Mekong Delta to Become a Friendly Destination Mekong Delta to Become a Friendly Destination
“Mekong Delta can be seen as one of the most attractive tourist destinations in Asia with beautiful natural landscapes, but it may soon lose this advantage due to rapid infrastructure development. And it take years to reinstate those precious values,” said Prof. Ernst Sagemueller, general director of the Europe-Indochina Institute for Tourism, at a recent conference entitled “Potential and Development Opportunity in Mekong Delta” in the city of Can Tho.

Buffalo bonesBuffalo bones
In parts of Ha Tay and Ha Nam provinces it is said people have been making combs from buffalo horns for centuries. Judging by their two main maxims, traditionally buffalo-horn craftsmen were pretty unforthcoming to outsiders who were curious about the craft.

Telpher system bringing visitors to Ba Na mountain to be built
 
20 November 2007


A telpher (cable car) system, 4.8 km in length, with a capacity of 1,000-1,500 visitors per hour, carrying them to the top of the Ba Na Mountain is to be put into operation in 2008.

The investor, Ba Na Telpher Joint Stock Company of Da Nang, will also kick off construction of a multi-functional entertainment and tourism complex consisting of resort, villas and other facilities at the foot of the mountain.

The ecological tourism resort is expected to be completed by 2009.

More than US$200 million will be needed to complete the whole project which is expected to turn Ba Na into a national tourism center, said investors.

Another telpher system built five years ago with the length of 760 meters is currently carrying visitors from the Vong Nguyet Hill (1,320 meters high) to the Ba Na Mountain’s top.
