nearly 3,000 m2 and ancient architecture. Entrance ticket price is 20,000 VND. The Vuong family residence is an attractive check-in point in Ha Giang. Lao Xa Village : A small village about 6 km from Sung La. Coming here in the spring, you will have the opportunity to admire the cherry blossoms in full bloom, yellow mustard and brilliant white plums on the roofs. Visitors can spend the night here to hunt the dawn. However, Lao Xa is only a small village, so there are quite a few resorts. Sung La Valley Dubbed the beautiful flower in the rocky plateau. This place is famous for its blooming flower gardens and stone houses close together. You can easily save beautiful frames here. Lo Lo Chai : Located at the foot of Dragon Mountain, only about 1 km from Lung Cu flagpole. With 90% of the population being Lo Lo people, this place keeps the beauty of indigenous culture. It’s a pity that I can’t stay here to fully experience the rhythm of life in Lo Lo Chai. Lung Cu flagpole : With an altitude of 1,470 m above sea level, Lung Cu flagpole is considered the sacred northernmost landmark of the country. To “touch” this milestone, from Ha Giang city, you will go through a journey of nearly 200 km of rugged mountain roads. On the way, visitors can see Lung Cu flagpole towering on the top of a high mountain, with a red flag with a yellow star fluttering in the wind. Dong Van Old Quarter : This is one of the rare and bustling places in Ha Giang. Most tourists choose to stay overnight in Dong Van because it is located at the intersection between sightseeing areas. Compared to 5 years ago when I came here, now the old town has urbanized a lot, the surrounding houses are crowded with homestays and restaurants. Many stops, beautiful scenery in Ha Giang. Tu San Alley, Nho Que River Boat trip on Nho Que river, through Tu San canyon is an experience that attracts tourists to the Northeast. Taking a boat to admire the scenery on both sides of the river, you will admire the natural masterpiece with an impressive view from the bottom up. In particular, on the journey down the water, you will pass through Tu San canyon, one of the valleys with unique geological tectonics in Vietnam. My group rented a boat (including kayaking) at a cost of 500,000 VND. To get to the boat gathering place at Nho Que River, you need to walk at the white cliff area or drive yourself down about 4 km. If you are not confident in the steering wheel, you can hire locals to drive you down the Nho Que river, costing about 150,000 VND both going and returning. Tu San alley with Nho Que river is a virtual living background for visitors. Code Pi Leng : About 20 km from Dong Van, Ma Pi Leng belongs to the four great peaks of Vietnam. This is also one of the most beautiful check-in roads in Ha Giang when one side is craggy mountains, the other is a deep abyss with the deep green Nho Que stream. Ma Pi Leng stop or the rocky snout area are suggestions for a good photo angle. Pa Vi Ha Village Cultural Tourism Community Village : 17 km from Dong Van town, the village currently has 28 households with wooden-framed houses, walls, and 2-storey yin and yang tiled roofs. The houses are adjacent to each other and most develop homestay services for visitors to visit and experience. Come here, do not forget to discover the culture of the Mong ethnic group. Ban An Stream, Tham Lin Cave : 15 km from the center of Mau Due, Ban An stream is considered as a green pearl hidden in the middle of Ha Giang rocky plateau. Currently, the stream is still quite wild and has not been exploited for tourism much. The road here is not too difficult to go, but visitors need to be careful when crossing the degraded concrete road. From Ban An stream, you can rent a raft to go to Tham Lin cave. Ticket price here is 20,000 VND/person. You should book food and picnic here in advance. The wild beauty of Ban An stream. Du Gia About 70 km from Pa Vi tourist village, Du Gia owns a dangerous check-in road, attracting backpackers and paparazzi. In particular, in the season of carpentry, nature fascinates visitors by undulating cliffs and crimson trees spread along the path. There are peaceful and poetic homestays such as Du Gia Homestay, Du Gia Paranoma. If you have a lot of time, you can trek Tham Luong waterfall or experience shooting stream fish here. Cuisine The cuisine of the Northeast mountains is quite diverse. The dishes not to be missed when coming here are Thang Co, five-color sticky rice, kitchen buffalo meat, Au Tau porridge, Thang am, rolls, roasted pork next to… In general, the restaurants in Ha Giang prepare dishes that are quite easy to eat and the prices are also affordable. I have the opportunity to experience many quality restaurants and bars. Some food suggestions : Toan Thuy Restaurant (Yen Minh) Quan Quang Dung (Dong Van Old Quarter) Di Lan restaurant (Dong Van old town) Nga Thuong Restaurant (Mau Due)

Mr. Salamak Klathalay. Photo: CNN. This unique way of life came to an abrupt end in 2005, following the 2004 tsunami. The Moken people survived, even completely unscathed after the disaster, relying on the traditional experience of foraging for high ground. than to avoid waves. However, in an effort to assimilate the Moken into Thai culture, the government has moved more than 300 Moken people to more fortified land, in the area of ​​Ko Surin National Park, Phang Nga province. , Southern Thailand. Since then, the Moken have more or less adapted to a relatively modern life. They have gradually built a village with simple wooden and bamboo houses, equipped with solar panels and running water. And for the first time, they get a regular source of income from tourism. Ngoey Klathalay – Head of the village said: “We make money from selling souvenirs to tourists or leading boat tours”; “On average, about 100 tourists visit the village every day.” However, the Covid-19 pandemic suddenly broke out in early 2020, forcing the Thai Government to close to international tourism, losing the almost only source of income for the Moken people. In that moment, the survival instinct – sailing, hunting and gathering again strongly rose up in Moken people. Hook Klathalay, Ngoey’s brother, said: “I’ve been living on this boat for two years.” For Hook, the attraction of the sea prompted him to quickly return to the traditional Moken life. Mr. Hook Klathalay. Photo: CNN Hook and his son built a boat with tools such as nets, hooks, three-pronged spears… and conducted daily hunting trips in various shallow waters. “With just a little rice, we can get the rest of the necessities in the ocean,” says Hook. Hook adds that the pressure of the Covid-19 pandemic has caused the Moken to re-evaluate their way of life; many Mokens told Hook that they wanted to live in a boat, on the ocean. Many Moken people are also gradually returning to hunting, daily collecting shellfish, crustaceans and small fish through rudimentary tools such as knives and spears. However, the sea is not the only source of food for the Moken. They also go to the wooded islands to dig for tubers they call “murung”. Boiled and peeled, the “murung” tuber has a texture and flavor similar to that of a “water chestnut”. Ngoey said: “Since the outbreak of Covid-19, the income of Moken people has decreased, but not much in my opinion; We are not desperate, we are not starving. For a long time we were not dependent on tourism, we only did tourism for a few years. But we will always have the sea.”

In recent years, stand-up paddle boarding (SUP) has gradually become popular in Vietnam and is loved by many young people. “SUP rowing is a sport that brings exciting and diverse experiences to many players,” said Nguyen Ho, founder of Saigon Cheo Station. Over the past 7 years, SUP (Stand Up Paddle-boarding), or stand-up paddleboarding, has gradually become popular in Vietnam and favored by many young people. In addition to curious guests who love to experience new things, this sport also builds a community of passionate players, long-term investment. Having been involved with SUP rowing from an early age, Mr. Nguyen Ho said that the number of young people interested in this experience has increased significantly in the past 4-5 years. “Every month, we can receive 600-700 regular students to practice, and the number of guests who come to rent SUP or experience the subject is difficult to count,” he said. Unlike kayaking or boating, SUP is a personalized sport. Therefore, the tools and playing equipment are all one. Players will stand on a large board and use paddles to move on the water. In fact, SUP is suitable for many types of terrain such as rivers, streams, canals, lakes, but it is still ideal when playing in open water such as the sea. Under the advice, the SUP site I chose was in District 7, HCMC. One of the reasons why SUP is increasingly popular with young people is that it can serve a variety of purposes: relaxing rowing, sports rowing and participating in SUP racing. Like many first-time players, I choose to relax in order to both experience the sport and see Saigon from a new perspective. With this need, Coach Ho advised me to use an all-round board, suitable for beginners thanks to its well-balanced design, easy to balance on the water. The cost for a stand-up paddle boarding session here ranges from 300,000-600,000 VND/SUP, depending on different types and types of boards. In addition, players can participate in a short 3-hour training course with a coach for VND 500,000 to receive instruction on the most basic skills of this subject. For any sport, preparation is a must to ensure safety and optimize the experience. In about 30-45 minutes, I was taught the basics of water safety, SUP skills and handling situations. For beginners, the trainer will teach the basic movements to steer the SUP board on the water, including how to hold the paddle, balance, row straight, steer the sides and turn. The above techniques are not too difficult to understand and complicated, but it takes time to get used to and practice when starting “real combat”. After the introductory lesson on how to paddle SUP, I switched to protective equipment during the game: life jacket and seat belt. Note, the seat belt connecting the paddle board and the ankle is a must, regardless of whether it is a beginner or a professional. Nguyen Ho said the station has the complete right not to let guests into the water if they refuse to wear a leg strap. “Wearing a leg strap is like wearing a seat belt when sitting in a car or plane. If you accidentally fall into the water, you can’t drift far from the board, so you can rely on SUP to float to the surface,” he explained. . Another note when playing water sports is that players need to pay attention to the direction of the wind and creek to choose the time and place to drop the paddle board and handle the situation. Because the place where I dropped the SUP was a canal, with sludge accumulating below, the coach advised to wait for the high tide to move smoothly. On the other hand, players should row against the current first, when returning, they can follow the positive current to reduce their strength. Even though I was fully equipped with knowledge, I was still a little nervous before going into the water. Contrary to initial worries, the SUP board is quite stable, with little wobble on the water when I sit on it. Initially, players are encouraged to row in a kneeling position to get used to the feeling of floating on the water, then stand rowing as the name of the sport. However, when I lost my balance or encountered high winds, the coach advised me to kneel down to stabilize, to avoid falling into the water. After a few minutes of getting used to the SUP in a kneeling position, I gradually became more confident, trying to stand up in the correct way as instructed: against the paddle on the board, using one leg as a pillar to borrow the force to stand up. Only then did I really shake off the initial anxiety and confusion to enjoy this “unique” experience. From the water, I can watch the bustling urban scene in the distance, immersed in the golden sunset. In the midst of the hustle and bustle of Saigon, seeing the city from a whole new perspective is an exciting experience. After about an hour of rowing SUP, I started to feel tired. Therefore, players need to have a good physical foundation, or choose a reasonable intensity and playing time. In addition, when encountering underwater situations such as high winds, falling off the paddle board, entangled in obstacles …, it is necessary to calmly handle it, do not panic. Because SUP is a water sport, players should wear lightweight clothing or sportswear with sun protection for ease of swimming, movement and avoiding sunburn. I also prepare an extra waterproof bag to store important things like phone, cash…

Beautiful riverside village. first. National Highway 25 – Road 7 before 1975, 181km long, starting from Highway 14 at Cheo Reo junction in Chu Se town, Chu Se district, Gia Lai, and ending at Highway 1 in Tuy Hoa city. Phu Yen province. Highway 25 is like a soft silk, when hiding in the vastness of rubber, sometimes through coffee and pepper gardens, then gently squeezing through countless upside down hillsides… However, no matter where it crosses over, Highway 25 is still “in love” with the Ba River. Only in places where the terrain is divided, Highway 25 and the Ba River are temporarily separated – like the angry moments of a boy and a girl who love each other, and then return to each other and blend together. , more intimately. I love all the rivers on this S-shaped strip of land. Because every river is beautiful, wonderful and dreamy. And because, every river has witnessed many heroes of the nation’s history. River Ba – of course – is no exception… Originating from small streams and creeks in the Kon Plong plateau, Kon Tum province with an altitude of 1,549m, the Ba River resembles the strong and proud men of Xe Dang and BarNah. Ba River – the most magnificent river of the Central Highlands – South Central. From the starting point, the Ba River winds on the plateaus of the northernmost Central Highlands in Kon Tum province, then flows down to Gia Lai, passing through the districts of Kbang, An Khe, Dak Po, Kong Chro, Ia Pa, Ayun Pa. Here, the river changes direction to enter Krong Pa district of Gia Lai province and then enters the territory of Phu Yen province in the west – east direction. At the end of the 374km journey, the Ba River merges with the big sea at Da Dien estuary (also known as Da Rang estuary), south of Tuy Hoa city. Peace by the river. Do not know since when, Ba River has been a sacred symbol of the residents living along the two banks. With a basin of 13,900km2, the Ba River is a gathering place, living for a long time of indigenous peoples such as De Trieng, Se Dang, J’rai, BahNar… to form cultural features from here. characteristics of the indigenous peoples. From the majestic waterfalls in the upstream to the bends, the smooth flows downhill carry a bold imprint of the culture of the inhabitants living here: They are immortal epics, epic and romantic chapters; those are beautiful love stories of boys and girls Ede, De Trieng, J’rai, BahNar…; it is the beautiful legend of the magical sword and the Fire King of the J’rai; There are also peaceful villages on both sides of which is a unique and huge cultural heritage with the soaring roofs of the Rong house, the silent statues of the tombs, the sound of gongs, and the la da. A glass of wine, with laziness around the sinuses… The Ba River plays a very important role in the lives of the indigenous people where it flows. With the gifts God has given her, Ba River has generously donated everything back to people. 2. I once had the opportunity to walk along this wonderful river, from upstream to downstream. Everywhere is beautiful. Everywhere wants to stop for a few days, to satisfy! But perhaps – for me, the most impressive point is still Ben Mong, the Red Valley in Ayun Pa town. Remember, a few decades ago, when there was no Ben Mong bridge connecting Ayun Pa with Ia Pa district, I used to come here. There is a boat, day and night, sun and rain, constantly and diligently taking guests across the river. I used to sit on that boat of Mr. Chau Sanh Ngoc (often called Mr. Sau Ngoc), about sixty years old that year. Once, he rowed a boat and took me from Ben Mong, down the Ba River to the Red Valley at the foot of To Na Pass – the demarcation between Ayun Pa town and Krong Pa district of Gia Lai province. That day was in the spring, the water was not big, just enough for the boat not to hit the rocks in the riverbed. The boat floats naturally on the gentle water, sometimes Mr. Sau Ngoc puts the rowing beam into the water, driving the boat from going to the shore. “Calling it Ben Mong is to distinguish it from Ben Mo on the left bank of the river, in Ia Pa district,” Mr. Sau Ngoc told me. He said: Ben Mo that day had a row of green fig trees. In summer, where is hot, but Ben Mo is always cool. Then one year the flood came, the fig tree line was eroded, drifting with the fierce water. Ben Mo has since remained only in memory… Soon came the Rose Valley. There are also other very romantic names such as Valley of Love, Valley of Purple Horizon… Before 1975, I didn’t know, but when I went down to Ben Mong with Mr. Sau Ngoc a few decades ago, the Red Valley was still relatively unspoiled with clusters of orchids on top of the old trees, reflecting down. clear water stream. And apricot forest – sometimes peeking in the groves is a forest apricot tree showing brilliant yellow color. According to Mr. Sau Ngoc, it is called the Valley of Love because the scenery here is beautiful and the climate is cool, so many couples often come here to love themselves. “But it is also associated with a very beautiful love story of the J’rai people here for a long time!”, Mr. Ngoc said. And the Pink Valley or Purple Horizon Valley is probably derived from the color change during the day, depending on the morning, noon or afternoon sunlight shining down on the water, and then reflecting on the riverside forest to have colors. colors at different times of the day. The river section in the Red Valley suddenly widens and the water turns blue. That day, Mr. Sau Ngoc brought a fishing net. The roof beams along the boat, he stood up, slightly shrunk his feet, then threw his hand into the river to catch the fish. The boat swayed slightly. The surface of the water where the fishing net was covered broke into rolling waves… That night, Mr. Sau Ngoc and I removed the fish from the fishing net, drank wine in the heart of the valley… Above the riverbank, Highway 25 still faithfully curves along the river, even though suddenly from the mountain, rushes to a hill to become To Na pass, connecting Ayun Pa with Krong Pa. And back then, the fish in the Red Valley was delicious. On occasion, I will talk about the fighting fish from the Ba Man River in An Khe, or the pelagic fish in the Red Valley at the foot of the To Na pass. Highway 25 is soft winding along the Ba river. 3. There was a chance that I went down road 25, along the Ba River, back to Tuy Hoa. Arriving in Phu Yen province, the Ba river changed its name to the Da Rang river bar – from the reading camp of the name Ea Drang – the ancient Cham language means “the laurel river”. Here, busy and peaceful villages are quietly nestled by the river. Near the big sea, the Ba River is also generous when bending, forming a large delta of over twenty thousand hectares, creating the largest Tuy Hoa field in the South Central. And yet, from the Dong Cam irrigation system, water from the Ba River is brought in, irrigating this vast rice field… … Every time I return to Tuy Hoa, I stay here for the night. I don’t stay at the hotel, but often stop by a small Homestay on Nguyen Dinh Chieu Street. May Homestay – a gentle and cute name. Nguyen Dinh Chieu Street in the city center, a few minutes walk is standing in front of the sea. The night here is strangely quiet, so quiet that you can even hear someone’s light breath – outside, it’s like hearing the whispers of the Ba river – Da Rang river when returning to the sea…

Not all but most of the boats on Cai Rang floating market often hang what they sell. For example, a fruit seller will hang that fruit.

The best time to explore the market is 5am. Visitors can rent a small boat separately or join a group with a large boat. Photo: Pham Ngon. The market was formed in the first half of the 20th century. At this time, the land travel of the river was not yet developed. Photo: Asianway Travel.

Illustration. From the beginning of May 2021 up to now, due to the large-scale outbreak of the Covid-19 epidemic, Ninh Binh province has announced to suspend the reception of guests at tourist sites and attractions in the province to prevent the epidemic. So 100% of boat drivers here become unemployed. Since the return of the Covid-19 epidemic, foreign tourists have not come to Vietnam for tourism, and domestic visitors have decreased. Most of the laborers working as boat drivers at Trang An eco-tourism area and Tam Coc – Bich Dong tourist area (Ninh Binh) sometimes only get one trip a month. That situation made the boatmen “cry” because their income decreased due to the absence of passengers. A boatman at Trang An boat station said that since the Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex came into operation, it has brought jobs and stable income for thousands of locals living around the heritage area. Trang An has long been a famous tourist destination of Ninh Binh, recognized by Unesco as a natural heritage and a world cultural heritage. The scenery here is made up of winding rivers flowing through limestone mountains, creating countless magical and mysterious natural caves that attract visitors. To explore Trang An, visitors will be sitting on a boat to admire the surrounding mountain nature. If in the past, there were cases in this tourist area, the whole family worked as a boat driver. Average income is 400,000-600,000 VND/day. Although the work is hard, in return for the high income, the family’s economy is getting better and better. Employees feel more secure, more attached to the job. But in the past two years, due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, tourists have dropped sharply, so income is not enough to cover life. In particular, from the beginning of May, the resort temporarily stopped accepting guests, making the life of the already difficult ferrymen even more difficult. They have to find another job to earn their daily income. Similar to Trang An eco-tourism area, Tam Coc – Bich Dong is a familiar destination that tourists definitely cannot ignore when coming to Ninh Binh. Visiting Tam Coc, visitors will be sitting on a boat, down the poetic Ngo Dong river watching the overlapping mountains and iridescent golden rice fields. Ms. Chu Thi Mo, who works as a ferry driver in Tam Coc, confided: Before, there were 6 to 8 trips a month with many tourists, 200,000 VND each. On holidays and Tet, the number of trips increases much more. But since the Covid-19 epidemic, the absence of customers is considered a loss of revenue. Strictly following the direction of the province, to temporarily close to carry out epidemic prevention work, it is estimated that at Trang An eco-tourism area and Tam Coc – Bich Dong tourist area (Ninh Binh), thousands of boatmen have to quit. Without customers, these people have to turn to other occupations to earn a living. According to statistics, at Trang An eco-tourism area and Tam Coc – Bich Dong tourist area, there are more than 3,000 people working as boat drivers. Most of them are locals. The boatmen here range in age from 18 to 60 years old. A longtime boat driver shared: “Without guests, many people are not interested in boating. They will look for jobs in garment companies, leather shoes, stone handicrafts, etc. to earn extra income. However, these companies only hire young people, and older people will not be recruited.” Thus, there will be a large number of people working as boatmen who “don’t know where to go”. According to a representative of Xuan Truong construction company, which invests and manages the two tourist resorts above, in order to reduce difficulties for workers, in 2020, the business has supported more than 3,000 ferry workers here every year. person 3 months salary. Currently, the enterprise is planning to continue to support these workers to help them overcome the immediate difficulties.

Located on the river right in the heart of Hai Duong city, Hai Duong province is a small hamlet of the people in the fishing boat village. One of the families who have lived here the longest is Mr and Mrs. Vu Thi To and Cao Van Vuong. This family has 9 people including 3 generations. To’s youngest son, before going to work abroad, participated in many swimming competitions for 9 years and won many excellent medals. Although the house is small, Mrs. To has a special place to display her son’s medal. Currently, on the houseboat, there are Mrs. To and her husband and the youngest son with 2 grandsons. Although it is a houseboat, but with the help of families on the shore, the house always has electricity and clean water. The daily livelihood of Mr and Mrs To as well as most of the people in the village is fishing. From dawn, Mrs. To wakes up to prepare tools and waits for her husband to pick up the boat. Like Mrs. To’s family, after returning from fishing, they often hold a market right on the front bank of the barrier dike wall. The markets usually start around 3pm every day. The people in the fishing village consider each other as family members, they are willing to share the work and the work of this house is also that of the other. When this family goes fishing at night and cannot return to take their children to school, another family will take the children to school. Children’s way to school is also very special. Many households do not make a bridge to the mainland but use another small boat to move. When the day’s work was basically completed, the men in the village rested, played chess to relax, and bonded more with the village. In the evening, the houseboat also lights up to prepare a full and warm family meal, mixed with the laughter of children.

Video documentary by Huong Thanh The villagers of Cam Nhuong beach village (Cam Xuyen) called fisherman Le Xuan Tien an old fisherman with the charm of “hunting” goldfish because more than a decade ago, only Mr. Tien caught this fish in large numbers. In the first 4 months of 2021, the boat of old fisherman Le Xuan Tien has won 3 batches of positive goldfish worth more than 1.5 billion VND. In which, for the first time, Mr. Tien won more than 2 tons of positive goldfish on January 24, 2021; for the second time, on April 16, he hit 2 tons; 3rd time, he hit again 1.5 tons. Mr. Le Xuan Tien’s boat hit more than 2 tons of goldfish on January 24, 2021 In addition, in the first months of the year, fishermen Le Xuan Tien also won many fishing trips with a total value of more than 1 billion VND. Although he has just won a lot after many trips out to sea, with fisherman Le Xuan Tien, whenever the weather is favorable, he is busy preparing gears to go “hunting” sea buds. At the age of 57, old fisherman Le Xuan Tien still works diligently, labor productivity is always superior even though his boat is only 110 CV. Video: Mr. Le Xuan Tien shares about the ocean goldfish fishing (made in April 2021) An indispensable tool in every trip of old fisherman Le Xuan Tien is a fish detector (also known as a stealth machine) and a locator. In 2010, after seeing that fishermen from outside the province were effectively fishing thanks to fish detectors, Mr. Tien invested nearly 100 million VND to purchase these machines for fishing. Mr. Tien shared: “I think the success of sea trips is partly due to luck, the rest is due to my hard work, my love for my job and my efforts. Except when the sea is rough and the full moon day, we go out to sea every day ”. From the effort and hard work, more than 30 years in the marine profession, Mr. Tien has drawn for himself many fishing experiences such as forging his clear eyes that can see through the fish in the dark or during the day. The main fishing ground that Mr. Le Xuan Tien operates mainly is the area around Hon Buoc island, 2-3 nautical miles from the coast. This field is full of rocks and corals, so it is easy to tear the net if the fishermen are still skilled. However, with the old fisherman Le Xuan Tien, he memorized the topography of each area around here the fishing was also somewhat more advantageous. According to Mr. Tien’s experience, during a dark night, the goldfish emits a bright light like the light of a flashlight. That is also the reason why this fish is called with many names such as snakehead fish and rhubarb. At a distance of more than 100m, old fisherman Le Xuan Tien can see through yellow and yang fish. In addition to his skillful technique of catching fins and tattooing, he is considered by local people as the “killer” of fishes, especially yellow fish. Documentary photo Recalling the last time “met” a flock of yellow ocean fish, fishermen Le Xuan Tien and the crew members on the boat still have feelings of joy. Mr. Tien said: “As usual, at 4:00 p.m. on April 15, we went out to sea to fish in the waters around Hon Buoc island. At 2:00 on April 16, when I looked at the flashlight, I discovered a stream of fish swimming about 5 meters away from the boat, sparkling with bright yellow color, so I am sure it is a yellow fish. Immediately, Mr. Tien steered his boat around the area where the fish appeared in order to localize it, then teamed up with crew members to spread the net 300m in length and drop into the sea in an arc shape. After more than 2 hours of struggling, fishermen Le Xuan Tien and 9 crew members joined forces to bring the fish to the boat compartment. On this trip, Mr. Tien had to hire two more boats to transport fish to Con Go port. Fisherman Lai The Ha (Xuan Bac village, Cam Nhuong commune) – Mr. Tien’s crew member said: “Those who work as fishermen in Cam Nhuong commune all admire Mr. Tien’s skill. He is not only good at detecting and locating fish flocks and running streams, but he is also good at receding fin technology in rocky fishing grounds. He has clear eyes, looking at a distance of 100 meters that he can distinguish a red fish or a black fish. From the beginning of the year until now, I have earned more than 150 million dong from fishing boat Mr. Tien ”. Video: Fishermen Lai The Ha shares his income as well as his experience and ability to “hunt” for yellow and ocean fish (made in April 2021). It is known that from November 2020 up to now, fishermen Le Xuan Tien’s boat has had more than 40 sea trips and an income of more than 2.5 billion VND. In which, boat owners earned more than 1 billion VND; The remaining 9 crew members each earn an average income of more than 150 million VND. Mr. Le Xuan Tien is the only fisherman who has been able to catch yellow ocean fish after more than a decade of fishing in Cua Nhuong waters. The fish batches of old fisherman Le Xuan Tien are creating a great motivation for fishermen in Cam Nhuong commune to buy and repair more fishing gears, repair boats, invest in machinery to continue to rise offshore and stick to the sea. Chairman of Cam Nhuong Commune People’s Committee Nguyen Van Hung

The world’s most luxurious fishing yacht A fishing yacht model that combines elegance between sportiness and elegance. Recreational fishing has increasingly attracted new boat owners in recent decades, so firms are constantly rolling out larger yachts with lengths of 30 meters and possibly in excess of 40 meters. Against this backdrop, the Project 406 fishing yacht is a huge step forward, involving design and engineering challenges. Designed for experienced and passionate fishing boat owners, Project 406 is built for sport fishing and for the high-class life at sea. Divided into 6 decks, with Alustar aluminum hull and superstructure for greater strength, resilience as well as lighter weight, facilitating and efficient trips to the fishing grounds. Project 406 was developed to conquer all types of fishing, including foraging and marlin, that can be found in tropical seas around the world. The yacht’s naval exterior, interior and architecture were designed by Vripack Yacht Design under the crafting of the famous Dutch yacht builder, Royal Huisman. Overall, Project 406 is a model fishing yacht inside the guise of a luxury sports yacht. This is also the longest and largest yacht at the same time with a length of 52 m compared to other yachts of the same type, contributing to setting a new standard for yacht hobby around the world. It is expected that this yacht will be delivered to customers in 2023.

Tam Lu waterfall is located upstream of Long Dai river, in Truong Son border commune, Quang Ninh district, Quang Binh province. The driver is Tung, a young man bold forest, solid as iron but gentle as a stream in dry season. The boat is made of aluminum, fragile leaf-shaped but can carry up to a dozen people. We all jumped onto the boat with great vigor. It seems that Tung is too used to the excitement of those who are “lost” so he still waits for us to settle down. The boat glides very lightly. The sound of the cole machine rang out, bouncing into the tall rocks, disturbing the empty river. The river upstream is strangely peaceful. On one side are limestone karsts calmly. One side is a row of green upside down hills. Looming far away from the small stilt houses of the Van Kieu ethnic group. There is no signal to tell us that there is a terrifyingly beautiful waterfall, only when you see more and more large and small rocks scattered between the stream and the sound of strong swirling water can you feel the adventure was very close. Artist Ho Ai plays Pi flute at Tam Lu waterfall. Tam Lu is not as powerful as everyone imagined, but very special. Not too high, only about 20 meters, not too long, only about 100 meters, is made up of three stone steps of all shapes and types overhanging the river surface. Perhaps that is why the waterfall is named Tam Lu. This is the most beautiful waterfall among nearly 100 large and small waterfalls on the Long Dai stream. This feature has helped Tam Lu become an extremely adventurous and attractive tourist destination. People come here not only to contemplate and walk, but also to test their courage to cross the falls on small boats and admire the superior ability of the boys to sail in the Truong Son forest land. At the door of the waterfall, Tung stood up, holding the handlebars, his legs firmly behind the roof of the boat, reaching out ahead: “Prepare to cross the waterfall!”. The boat jerked up, leaned down, we trembled and clung our hands tightly to the side of the boat in feeling very heart attack. Tung still calmly kept stepping to let the boat rise above the rocky steps or wriggle through narrow gorges. The driver’s talent is how the boat will launch without being tilted, the flight must be sure to pass the rapids and water safely. Putting your nose down is … done. Three stone steps are three such flights. White waves bounce. The boat lowered. Very adventurous and somewhat dangerous but everyone likes it. Many of the sisters, whose faces are pale because of the “unprecedented” rushing boats to the air, are still determined to make an appointment: “There is a chance to continue. Afraid of what! ”. Tung has 13 years of sailing on the Long Dai River. He said: “The first time rowing over the falls was also very good. Boat hit the rock is upside down immediately. But going forever is familiar. Now it belongs to every gutter, every rocky snout. Without looking, the hand can also drive which side … “. Tung is one of the very few people still sticking to the river, with Tam Lu waterfall. Heard, not far from Long Dai River is a unique “road” connecting Quan Hau – district capital of Quang Ninh and downstream communes with Truong Son. Nearly 100km in length, the river is always bustling with boats coming up and back. People who make a living as a boat driver also do well, customers trade goods in the lowlands and upside down. Since the day Ho Chi Minh Road connects the region back to the lowlands, people go to Truong Son by car, motorbike, and gradually forget about the boat trips along. At this time, anyone is free to spend all day on the river! The boat’s job is gradually disappearing. At present, there are only about a dozen people who still stick to work, both exploiting aquatic products and taking visitors. Tung is one of them. For a living. Because I love the river. Because you like adventure on the white waves where the rapids are. In recent years, his work seems to be thicker because of the increasing demand of tourists to play waterfall. However, this job is only spontaneous, Tung is worried because crossing Tam Lu is a risky trip, which can affect his life, while this travel route has not been recognized, safe for tourists. Waterfall crossing is not guaranteed. Tung wishes Quang Binh province, Quang Ninh district to build a tourism development program on the Long Dai river so that he can work with peace of mind … That wish will come true because within the framework of the sub-projects of the Development Project. To sustainably develop the Mekong sub-region in phase II, Quang Binh’s tourism industry has built a tourist route by Nhat Le – Long Dai river, connecting the sea mouth with the upstream. Accordingly, Long Dai River, Tam Lu Waterfall is an interesting tour. One can explore the cultural life rich in the identity of the Van Kieu ethnic group, can cruise on the river, admire the scenery, fish, fly and … enjoy self-made rustic dishes. With wild vegetables picked on the hillside, fish and shrimp caught in the river. Walking on the boat, grilled fish to eat with wild vegetables and enjoying a song of the country ‘s song is great. Boat upside down Tam Lu waterfall. I have been back and forth on the Long Dai river since the peak of 1001, the origin of the discovery to the end of the sea mouth, I have come to Tam Lu to jump many times. The scenery on both sides of the shore is indescribable. The color of the sky, the color of the sky, the color of the mountain disappears. Lots of mountains along the green river are lined with coniferous forests in the candle-lighting season. Purple mountain waves, tired and exhausted, like a full-time woman draining her blood once for a lifetime. The mountains and classes jumped up like a herd of war horses blowing the mist wind of Tay Son army Nguyen Hue from Thang Long capital back to Phu Xuan. Sometimes the mountain is like a dead, green thirsty man who falls out of the river and licks a little moisture from the beach … That feeling never gets old. I was shocked to hear the deep, majestic Pi flute soaring in the roaring voice of the waterfall. Suddenly saw heaven and earth border Truong Son immense, gill. That belonged to the village elder Ho Ai. He sits by the waterfall, playing a Khap dance of the Van Kieu. The elder of Ho Ai village in Khe Cat village, Truong Son is the last rare person who is keeping and transmitting the art of Pi flute playing. With white hair like clouds, he is like a gentle fairy, but Quang Binh people consider him an artist of the people. The photographer came to him. Musicians find him. Folklore researcher turned to him. Writers find him. Journalists found him. Tourists also came to him … To hear him talk about his unique flute and to hear him play the sacred tunes of the Van Kieu. Tam Lu waterfall has a grandfather and the sound of Pi flute becomes soulful. The Pi flute is an ancient musical instrument of the Van Kieu people in Truong Son. It is made from the trunk of a giant old tree on the edge of the Laos forest. I heard that the old man of Ho Ai village had to go three days to find it. From the day he was young, he stormed the mountains and forests until today, nearly 80 seasons fill the hole, the flute was always led by him on his side. Be faithful to him. Communicate with him. Studying carefully the cultural life of the Van Kieu ethnic group has realized that the people have a very special communication channel through various types of folk folk songs, folk dance and folk music. The Pi flute is a musical instrument used by people in many different living contexts and has a very strong impact on the emotional psychology of both sides, the listener and the flute player. Therefore, only the men who have spent the warmth of life can understand enough and are seasoned enough to use the flute as a means to express their hearts. They can play the flute when alone. At that time, the flute sounded sad as blood. They play the flute when rejoicing. At that time the flute sounded like a ring, like a song. Sometimes the flute sounds like a confidant, cooing. At that time the flute was very personal, only the person worthy of hearing could understand. Ho Ai is one of the very few Van Kieu who can use the Pi flute skillfully in each such situation. Amidst the vast space of the border mountains and forests, the sound of Pi flute opens the mysterious inner world of the people. The sound of the flute perched on the mountain, the mountain has its soul The sound of a starling flute landed on the tree, the tree has the soul of the tree. The sound of the flute landing on the river, the river has the soul of the river. Flute flickers on the white waves, fluttering on the rocky banks of Tam Lu, the waterfall has the soul of the waterfall. The Van Kieu say that wherever Pi flute sounds are located, they are their hometowns. Ho Ai House is quite far from Tam Lu. He said that he had to play Pi flute in a vast place to hear its beauty, so on beautiful moonlit nights, he often went to sit beside Tam Lu to sing the melodious songs. In the middle of the blue green space, the clouds and the sky make a sound of flutes soaring freely and soaring, making the same gongs in the waterfall. Boys and girls in sim card also followed him in the morning and night. Tam Lu Waterfall is like a fairyland on earth. Waterfall and people, creating a wonderland …

The design of a patrol boat capable of diving under water in the Sentinel project. Photo: TASS This is an affordable submarine for countries with a modest defense budget. The new ship combines the features and advantages of submarines with surface patrol boats. This export-specific project, is expected to attract the attention of smaller countries looking to upgrade their fleets. The purpose of the project “BOSS” In mid-April 2021, the Rubin Central Marine Technical Design Bureau unveiled a new project. The agency provided background information on the project to build a special patrol boat, its progress and expected results. Along with that, is a three-dimensional image of a patrol ship with submarine features. The project dedicated to export is called “Sentinel” in Russian, and the English name is “BOSS (short for Border and Offshore Submersible Sentry). The Sentinel will most likely be marketed on the national market as “BOSS”. The cost of modern patrol boats is relatively low, making them suitable for countries with small budgets, project developers note. The aim of these ships is to prevent poaching and illegal fishing. In addition, they can also be used as security ships, lifeboats or for research purposes. Viktor Murahovsk – editor-in-chief of Homeland Arsenal magazine said: “The Sentinel project proposes building a ship capable of operating both above and below the water. When operating on water, it can patrol, identify and arrest offenders. When operating under water, it will secretly spy on intruders, scout and avoid bad weather while on mission. According to Viktor Murahovsky, the first version of the patrol diving boat will have the above characteristics, in the future they will be modified to meet the needs of foreign customers. Technical characteristics Officially released photos show that this ship takes the form of a submarine but has some properties that are not typical of those operating under water. The Sentinel has a rather long hull with a flat deck, on deck there is a cockpit with a limited size. In the bow is equipped with hydrophonic complex antenna. The ship has a conical control tower with horizontal rudders. At the stern, there was a compartment for the motorboats of the patrol teams. According to published information, in terms of architecture and size, the ship resembles the project 613 diesel-electric submarines built in the 1950s. It is the largest project in the history of the Russian Navy and is foreign customers are very popular. Depending on configuration, the Sentinel patrol boat will be 60 to 70 meters in length, displacing about 1,000 tons. The full details of the ship’s special systems and equipment are not yet clear. However, this patrol ship is believed to be able to carry weapons such as torpedoes, missile systems, and small caliber artillery platforms. To perform patrol and surveillance tasks, the ship will be equipped with unmanned aircraft (UAV) capable of flying for many hours continuously and canoe. A crew of 42 people, including a patrol team, is responsible for handling violators. Advantage over foreign competitors Expert Viktor Murahovsk said: “The development of the Sentinel project is aimed at meeting the current needs of the international market. Many countries are paying special attention to patrol boats. Thanks to this project, the Russian defense industry can gain a new position in the international market ”. To win against foreign competitors, the new patrol ship must have certain advantages, outperforming its competitors. One of the Sentinel’s advantages is to abandon the traditional form of a surface ship to a combination of a patrol boat and a submarine. “With the basic functionality of surface ships, the Sentinel can patrol and arrest violators just like other patrol boats. In addition, due to its built-in weaponry, it can provide the necessary combat capabilities, meeting the requirements for surface ships. On the other hand, diving will help the ship be stealthy and perform missions below the water, as well as provide other advantages, ”concluded Viktor Murahovsk. Most importantly, the Sentinel is not a specialized train, but a multi-purpose ship. Its equipment and weapons will be determined by the customer, depending on their needs. In the Sentinel project there are both simply minimally equipped patrol boats and state-of-the-art “powerful hunters” capable of destroying underwater and surface targets. Flexibility in using this vessel type can be an important competitive advantage.

It is difficult to describe in words the special scene of this very special market. If we are not used to it, we will become panic when we want to buy an item here. Not because it is difficult to sell, difficult to buy, but only because it is too busy, too crowded, so many fresh things are too cheap, so want to hug all, do not have to miss anything and do not want to go back. Mr. Nguyen Van Vinh, an experienced fisherman with nearly 50 years clinging to the sea, led us through boats looming in the morning mist: This is a fishing boat. This is a squid boat. This is herring. This is anchovies … All glistening under the rays of the morning sun. Nhan Trach Sea Market. The sound of the coastal people is heavy and salty, loud and loud. If you sound unfamiliar, you think you are being shouted at, but looking at their faces, you will know that the timbre starts from an honest heart, kindness and a generous, open soul like the sea, like Quang Binh’s heaven and earth. Mr. Vinh said, apparently confessing, “The villagers who eat us the waves say that the wind is used to it, not as gentle as the city people.” According to historical documents and genealogies of the lineages in Nhan Trach, this countryside was born in the mid-sixteenth century. That was the period when a large migration took place from the northern provinces of Ngang pass, mainly Thanh – Nghe Tinh according to the emigration example of King Le Thanh Tong “Bo Chinh has a large land, few people with Chau Hoan, so the army and people Whoever goes there to reclaim it will benefit greatly “… The Nhan Trach people still remember the story passed from generation to generation about their sages. That in the stream of migrants who followed the king’s example, a man carried a young son from Ha Tinh to Bo Chinh, then stopped by the waves. Seeing that the scenery here is suitable for his hometown, and convenient for fishing, he decided to stay. “Good land birds perch”, father and daughter porridge feeding each other, taking the sea job to live and build a new countryside. Ly Nhan Nam village now known as Nhan Trach was born from that time. That man is the grandfather of the marine profession in Nhan Trach. Mr. Vinh said: “In the past, Nhan Trach was very miserable! Nhan Trach was engulfed in wind and sand. The sea is separated by kilometers from the field of the field. Far from being able to catch a shrimp, the fish is also difficult to sell. Dividing the province, Quang Binh developed, the asphalt road connected to the sea. Nhan Trach fishermen just caught seafood and all had traders and traders. This sea market has only been gathered for a few decades, but it is more and more crowded ”. Nhan Trach beach market usually starts around 5am. The market and more, because there are not only buyers and sellers, but also tourists and those who like a new, fun place to live. Having come here many times and still have not stopped wanting to come, at 4 am, I am alone in a cart in the sound of the wind blowing through my ears. The road from Dong Hoi city to Nhan Trach runs along the coast, across the casuarina forest of a mother who spends her youth to plant sand-shield forests – Nghe’s mother – Labor Hero, across the white sand hill of Quang Phu. faint. If the afternoon will hear the throb of laughter of tourists going to the sand slide. At this hour, quiet and lonely tomorrow. Endless tens of kilometers like that, the sea and the sea spread out vastly in front of them. Then the market, only about 500 meters long, right by the edge of the wave, the people on the boat, the people in the water, they were so busy. Rushed in, crowded, like wings to shoulder, a squid or a fish that a dozen hands wanted to bring back, just wanted to stop taking a snap, then happily let go very quickly to give someone. “There’s still a lot of numbness!”, “The boat is continuing to enter!”, “I’m sure you’re missing it.” 200,000 / 1 kg of fresh squid. 60,000 / 1 kg of green scallops. Just looking at it makes me think of a delicious and delicious meal. Fresh seafood to the market. The special thing about Nhan Trach beach market is that fishermen here catch seafood for sale, but if needed, they are ready to cook for customers to eat on the spot. On the road leading to the sea, there are some trendy people, quickly setting up small shops to serve the needs of enjoying fresh seafood directly from the sea up. The hottest and hottest dish is always squid shrimp noodles. Going from early morning, hovering from the beginning to the end of the market, having a bowl of squid noodle “emergency” hunger is nothing like. Abundant boiled water and then drop a few clear squid into the pot. Squid does not need to wash anything, just let it “keep the whole case” from the sea up. Boil for a few more times, continue to drop the noodles and three beautiful cinnamon leaves, and that’s it. The round, rich and sweet squid numbs the tongue of many people. My friend came from Hue, did not love anything, only loved the morning squid noodle in Nhan Trach. With it, there is no “regal” breakfast like the one here. Just had eyes. Just happy mouth. Again, the whole body lightheadedly because of the sea wind. I’ve been addicted to the divine squid noodle dish for a long time. Many days, going out here only ate a bowl of noodles and then came home and felt extremely happy and comfortable. The followers of drunken men have a different way of enjoying, equally attractive. It is scrambled fish wrapped in cabbage or scooped with rice paper. The coastal people in general and Nhan Trach in particular cook the rustic but fine dishes. People do not need a lot of colorful spices because that will lose all the flavor of the sea. Scallops caught up also do not need to wash much, just remove the internal organs skillfully and then leave the salty taste of the sea like that. Non-fragrant a little onion, a tomato, a small slice of pineapple, pour water. Boil white, red and yellow, drop each round, oblong fish. Salty taste of the sea. Sweet and sour taste of tomato and pineapple. Fatty taste of fish. The water is very clear and clear. All of a sudden! Beautiful, I can not eat, but when I ate, I could not have the heart … stop. Nhan Trach Beach Market attracts the main attraction in this closed process from fishing to eating. So no one does not want to come. And has come, will still want to return. Nhan Trach commune, Bo Trach district currently has more than 100 boats for wandering, seasonal fishing and water exploitation. The farmers’ full harvest season usually takes place during the Southern fish season from April to October each year, when the weather is favorable for low-capacity boats. Mr. Vinh said that this season, if he goes to sea regularly, each fisherman can have an income of 15 to 20 million dong a month. In the Northern season, the weather is unfavorable, only suitable for offshore fishing boats, so people rarely go to the sea at this time to switch to processing. Mrs. Nguyen Thi Kha has never gone out of her hometown all her life. She works in processing traditional fish sauce, marinating various kinds of fish and making dried seafood, so she said, “My life only has jars and jars. Nothing more! ”. Fishing boat to the sea market. In winter, when her husband rested from the sea, the boat lay on the shore. It was also the time when her jars of fish sauce and fish were cooked until they were ripe. Red and fragrant. Mam of Mrs. Kha and mothers and sisters Nhan Trach just need to crispy a little pork fat, mince a little more fresh pineapple, cut it into the chips of the zucchini tree to consume rice. New or interesting, the people of Nhan Trach are hard-working, industrious and active. They know how to live by the sea in all circumstances. Wandering around the village, groping in each small alley here will find that in every fishermen’s family there is always a reasonable division of labor. “Well from fish and shrimp, but each one has one thing to do. The husband goes fishing, the wife stays at home to process. Summer selling fresh. Winter semi-dry. Only have to raise children to learn to eat. Just worry about losing the marine profession! ”, Mr. Vinh led me to visit my house and said so. “Fishery lost”, Mr. Vinh’s worry is real and is coming very close. “In my family of 5, 3 of them are living abroad: Germany, Korea, Japan. Thank you for the heavy sea, but every time is different. Knowing how to make teeth? ”. Lifelong generation like Mr. Vinh is fading because of old age and weakness. The young generation is no longer interested in the sea because of the hardship and unstable income of the sea. All grew up by the sea, but all sought to escape the sea. The number of young people who stay in the homeland to succeed their fathers is very small. Especially since the marine environmental incident of Formosa in 2016, the wave of going to work abroad in Nhan Trach has spread into each family. Each year from 100 to 150 young people go to work abroad. The whole commune currently has about 1,800 labors living and working abroad out of a total of 5,200 labors of working age. The result is that each year Nhan Trach receives about 200 billion in remittances. Poor hometown by the foot of the wave changes every day. The old village is now becoming more and more street. The villages of “Sister Un”, the village “Tokyo”, the village “Australia”, the village “Germany” grew up thanks to the money from children in Korea, Japan, Australia, Germany … sent back. Only the voice of the Nhan Trach people, even if they go to the sea-corner horizon, is heavy and salty, loud and resounding like waves and winds. I used to have mornings sitting at Nhan Trach beach market without wanting to go home, from the moment when there were only lights on their heads, the mothers in the village waited for their husband and children to drift in the fog to the busy beach. people and seafood, bustling with the sound of selling and buying, chattering and grumpy; From the unknown face to the rising sun, the market gradually disappeared, the sellers came home, the squid followed the buyers to the paths, only a deserted area and boats sagged on the waves. Because we love so much, we see Nhan Trach changing and worrying that someday morning we will rush out here, but there is no sea market to enjoy playing, buying and enjoying food. Without a sea market, Nhan Trach was very sad. I told Mr. Vinh and Mrs. Kha this worry, everyone laughed: “È, worry, if there is a sea, there is a boat, there are fish with shrimp. The young people in the village still have a lot of men who love the sea. Going abroad is just a situation. My first son, who has been abroad for 5 years, came home and built a stable house, and built a boat to go to the beach with a little extra capital. Nhan Trach had to go to the beach to get to Nhan Trach! The sea is empty as well as my house is empty! ”.

Single diaspora domain Lung Leng village, Sa Binh commune, Sa Thay district, Kon Tum is like a small “oasis” surrounded by Plei Krong hydroelectric lake. Here, in addition to making noodles and growing industrial crops, every morning the men in the village row a canoe to go fishing. And few people know that Lung Leng village is like a small “oasis” surrounded by Plei Krong hydroelectric lake. Here, in addition to making noodles and growing industrial crops, every morning the men in the village row a canoe to go fishing. Lung Leng is also an archaeological site providing a rich system of monuments and artifacts of a prehistoric Central Highlands society. Many families in Lung Leng still keep their canoes Elder A Hyh (in Lung Leng village) over the past few decades has witnessed many poisonous vines. The carpentry boat craft of Lung Leng village, Sa Binh commune, Sa Thay district had a peak time. In the past, the canoe was the main means to help the people of this Sesan line go further and especially when returning from the field every afternoon, the boats were always full of products that nature gave … For the villagers. In the past, the boat was a part of the property like a buffalo, a raft, and a set of gongs. Old Ahoh dreamily remembers the glorious old days. Old A Hyh does not know how old he is, he only remembers to bring the last single boat that he made last two or three years. “That day someone from the village passed by asking me to build a canoe to go down the Po Ko stream to catch the fish” – Old Ahoh said. Over the seasons, old A Hyh’s feet were slow, his back was getting tired, but the old craftsman was still diligently carrying his ax in the woods for a week, following the sound of the puffer looking for a tree, and then passing away. For a few days, when it was carved into the carve, the boat smelled of wood and stars was worshiped in the temple and taken down the river … “The wooden boat is not only for the Ja Rai people, but most of the ethnic people living by the rivers do. However, not everyone knows how to make a beautiful boat, ”said Old Ahoh. The old man told in detail the steps to make the boat quite meticulously, from selecting trees, setting the size, making the bow and stern, cutting the boat bed, making the boat body, making the boat bottom, making the boat beautiful, boat alignment, paddle. The polome and the shrine are the two most durable boat types. When made of this tree, the wood will not crack, very lightly, float in the water without being submerged. Because of its quality, a single canoe has a lifespan of 5 – 10 years, and a “longevity” to 20-30 years. Timber used to hike the canoe must meet the conditions such as large body with a diameter of 0.6 – 1m, and a height of 7 – 10m. The wood should be soft and malleable when fresh and when it is dry it is light, not warping in the sun or when it is submerged in water. If the tree is located near a residential area, close to the river or lake, it will be more profitable for the transportation and testing process when the boat is completed. One of the things to note is that when choosing a hewn timber tree, the tree does not have puffiness, there are not many wooden hooks. The corked trees are more likely to crack when the boat is in use in the future. Trees have a lot of expensive, very difficult to cut. The tools used to make the canoe used to only have ax, machete and horizontal ax to make. The bottom of the boat is usually hewn, smooth, with a thickness of 5cm or more. The small, flat bottom of the boat will create a balance for the boat when transporting, helping the boatman to be convenient to use. Must be approved by the Forest Nurse Old A Hyh said that all things forest and mountains have the Prince (gods). Forests are the places where the mountain Yàng dwells in, the tree temple lives, and the temple of the river is born. Therefore, in order to have wood to hew the wooden boat, one must buy offerings to the temple. A single wooden boat has to go through many different rituals such as offering to cut trees, offering to bring trees to the village, offering to lower the boat … According to the old Penh, if the tree felling is not approved by the Yàng, In an uncertain situation, the chiseled boat suddenly cracks, breaks or is quickly damaged when used. In addition to the difficulty of raw materials, there are still boat workers here After the hewn boat is finished, an important step is to test the boat on the waterways to ensure the boat is balanced, surfing, easy and safe transportation; Artisans have to bring boats to rivers and lakes for assessment and calibration. After the crafting was completed, the boat was turned upside down and used the heat of the fire to smooth the trough. The wood carved from the tree trunk must be used to cook the rice cooker to show loyalty to Yàng. In the midst of the blue sky of the great, in the roar of the rapids, the boat still glides gently like a petal who dropped on the river. Legend on the drifting line In Sa Binh commune, only Lung Leng village has a canoe. Everyone in the village knows how to craft a boat, but only a few people know about the balance, nose and tail section, of which the most talented is Old A Hyh, or A Nho – one of the famous artisans. in the construction of the canoe. If in the villages of ethnic minorities struggling to worry about losing a single wooden boat, in Lung Leng village, that worry seems to have eased somewhat. In addition to the difficulty of raw materials, here are still the craftsmen, the people who make the boats like Old A Hyh, the A Nho craftsman, and there are young people who tend to the traditions such as A Dut, A Luoi, A Tuan. Elder A Hyh pointed at the canoe boats lying on the river wharf, telling us in a sad voice: “With villagers here, nowadays, only a few families use boats to go fishing. in the river. Is it only in competitions, festivals, or sailing in the Ningnong season! ” Boat racing on the rivers Dak Bla, Kon Brai, Po Ko, Se San has been around for a long time, initially spontaneous races between young people when rowing across the river to get to the fields. Bigger is a challenging challenge race between the youths from one village to the other during the festive season. This is the basis for forming the traditional canoe boat race in Kon Tum province in the beginning of the new spring. For the village boy, good boating and good fishing are one of the criteria for the girls to choose to be a warrior. Therefore, becoming a good rower, especially a good boat racer, is always the goal of each village’s striving. And so on and on, but spring is the season where the river resounds with glorious poetic songs. Rowing canoe is very strenuous work A current fact is that, despite its special significance, associated with the cultural life of ethnic minorities living along rivers and lakes in Kon Tum province, however, due to the development of preservation, conservation of canoeing and cultural activities related to canoe boats have been significantly affected. Specifically, the number of canoe boats in the villages has been decreasing over time due to damage during use. Meanwhile, the policy of forest management and protection has been strictly implemented, thus significantly affecting the process of searching and exploiting forest timber to make a wooden boat of the people. Over time, the forest recedes more and more, the large timber makes boats scarce. Especially the appearance of motorbikes made the river fun cool. People are racing to sell boats. Each boat that is still in use for over ten years only costs a few hundred to 1 million dong depending on the size and size. Still know that it can’t be helped but Old A Hyh still feels … From past to present, not only a bridge connecting the two banks, helping ethnic minorities, the image of a single boat associated with the process of labor and production of ethnic minorities. Kon Tum province is also a strong source of inspiration for a contingent of creative artists in various types of arts such as poetry, music, photography, painting and statues. In particular, the unique boat is also a unique means to serve tourism activities to experience and explore in Kon Tum river region.

Just over 6 years, at this wharf, 29 children of Tung Luat fell down, blood and flesh mixed with the river and more than 40 people sent back part of their bodies.

Fisherman Le Xuan Tien shared: “We are very happy to bring the large batch of fish ashore. With more than 600 million VND collected, the boat owner will get half of the money, the rest will be shared with the boat friends. On average, each employee earns 30-35 million dong. ” Mr. Nguyen Van Hung – Chairman of Cam Nhuong Commune People’s Committee said: “The whole commune has 252 boats of all kinds, of which more than 130 boats are fishing 10 to 15 nautical miles from the coast. From the beginning of April up to now, the whole commune has caught nearly 40 tons of aquatic and assorted seafood; Seafood prices increase by 20-30% over the same period last year. Specifically: large fresh squid 300 – 320 thousand VND / kg, mackerel 180 – 200 thousand VND / kg, scallop 50,000 VND / kg… ”. Fisherman Le Xuan Tien (in the middle), who hit the yellow fish twice Mr. Nguyen Viet Hung – in charge of the Department of Fisheries Exploitation, Ha Tinh Fisheries Department, said that this year, the aquatic and marine resources of the male fish crop in our province appeared quite early with relative yields. These signals motivate people to buy more fishing gear, repair boats, continue to rise offshore and stick to the sea. Reporter (Synthetic)

The talented Hungarian architect Tamás Bene has designed a lovely boat house for a young couple from Budapest. The boat house is originally a local fishing boat, anchored at Lake Tisza – an artificial reservoir located in a 7,000-hectare nature reserve, home to wildlife including more than 100 species of birds together. The ship is made of two main materials, aluminum and treated wood. When going into practice, the designer develops the idea based on the needs and wants of the couple. And the most important thing is to design boats in harmony with nature and in harmony with the surrounding environment. To get as close to nature as possible, the boat has a large panoramic window, sliding doors that create a seamless connection to the starboard deck. The interior uses red wood and heat-resistant wood, including a kitchen, dining room with two benches and a table. At night, the table can be lowered by chair to form a unique, space-saving and multi-purpose bed. Each object placed on the boat has its own implications, not redundant by small, narrow space. The boat house also has two roof-mounted solar panels that power electrical appliances, including front and rear headlights, lights, and a small refrigerator. “Drinking water is taken from a 20 liter bottle and can be delivered to the tap with a foot operated pump, so no electricity is needed,” explained the architect. The boat itself is powered by a combustion engine with a capacity of 9.9 horsepower, allowing the operator to navigate around the shallow, winding canals of Lake Tisza./.

Summary: After sending off the third batch of Chinese crew members, Wang Qiang was one of the six Chinese who remained on the “ORIENTAL DRAGON” passenger ship. As the second officer, he sat in the wheelhouse in the morning and in the evening to ensure the normal operation of the ship, which had been suspended for 13 months. In the afternoon, he will spend one to two hours reading professional books, then going for a walk on the boat and going to the gym. Abandoned at sea for a year, these common habits are his way to ensure that he can survive the long days.

This Hong Kong passenger ship was originally a gambling ship. It started sailing at the end of 2019 to attract tourists along the route in Southeast Asia. After the outbreak of the epidemic, it did not operate well. It broke down in Penang, Malaysia in March 2020. More than 200 crew members have been trapped on the ship for more than a year, including 64 Chinese crew members.

These crew members went to the sea for a seemingly good income, but in the end, they were trapped in a jail for wages. After the fuel ran out, the crew endured the darkest hours, long nights without air conditioning, eating food with bugs, and missing their relatives. After a long period of confinement at sea, some people suffered from depression.

From March 25th to April 9th ​​this year, the Chinese crew members were sent back to China in three batches, but labor disputes continued. Whether the wages owed can be recovered or whether they can be worth a year of life in prison at sea is unknown. . The other 6 drivers will continue to be stranded, and the return date is undetermined.

At 5.41 degrees north latitude, every inch of the deck is hot.

A 171.5-meter-long, 30-meter-high medium-sized passenger ship is quietly anchored in the blue, calm sea, facing the waterfront of Penang, Malaysia, 3000 meters away. It is close to the equator, with less wind and waves, and the sun shines throughout the year. In the evening, the sky is full of clouds.

There seemed to be no one on the ship, no sound, no roar of the cabin engine. Some are just silent heat. On the edge of the pool, a yellow lifebuoy floated quietly.

People hid in the room, like moles in the hole, never coming out unless necessary. On this big ship, where the heat waves are everywhere, the air-conditioned dormitory of less than ten square meters on the third floor has become a refuge cell.

The meal was set at 11:20, and they walked from the small “holes” to the hot ground. The crew dining room is on the second floor near the bow of the ship. In order to reach the place to eat, Li Tingting tiptoed downstairs, carefully wading through the sewage. The sewer was broken and overflowing water was everywhere. Li Tingting frowned, trying to ignore the smell of shit and urine.

In this restaurant, lunch is served in a rectangular utensil with a rice scoop on each side, crowded with people beside it. Li Tingting, who is small, can’t squeeze others, sometimes can’t grab the food, and will be severely stepped on her toes.

Pushes and quarrels happen every day. She is numb.

Worse things are behind. After the central air conditioner broke down eight times, it couldn’t be repaired completely. The air-conditioning crew dormitory was turned off, and the chest and back were soaked after five minutes. The crew was forced to move from the third floor to the sixth floor on the top floor. This floor was originally an exclusive area for VIPs, but now it has only an independent air-conditioning system on the ship, squeezing out 200 crew members, grouped together in luxurious casinos and Chinese restaurants.

They slept crampedly on the Chase bunk, between the mattress and the mattress just before they could get their feet off. They couldn’t wash the sheets due to lack of water. The restaurants and nightclubs are covered with thick carpets and perennial mold. After sleeping for a long time, gray-green raised bacteria particles grow on the skin. It is a kind of ringworm, which is extremely itchy.

The crew huddled together to sleep.Picture source video screenshot

People’s nerves are tense, because an inexplicable word can entangle each other for a month.

Once at noon, everyone was chatting and resting in the casino. A girl asked everyone if they had an electric rice cooker, and they all shook their heads. Later, a boy said, thinking about it, I know where it is. The girl thinks that the boy is deliberately teasing her, embarrassing her, is so angry, and threatens to get a knife.

There was also a girl who went to the cockpit every day to smash the door to ask for explanation, and smashed the cockpit telescope.

They looked for all the ways to pass the time, killing the Three Kingdoms, fighting the landlords, killing the werewolves, playing mahjong, and got bored after playing a few times.

The most depressed time is when many people are together, and everyone is talking about their own affairs. “I felt a little dissociated. No one thought the same as myself, everyone was talking about their own words.” Li Tingting recalled.

During the blockade, there were five or six more couples on the ship, and several couples were separated before the seal was unblocked. Although the takeaway can be delivered, the delivery fee is 200 MYR (400 yuan off). Many novice crew members ask for money from their families, but they also conceal their own situation.

Until March of this year, the Chinese Embassy stepped in and chartered a flight to send the crew home. After getting off the boat, the feeling of fear and fear did not stop. Li Tingting found that she had become irritable and insecure. After landing in Xiamen and being arranged for an expensive hotel as a quarantine point, Li Tingting was full of doubts, “Why not arrange a cheaper one?” She didn’t trust many people and sat downstairs in the hotel for 20 hours, but in the end it didn’t help.

Gambling post

The second mate Wang Qiang never expected that he would stay on the boat for so long. The predecessor of this passenger ship was the “Vostok Dragon”, which was registered under the name of Hong Kong shipowner, Du Wenlong, to run international routes. The veteran employees who have worked on the ship for more than ten years once recalled to him that the boss was very strong, and at the peak of 2004, he earned tens of millions a day.

Wang Qiang worked on the ship for four years. When he boarded the ship again in March 2019, the business on the ship was already beyond his means, but his wages were paid fairly promptly, and he was in arrears for two or three months by accident and was quickly settled. His wife persuaded him to go home and give up that little profit. He is not reconciled. Although he has heard that business has declined in the past two years, he is more at ease on the ship after several years of cooperation.

The cruise ship was a gambling ship at first. In the past two years, Hong Kong’s tourism industry has been bleak. The shipowner has changed the route from Malaysia to Thailand. Tourists have also changed from Hong Kong and mainland tourists to people from Southeast Asian countries. The street light poles on the seashore are filled with posters to solicit customers.

In November 2019, Wang Qiang received the last instruction before his vacation, asking him to ship the “ORIENTAL DRAGON” to Penang, Malaysia: Due to poor operation, the owner leased the ship to a company in Malaysia for a two-year charter period. year.

Before sailing to Malaysia, the shipowner recruited a group of new crew interns, who graduated from a junior college or bachelor degree in navigation, and were assigned to the ship through an intermediary company contacted by the school. 60% of them come to work as waiters, and many will see the sea for the first time and go abroad for the first time.

“ORIENTAL DRAGON” is indeed a very suitable ship for novices. Li Tingting, 20, had just completed school courses. She recalled that the recruitment requirements on board were “relatively wide”, and there was no need for a cruise ship major or experience requirements. Chen Wangdong had worked in sales for several years before. At the age of 25, he hoped to go out and make a fortune. At the beginning of his career as a seaman, he planned to accumulate a little experience.

After Li Wei worked as a soldier in Gansu for five years, he changed his job. The local Social Security Bureau introduced the job and received a pamphlet that included auxiliary police, seamen, and his family. The environment of the army was relatively closed. After five years of service, he was afraid that he would transfer. The local work is not experienced enough, and he is deliberately asked to “experience” outside. After boarding this boat, Li Wei, who was from an ordinary family, became the first person of the three generations to go abroad.

There are still remnants of luxury on the ship, soft burgundy carpets, round light bulbs in nightclubs, and abstract art paintings hung on the walls. The cold light from the tall buildings along the coast of Tsim Sha Tsui is enough to excite them and dizzy. Now, 300 yuan a day can be enjoyed by elderly passengers in some tour groups.

Except for seasickness, Li Wei lives well. He lives in a double room on the third floor, each room has its own bathroom, can take a shower, and has an electric water heater to boil water.

The life of the waiter is regular, with two shifts, morning and evening-from 11:30 to 6 pm, and from the evening to 6 o’clock the next day. On the way back to the dormitory after the night shift, you can see the weak sun, like a tender egg yolk emerging from the sea level. He always couldn’t help holding up his phone to take pictures of this scene, the layers of red and hot sunlight seemed to have weight, overwhelming the sea level.

Seafarers have their own lives, and ships will dock once or twice a week. They have three hours of free time on the shore. Most crew members eat and shop together. Li Wei will take his girlfriend ashore to eat Haidilao and go to the night market to eat barbecue, burritos, flying cakes, and ice cream.

In March 2020, they received news that the Malaysian government requested that the route be suspended, and the flight will resume when the situation is better. At that time, the epidemic was sweeping the world, and news of the suspension of cruise ships broke out every day.

After the suspension, everyone began to have fun. At that time, there were Chinese, Burmese and Ukrainians stranded on the boat. Because of language problems, everyone only socialized in their own circles. The Burmese played football on the deck, and Chen Wangdong and his friends played mahjong around the table.

“At the age of more than 20 years old, living a life of more than 60 years.” They teased themselves, apparently a group of young people who have just entered the society, but they have lived a life of early retirement. While walking on the deck, Chen Wangdong looked at the shore 3,000 meters away, and began to miss those non-authentic Chinese dishes. He and his friends will disembark every day to visit Penang. He always eats Chinese food, sometimes with a cup of iced coffee.

At first, they were not very worried, the world was paralyzed, they were just paralyzed at sea. At that time, there was a weekly supply of fuel and fresh water, which would be provided at the port of Ben Thanh as usual. The small boats were loaded with fresh vegetables and the meat sailed from Penang to the cruise ship. The agent of the Malaysian company that operates the route will board the ship for regular inspections every other week.

Tenant representatives in their 50s promised them that all problems would be resolved, and also “reminded” them that they are not allowed to go home before the signed contract expires.

Sea duckweed

Until August 2020, nearly half a year later, the ship still has not resumed sailing. They had hoped many times, but they failed one by one.

The crew has not received wages since April. The shipowner comforted them, the business was not good, let them understand, and the wages would be paid in two months after the capital turnover. Gradually, the types of their food are reduced, the cakes and fruits are gone, and they are curry chicken every day.

At that time, the epidemic eased, and the crew may have to resume sailing after receiving news. But hope failed again. The representative of the Malaysian operating company informed the crew that they and the Hong Kong shipowner’s company were in a lawsuit. For the crew, they have two plans, either take one month’s salary and go home at their own expense, or continue to wait on board for the outcome of the lawsuit. At that time, at least RMB 23,000 was required to return home at his own expense.

Hope again and again, disappointment again and again. Li Tingting counted, similar repetitions “no less than 8 times.” The heart of the crew was lifted high and thrown down again. Various rumors began on the boat, and people were panicked. Chen Wangdong heard that the Burmese threw the things on the boat into the sea; there was an emotional girl who was said to be jumping into the sea.

The harsh environment made Li Tingting’s mood worse. She started quarreling frequently, “I have never had so many quarrels in my life.” In the fiercest time, she quarreled with her friend until she was close to her body, and almost got into a fight because her friend was too arrogant to borrow her cosmetics. “It doesn’t matter much if I think about it now,” Li Tingting said, everyone tried to vent their inner emotions through quarrels, and there were constant quarrels and small quarrels.

The crew was crowded indoors.Picture source video screenshot

On September 4, a Ukrainian captain boarded the ship. Prior to this, the former captain negotiated with the owner and charterer, reached an agreement, and disembarked alone with the arrears of wages and air tickets. The new captain is 1.8 meters tall, in his 50s, and his blond hair has turned white. He continued to appease the turbulent crew for the charterer.

Wang Qiang and the first officer organized a sailor’s strike. After reaching the shore, they returned to their rooms and did not leave the port or work. Then the Ukrainian captain accused them, “You are illegal.” Then a meeting of sailors was urgently called to keep them on duty.

At that time, Wang Qiang decided that as soon as the renter’s representative came, he would negotiate with him, “request for payment of the wages we owe, as well as a shift plan, and book us a return flight ticket. These must be implemented.” The renter’s representative said, They can only pay them one month’s salary. When the negotiations broke down, Wang Qiang said to the Ukrainian captain, “Our today is likely to be your tomorrow.” The other party ignored it.

After entering the litigation period, the court sealed the ship. After the stalemate, Chuan Dongfang came forward. First persuade the crew to “it is more difficult now, understand it”, then make a promise “the money will arrive in a few days, not so fast”, and finally give a specific time “you wait another week”. Wang Qiang was moved.

Everyone spent a week in hopes, and the shipowner told them that the ship would not dock and the wages would not be paid. “We were quite surprised at the time.” Wang Qiang said. Since then, the opportunity to land once a week has been deprived, and they have become a helpless duckweed on the sea.

The bad news came on November 18 that Li Tingting’s grandma passed away. On this day of the previous year, Li Tingting asked her grandma to wait for her for a year, “I told her to come back in one year.”

Grandma is Li Tingting’s closest family. Growing up in a rural area in Hebei, Li Tingting grew up with her grandparents. The old lady was diligent and planted a lot of fruits in her yard, such as watermelon, sugar cane, lotus, corn… because Li Tingting envied other people’s fruits. Li Tingting has always hoped that when she grows up, she will work hard to earn money and let her grandma live a good life.

Li Tingting broke down when she heard the news of her grandma’s death. She started to call, the mayor’s hotline, labor and social security hotline, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs… the crew all called for help in October, and this time, the voices were the same as usual, and the answers were the same as before: “To you We have been paying attention to this matter, and now we are in an economic dispute, and we can’t get in.”

Every crew member missed a lot. Chen Wangdong’s grandmother also passed away during the epidemic. The local government demanded that everything be kept simple, but Chen Wangdong could not keep up with his grandmother’s funeral. Wang Qiang’s wife spent her birthday and the Spring Festival alone, and survived her mother’s hospital stay alone.

The days on the boat turned into a hazy waiting.

The last straw

After the Spring Festival this year, a girl sat down to the stern every day, looking at the sea. Wang Qiang found someone to look at her, fearing that she would fall. Later, the girl fought with a boy and chased each other in a full boat with a fruit knife, threatening “If you don’t arrange for me (returning to China), I will kill him.” The boy was so scared that he only dared to sleep next to the bridge and stay there. Next to Wang Qiang. After that, the girls began to “do not leave their hands”, wanting to exchange for a chance to go home.

Wang Qiang arranged a VIP guest room for the girl. He asked the manager of the housekeeping department to find a small air conditioner to slowly ease the girl’s emotions. He also negotiated with the insurance company. He paid the girl four months’ salary and arranged for her to go home at her own expense.

Then another girl came to the bridge to sit for one night because of her mother’s hospitalization. Wang Qiang went to the insurance company again and paid four months’ salary as well. Subsequently, ten, twenty…a large number of crew members began to “occupy” the bridge, at most there were more than fifty.

Wang Qiang took the video at that time, and the insurance company finally arranged an agent to board the ship to understand the situation. The agent was immediately surrounded by the crew, and a girl hugged the agent’s thigh tightly, as if holding the last straw.

After being not allowed to dock, Wang Qiang, the chief mate, and a security officer began to take turns to take over the crew’s major and minor matters, soothe everyone’s emotions, and contact various organizations for help at the same time. At the end of October, the captain issued a call for help to the International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF). In November, Wang Qiang issued a notice of abandonment to the Penang Maritime Department.

Finally, the Japanese ITF organization replied to them. Under its leadership, their abandonment insurance took effect, and the insurance company in London began to distribute supplies to the crew.

In fact, crew members were abandoned by the shipowner from time to time. According to the International Labor Organization (ILO), there will be as many as 45 shipowners abandoning ships in 2020. In the absence of supplies for months or even years, no salary, or even full of security risks, survival becomes the only goal.

It was not until this time, on March 20, that Wang Qiang received an arrangement from the insurance company to organize repatriation.

Two days later, the first officer and the second officer organized a meeting in the tourist restaurant on the sixth floor. Hearing the news of the deportation, everyone cheered briefly. Some people stood up and more people lowered their hair. Chen Wangdong felt a lot better for the first time. Before that, he hadn’t had the desire to exercise for a long time, because his nutrition couldn’t keep up, he felt that his body became poor.

As if she had a premonition, Li Tingting had a dream. She dreamed that she was going home. Her mother cooked several dishes, and she ate one bowl after another. Now, she tells her mother about the repatriation, and her mother returns to her: “About when will I be able to go home? The family also keeps a lot of vegetables for you, raises a lot of crucian carp, and your favorite shrimp.”

On March 25, 18 girls including Li Tingting left the ship in the first batch. They arrived in Kuala Lumpur by boat, and then flew to Xiamen where they were quarantined in a hotel for 14 days.

On the day of return, Li Tingting went to the bridge to give the first officer and Wang Qiang some snacks to thank them for their efforts. Wang Qiang watched them get on the boat from the bridge, took a video and put it in the circle of friends, with the text “No one can understand how hard they have gone through and want to cry without tears!”

The first group of repatriated crew members disembarked.Picture source video screenshot

The batch of repatriation was decided by the first officer and Wang Qiang. Chen Wangdong was given the opportunity to return in the third batch, and his friends got the second batch, and they could only say “goodbye by destiny” to each other. After this time, Chen Wangdong said that he would not consider being a seaman again.

On April 8, Chen Wangdong returned to Penang by boat. He posted seven or eight circles of friends, one of which said, “Since you can’t be the One Piece, then go home and be the king of passersby.” However, a year of drifting at sea, in Li Tingting. A shadow was cast in his heart, unable to heal. Li Tingting’s greatest wish is to go home and “see grandma”, but she decided to bury this experience in her heart because she was afraid that grandma in the sky would worry, “I think she wants me to live well.”

As the pilot, Wang Qiang needs to maintain the daily operation of the “ORIENTAL DRAGON” and cannot leave until the lawsuit between the owner and the charterer is over. The insurance company has a promise that when the repatriation of the third group of crew members is completed, it will start arranging the return journey of the six Chinese pilots, but Wang Qiang is not sure whether this will also be a bad check.

A new unique model, with a color similar to the 2 billion box car that just bought not long ago. Chau Dang Khoa also enjoyed the new car model of the baby Suchin. According to research, the family car model Cuong Do used has a price ranging from 140 to 170 million VND. With custom car models sidecar There will be a larger and stiffer chassis, capable of pulling additional boats. Depending on the material, the value of each sample sidecar will vary, usually in the range of 4,000 USD (about 92 million VND) when importing monolithic overseas, installation cost in Vietnam is only nearly 30 million VND. Although not disclosing the price, but looking at the design of the car and the “redundant” finance of Cuong Do, the fans know he bought the model. sidecar has the greatest value. Suchin was a genuine “golden spoon” brat. So we see how “giants of the mountain town” pamper you. Although she still does not know how to walk, Suchin has a collection of 700 million mini-bags, a 2 billion VND motorbike with the name “marked with the sovereignty”.

In the dark, rescuers found a young Chinese man clinging to a wooden door, trembling but alive. It was Fang Lang, one of six Chinese who survived the tragedy and the rescue that later inspired a famous scene in the 1997 Hollywood blockbuster “Titanic”. Titanic was the largest ocean-going ship in the world in the 1910s. It was described as “invincible fish” before sinking in the Atlantic in 1912. Photo: Easyvoyage However, miraculous survival is not the end of their trials. Within 24 hours of arriving at the immigration screening station on Ellis Island, New York, they were deported from the United States for a controversial law banning mainlanders from immigrating in the country. According to the BBC, 6 men disappeared from history to the present day. A documentary film has just been released on the mainland titled “The Six” has clarified their identity and life, 109 years after their fateful trip. The film unfolds the story outside of the legendary Titanic, a story shaped by racism and anti-immigration policies that are gaining special attention following the recent wave of persecution of Asians in the United States. Who are the 6 Chinese survivors? The men were identified as Lee Bing, Fang Lang, Chang Chip, Ah Lam, Chung Foo and Ling Hee. They are believed to be sailors coming to the Caribbean to work. Arthur Jones, British filmmaker and director of The Six, told the BBC that they were known as a group, not as an individual. A ticket listing the names of eight Chinese guests aboard the Titanic. 6 of them survived the shipwreck tragedy. Photo: LP Films The names of the Chinese survivors were on the list of passengers on the Titanic. Articles covering the sinking of the Titanic also briefly mentioned them. However, according to historians and researchers, unlike other survivors who had been praised by the media, this group of Chinese people was vilified for their anti-Chinese views in the West in the early 20th century. For example, in a report published a few days after the sinking, The Brooklyn Daily Eagle called the Chinese survivors “creatures” that rushed into the lifeboats “at the first sign of danger. and hide under the seats. However, research by the documentary production team shows that this claim is false. They built a replica of the Titanic’s lifeboat and found that it was impossible for the Chinese men to hide underneath without being spotted. “I think, we see the same thing today. We are seeing immigrants turned into scapegoats,” commented director Jones. Lifeboat took survivors away from the sinking area of ​​the Titanic in April 2012. Photo: Easyvoyage Other media have even accused the Chinese of dressing up as women in order to be given priority on boarding the lifeboats. But Tim Maltin, the Titanic historian, says there is no evidence that the survivors of the Chinese had either stowed away or disguised themselves as women. Mr. Maltin believes, these are stories made up by the press and public opinion after the event. Rumors may stem from the stigma attached to many male survivors, as the vast majority of the general public believes that women and children should be given priority in the rescue. According to the historian Maltin, Chinese men tried to help other survivors. Fang Lang, who tied himself to a floating door in the sea, later steered the lifeboat that helped bring many people to safety. What happened to them after the crash? Rejected by the US, six Chinese men were sent to Cuba. They quickly made their way to England, where there was a shortage of sailors as many British sailors enlisted in World War I. (From left to right) Three of the Chinese guests who survived the tragedy with the Titanic were Ah Lam, Fang Lang and Ling Hee. Photo: LP Films Chang Chip became more and more ill after the fateful night and eventually died of pneumonia in 1914. He was buried in an unmarked grave in a London cemetery. The remainder worked together in Britain until 1920, when the country experienced a post-war recession and anti-immigrant sentiment surged. Some are married to British women and have children. However, anti-immigrant policies force them to leave the country without notice, leaving their relatives behind. “It’s not their fault. All these families have been divided because of politics, which they really don’t have any control over,” said director Jones. Lee Bing immigrated to Canada, while Fang Lang, after taking a train between Britain and Hong Kong for many years, became a citizen of the United States, the country that once rejected him. Similarity between history and today Tom Fong, son of Fang Lang was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA almost half a century after the sinking of the Titanic. His family surname has many different spellings in English. For decades, Fong was unaware of his father’s experiences aboard the legendary ship, dubbed “unsinkable”. “My father never mentioned it. At least not to me or my mother,” said Fong. Tom Fong was not told by his father – Fang Lang about what he experienced. Photo: LP Films Mr. Fang died in 1985, at the age of 90. Only 20 years later, his son was revealed by a family member that the father had survived the terrible shipwreck. Fong thinks his father may have kept it a secret because of his hurt and discrimination. “There was a lot of information saying that they were sneaking under the boat and disguised as women … stories like that were widely spread at that time,” Fong stressed. As The Six’s team traces the descendants of survivors, many of them still hesitate to share stories of stigma that family members experienced a century ago. Over the past 100 years, the hostility suffered by the six Chinese survivors has been eerily repeated in the midst of anti-Asian racism arose in today’s pandemic scene. In the US alone, there have been thousands of abuse cases reported in recent months, ranging from spit, verbal harassment to violent assault. Fong decided to share his family’s story in the hope that everyone will learn the truth about the Chinese survivors of the Titanic disaster and reflect on current events. “Because if you don’t know history, it will repeat itself,” he asserted.

The Swedish Archipelago is home to the wild Ostrea edulis, an oyster whose size and taste is different from other farmed species. Since the 17th century, connoisseurs in Sweden have preferred, hunting oysters in this cold area to serve on the king’s banquet tables. Divers hunt for rare oysters in the Swedish icy region Klemming, 31, is one of the few divers in Sweden working in the icy waters, preparing enough diving gear to collect these 11cm-sized oysters. Sitting in the boat, to cope with the cold Swedish weather, the diver fitted a heavy fur cap down over his long hair, wearing thick wool gloves outside. Klemming and her father, also a diver, Peter, anchored the small boat in the shallow water next to a cliff, checking the air tank before jumping into the water. “Oysters Ostrea edulis has a very strong flavor, unlike other oysters. The unique flavor of the oyster can be best paired with ale or a stout,” Lotta Klemming said. After filling a few baskets, the couple boarded a boat, speeding back to the diving house in the village of Grebbestad. Klemming unloaded the oysters and took them on board to a nearby beach to clean and pack them carefully before selling them to restaurants in Stockholm, Gothenburg. Each oyster usually costs about 7 Euro equivalent to more than 190,000 VND. The woman grew up in a village on the coast near the Norwegian border, where her father and uncle worked as a diver. Before that, she had never intended to join the family business. After going to the city, to pursue a fashion career in Gothenburg, she missed this archipelago so much that she decided to return and try diving 6 years ago. “As a young woman today, you grew up in a world full of judgment and you constantly feel, for myself at least, I feel constantly judged,” Lotta Klemming said. But this is really the opposite here, no one will judge me for such looks. ” Klemming revealed she is currently the only woman to dive for oysters in Sweden. Although the epidemic had a huge impact on the business, as oyster restaurants ordered few orders, she had no plans to leave. Standing on Grebbestad’s foggy dock, Klemming says, “What I always wanted to do every week is dive. You can compare this routine to yoga or meditators.”

Accordingly, scientists have studied and analyzed two of the 15 ancient tombs discovered in the 1920s on the Valsgärde farm, suburban Uppsala city, central Sweden. Specifically, two ancient tombs are the resting places of two warriors from the 7th century. They are buried in boats with protective helmets, shields and weapons elaborately decorated, even pieces of puzzle pieces. play. The boats carrying the remains of two warriors have a length of more than 9m each, with 4-5 pairs of paddles. Warrior Helmets … and elaborately decorated weapon found in ancient tombs. The remains of the two warriors are placed on a smooth cushion, stuffed with feathers of a variety of birds. Researchers believe that the ancients prepared these items in the hope that the deceased’s journey to the underworld would be easier. Microscopic analysis showed that feathers in cover cover were obtained from geese, ducks, grouse, crows, sparrows, wading birds (swamp birds) and even eagle owls. More strangely, in one tomb, there was an Asian-European wild owl whose head was cut off. Horse bones and other animals (cattle, pigs, sheep, snow owls, black grouse, ducks, geese and northern pike) were also found near the boat when they were buried about 1,400 years ago. There are also artifacts related to animals, including 20 horseshoes, a saddle, four reins, and 4-5 dog leashes. “The warriors seem to be equipped to row into the afterlife, while also being able to land with the help of horses. We guess the choice of feather stuffed with blankets could have a deeper, more symbolic meaning, ”said Professor Birgitta Berglund of the NTNU University Museum in Trondheim, Norway. Feather used as a blanket for the dead Various animals and related artifacts were buried with boats. According to Nordic folklore, feathers stuffed in a blanket for the dying person are very important. Professor Berglund explained that the ancients believed that using feathers, owls, birds of prey, pigeons, crows and squirrels would help prolong the time of “fighting” with death. “In some parts of the Scandinavian Peninsula, goose feathers are considered the best item to help the soul escape from the body,” he points out. The soft feathers in the Valsgärde tombs, the oldest known to be found in the Scandinavian Peninsula, show that the two warriors were among the highest classes of Iron Age society here. The wealthy Greeks and Romans had been lying in bed for the past hundred years, said Berglund, but that the rich in Europe probably did not use it widely until the Middle Ages. Berglund believes that the beheaded owl has implications for burial rituals. According to the researchers, keeping birds of prey like eagle owls has long been a status symbol. “Maybe the owl’s head was cut off to prevent it from coming back,” the professor referred to the swords that were bent in front of the Viking-era tomb to prevent the dead from using weapons if they returned from the realms. died. The dead warriors are well equipped for their journey to the afterlife. Valsgärde was excavated in 1928 by archaeologists from the University Museum of Uppsala today. Here discovered more than 90 tombs from the Iron Age, of which 15 tombs of warriors were buried in the form of boats from the end of the Iron Age (AD 570–1030). The two graves that are the focus of a new study called Valsgärde 7 and 8, both date to the 7th century. According to Professor Berglund, Valsgärde 7 was unearthed in 1933, while Valsgärde 8 was unearthed. in 1936. Besides revealing the Iron Age burial ceremony, the new study also identified feathers as buffers for warriors who were imported or obtained from local birds. If it is imported feathers, this will open up the assumption about a certain historical trade route. Making feather materials is time consuming and challenging for many reasons, said study co-author Jørgen Rosvold, from the Norwegian Institute of Natural History (NINA). “I am still amazed at how well preserved the feathers are despite the fact that they have been lying underground for more than 1,000 years,” he said. The study results showed that the feathers were obtained from different local birds, not through the import route. “The feathers provide new perspectives on the relationship between humans and birds in the past. Archaeological excavations have rarely found traces of birds other than those used for food, ”concluded Mr Berglund.

Is pledge a prelude to selling?

In the battle of Suning’s self-help, Suning Real Estate became the vanguard.

Suning Real Estate pledged its equity multiple times

According to industry and commerce information, on April 12, Suning Real Estate Group Co., Ltd. pledged all the shares of Chuzhou Suning Real Estate Co., Ltd., amounting to 10 million yuan, and the pledgee was Xinyu Hanyu Bijiang Asset Management Co., Ltd.

After the penetration of Yema Finance, it was discovered that Xinyu Hanyu Bijiang Asset Management Co., Ltd. and Country Garden Group have an associated relationship , The former legal representative Zhou Jinxin also serves as the legal representative of Foshan Nanhai Bijia Culture Communication Co., Ltd., which is controlled by the Guoqiang Charity Foundation under Country Garden.

This is not the first time Suning Real Estate has asked Country Garden for help.

On March 23 this year, Suning Real Estate pledged shares of its subsidiary Jiangsu Yinhe Property Management Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Yinhe Property) to Country Garden Life Service Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Country Garden Service). The pledged equity amount was RMB 30.01 million. Equivalent in capital.

According to market news recently, Country Garden will acquire Yinhe Property at a transaction price of 3 billion yuan, and the pledge of equity is actually a guarantee for the transaction. As of press time, Suning and Country Garden have not commented.

In addition to Country Garden, Industrial Bank, Evergrande and Ali are also pledgers of Suning Real Estate.

In January this year, Suning Real Estate’s shareholder Suning Appliance pledged part of its equity to the Nanjing Branch of Industrial Bank; in January-March, Suning Real Estate also pledged equity to Evergrande Life Insurance several times.

In December last year, the entire equity of Suning Holding Group was pledged to Taobao. At the same time, Zhang Jindong pledged 65,000 shares of Suning Real Estate to Taobao.

Regarding this equity pledge, Suning Tesco told Yema Finance at that time: “ Equity pledge is a normal commercial cooperation and has no material impact on Suning.com’s strategic development and normal operations . In the past 30 years, Suning’s innovation and development cannot be separated from the long-term strong support of strategic partners and relevant departments. Since the beginning of this year, in the face of the epidemic challenge, Suning has fully mobilized the advantages of the forward-looking layout of smart retail and realized the steady development of the enterprise. Suning and Ali have maintained good cooperation for a long time, and the two parties will further deepen cooperation and expand offline business scenarios. ”

Senior industry professionals said to Yema Finance that equity pledge financing generally requires a 50% discount. Equity pledge financing has low loan cost and fast time for enterprises, and has relatively little impact on the stock price of listed companies.

Focusing on the main business, where does Suning Real Estate go?

At the end of last year, Zhang Jindong announced that Suning would focus on its main business in the next ten years, “slashing that should be cut, and that should be transferred.”

Jiangsu Football Club was the first cut taken by Suning. On February 28th, Jiangsu Football Club (formerly known as Jiangsu Suning Football Club) issued an announcement stating that due to the superposition of various uncontrollable elements, the club could not guarantee the continued battle on the field. Operations. Set the embarrassing record of “the Chinese Super League team disbands when they win the championship”.

Jiangsu Football Club is 100% holding of Suning Real Estate.

Suning Real Estate Group Co., Ltd. was established in 2005. As of June 2020, Suning Real Estate has total assets of 88.527 billion yuan, net assets of 14.594 billion yuan, operating income of 1.247 billion yuan, and net profit of 102 million yuan. According to data released by Crane, Suning Real Estate’s full-caliber sales in 2019 and 2020 were 8.93 billion yuan and 17.91 billion yuan, ranking 169th and 134th among real estate companies. ,

Galaxy Property is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Suning Real Estate. It was established in 2000. Zhang Jindong holds 65% of the shares, Suning Appliance holds 25%, and his son Zhang Kangyang holds 10%. Zhang Jindong actually controls 77.5% of Yinhe Property.

As of 2020, Yinhe Property has an area of ​​59.79 million square meters under management and a contract area of ​​79.98 million square meters. Projects under management include commercial properties, technology office properties, high-end residential properties, industrial park properties, public service properties, etc.

Suning Real Estate is the most important asset of Suning Appliance besides Suning Tesco. Under the parent company’s grand strategy of focusing on the main business, Suning Real Estate is regarded as the largest traffic portal for Suning’s smart retail line.

Real estate analyst Yan Yuejin pointed out that with the current acquisition of real estate and retail equity, the scale of commercial real estate development is relatively large. If Suning itself participates in the cooperation, it does not rule out that subsequent real estate business expansion will also be adjusted. In addition, in the current special period, the transfer of equity can enhance cash flow, which is first a positive effect for the company, but in the future, we must also pay attention to whether similar cooperation will affect the business including retail, real estate and other related sectors.

How much more will Suning Real Estate suffer? How will it be positioned within the Suning system in the future? It remains to be seen.

How much is the Galaxy property worth?

The spin-off of property companies to raise funds for listing is a fairly common move by real estate developers in recent years.

As of the end of last year, more than 40 property companies have landed on the capital market, of which about 38 property companies have landed on the Hong Kong stock market, and about 3 have landed on the A-share market.

It should be noted that compared with 2019, investors have become calmer on property stocks, and the market is lowering their valuations. Previously, the first service, Shimao service, KJ Youhuo, etc. broke out at the opening of the market is a wake-up call. But in any case, if the property platform is listed, it will at least be good for the parent company to expand new financing channels.

Suning Appliance chose to pledge or sell the shares of the property management company, rather than seeking to split the IPO, or because of the debt pressure, it needs blood transfusion in the short term.

According to the data from the Enterprise Warning Communication, as of the end of the third quarter of 2020, Suning Appliance’s total liabilities were as high as 299.549 billion yuan, non-current liabilities due within one year were 53.99 billion yuan, short-term borrowings were 49.734 billion yuan, and the ending cash and cash equivalents were only 230.03. 100 million yuan.

In the first half of 2020, Suning Appliance’s revenue was 123.243 billion yuan, down 11% year-on-year; net profit was 784 million yuan, down 69.6% year-on-year, and operating cash outflow was 612 million yuan.

Country Garden Services is a leader in the property management industry. In June 2018, it was spun off from Country Garden Group and successfully listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. As of the end of 2020, it has managed 3277 projects and served 4.24 million owners, with an area under management of 380 million square meters and a contract area of ​​820 million. Square meters, in a leading position in the industry. The annual revenue was 15.7 billion yuan, which is currently the largest revenue in the property sector in the secondary market. In addition, the company also holds tens of billions of cash and equivalents.

Li Changjiang, Executive Director and President of Country Garden Services, once publicly stated that the company may have more than 4,000 projects under management this year, and proposed to achieve a revenue goal of 100 billion in five years.

Country Garden Services, which has a lofty goal and not bad money, started a “buy, buy, buy” model. Last year, it acquired Manguo Kangjie Sanitation Company for 2.45 billion yuan, and Urban Zongheng (elevator advertiser) for 1.52 billion yuan, as well as the smaller Hong Kong Real Estate Industry and Jiakai. Regional property companies in cities and regions.

At the same time that it was reported that the acquisition of Yinhe Property for 3 billion yuan, Country Garden Services also had nearly 4.9 billion yuan to acquire Blu-ray Garbo’s “largest property acquisition case” that has not yet fallen.

If the consideration of 3 billion yuan is true, Country Garden’s offer to Suning has a relatively high premium rate. In contrast, at the beginning of this year Evergrande Property acquired Zhejiang Yatai for 1.5 billion yuan, the latter’s area under management exceeded 80 million square meters; Blu-ray Jiabao, which has an area under management twice that of Yinhe Property, offered only 5 billion yuan—— In the Galaxy property, which covers an area of ​​only 60 million square meters, even if the added value brought by the Suning commercial complex is included, it is worth 3 billion yuan to raise a question mark.

Yinhe Property currently covers more than 200 cities across the country. The projects include commercial complexes (local Suning Plaza), residential and sales offices, industrial parks (towns and logistics centers), office buildings, and public services. There are a large number of projects in Jiangsu Province In other provinces.

Located about 80 km from Hanoi, Van Long is the largest wetland nature reserve in the Northern Delta, located in Gia Vien district, Ninh Binh province.

Van Long has been in operation since 1998 and is now a tourist focus of Vietnam

.

This is the place that owns 2 records of the Center of Vietnam Record Book in 2010: “Place with the most number of white-rump langurs” and “Place with the largest natural picture”.

In addition to the values ​​of flora and fauna, Van Long also owns wonderful pictures of water-based landscapes. Sitting on an old bamboo boat with friends is leisurely walking through the ravine, the two sides are tall grass, squeezed between the water.

This place is home to many flora and fauna, home, feeding place for fish, birds, storks …

Van Long is known as “no waves” because when traveling on a boat on the lagoon, visitors will see the water surface as flat as a giant mirror.

Time to visit Van Long ecological area is about 1 hour – 1.5 hours.

If you come to Dam Van Long in the afternoon, you have the opportunity to admire many different kinds of birds in the sky.

The idyllic landscape here makes every person feel relaxed and peaceful.

The flowers bloom in March and fall in April with drizzle. The spring in the south of the Yangtze River is fleeting, and disappears in a flash. Without the pink and white whitewashing, the spring in the water village is less charming. For Jiangnan people, it is not enough to regret. Just because “Yangzhou will go down in March in Yangchun, and Qintong will arrive in April in the world.” In April, Fangfei disappeared, and when the world was in mid-spring, the people of Taizhou Water Town had a heavy “feast on the water” interpretation at that time. Pursuing the traces of the elk in Jiangyan, dreaming of Qinhu, exploring the ancient folk boating activities, encountering the ancient town of Qintong for a thousand years, and embarking on a fascinating spring journey.

Throughout the ages, thousands of volumes of poems and songs have praised Jiangnan. When it comes to the beauty of Jiangnan, people say that the beauty lies in Suzhou and Hangzhou, but they often forget the diverse scenery of Yangtai. If the food of Yangzhou holds your stomach, then the beauty of Taizhou can grab your heart. Auspicious Taizhou, the most beautiful Jiangyan.

Jiangyan is a “water city” born from water, thriving because of water, and beautiful because of water. In the Jiangnan region, the poetic and picturesque water towns and ancient towns are the same, and within the ever-changing scenery of Jiangyan, there is the Qinhu wetland with the same color of the water and the sky, and the large-scale marching night tour culture “A dream to Qinhu”, which has a national reputation. Qintong Boat Festival, there is also an ancient town of Qintong with more than 20,000 square meters of Ming and Qing ancient buildings… the colorful Jiangyan, there is always a place that is fascinating, and stay for it.

The hometown of elk, Shuiyang Qin Lake

Shiliqin Lake, Kowloon Chaoque. The scull swayed, and the grass grew long and the warblers flew. The scenic Qinhu Wetland is located in the Lixiahe area, one of the three famous depressions in the country, covering an area of ​​806.9 hectares. It is a national wetland park with the theme of “water, wetland and ecology”. The lakes and rivers in the park are criss-crossed, and the fields are dotted with hundreds of species of animals and plants. It is also the habitat of red-crowned cranes and the hometown of elk.

Hearing that “Qin Lake Wetland is a Bibi in the Sky”, I know that this is true when I am in a wet place. Visit the Qinhu National Wetland Park, pass through the scenic gate of an overhead boat, go straight ahead, pass the quiet landscape on both sides, and reach the cruise ship dock. The moment we stepped on the locks of the cruise ship, we turned over the most exciting page of Qinhu Lake, misty and ink-washed. Accompanied by the rumbling sound of the oars moving on the water surface, the vast lake water promotes the velvet aquatic plants to dance lightly. Sometimes waterfowls sing on the reeds, and wild mallards soar on the side of the cruise ship. The original noisy heart suddenly feels comfortable. As the boat travels to the depths of the lake, the promenade in the center of the lake is greeted by the mottled water shadow, which is like a broad road leading to the pure land of bliss. It is refreshing and full of joy.

After disembarking, walk along the tree-lined plank road full of spring. There is a science museum that talks about the Qinhu Wetland. The original use of pictures, text, video, and real-life water circulation system in the museum, for us to popularize the coexistence of people and birds in the Qinhu Wetland. Microcosm of the wonderful world. If you have plenty of time, you might as well follow the tour guide to slowly savor the mystery of the Qin Lake Wetland.

Facing the breeze, Yangliu Yiyi, insects and birds whispered. Stroll in the lake center park, one step at a time, and appreciate the tender beauty of the water village of “cedar forest water corridor, water stream and flower bank”. Many people come to Qin Lake Wetland for the cute elk. According to data records, Qin Lake is the habitat of elk, and a large number of elk fossils have been unearthed here. Today, there are still more than 50 elk living on this wetland, which shows that the natural ecological environment of Qin Lake wetland is extremely superior.

To find the trail of the elk and meet the elk at close range, you need to walk about 7.8 kilometers. Although the distance is long, the air in the park is fresh and the scenery is picturesque. If you walk with friends and revel in the beautiful scenery, you can forget the fatigue of hiking. If you are travelling with an elderly person, you can also choose to take a sightseeing bus. Due to time constraints, we finally had no chance to see the elk on the Yinyin Wetland with its head down drinking water and grazing. If you want to experience the tranquility and safety of the Qinhu wetland in depth, you might as well take a boat ride at the boat dock to experience the wonderful artistic conception of “people swimming in the painting”.

The lush Qinhu Lake is like a book, and the grass and tourists are words written by the breeze. The misty and vast Qinhu Lake is like a painting, shallow traces of water waves and migratory birds under the drizzle. The Qin Lake in the daytime is fresh and refined, gentle and moving, it is fascinating. So, what is the scene of Qin Lake at night?

A feast of light and shadow in the city of water city, a dream of Qin Lake

The beauty of Qinhu Lake will not fade due to the change of time sequence, nor will it be dimmed by the advent of night. The night is drooping, the past silent cruise ship dock, thousands of lights are dim, a dreamlike water city urban light and shadow feast is about to be staged.

When the mountain is silent, the water is quiet, the lights are on, and the cruise ship docks are singing and dancing. The long-awaited “Night Tour to Qin Lake” by thousands of people in Jiangyan finally came out. A light show with the theme of “One Dream of Qin Lake” made up for the “empty” night of Qin Lake, giving travelers a new and novel travel experience and adding a beautiful scenery to Jiangyan.

With the development of the times and the rapid development of technology, night tours have become a must-have for travel life. Back in the past, Jiangyan’s single nightlife, today’s Shuicheng night is dazzling with the night cruise of “Qin Lake in a dream”.

There are some beautiful things in the world, but they can’t be met. It coincided with the advent of “One Dream of Qin Lake”, we were fortunate to watch the night tour of Qin Lake that can be compared to the “Venice of the Water City”. “A Dream of Qin Lake” starts from the Qin Lake Pier, and travels along the route through “Nine Dragons Chaoque”, “Pagoda of Medicine Master”, “Liu Li Zen”, “Dian Jiang Tai”, “South Tower Reading”, “Guzhen Xinxin” Scenic spots such as “Rhyme” reproduce the poignant mythical story of Qinhu Lake through the expression of water curtain projection, water light show, water dance, and drone phalanx. Under the colorful lights, the glazed Zen rhyme of the slender Buddha statue on the lake surface is clearly visible. When the cruise ship circumnavigated the pagoda half a circle, many travellers clasped their hands to worship, hoping for good luck and prosperity.

This exquisite “visual feast” realizes the diversified travel experience of travelers enjoying the day and night scenery of Qin Lake quietly with “one scene during the day and one dream at night”. The ineffective Qin Lake tour is rejected, which is amazing. !

The largest floating temple fair in the world: Qintong Boat

After the Qingming Festival, the people of Jiangyan ushered in the most grand festival of the year: the Qintong Boat Festival. One side of water and soil nurtures one side of people. Qintong Water Town is agile due to water. In the same Dragon Boat Festival, there are dragon boat races in many places with similar traditions. In the Qintong area of ​​Jiangyan, Jiangsu Province, since the Song Dynasty, there has been an ancient folk boating activity. In 2007, the Qintong Boat Festival was listed as one of the first batch of intangible cultural heritage in the country and became one of China’s top ten folklore festivals, so it became famous.

Although I missed the blooming season of spring flowers in the south of the Yangtze River, I happened to encounter the world’s largest water temple fair: the Qintong meeting boat. There are losses and gains. How do you know or be blessed? Let it be wherever you go, lucky to see it!

It is reported that Qintong Boat Festival was originally because the locals protected the paradise of Qintong in order to thank the Yue Family Army for their heroic resistance to gold. Therefore, during the Ching Ming Festival, the spontaneous punting came here to pay tribute to the anti-gold heroes Yue Fei and the Yue Family Army. Of the undead. Gradually, the phenomenon of scrambling to sweep the tomb and commemorate the heroic soul on the Qingming Festival. Over time, this gradually evolved into the annual Qintong Boat Festival. For thousands of years, it has been passed on from generation to generation without interruption.

On a sunny morning, at the Qin Lake Meeting Boat Wharf, a grand folk meeting boat kicked off. Thousands of boats competed, hundreds of boats competed, thousands of people watched the ceremony, and the event was unprecedented. The charm of the water village is as beautiful as a picture. Folklore nostalgia, both refined and popular.

This grand floating temple fair was held as scheduled, not because of one person, but by thousands of ordinary Jiangyan people. I heard from the locals that ten days before the Qintong meeting boat, the local villages participating in the meeting boat will start to select the meeting boats, poles and rowers for the competition to test the water, and train the “Qi” directly to participate in the competition. .

On the day of the Qintong Boat Festival, thousands of people poured into the viewing platform. When the wonderful folk performances on the stage are over, with a loud salute blasting into the sky, the colorful smoke diffuses, and the Qintong boat competition officially begins. First of all, the sacrificial ship sailed into the lake area in the center of the stage of the meeting ship, followed by several tribute ships representing local culture, economy, and life. Secondly, there is a dragon boat immediately after another. Finally, there is the local Zhuzi boats in Qintong, with colorful flags fluttering, dry bamboo dancing, drums clamoring, and everyone responds.

The Qintong meeting boat is a grand ceremony of water, a gathering of boats, and people’s hard work. Compared with the ordinary landscape and scenery, this annual folk custom activity is more worth watching and intriguing.

Qintong Ancient Town, a “Living Thousand Year Old Town”

Walking into Jiangnan, there are countless ancient water towns. For an ancient town to stand out from the same Jiangnan ancient town, it must have a shining spot that “others” cannot imitate. The ancient town of Qintong in Jiangyan is just such an “unconventional” ancient water town. Except for the ubiquitous small bridges and flowing water, secluded residences in deep alleys, and stone-paved streets, this ancient town has more than 20,000 square meters of well-preserved Ming and Qing ancient buildings, and there are locals living in the streets and lanes. It is a “living”. Thousand-year old town.

Strolling in this ancient town, there are people rushing to work, people walking around, and people busy selling snacks… A scene and a thing are not deliberately arranged, but the original appearance of the ancient town.
