“ So beautiful ‘, many tourists exclaimed. “ This cable car must be done in the West, but how can Vietnam do it? “. “ It’s Vietnam that did it “. “ That’s amazing, the forest, the mountains are so steep, it’s really talented to get the cable up “. “ Must use a helicopter, right? “… Questions from visitors mixed in with the sound of loudspeakers introducing the Sun World Fansipan Legend tourist area. Suddenly, it has been 5 years since Sun Group inaugurated the cable car line connecting the earth to the sky, Trinh Van Ha, Dang Ngoc Hong and their teammates have just returned to Sapa. Fansipan cable car “flying” through Muong Hoa valley. “ Everything has changed so much “. Sapa is no longer as attractive as the day when surveying engineer Trinh Van Ha carried a backpack for 8-9 hours on the bus from Hanoi to Fansipan. The stories between the two guys who used to eat the dew and sleep in the mountains every day kept flowing, on the cable car cabin – something they used to wonder constantly “ Can it be done and when will it be done? , when standing from the foot of the mountain looking up, do not know where is the top of Fansipan that they have to take the cable car to. “ Initially, the cable car station was planned to be built in Sin Chai. But there, if you choose to set the station too low, guests will not be able to see the beauty of Muong Hoa valley. If placed in a high position, it will affect the unspoiled landscape. The current departure station location is high enough for visitors to see the valley, low enough not to disrupt the beautiful landscape of the Hoang Lien range. “- the story of choosing the location of the departure station, the arrival station, and the cable car poles, Trinh Van Ha still remembers it clearly. Because you had to climb all 5 mountains around Fansipan peak several times before coming to the final decision. “ The shack is still there. 700 thousand/night Dang Ngoc Hong pointed to the shack peeking under the forest canopy, recalling the memory of the early days of climbing Fansipan, not having time to return to town when it was dark, the ethnic people charged a fee to stay in a shack for a night more than a hotel. 3 stars. The fear of getting lost in the night in the middle of Hoang Lien forest made him shiver. Sun Group engineers went to survey Fansipan in 2013. From the cable car cabin looking at the mountain range on the other side, only seeing 35kV electric poles soaring out of the forest, the feeling of reverberation echoed in him. On that day, every morning, “human ants” (indigenous people were hired to carry materials to the mountains to build electricity pylons) diligently carrying cement, iron and steel… along the mountain’s spine. climb up. “ At one point, 400-500 Hmong (Sapa) and Thai (Lai Chau) people were mobilized to speed up the construction progress. “- Mr. Hong said. Without that 35kV power line, there is no Fansipan cable car now. Making the power line to the top is equally arduous as making the cable car. That day, the luggage that Trinh Van Ha brought to Fansipan was the experience of the guy who had participated in 2 cable car routes to set a world record in Ba Na. But all does not seem to help much, maybe, just a little experience in the jungle, but the forest in Fansipan is far from Ba Na forest. Monolithic stone is transported to the top of Fansipan by human power. In the first days of coming to Sapa, the feeling of excitement quickly gave way to skepticism. The bone-chilling cold at the top was like a needle piercing the skin. Putting down the phone after the quick calls home, he wondered: why did I accept my boss’s invitation to come to this sacred forest and poison water? Or, at best, go home? Ask, to answer yourself: don’t give up. Three months before April 30, 2015, every day, Mr. Nguyen Khac Tuong, captain of the LCS cable maintenance team, signed papers for thousands of people to enter Hoang Lien National Park to work for the cable car company. only about 100 people could stay. Up to now, the nights of heavy snow that had to stay at the T4 tower still haunt Chiang. “ Always have a stick by your side, sometimes you have to get up to see if the canvas is sunken to use a stick to poke the snow down, otherwise the shack will collapse. “. Sleeping on your back? The sleep of those who climb the forest and climb mountains all day has never been as easy as people think. On rainy and windy nights, more than ten boys crawled into a shack set up low like a sowing tent in the countryside, half sitting, half lying down waiting for the morning sun, anxiously afraid of the flood. Snakes, graters, half-cooked meals, days when the flood broke up, food could not be moved to the mountains, eating raw instant noodles with little breath… In this life, none of you can forget Fansipan that day. “Duck tent” to avoid the sun and rain of engineers and construction workers on the top of Fansipan. The harshness of the peak of 3143m is a test for Sun Group and foreign experts. After a lot of surveys, the results show that with a steep terrain, the single-wire cable car will not be able to withstand the gusts of wind that can reach level 12 in Fansipan. And the solution proposed by Doppelmayr cable car experts is a three-wire cable car – a technology that Sun Group engineers have never tried. “ Compared with a single-wire cable car, besides the skyrocketing construction cost, the implementation is many times more complicated. 3-wire cable car requires very high accuracy with a tolerance of only 2.5mm – an extremely difficult requirement, it takes a lot of time to get the right construction plan. “- engineer Trinh Van Ha said. And Sun Group chose the three-wire option. Why? Can you still keep the one-line option that was successful in Ba Na? For the safety of visitors. In high wind conditions, the 3-wire cable can still operate smoothly to bring passengers to the top or back to the station. And for the safety of Hoang Lien forest. Using 3-wire cable technology, the number of cable poles will be much less, and this will be the solution that has the least impact on the environment and natural landscape. “ Minimizing interference in the environment when it is a prerequisite “, Mr. Dang Ngoc Hong once again confirmed the explanations of engineer Trinh Van Ha. Decision despite the cost, difficulty. Choose to do it manually so as not to affect the environment. Sun Group posed a difficult problem for its engineers, and made Doppelmayr’s own experts doubtful. The difference in construction of Fansipan cable car. Initially, when the service cable was almost finished, the basic service station had just finished the foundation. Witnessing the image of Vietnamese workers digging manually, foreign experts said that it took 5 years for this work to take shape. However, after just over 2 years, Fansipan cable car was officially inaugurated, in the joy of people eating wind, sleeping dew, turning themselves into “tarzan” for many months in the forest. Looking back now, they still wonder, somehow, that day, I can make it through. But one thing is certain that you all know, it is the care, love, and camaraderie in difficult times that created the motivation for the Fansipan army that day to conquer thousands, creating a work for a lifetime. . “ Day by day, terrors became the norm. Love, solidarity, care, sharing from a piece of rice, a cigarette, a warm coat are the last things left. “, Mr. Trinh Van Ha is sad. Cable car to Arrival Station. Among the noisy guests on how to build the Fansipan cable car, it is not clear if anyone could understand that the Sun Group people pulled the cable by hand, following the forest road, not by helicopter like the experts. Doppelmayr family still do.

From the abode of the poor fisherman Hon Thom is a beautiful island located in the South of Phu Quoc island with an area of ​​about 6km2. With an equivalent area and favored by nature with wild, poetic beauty and beautiful scenery, this “emerging” tropical paradise is likened to Boracay of Vietnam. Hon Thom used to be a poor fishing village, a resting place for ships from all over the world. 10 years ago, Hon Thom was literally a “fish market” filled with all kinds of fishing boats of all sizes anchored to exchange and trade after the trip to sea. The coast is gently sloping, small cruise ships cannot dock close to the shore, so it is rare for a group of tourists to visit for a while. Tourists go to the island early in the morning, swim in the sea, watch the sky and see the mountains, then quickly get on the canoe and board the ship back to the mainland before the afternoon has passed. Hon Thom then looked like a beautiful girl still hiding in the middle of the ocean. On the white sandy shore are small but quite bustling markets, all mainly serving strangers from fishing boats in Ca Mau, Phu Quoc, Rach Gia… anchored outside. The temporary shops set up almost exclusively sell to people taking the train to stop by. Follow the small sandy road lined with coconut trees, about a kilometer long running from the south to the north of the main island where the island’s inhabitants live. Due to the peculiarities of custom, fishing boats often pull together to change places, so the rows of shops or houses are just thatched roofs, sagging wooden houses, it is difficult to find a spacious walled house on the island. This island is about 6km2 wide. The awakening of Hon Thom In 2015, the Phu Quoc district government determined that Hon Thom – the largest island in the An Thoi island cluster would develop in the direction of entertainment and resort tourism. And very quickly, after only a few years, the small island infrastructure completely changed with “terrible” projects invested by Sun Group. If before, the island commune still did not have electricity to the grid, the phone wave was also very unstable, and it was inconvenient to travel to the island, now, thanks to the world’s longest three-wire cable car system, it is less than 15 years old. minutes, visitors will be at the island. Not only the grid is ready to light up day and night, but the wifi is also covered to the cable car cabin. At the end of the cable car in Hon Thom, a vibrant four-season Sun World Hon Thom Nature Park entertainment complex has also been formed, turning the once sleazy “fish market” into a top-class entertainment center on the island. Ngoc Phu Quoc. The performances and festivals are jubilant everywhere, plus the most modern water park in Southeast Asia Aquatopia makes the visitor’s experience seem to be endless. The beaches of Nom, Bai Nam, Bai Chuong, Bai Trao, which were somewhat “wild” and quietly beside the leaning coconut shadows, have now really “awakened” by a series of sea experiences such as jet skiing, paragliding, kayak,… attract tourists to have fun and forget the way home. To the future of luxury residence of the rich The rapid “makeover” of Hon Thom has led to a change in the tourism landscape on the island, tourists no longer focus on the North and Central islands but focus on the South, An Thoi archipelago area, which attracts Number 1 is Hon Thom island. In 2019, Phu Quoc welcomed more than 5.1 million visitors, making the main contribution to Kien Giang’s revenue of nearly 19,000 billion VND, of which the southern island area, notably Hon Thom, also contributed to the number of visitors. small. Along with receiving a huge capital poured into transport and tourism infrastructure, in the near future Hon Thom promises to become the new tourism capital of Phu Quoc. Currently, the rich have begun to “hunt” for the opportunity to find a second home on this paradise island. The attraction of an ideal, fresh and affluent life on a rich tourist island in the middle of the ocean is always the desire of many people, so experts predict that a wave of migration will soon appear. to Hon Thom. It is believed that soon this place will be as busy as Boracay of the Philippines with a busy chain of business shops, high-class resorts by the beaches with potential. The strengths of Hon Thom will be “activated” with unprecedented strength. And the South island in general, Hon Thom in particular will be a lively destination, representing the development of Phu Quoc. Therefore, this is the golden time to own a second home in Hon Thom with a small amount of capital at the early stages of development, before it becomes a highly sought-after property just a few years later on the island. tourist island “earn money”. Thus, you can both enjoy the vacation of your dreams, and at the same time can “pocket” a large profit from rental or self-service travel business. Seize the opportunity soon, creating a prosperous life. Prosperity and prosperity in this place will not take too much time.

Accordingly, the ICU ICU will be equipped with the most modern ICU machines and equipment today, such as: Central oxygen coordinator; Compressor; Air dryer; digital portable X-ray machine; Patient monitor ≥ 5 parameters; Low pressure continuous suction machine; Cyclic dialysis machine (HD); Non-invasive hemodynamic… The time for equipment supply and installation is expected to be completed within 07 days from the date of handing over the site which is eligible for construction. With some special machines that need to be imported from abroad, the handover time may take longer, but Sun Group said it will try to push the progress as soon as possible so that the Center can be put into operation in a timely manner. treatment for critically ill COVID-19 patients. Sharing about the decision to sponsor Bac Giang at this time, Ms. Bui Thi Thanh Huong, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, General Director of Sun Group said: “Bac Giang is the most complicated epidemic center in the country, demanding with the support and help of the Government and the whole community to be able to overcome. Helping Bac Giang fight the epidemic is also helping the whole country to overcome the pandemic soon.” Since the beginning of the epidemic season, Sun Group has been one of the pioneering enterprises, accompanying many localities across the country in the prevention and control of COVID-19. Right from the days when Vietnam had the first COVID-19 case, Sun Group’s Van Don International Airport has pioneered to welcome back flights carrying Vietnamese citizens from the “epidemic centers” in the world. Up to now, Van Don airport has welcomed 200 rescue flights, bringing about 40,000 Vietnamese people back home and foreign experts to Vietnam to work. During the 2nd and 3rd COVID-19 epidemics, Sun Group sponsored and directly installed and constructed two large-scale field hospitals, creating a “steel shield” for Da Nang city and Da Nang city. Hai Duong, further strengthen the conditions to overcome the pandemic when these two localities become epidemic centers.
