Le Figaro pointed out that Vietnam can be considered a winter destination for French tourists. However, spring is also a suitable time as tourists are able to avoid the crowds and troubles that come with traveling during the peak season.

Le Figaro also described Vietnam as a worthy destination to experience nature and indigenous cultures.

The author suggested that guests take a 16-day trip to explore the country from North to South to savor scenic views of green rice fields and gain greater insights into the tradition of knitting or dyeing indigo of the Dao and Mong ethnic communities in Sa Pa, a famous tourist destination in northern Vietnam.

The author also suggested that tourists spend time visiting Tam Coc in the northern province of Ninh Binh, a site that boasts sparkling rice paddies and spectacular rocky mountains and has been dubbed “Ha Long Bay on land”.

Tourists can also call at the laboratory of a fragrance chemist or immerse themselves into local life on a farm run by farmers.

During the journey to the ancient capital of Hue, a local chef can take visitors directly to the market and select ingredients for a cooking class.

Furthermore, the enchanting beaches in Quy Nhon or Tuy Hoa in the central region will be the next stop before ending the journey by discovering the bustling Ho Chi Minh City.

Aside from Vietnam, the author also introduced other destinations that tourists can explore this year, including Malaysia, India, the Republic of Korea, Namibia, Ethiopia, South Africa, Costa Rica, the United States, and Iceland.

Meanwhile, The Travel, a well-known travel site in Canada, has ranked Vietnam in fifth place on a list of the top 10 most attractive destinations in Asia, reported VNA.

According to the magazine, Vietnam is one of the most peaceful countries in the world. It said that Vietnam has been developing with youthful and dynamic vitality, and there are numerous majestic and beautiful natural wonders across the S-shaped country.

The magazine mentioned limestone islands with unique shapes in Ha Long Bay, Phong Nha Cave in Phong Nha – Ke Bang National Park, and charming rivers in the Mekong Delta region, saying that these are just a few of the many tourist attractions in the Southeast Asian nation.

Vast rice fields and typical floating markets help increase the attractiveness of this top regional tourist destination, it said.

Not only possessing natural beauty, Vietnam also attracts tourists by architectural works with century-old historical and cultural imprints, it added.

Vietnam welcomed more than 2.69 million foreign arrivals in the first quarter of 2023, 29.7 times higher than that of the same period last year, the General Statistics Office (GSO) has reported.

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“.
