Explore beautiful Burmese grape tree-lined paths in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta city

Located in the outlying district of Phong Dien, these orchards are home to hundreds of Burmese grape trees which are now in season.

Owners of the Burmese grape orchards set up tree archways, where the cool fresh air, the sun shining through the leaves, and the light yellow of ripening Burmese grapes make them ideal spots for visitors to take photos.

“Burmese grape is not a new fruit but the tree archways add a romantic touch to the ripening Burmese grape orchard,” Tran Thi Thuy Lien, a visitor from the city’s Ninh Kieu District, told Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper

“Can Tho should develop more ecotourism orchards like this.

“We’ll definitely come back here.”

Visitors need to pay an entrance fee of VND50,000-70,000 (US$2.1-2.9) each to explore a Burmese grape orchard, enjoy the ripe fruit at the site and take stunning photos there.

It required local gardeners much effort to take care of their Burmese grape orchards in order to offer good services to visitors.

It normally takes 3-4 years for a Burmese grape orchard to yield fruits.

When the peak travel season ends, the orchard owner will harvest and sell the fruits to traders at VND10,000-20,000 ($0.42-0.85) per kilogram.

Aside from the Ha Chau Burmese grape as a specialty with a total farming area of some 800 hectares in Phong Dien, local orchard owners intercrop Ha Chau with other types of the fruit to serve visitors.

The local agriculture authority advised local farmers to maintain their specialty Burmese grape orchards to offer ecotourism services to improve their incomes.

A trip to Can Tho City in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta region would be more fascinating during these hot summer days with a visit to windy, ripening Burmese grape orchards lining countryside roads.

Located in the outlying district of Phong Dien, these orchards are home to hundreds of Burmese grape trees which are now in season.

Who Is Anton Zeilinger – One Of The Three Nobel Winner Of Quantum Physics?

Image
Photo: Wikipedia Anton Zeilinger is a professor of physics at the University of Vienna and a Senior Scientist at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. His research group has demonstrated a phenomenon called quantum teleportation, which makes it possible to move a quantum state from one particle to one at a distance. For Anders Irbäck, Chair of the Nobel Committee for Physics, “It has become increasingly clear that a new kind of quantum technology is emerging. We can see that the laureates’ work with entangled states is of great importance, even beyond the fundamental questions about the interpretation of quantum mechanics“. Together with Anton Zeilinger, John Clauser and Alain Aspect were also awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2022 “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science“.

Giant calligraphy hat breaks record as largest in Vietnam

Image
The work has been done on the initiative of Dao Thi Cam Suong, a calligrapher from Can Tho. The giant conical hat is made up of a total of 540 smaller conical hats, with calligraphy written on top. Suong has spent 89 days writing the calligraphy and finding connections to produce the finished product. The words written on the giant hat include sightseeing spots in Can Tho, folk songs, proverbs, poems, and the names of various provinces and cities across the country. She shares that the purpose of her work is to honour the beauty of the fatherland through pieces of calligraphy. Indeed, the giant hat is created from 540 small conical hats which themselves represent the country’s 54 ethnic minority groups. The diametre of the giant hat spans for more than eight metres, with the length from the tip to the brim roughly four meters and the length from the tip of the cone to the ground roughly six metres. The work has 14 rows of conical ha...
