Hanoi is the Ideal Destination for a Romantic Honeymoon

Travel+Leisure magazine recently named Vietnam one of the 12 most amazing yet affordable honeymoon destinations in the world.

Accordingly, Hanoi is the place to be for a honeymoon that combines culinary and cultural exploration while experiencing the vibrant rhythm of the city. Travel+Leisure recommends the Sofitel Legend Metropole, a luxurious hotel in the heart of the capital surrounded by greenery.

Meanwhile, IHG Hotels & Resorts can provide a chic venue for a marriage proposal, pre-wedding photo shoot, and wedding reception.

“Standing proud as the only over-water luxury hotel in Vietnam’s capital, InterContinental Hanoi Westlake is a stalwart in the wedding scene, having hosted many of the country’s most spectacular celebrations,” Travel+Leisure said.

As Vietnam’s traditional wedding season will fall in autumn and spring, from October to March, the travel website suggested that international tourists can make a fancy saying “I do” during an intimate ceremony on the shores of idyllic Phu Quoc or perhaps a grand city wedding in a stylish ballroom in Saigon.

Traditionally, Vietnamese weddings have taken place in the couple’s hometown, but the trend has shifted in recent years. Today, destination weddings have come to the forefront, with idyllic islands such as Phu Quoc and coastal resorts such as Da Nang quickly becoming popular locations.

Many wealthy Indian couples have recently come to Phu Quoc to get married. The stunning sunsets on Pearl Island provide perfect photo opportunities, and the seaside lawn is popular for romantic beach weddings.

David Pearson, IHG’s Area Director for Sales and Marketing for Northern Vietnam, notes: “This has resulted in smaller, more intimate gatherings of groups of family and friends, and ultimately requires the hotel to offer a much more holistic experience.”

It may also come as no surprise that in the modern-age of social media, couples seek venues that serve an enviably snappable backdrop.

“Couples are increasingly placing further emphasis on selecting venues that offer iconic backdrops with a uniquely ‘Instagrammable’ setting, ensuring that their special moments and the guests’ memories are captured for their social platforms,” Pearson said.

For couples in a relationship, the magazine suggested visiting the Valley of Love in Da Lat or the scenic views of Mt. Fansipan in Sapa for those who enjoy hiking.

Travel+Leisure also cited that couples in the US spend an average of about $5,000 on their honeymoon.

Other ideal destinations for couples include Belize, Key Largo (Florida, USA), Napa and Sonoma (California, USA), Bermuda, Jamaica, Mexico, Honolulu (Hawaii, USA), Costa Rica, Portugal, Niagara-on-the-Lake (Ontario, Canada).

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“.

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...
