Following the social network during the epidemic, I suddenly saw that my friends shared more pictures of camping and family picnics. Quiet, not crowded but still experience and rest with familiar people. Camping is not a new form of tourism, but perhaps now “on the throne” when tourism activities are limited, everyone is self-aware of distance to prevent epidemics. And camping is one of the best ways for people to relax and enjoy nature; in parallel with compliance with regulations on prevention and control of the Covid-19 epidemic. Camping is a great way to enjoy unspoiled nature. Has anyone told you that our country has countless beautiful places to camp? Try spending a weekend to experience it. I like the mountain roads leading to the Dong Cao steppe (Bac Giang), where I can zoom out to see the majestic mountain scenery, love the feeling of freedom in the middle of Dong Lam valley (Lang Son province). ), where there are green grass and green river. Who doesn’t like to hear the waves crashing right next to their ears on a camping night in Tuy Hoa (Phu Yen), or open their eyes to see a sea of ​​white clouds in Da Lat (Lam Dong)… Fresh air, wide mind The openness, the ultimate sense of freedom and the slow pace of life when truly immersed in nature can be “addictive” to anyone. The beautiful sea of ​​clouds view from the campsite in Dong Cao (Bac Giang). Going camping is not boring because outdoor activities are extremely diverse. Hiking in the forest, fishing, yoga, cycling around the lake, kayaking, SUP board on the river or in the sea, … all consume a lot of energy and require basic skills. But sometimes, visitors just need to be spoiled for water in the cool water, “foot massage” with pebbles in the stream bed, walk together on the lawn, watch the sun set in a sunset. .. is enough. For families with young children, camping becomes even more interesting. Away from TV screens, phones, children will be free to explore, have new lessons about the natural world around in the most realistic way. I love that the whole family comes together to prepare food for a barbecue, which can be incomplete but is always delicious. By the flickering campfire, everyone told stories together, playing guitar under the starry sky. Affection, family cohesion, friends are also a benefit that camping brings. Sharing moments together makes camping more memorable. Safe, environmentally friendly With self-sufficient tourism such as camping, safety is always a top priority. In addition to fully and thoughtfully preparing furniture, tools and costumes; Everyone must always consider and choose a suitable camping site for the weather, time and participants. Regarding the location, the experience to remember is to avoid areas with difficult terrain, or rain at night, high winds or too far from residential areas, without phone signal. First aid items and some simple medicine should always be on hand. The dishes when camping are not picky, do not require a chef’s talent, but always have to be hygienic, fresh and attractive. The picnic meal is simple but still very attractive. For me, it only takes the most basic tools and a car to get to the camping site not too far from home, but there are many people who like a thoughtful camping trip. Pickup trucks, minivans like a mobile home with full of handy camping gear are becoming more and more popular with Vietnamese families. But if you are inexperienced and shy of places that are too wild, there are many tourist campsites with relatively convenient services. From Hanoi, there are many places that campers whisper to each other and quickly become familiar such as Ban Rom tourist area Soc Son, Dong Mo, Dong Do lake, Son Tinh Camp… Not far from the city center In Ho Chi Minh City, besides Tri An lake, Chua Chan mountain, Ba Den mountain, there are also many campsites in Ba Ria – Vung Tau, Dong Nai, Binh Thuan open to serve tourists. Besides, grasping this trend, many travel agencies have also opened tours with suitable services for families, groups of friends, even “glamping” (glamorous + camping – style camping style. luxury and comfort). Natural places that are not too far from home or are not famous can become camping spots, limiting contact with crowds. “Take nothing but photos, leave nothing but footprints”, camping requires each of us to be more conscious in protecting the environment, collecting waste and minimizing the impact on the environment. surrounding nature. There have been “camping without leaving garbage” movements called for and responded by many camping lovers, spreading beautiful actions. And of course, camping, like any other activity, needs to comply with epidemic prevention regulations, so that the trip is a good memory when you return home.

Besides, setting up tents, camping, barbecues, campfires… also help increase opportunities for communication, understanding and bonding between groups of friends or family members. Another plus point is that the cost of each camping trip is often “softer” than other forms of tourism, making this type of tourism increasingly popular, especially for the general group of tourists who do not have a long-term travel conditions, and do not spend a large amount on each trip. Mr. Hoang Phuong from Yen Phu ward, Tay Ho district, Hanoi said that when there was no epidemic, every year, he and his wife tried to take their children to travel in the country or abroad at least twice a year. During the summer vacation or Tet holiday, each trip lasts about four or five days so that the children have enough time to learn about the culture of each land. However, when the epidemic appeared, in order to both ensure safety and meet the needs of his children’s discovery and experience, he often took advantage of taking his wife and children to have a picnic by personal car on days relax for week. The destination in Hanoi chosen by his family is easy to move, owns beautiful nature and has many experience activities such as: Ban Rom Eco-tourism Area, Dong Mo Camping Sport, Yen So Park , Ham Lon mountain, Ba Vi National Park… It can be seen that, with rich natural resources, in all three regions of our country, there are destinations known as “camping paradise”, from the valleys, hills, and green lakes in the area. mountains in the north to beaches, clear plateaus in the central and southern regions. To meet the needs of tourists, many travel agencies have put camping tourism in their category of activities with the desire to diversify products and direct visitors to participate more in ecotourism, tourism. responsible for nature and the environment. Many camping resorts with favorable geographical locations have also been formed and put into operation, providing many services available with colorful tents, essential utensils, grills… In order to improve With the awareness of environmental protection and increasing local cultural experience, many resorts also organize camping activities for visitors such as visiting craft villages, organizing outdoor parties, fishing, etc. pulling nets… Recently, there are quite a few camping resorts that have received high appreciation from tourists such as: Son Tinh Camp (Hanoi), Canh Duong Beach Camp (Hue), Trung Luong picnic area (Binh Dinh), Tanyoli tourist area (Ninh Thuan), Coco Beach Camp (Binh Thuan)… In order to have a camping trip that is both attractive and safe, visitors need to carefully research the terrain and weather to have a thorough preparation of costumes, food, and carry-on items such as camping tents. , sleeping bags, first aid bags, blankets, stoves, power banks, especially garbage bags so as not to litter the environment… According to travel experts, tourists, especially families with young children, should plug them in.

When I went up, there were 4-5 groups setting up camps, until I left. , some people even forget to clean up,” he said. Garbage includes plastic bottles, plastic bags thrown indiscriminately on the hill. Photo: Quoc Dung. Beer cans and plastic bags were thrown at the campfire, causing a loss of beauty of the hill.

I hope everyone has a little sense,” Nguyen Lam expressed his opinion. Many tour groups, camping to leave garbage on the hills. Photo: Quoc Dung. Some members said that during the long holiday, tourists flocked to Da Lat to enjoy the cool climate. Not only renting homestays, resort hotels, many people tend to like new experiences, rent tents to sleep in the forest, by the lake. “It is worth mentioning that some components have no intention of protecting the environment. Passing through Tuyen Lam Lake, heading to Happy Hill cafe, I observe on both sides of the road many families and groups of friends spread tarps to eat and drink. and singing. When they come back, the cans and garbage are not cleaned, they would rather put them neatly in the bag”, Huu Thien (HCMC tourist) bored.

During the first 3 days of the holidays of April 30 and May 1, the trend of picnicking became more and more popular with many families in the North when the Covid-19 epidemic was at risk of an outbreak. Due to the complex terrain, groups of tourists often use high-rise vehicles to enter the place. The camping site chosen by groups of tourists is a place with charming landscapes such as mountains, rivers, streams, forests… In the photo, the group of Ms. Thuy and Ms. Lan in Hanoi looked to the Boi River area (Hoang Hoa). Binh) stretch canvas to avoid the sun, bring tables and chairs with food and drink to enjoy and admire the scenery. Nearby there are about 20 other groups of guests. They use tents so that they can stay until the evening, even overnight here. The weather in the North in the first three days of the holiday is quite cool, below 30 degrees Celsius, convenient for fun activities. Most of the groups of tourists set up tables and chairs by the stream, dip their feet in the water, drink coffee and enjoy the cool feeling. Mr. Nguyen Thanh Tuan (taking photos) said that the house is in Duong Noi urban area, Ha Dong district, but he has to go to Bac Ninh to pick up his family and then come here to have fun. Although he has had many picnics, this is the first time he has come to the Boi River area, Hoa Binh. While Mr. Tuan was busy serving his sisters, his friend was in charge of cooking. Everyone is expected to stay here until the sun goes down to leave. Here, young children can swim in the shallows or use pontoon boats to swim on the stream. The deepest part is only 1.5 meters. Khanh (a 9th grader from Hanoi) is embarrassed and afraid of falling while practicing handling oars. In this section, the stream is not strong, but it is enough to float an inflatable pontoon boat for picnickers. This group of young people arrived late and was already full. They had to wade to the other side of the stream to set up camp and set up a barbecue over the water. Huyen, an 11th grader from Hanoi, is practicing grilling for the first time. My family prepared all the tools, loaded two cars to serve lunch and dinner by the stream. “This day when the risk of the Covid-19 epidemic returns, only going camping in an empty place is safe and not having to jostle with anyone. It is a real relaxation and relaxation after tiring working days.” , Mr. Tuan shared.

The clear blue bay with a view to the bottom, the island without tourist fees, cheap seafood, and gentle locals are the factors that attract visitors to the “green pearl” of Binh Thuan. Reader Tien Ti Ton shared a memorable camping trip with a group of 7 friends on Phu Quy island for 3 days and 2 nights. Phu Quy has a different beauty compared to the islands of Vietnam. Move Ho Chi Minh City to Phan Thiet: You can take a bus to the coastal city of Phan Thiet, the travel time is about 4 hours. Because we want to be proactive about the time as well as enjoy the scenery along the way, our group chose motorbikes as a means of transportation. Phan Thiet to Phu Quy Island: There are many shipping lines for you to choose to move to the island such as Phu Quy Express, Superdong, Phu Quy Island… We choose the Superdong train, take VIP seats and return to normal seats to have a variety of experiences. However, I think it’s better to take the VIP seat because the cabin is quite quiet, served with filtered water, cold towels and a recliner. Meanwhile, the normal class is the seat, which is quite hot. Those who go to the island on the weekend should book tickets from 2 weeks to 1 month in advance because the train often runs out of seats early. After more than 2 hours floating on the immense sea, the group arrived on Phu Quy island. Visitors can easily record beautiful frames on Phu Quy island. Stay There are many motels and hotels on Phu Quy island. However, the quality of tourist services is not equal to those of high-class accommodation in big cities. The plus point is that the rooms are clean and the prices are quite reasonable, ranging from 300,000 to 400,000 VND/night. We stopped at My Nhat guesthouse. The owner is quite enthusiastic, friendly, the room is newly built and clean. Price for double room is 400,000 VND and single room is 300,000 VND. We also rent motorbikes here for 100,000 VND/day.

Our group chose Hanh Huong motel, rented a dormitory room for 600,000 VND/night for 7 people. The host is enthusiastic and cares about us throughout our dining journey in Phu Quy. Day 1 The group had a light breakfast, then at 6:30 a.m. depart for the pier. Because we had completed medical declaration procedures and bought train tickets in advance, after sending our motorbikes, we were able to get on the train right away, starting the journey to discover Phu Quy. The group arrived at the island at 9:15. Someone picked up their group at the wharf and took motorbikes to move on the island. After that, the group moved to the motel near the shipping dock. Since we intend to camp on the island, we went to the Residency Committee. Phu Quy is a military island, visitors who want to camp should ask the motel for a permit first. Visitors need to keep the common hygiene, should not make campfires, bustling activities, noisy on the island. After that, we went to Hoa Thuong hot beef restaurant for lunch. The space is airy, even though the restaurant is crowded, the food is also quite good. After lunch, we went to Sea Wind coffee. The shop is located near the 7-color stone beach, cool sea view, suitable for escaping the summer afternoon heat. The group visited the Phu Quy rafting village to buy seafood. Phu Quy is famous for delicious, nutritious and cheap seafood. We bought nearly 2 kg of squid leaves, oysters, crabs, sea urchins, all for only 1.3 million VND. Cao Cat Mountain is the next stop in the entertainment journey in Phu Quy. Admiring the stacked cliffs or checking-in to the ancient Linh Son pagoda on the top of the mountain are unforgettable experiences here. Cao Cat Mountain possesses steep cliffs with strange shapes. Sunset fell, the group decided to watch the sun set at Long Vi. After that, we moved to the accommodation, processed seafood and washed to go to the campsite. Trieu Duong Bay and Phut slope have registered campers. Therefore, we planted it at Small Beach. The view here is quite chill, we can see the sunrise right in front of our eyes in the morning, especially there is no phone signal, so we feel separate from the noisy city. However, the way to Bai Nho has to walk quite hard. We were fortunate to have a local friend guide us, so the schedule was quite convenient. After setting up camp, we grilled seafood, enjoyed homemade dinner together. Eat, drink, talk until about 10 pm, the whole association cleans up, looks at the stars and goes to the tent to rest. Friends camping on Phu Quy island. Day 2 We got up early to catch the sunrise but that day there were quite a lot of clouds, we couldn’t hunt the sunrise. Around 6 o’clock, the group cleaned up the tent and garbage, then went back to the motel to put things and take a shower. After that, we have breakfast and coffee at the property. Trieu Duong Bay is the first check-in point of the new day. It has a wide beach, white sand, stretches to the top with clear blue sea, suitable for swimming, camping or picnicking. However, the scenery was not too special, so we only visited for a short time. The group continued to check-in the Phu Quy flagpole. The flagpole on Phu Quy island represents Vietnam’s territorial sovereignty. From here, you can take in the view of the emerald green bay, fine sand and undulating cliffs. Next, we stopped at Ganh Hang, Infinity Lake and Sung Sung slot. The check-in cluster is favored by paparazzi and backpackers because of its many magical image angles. The road here is a bit difficult to go, but the picturesque scenery will not let you down. Phu Quy Island has many check-in points for visitors to experience. At noon, we went back to the motel, helped by the owner to cook. After that, the group took a lunch break to refuel for the afternoon exploration of Hon Tranh. 14:00, Hon Tranh tour guide arrives at the guesthouse to pick up the group. Hon Tranh is about 3 km from Phu Quy island, so the group only takes about 15 minutes to move. This is a military base to protect the important sovereignty of the sea and islands of Binh Thuan waters. In recent years, tourism in Phu Quy has grown more and more, attracting tourists to explore this beautiful island. The wild beauty of Hon Tranh attracts tourists. On the canoe, visitors will be able to fish with a line according to the instructions. However, there was a member who was seasick and that day the sea was rough, so the fishing time was not much. The weather was hot and sunny, the group only checked-in a few beautiful places in Hon Tranh. Swimming, boating, diving to see corals, and going out with fishermen to catch and process seafood on boats are popular activities on the island. We decided to paddle SUP, watch the sunset, enjoy the fresh air here. After a long day with many interesting experiences, the group went home, took a cool bath, rested, then bought a seafood hot pot at Mesh Sea Food and went home to eat. After eating and drinking, all packed their luggage to return to the mainland the next day. Day 3 The ship had a tidal problem, so it departed at 11am. So, on the last morning on Phu Quy island, we decided to go to Phiet slope and rock beach to watch the sunrise. Sunrise at Phot slope. After that, everyone went to eat meat vermicelli, fried vermicelli, and banh chung, even at the crossroads entering the port. The noodles at the restaurant are quite delicious. Spinach jelly is a strange dish not to be missed here. After that, we moved to Teacher’s Tomb. There are artificial lakes on the sea with unique architecture, which are the background in the frames taken by young people. Teacher’s grave is a favorite check-in point for young people. Phong Dien is the next check-in point. The fans here are built to generate electricity to serve the people on the island. The road to visit is quite impressive, the two sides are the sea and the poplar trees casting shadows on the path. Next, the group stopped at the wall to check-in Phu Quy island and the 7-color embankment. The vibrant colors spread along the embankment are ideal suggestions for creating virtual live images. At the same time, visitors can come here for a walk, enjoy the wind or catch the sunset. The embankment attracts visitors to check-in in Phu Quy.

Cloud Tour Highlights: National Parks

France has 11 national parks and nature reserves, accounting for about 10% of the country’s total area. They are home to many rare plants and animals. The two national parks in the Alps in eastern France are the Vanoise National Park and the Ecrins National Park.

The Vanoise National Park was established in 1963 and is the first national park in France. It is a sister park with the Grand Paradiso National Park in Italy, sharing a 14-kilometer border. Vanoise National Park is located in the province of Savoie, with a diverse geological environment, including mountains with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters and open river valleys. The original glaciers are still preserved. Due to the special terrain and climatic environment, there are about 2,000 animal species and more than 2,400 plant species in the Vanoise National Park.

The Ecoland National Park in the southern Alps was awarded the title of “European Alpine Park” by the European Commission. There are 150 mountains above 3000 meters above sea level and about 10,000 hectares of glaciers. Traveling here, you can see the vast mountain pastures and distinctive valleys. The charming pastoral scenery softens the wild beauty of the mountains and brings shocking visual effects.

These two parks in the Alps are a paradise for hikers. The park has launched a series of hiking routes in accordance with the four seasons, age groups and different exercise intensities. From hiking for the whole family for children to high-intensity training for outdoor sports enthusiasts, you can find a suitable route here to enjoy the Alps. Close contact.

What is rare is that these two parks are very close to famous ski resorts, such as Chamonix, Courchevel, Megeve, Meribel, etc. The snow season of higher altitude ski resorts can last until the end of March or even later . Come here in summer. June to July is when the lavender is in full bloom in the southern part of the French Oroa region, where the park is located, and the vast sea of ​​purple flowers covers the entire valley.

Every November, step on the squeaky leaves from the park and drive 40 minutes to the Beaujolais area. Don’t forget to taste a glass of new wine before heading to Peruges to experience the authentic medieval French town .
