(Photo: CTV / Vietnam +) Enjoying a royal lunch in a luxurious, classical and artistic atmosphere with someone is already “formidable”. But if you put all that scene between a yacht designed according to royal architecture, it is imbued with the spirit of Vietnamese history and culture and especially floating in the midst of a wonderful natural masterpiece Bai Tu Long Bay. How will your feelings be? Personally, I just want to say “WOW is one experience has reached the end of my passion for beauty, especially my “lavishly colored” beauty before a classy party. And I call this an artistic cruise – where the beauty of artifacts fully blends with the splendor of architecture, art and especially cuisine … of a yacht. “Privileges of a queen ” Amidst the multitude of artistic values ​​on Emperor Cruises Ha Long, I want to choose for myself a “stop” is food. Because it is really different and unique in that, art seems to cover each dish. Where the beauty of the natural artifacts are fully blended with the splendor of architecture, art and especially the cuisine on the cruise. (Photo: CTV / Vietnam +) While chef Le Duc Lung modestly introduced this as A la carte menu, at that moment I thought “oh no, it’s exactly Fine Dining – exquisite culinary experience. and luxury. ” Because, right in the party, all my senses were awakened first of all with a very interesting feeling like being lost in a miniature palace. The waitress kindly arranged chairs, spread napkins, poured glasses of white wine so that I could enjoy the beautiful space with sophisticated and beautifully presented dishes appearing on the high-class ceramic dishes … together melodious, romantic music. The impression is that they are all “mobile” on the beautiful pristine Bai Tu Long bay, so that I can enjoy the delicious dishes, sip a glass of wine with numbness at the tip of the tongue while letting my mind drift along the “Slow motion nature footage” was hovering in front of her eyes, just outside the other’s glass frame yacht . Abalone appetizer soup. (Photo: Xuan Mai / Vietnam +) Our lunch started with such beautiful and impressive emotions before officially “on the tray” with abalone soup, banana flower salad with chicken, then grilled oyster with onion oil, grilled lobster served with rice. roasted and seafood sauce, ending with traditional lotus seed longan tea. Everything is fit, harmonious from taste, flavor, color and enough to stimulate all senses. So long to reaffirm one thing, all of those experiences are definitely Fine Dining. A fine dining aboard a cruise inspired by the lavish lifestyle of King Bao Dai, the last king of feudal Vietnam. To mingle between the royal but cozy space thanks to the classical architecture and the all-wood interior, especially the modern direction with the twisted wooden staircase in this architectural style. and for the dishes to feel more delicious, more standard of royal style, try to “transform” a little, immerse yourself into kings and queens with ancient-style ao dai prepared by the shipping company. . The meal continued with banana flower salad with chicken, then grilled oyster with onion oil, grilled lobster served with fried rice and seafood sauce, ending with lotus seed longan tea. (Photo: Xuan Mai / Vietnam +) In ancient times, only the rulers could enjoy abalone soup, longan lotus seed tea and wear silk robes. Each meal is often elaborated with dozens of types of precious dishes. And on this ship bearing the name of the Emperor, from clothing, cuisine, space is a story imbued with traditional culture of the South. It must have been that the owner of the ship had to be very knowledgeable in the selection of fundamental values ​​so that the Emperor himself was a different and unique destination with stories from his own cultural cues. On that journey, sometimes I had to brush away the moments of my passion for the paintings of the man known as “picasso Vietnam” Pham Luc, wandering about with the collection of old photos. Royal ceramics and antiques, or negligently drift along the heritage’s unique natural picture to focus on the cuisine. The dish is presented in a sophisticated and beautiful manner on a set of high-end ceramic dishes in old style. (Photo: Xuan Mai / Vietnam +) If the other yachts, the kitchen parts operate at a fixed time, at Emperor, the kitchen is always ready to red fire so that I or my “friends” can order food at any time, eat in the room, at the restaurant, or rooftop as you like and are enthusiastically served by the staff in the 1930s-style dresses. I suddenly found myself pampered like a queen. Because as soon as I stepped onto the Emperor’s yacht, I was given that privilege, the privilege of a queen. “Western service” prices in Vietnam dong Before COVID-19 broke out around the world, The Emperor ran across Bai Tu Long Bay – which is a territory reserved for international luxury visitors, with a very modest number of rooms (only 10 cabins, including 4 Signature rooms, 4 Stateroom rooms and 2 Royal – Royal rooms) on more floor area. 600m2. Also because yachts are made to target the high-end foreign segment with expensive prices compared to domestic consumption. But now the epidemic has caused the world to change to adapt and while it is not possible to welcome Western guests, the fleet falls into a “self-help” position first, so that Vietnamese guests have more opportunities to experience the cruise service. 5-star price Vietnam dong. The interior of the train is completely wooden. (Photo: CTV / Vietnam +) To serve domestic customers, the kitchen team had to restructure to suit the taste and needs of domestic customers. “Vietnamese people usually like dishes that are processed salty, but Europeans love to feel the authentic taste of the food. For example, Vietnamese people like a deep fried beef to eat with rice, while Europeans want to bite the beef, they must feel the taste of beef boiled all over the mouth first and then the taste of pepper, salt, butter … Because So depending on each customer line, we will reduce the processing to best suit the same menu, ”said Chef Lung. Having experience in serving both Western tourists and our guests traveling on luxury yachts, Lung concluded himself that serving the luxury flow of tourists requires meticulousness in all stages. Because they are interested in every small detail, from the way of decoration, combining the color of the ingredients to the seasoning and taste of the dish … Especially, meticulous not only in the kitchen but also in coordination with the home. restaurant, service staff in arranging the position of each knife, spoon, bowl, plate or slice of butter … Everything must be extremely standard. The menu on the train will usually change every 6 months. Each period is really a “brainstorming” occasion of the kitchen team in how to harmonize nutritional values ​​with each serving of meat, starch, and green vegetables as well as calculate how to combine spices. to accommodate different needs.

According to the chairman of Lux Group, “father” of Emperor Cruises Ha Long, Mr. Pham Ha said both the ship was individually ordered and personalized. Because Mr. Ha defines luxury as the personalization of experience, especially with cuisine, it is also enhanced to the level of art in accordance with each individual needs. With what is on the Emperor, I think this is truly a luxurious retreat worthwhile for those who enjoy enjoying Vietnamese art, culture, history, architecture, music and Vietnamese cuisine in the royal style. . Especially in the context that almost the whole world is blocked off from tourism like today, Vietnamese people travel to Vietnam and experience yachts royal style “luxury, fine, smooth” but “western quality. price “is a choice should consider. /.

In the center of the Victory Square stands a victory monument in the shape of a three-sided spear pierced into the sky. The spear handle is a Great Wall shape. There are three giant steel rings on the upper and lower sides at the junction of the “spear sting” and the “handle”. Below the monument is a large fountain that can change various shapes.

The back area is a huge silver-gray sphere building made of metal materials, which is magnificent.

The exhibition hall uses modern sound, light, electricity and other high-tech means to combine the panoramic large-screen universal movie, background paintings, and miniature battlefield landscapes.
