The Wuhan coronavirus outbreak has made international headlines at the beginning of 2020, stirring dread that the world might be confronting another SARS-like epidemic.

Originating in Wuhan, China, this outbreak is escalating at a giddy speed. Moreover, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared this new virus as an international public health emergency. There are more than 20,000 reported cases in over 20 countries including Vietnam.

How to stay safe during the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak

If you are planning a trip to Vietnam during the coronavirus outbreak, you may wonder whether it is safe or not. Here is what you need to know to have a safe and good holiday in our beautiful country.

What are waiting for you?

The first image of Wuhan coronavirus

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that cause illness regarding the respiratory system. The name comes from the Latin word "corona," meaning crown, because of the spiky border that surrounds these viruses. They were originally transmitted between animals and people. For example, SARS is reckoned to have developed from bats to cats and then to humans in China. Also, MERS developed from bats to humans in the Middle East. MERS and SARS can cause extreme pneumonia and death in 10-30 percent of cases respectively. On the other hand, some suffer milder symptoms like a common cold.

What are the symptoms?

According to the WHO, most patients start with:
● Fever
● Cough
● Shortness of breath
● Breathing difficulties
And in some dangerous cases, it can lead to pneumonia, kidney failure, SARS, and even death. Meanwhile, the incubation period is still unknown. But some sources say it might be between 10 and 14 days.

How does it spread?

The coronavirus spreads via exposure to droplets from sneezing or coughing. So, when a sick person sneezes or coughs, he/she lets out a spray and if these droplets get into the eye, nose, or mouth of a healthy person, they can pass on the virus. In some cases, a person might catch this virus indirectly through touching droplets on surfaces such as doorknobs, train straps, etc. And if you touch any of these things by accidents and then rub eyes, touch your face or your loved ones, you might all fall sick.

How to stay safe?

These coronaviruses can last for more than 24 hours on objects. So, the most effective way to get rid of them is to wash off with soap. Besides, here are some precautions that you should follow.
● DO NOT touch your face or anyone else's face. In case you have to, please wash your hands with soap thoroughly within 20 seconds.
● Throw away your mask once it feels gross and don't wear it for more than a day. Make sure not to touch the outside of the mask or if you did, remember to wash your hands with soap instantly.
● Do not share FOOD, CUPS, UTENSILS, and TOWELS.
● If possible, open and close doors with your ELBOWS or SHOULDERS instead of hands.
● Last but not least, always wash your hands with soap BEFORE eating and AFTER being out in public.

Always wash your hands with soap

99% of the cases are in mainland China. There are now 10 reported cases in Vietnam. That means if you know how to take care of yourself by following our guide above, you can stay safe while traveling in Vietnam with us.

Also, we offer some private tours to Vietnam for small groups so that you can reduce contact with other people. However, we recommend that if you see someone who is visibly sneezing or coughing or sick, it is best to keep your distance from 2m to 0.5m. Or you can give them a face mask so that they can sneeze or cough into it and protect other people nearby.

In fact, face masks are only helpful if you catch any respiratory symptom. Or if you are in direct contact with people or working in a hospital.

Hence, the best thing you can do to prevent all kinds of illnesses is to wash, wash, and wash your hands. Besides, remember to take care of yourself, cover your cough, and take warning of information about Wuhan coronavirus.

Last but not least, if you catch any case regarding the coronavirus, instantly contact the Ministry of Health through the hotline 1900-9095 or 1900-3228. Or you can arrive at the hospital to check your health.
● In the North - Vietduc University Hospital, St. Paul Hospital, Bach Mai Hospital, etc.
● In the South - National Hospital of Tropical Disease, Children's Hospital 1 or 2, and City Children's Hospital.
● In the Central - Nha Trang Hospital of Tropical Disease, Danang Hospital, Quang Nam Central General Hospital, or Hue Central Hospital.

Vietnam is a country of history and long-standing tradition with a bunch of different art performances. Vietnamese arts play a key role in local life as they express the innermost emotion, encourage and bring Vietnamese people many useful lessons in life.

Hence, it might be a pity that you do not spend time exploring traditional art performances in Vietnam. And, in this article today, we will introduce to you some traditional art shows that you should not miss in your Vietnam family holidays.

What are waiting for you?

Hue's Royal Court Music

The first performance in our list today is the Hue's Royal Court Music, or commonly known as Nhã nhạc cung đình Huế, which is a genre of court music and dance.

Hue's Royal Court Music

This performance is considered as the royal music as it is used to serve only the imperial family inside the palace from the Tran Dynasty in the 13th century to the Nguyen Dynasty in the late of the 20th century.

Nowadays, royal court music is performed in the old capital of Hue for any visitor who would love to learn about this special form of art. When you attend a Nha nhac performance, you will have an opportunity to witness the combination of traditional instruments such as conical oboe, moon-shaped two-string lute, two-stringed vertical fiddle and bamboo flute.

Nha nhac was recognized as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2003. From then, both Vietnam government and people have put a lot of effort into preserving this unique form of art.

Quan Ho Singing

Next on our list today is Quan Ho singing, a traditional art from the North of Vietnam. It is a romantic antiphonal folk performance from Bac Ninh province that was used for men and women to communicate with each other.

Quan họ Singing

Quan Ho Bac Ninh is not only about singing between men and women, but also about the traditional costumes of Vietnam. Women who perform Quan Ho need to wear a four-part dress, a scarf and a large round hat. On the other hand, the men's costume includes ao dai, turbans and an umbrella.

For simple explanation, Quan Ho is a poetic communicating way where participants take turns singing to challenge and response. Generally, a pair of women will start with challenge phrases. Then a couple of men must respond with matching phrase that comes with the same melody as the challenge phrases. This kind of art is performed widely all around the North of Vietnam. Thus, you can experience it without any hassle at theaters and even in rural villages in Bac Ninh.

Ca tru Singing

If you have a passion for Vietnamese traditional art, you might have heard of Ca tru several times before. It is a form of singing poetry from the north of Vietnam.

A group of Ca tru consists of three performers. A woman uses breathing techniques and vibrato to sing the song while strikes a rectangle wooden box. Two musicians will play the three-stringed lute and a praise drum to create the rhythm.

Ca Tru

Like many other Vietnamese traditional forms of art, Ca tru is transmitted by oral. And the special singing technique is taught within the family. Hence, during Vietnam independent wars, Ca tru was disuse and under the threat of fading away. However, the government as well as traditional artists have made a great effort to save and transmit these folk. And in 2009, Ca tru was recognized as Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding by UNESCO.

Vietnam Water Puppetry

Puppetry might not be strange to people all around the world. However, Vietnam water puppetry is a special performance that you have never seen before. This form of art was invented in the 11th century by farmers who entertained themselves when their rice fields would flood. Hence, to celebrate the tradition of wet-rice cultivation, Vietnamese people nowadays still use water as the stage for the puppetry performance.

Water puppetry is an art where puppeteers must stand in a waist-deep water pool and control their wooden puppets with long bamboo rods. The stage designed to resemble the image of a temple will hide the puppeteers. Thus, you can only see the puppets moving and dancing on the water surface. Combining with traditional music and light effects, water puppetry is an exciting art for people of all ages, especially children. Hence, it might be a wise choice for your Vietnam holiday with kids.

Wrapping Up

Vietnam's traditional art plays an indispensable role in the Vietnamese people's life. Hence, exploring traditional art performances might be an exciting and amazing journey for visitors.

The Corona pandemic originating in Wuhan, China is happening very complicatedly. It is a threat to the economic and social situation of not only China but also many countries in the world significantly. Southeast Asia tourism is also impacted.

This article shows how the coronavirus outbreak has affected Southeast Asia tourism. We will provide you with some information about Indochina tour packages and Southeast Asia flights.

What are waiting for you?

Tour packages

Thailand is a favorite destination for Chinese tourists. Each year Thailand has about 11 million Chinese visitors, accounting for more than 30% of international visitors.

During the outbreak of coronavirus (nCoV or covid-19) outbreaks, many countries have imposed restrictions on the entry of visitors from China, but Thailand is one of the few places that do not apply restrictive entry policies for travelers from China.

Thailand is still well-controlled and does not affect much the tourism situation

Vietnam Fast Tours says until now the epidemic situation in Thailand is still well-controlled and does not affect much the tourism situation. Many Travel Companies still provide lots of tour packages such as Bangkok - Pattaya - Kanchanaburi, Phuket - Phi Phi Island, Bangkok - Pattaya - Coral Island, etc.

Many travel companies have stopped organizing tours to China. People have also proactively postponed or changed the trip schedule due to the situation of the unpredictable disease.

In Vietnam, there have been 16 people infected with coronavirus from 4 cities: Vinh Phuc (11), Ho Chi Minh (3), Thanh Hoa (1), Khanh Hoa (1). Until now, there are 13 people are healed.

Due to the corona epidemic, there are attractions in some provinces that are closed and stop picking up guests. In Qui Nhon, at present, some historical - cultural relics, places of interest, tourist areas such as Trung Luong, Quang Trung Museum, Twin Towers ... have been temporarily closed since February 6.

Most of tourist places in Vietnam reopened and welcome the tourists back

In Hanoi, on 6/2, after a day of pausing to welcome people and tourists, cultural sites, landscapes in Hanoi were reopened. Thang Long Imperial Citadel, Ngoc Son Temple and Hoa Lo Prison have also opened to welcome visitors back. At Hoa Lo Prison, besides handing masks, tourists are also provided with free hand-washing water and advice on effective disease prevention measures.

The epidemic situation is still strictly controlled in these provinces. So, there are still many safe destinations for your trip.

Sapa is a famous tourist destination when travelling to Vietnam. Tourists love tour packages to Sapa in the spring to see the flowers blooming. Sapa is the "kingdom of flowers". Flowers here are countless, growing all over the hillsides, flooding the valley, wriggling in bamboo clusters, on the railings, along with the entrances to the villages, etc.

Some Northern locations are also great options for you to enjoy the fresh environment: Moc Chau, Mai Chau, Ninh Binh, etc.

Another tourist destination you can consider for your upcoming trip is Tay Nguyen. The temperature here is quite high, the weather is dry. This is an extremely favorable condition for you to travel this spring.

It can be said that so far, Western provinces have not detected any cases of suspicion of infection with coronavirus. So if you are planning a trip but don't know where to go, then these provinces are also good options. Remember to visit the floating markets and enjoy a lot of delicious kinds of fruits in these provinces: Tien Giang, Ben Tre, Can Tho, Vinh Long, etc.
Domestic tourism is the top priority after the epidemic ends.

Vietnam Tourism Association will develop and implement a strong domestic tourism stimulus program right before and after the epidemic.

Philippines

In the Philippines, 30 hotels announced that Chinese tourists had canceled 600 rooms in Manila. Recently the Philippines government said it would stop granting visas at the border checkpoints for Chinese tourists and recently forced 634 Chinese tourists to return to Wuhan.

Philippines Ministry of Tourism announced it would increase marketing, promoting destinations without coronavirus both domestically and abroad.
With cool fresh air, natural attractions, the Philippines will help visitors have a good time with many interesting and attractive experiences. When the corona epidemic situation is still complicated, instead of participating in crowded festivals, you can go to places close to nature.

The Philippines is not only known as a country that owns more than 7,000 thousand islands, but it is also home to countless natural wonders you can learn and choose the appropriate tour packages. You can go to some places like Coron Island, Boracay Island, etc.

Coron is the third - largest island in the Calamian Islands in northern Palawan, Philippines. This island is part of a city of the same name. you swim as much as you like at Kayangan Lake, the cleanest lake in the Philippines. It's great to explore the amazing ocean world at Palawan and snorkel at Coral Gardens.

The coronavirus outbreak has caused at least 15,000 Chinese to cancel tours to Bali. Bali has to cancel the Kintamani festival scheduled for February 8. The Bali Tourism Authority promises to reorganize this festival at some point during the year when the epidemic settles.

Besides, the Bali tour package is still one of the most favorite options for tourists. You can visit many ancient villages here: Batubalan, Celuk, Mass. You can also go to the Tirta Empul temple built in the 10th century in the center of Bali to explore the local culture.

In addition, Tanjung Benoa beach, a famous beach with many water sports will also help you get more wonderful memories.

Mass flight cancellations

The Aviation Administration of Vietnam has announced the temporary cancellation of operating flights between Vietnam and China from 06h00 international time (13h00 Vietnamese time) on February 1, 2020. Vietnam currently has flights to Taiwan and Hong Kong. The flights to other countries in Southeast Asia still operate normally.

All the flights from China are canceled and suspended due to the virus

Thailand has also suspended flights from Wuhan (China) and some other Chinese cities. There are still flights between Thailand to Taiwan and Hong Kong. Some flights are still going on: Bangkok - Macau, Bangkok - Shanghai, Bangkok - Guangzhou.

The representatives of the Cambodia international airports, including Phnom Penh, Sihanoukville, and Siem Reap has also confirmed to postpone all flights from Wuhan to Cambodia because of few passengers.
In addition to flights involving China, flights between other countries in Southeast Asia still operate normally. Therefore, you do not need to worry when selecting a tourist destination here at this time.

In conclusion

All in all, the corona pandemic is causing serious consequences for tourism in Southeast Asia. In addition to disease prevention measures, national governments need to have appropriate tourism enhancement plans in the coming period.

Imagine yourself lying still on a secluded beach all day for a nice tan with some pineapple cocktail and fresh coconut meat. Imagine yourself giggling over some lame jokes among a pilgrims or family union on Lunar New Year Eve.

Yet, one December day, stemming from Mainland China, a new kind of virus called Corona emerged from the unknown and instantly reached epidemic proportions. All your lovely reveries have shattered down!
But wait a minute!
Being besieged with a plague is not equal to hiding inside a 4-wall box. In fact, why don't you step out of your comfort zone and migrate to some tropics where the virus cannot proliferate?

In this article, we are thrilled to introduce you the top 3 must-visit destinations as a part of our original "I am safe" campaign that keep you Corona-free without breaking the joy of life.

What are waiting for you?

Is there anything else that beats out jade green beach at the sound tropical? We bet you can find zero. Spend a week to go island-hop along Hai Phong - Da Nang- Kien Giang S-line coast. There are three stops for you to discover. And don't worry, there exist untouched hideaways waiting for you to set foot on with some expertise help from our professional holiday-makers.

Day 1-2: Live a day as Robinsons on Griffes du Dragon - Long Chau archipelago

Known as Cat Ba's dragon eye, Long Chau island is home to a few households and 10 guarding soldiers. Only here can you meet eyes with the oldest lighthouse in Vietnam.

Pack your own lunch as at nowhere will you find eateries like touristic sites.

Day 3-5: Dive in Son Tra peninsula's uninhabited coral reef

Before reaching the infinite sand, go for a solemn time at Linh Ung Pagoda. After some self-redemption to find peace for the soul, then may you shuffle from But seashore, Rang seashore, bat cave, bird's nest cave along the coastline.

After some spins around, you can ride a banana boat out the coral reef for some snorkeling or scuba diving. Finish on a happy note with some grilled seafood at night market and call it a day.

Day 6-7: Treat your eyes a feast of divine Phu Quoc seascape

Believe us, this island is so majestic, it's a step to heaven. With a stable 26 - 31°C, an ideal temperature to repel any pathogen, and a full luxury package from local specialty tasting, 4-star hotel stays to chill bars, Phu Quoc is a dreamland for honeymoon.

If you've got some time left, hit the untamed Quy Nhon for a morning. It's pretty deserted in the early February, just like a hidden eden on the earth.

From Vietnam, you can depart to Laos - "The land of a million elephants" via air or by crossing the 7 international borders. And trust us, you won't want to miss these rough diamonds I'm about to unveil.

The exotic Luang Prabang

As a melting spot of French Gothic themed and rustic Indochinese architecture, it's out of the question that Luang Prabang is able to hold its title of being a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Other than a dreamy urban ambience, this city has more to offer with beaten trekking tracks and active water sport games along Mekong River.

The romantic Vientiane

Besides myriad of pagodas and temples, Vientiane is also famous for its superb global culinary offers, ranging from aromatic bakeries, extraordinary street food culture to Michelin starred restaurants.

The lugubrious Khmer Ruins Champassak

It's a beautiful yet sad witness of an era of invasion and endless wars. The Angkor ruins remain its biggest charm and still stand the test of time to these days.

The magnificent Tham Pa Fa

Trail down the beaten track to Savannakhet is a peaceful but sacred Buddha Cave with 229 bronze statues in preservation for centuries.

The uttermost holy part of Laos, Savannakhet

It's pretty fascinating to find a common ground that can hold French urban settlement, ethnic tribal squads and a revered Buddha's Bones temple at one place. What a random but pleasantly surprising combo!

End your comfort trip with Cambodia - The Land of Smiles

From Laos, you can reach Cambodia via air or bus. Pretty convenient, isn't it? Or you can switch the order and enjoy Vietnam and Cambodia private tours first, then concluding with Laos. Cambodia, where modernity meets historicism, can offer you the best of both worlds.

Drop in on the calmest capital in the world - Phnom Penh

Phnom Penh ignites a chill vibe and slow pace of life among some heavily-inspired Khmer architecture settlements. This adds some low notes to the behind-the-scene stories about the breathtaking Tuol Sleng and Choeung Ek museum, which can make you get choked up. By the way, it's also worth paying a visit to the Royal Palace and take some shots of Cambodian daily lives from there.

En route Siem Reap from Phnom Penh, take a fast boat through Tonle Sap lake to catch up with some floating villages.

Disguise as a local for a day in Siem Reap

But before that, spend 3 full days to discover the enchanted Angkor Wat temple complex. Make an attempt to catch the beauty of Angkor Wat at dawn from its east side and tour all of Ta Prohm, Bayon and Banteay Srei instead of just walking through the entrance.

After some close inspection of the patterns on the complex's walls, it's time for you to see it from the bird-eye view. Don't hesitate to pay for a helicopter experience to be able to grasp the whole picture of this grandiose structure. It's a once in a lifetime chance!

End your journey by following a monk from a monastery for a day to learn meditation and blend in with the locals. You may get so immersed in their sincerity and friendliness that you won't ever find your way back home.

Bottom Line

You may have realized, all these three countries enjoy the same tropical climate, an unfavorable environment for Covid-19 to develop. If you are a beach lover, then go ahead on Vietnam beach vacation packages.

If you are a Buddhism advocate, then Laos is definitely your second home. If you are soon-to-be historian, then hurry up and pack your bags to Cambodia. The choices are diverse: not one, not two but three. It can be a Vietnam Cambodia tour package only or the whole Vietnam Cambodia Laos itinerary. Just a click and bada bing bada boom, an instant escape on budget from the heated epidemic regions is right at the back of your hands.

You've got a 14-day honeymoon. The mythological Greece with black cliffs, white sand and cobalt sea seems too ideal to unwind. The colorful Colombia with hot Rumba dances and tangy taccos seems too steamy to handle. Then find the midground - where there is sun but also sea, vibrant but also tranquil, breezy but also scorching - Indochina islands. And there you find your dreamland!

Keep scrolling down to unveil a bucket list of 6 must-do things for an out-of-this-world lovey-dovey Vietnam and Cambodia private tour!

What are waiting for you?

Travel back in time inside Ha Noi's Old Quarters

Start your day fresh with a spur round Hoan Kiem Lake. After a light but steamy shower together, it's time for a hot breakfast to revive your energy. Spend a buck or two at Mrs Thu Sticky Rice (Xoi Ba Thu), Tho Nhuom Street and listen to the sound of locals quarrelling in the market or motorbikes roaming under the last fragile sun rays.

Awake your inner peace!

Finish your morning with a cup of coconut white coffee at Cong Café overlooking St. Joseph's Cathedral.

When the clock strikes 13:00p.m, stop by any attire shop and hire a pair of ao dai. Maybe you two could arrange another Gothic-inspired wedding photoshoot in front of the 100-year-old French built railroad

Scuba-diving in Son Tra's coral reef and visit "Little Paris" Ba Na Hills

You want sea? You want mountain? Yes, Da Nang can offer you the best of both worlds. Wait until a giant blue pearl comes into your sight will you know what's almost paradise. Off shore Son Tra Peninsula is a kaleidoscopic coral reef and diversified marine ecosystem. The water is so crystal-clear that a whole sapphire sky is captured at the back of it.

After going for a win on a speedboat, you get dropped down under the shallow water level. Here children could go snorkeling while adults may spring their adrenalin up with some deep dive.

Don't forget to dine on some butter grilled seafood and end your day with a pineapple cocktail. If day 1 is dedicated to sail hoisting, then day 2 must be saved for some mountaineering.

Ba Na Hills stand through the test of time as a proof of human superpower. The concept of a village on cloud nine is so mesmerizing that you're at loss for words.

You can tour around the majestic French-themed mansions in the heart of pristine forests and lofty infinite sky while admiring the grandeur of Lao mountain range. Lurking at 1,414m above the sea is another man-made architectural masterpiece, the Golden Bridge. Stamp this moment of walking to heaven into your life album and make your honeymoon delightedly everlasting.

Take a romantic cyclo tour in Vietnam's "Little Venice" Hoi An

Imagine you're walking on sunshine under brick-red tiled roofs and golden lanterns. Pick the 20,000 VND note and soon will you realize Cau Pagoda - which connects the ancient silk road - is exactly portrayed on it.

The cyclo tour is to give you a panorama view of all Hoi An's places of interest: a 400-year-old Japanese Bridge, a 300-year-old Chinese Temple, a 200-year-old Vietnamese merchant's house or a local fish market. It also gives you a taste of local produce and set you up under the candle lights on a sunset cruise down the stream from Cua Dai estuary.

Explore the idyllic pace of life and mangrove forest along Mekong Delta River

Mekong River or "Cuu Long River" (9 Dragons) is like the Milky Way that connects the weave girl Ho Chi Minh city and the cowherd Phnom Penh.
Set your journey off the National Highway from Saigon and enjoy evergreen paddle fields. When you hit My Tho, lead a calm boat cruise to take a peek at the rural locals' stilt cottages, fruit plantations and fishing villages. Then have lunch with some smoked fish and herbs amidst an orchard garden.

Take a brief break, then proceed to Can Tho via Ben Tre on a hand-rowed sampan for a taste of coconut specialties and semplice folk music. End your day on a happy note with an arcadian home-stay experience in Cai Rang. When dawn comes at 5:30a.m, tour around Cai Rang or Phong Dien floating markets for some wholesale fruits and steamy savory noodles (best suited for private guided tours), step on a "monkey bridge" - the signature of Mekong Delta inhabitants.

Before arriving at Sisowath dock in Phnom Penh from Chau Doc, join in a wild bird sighting trip in Tra Su deep down glistering canals wrapped in soaring ferns.

Cover the whole Phnom Penh on a Tuk Tuk: Challenge accepted

Trekking may be the best means of transportation if you're a solo expat. But if you're a newlywed couple, Tuk Tuk is the perfect tea for two. Chase away the summer heat while scanning for Cambodia's unique architectural structures: the relic-filled Wat Ounalom' stupas, the sumptuous Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda, the epic but tragic Toul Sleng genocide museum or the French art deco Phsar Thmei.

How can you miss any of these?

You thought it was over with a heart wrenching but sacred architecture and history? No, Phnom Penh has yet pulled out its final Ace card: culinary. Take a bite into a Num Pang bread full of rich sauce or a crispy dish of Bai sach chrouk. It's the last supper you want in your life, just like Leonardo da Vinci's L'Ultima Cena.

Lost inside the holy Siem Reap

The beauty of Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom is so jaw-dropping that you wish there were clone magic! Following Bayon architectural style, Angkor Thom's essences all lie in the concept of Naga and human faced towers. They represent the King, Quan Yin goddess, Avalokitesvara or Guards of Kingdom.

Rumor has it that the current Angkor Thom city is just relics of King Phimeanakas' archaic palace. Imagine catching the sunrise glistening on the lotus ponds inside a hibernating empire.

What a glorious vista!

Now it's time for a grand finale and make your honeymoon a gift of God, so take a helicopter ride above Angkor Wat temples and spread your love in the air! Cherish the marvelous size of this act of God from the bird-eye view from stunning Bakheng Mountain to vivid Eastern Mebon.

To save the best for last, get dropped on the floating village off shore Tonle Sap Lake.

Bottom Line

Now you know how to take your holiday to the next level?

Step 1: Know your urban taste.

Step 2: Know your ocean taste.

Step 3: Know your nature taste.

Step 4: Know your rural taste.

Step 5: Know your art taste.

What are waiting for you?

It's such a wonder that Laos still remains free of Covid-19. There were 53 suspected cases in Vientiane, but they were declared negative after four rounds of testing, said Deputy Minister of Health Phouthone Muongpak. The secrets behind this incredible accomplishment lie in the fact that Laos government has imposed a strict surveillance system covering all provinces nationwide, a uniform 14-day quarantine standards for all international institution staff and an inclusive scanning system at ports and airports.

In the same efforts, the government also stood their ground with a firm resolution of border seal regarding the Golden Triangle Special Economic Zone in Bokeo province adjacent to China and discontinued issuance of tourist visas to the Chinese.

Trail On A Woeful But Majestic Cultural Plain of Jars Sites

A Colossal Background Of History

Shrouded in the heart of Phonsavan's verdant luxuriant pine forests and lush hills are exotic megalith stone hewn cylinders which potentially date as far back as the Iron Age (around 500 BC to 800 AD).

Residing together like a powerful gang, these enigmatic 2000-year-old jars exude a sombre and eerie aura just like a spitting image of the graphic-like Stonehenge or the voodoo paradise Easter Island.

It still remains a puzzle who were their original creators, whether it's the nomadic Indian tribes or the giant King Khun Cheung. Legend has it that he made these jars from water-buffalo skin to ferment lao-lao (Lao's whisky) and commemorated battle triumphs.

Since the 1930s, archaeologists and scientists have successfully excavated 60 sites of vessels scattering across rice paddies, forests and hillocks. Underneath these trenches hibernate tons of unexploded ordnance (UXO) and mines following the American Air Force' 4-ton of bomb casting into Xieng Khuang during the course of 1964 to 1973.

Does this fact turn you into a scaredy cat or did it bring the inner hero out of you? Do not take a backstep, as every bomb-free path has been marked carefully and clearly by UNESCO mine detonators, it's so safe to the point that you can self-organize a private trip without tour guides.

But what do these jars have to offer besides its tragic history about the US' secret war against Pathet Lao and Vietnamese communists? Curious about what'd happen if you peer into their rim?

Will you find gold beads, skeleton or ceramic relics, since the majority of scientists have inclined towards the hypothesis that this field was a burial site? Or will you be welcome with some plain cobweb and water puddles, following another theory that this was the monsoon water trade point?

Whatever you may witness, do not jump to any conclusion until you are introduced to heart-wrenching but touching documentary footage of the 9-year secret war and the bomb detonating process in the middle of the British Mines Advisory Group's HQ.

Most frequently visited sites

It's critical for you to keep in mind that every site of the plain was heavily bombarded by American Air Force, among which only seven ones have been cleared.

The list includes Site 1, 2, 3 and 16 near Phonsavan, Site 23 next to Muang Kham's hot spring, Site 25 in Phou Kout District and the giant Site 52 near Hmong tribes.

Site 1: Thong Hai Hin - The most well-known "Stone Jar Plain"

15 kilometres south west of Xieng Khouang's provincial capital and right beside Laos' military base camp is the legendary 300-jar Site 1. Hitting it and there you go, open the pandora box to an untouched mysterious East of Eden.

It's not the largest, but it's the most unique since the ground beneath Site 1 is more stunted than the others, not to mention it is still the crown-holder of the sole relief engraved jar revealed to date.

Site 2: Hai Hin Phu Salato

It's a greener miniature of Thong Hai Hin, which lies 17.3 kilometres from Xieng Khuang Bus Station. Awaiting you behind a rather rustic stile are cinematic stone steps that divide the jars into two clusters.

Overall, you'll feel like being on a treasure hunt, since the jars are shy away under succulent tree canopies at one side but also open to the public's eyes at the other. What remains today are, like on other sites, bombed artefacts such as broken frog-carved discs and grave markers.

Site 3: Hai Hin Lat Khai

Located on the exit of Ban Naphia, Site 3 is an irresistible challenge for hard-core thriller fans. Throughout a-few-hundred-metre walk from the parking lot to the jars, you'll experience top-tier alertness with unexploded bombies scattering under the rice paddies' mud and besides the road lane.

Yet, they have been scanned by the UNESCO detonators, it's just that you'd have been a little bit taken aback by the peaceful co-existence of villagers and these hibernating mini monsters.

Around 150 jars here seem to be more intact than those at the previous two, and they only gather on the hilltop, so it may be clear that they were lichen-covered urns.

Site 52: Ban Phakeo

This site is the definition of the beaten trekking route. The track is covered in natural clay and oversees a bamboo bridge. It's a bit on the far end of the provincial capital, 27 kilometres away plus 16 kilometres into the mountain.

This is the largest site to date with 392 jars separated into at least three clusters. From here, you can trail to Hmong village and enjoy a day disguising as a local ethnic minority.

How to get there

To reach Phonsavan:
Via air: Take a Vientiane - Xieng Khouang Airport flight by Lao Airlines.
Via bus: Take a Vang Vieng (0900 - 1050; 1330; 1540)/ Luang Prabang (0830; 0900)/ Vientiane (2000) - Phonsavan daily route.

To reach the Plain of Jars: Rent a motorbike, minivan, tuk-tuk or walk on foot.

Off the beaten tracks to Xieng Khouang's ethnic villages

Hiding behind those vast rice paddies and lush mountains are the lovely houses on stilts of four Laotian ethnic groups: Tai Dam, Tai Phuan, Hmong and Khmu.

Muang Khoun - Once The Kingdom of the Tai Phuan

Seated 35 kilometres southeast Phonsavan, Muang Khoun carries a separated history and architectural achievements along. Welcome to That Dam, which was severely scarred by bloody battles against Thai and Vietnamese invaders, as well as the Second Indochina War.

Wat Phia Wat is also a heaven to the Buddhism devout to contemplate a glorious Buddha fenced four-sized by ruined brick columns and 62 pure golden opulent stupas.

The Tai Phuan are the original wanderers, from southern China to Xieng Khouang plateau during the 13th century. Their own realm, Muang Khoun, was formed in protection of their land, forests and rivers. They are skillful farmers, fishermen as well as non-timber product manufacturers.

The Khmu share the same settlement at Site 1 with the Phuan, but with an even more diverse collection of handicrafts: hunting, rattan and bamboo basket/fishnet weaving and lao hai (jar alcohol) fermenting. Animism Buddhism is their religion and they presume objects aren't soulless.

Tai Dam Cultural Hall

Originated from northwestern Vietnam, the Tai Dam travelled to Xieng Khouang in the end of 19th century and brought along their signature handicraft, silk weaving. They possess extraordinary customs and spiritual rituals. They share the same beliefs with the Khmu in terms of religions.

Approximately 48 kilometres north of Phonsavan stands a two-storey Cultural Village in Ban Xieng Khieo. You will find yourself immersed in a myriad of hand-made goods from rattan baskets to harvesting tools.

And, of course, you cannot miss out putting on traditional clothes if you're an Instagram geek.

Ban Phakeo Odyssey

It houses the Hmong, the biggest group of people inhabiting Xieng Khouang. They inherit their Chinese ancestors' talents at hunting, mixing Oriental medicine, animal rearing and horse riding. With a motley aesthetics, they create fancy batik patterned outfits with silver accessories.

Prepare a 2-day trek along Site 52 and hike a jar-packed mountainous route to get lost in a tranquil nature-dependent lifestyle and discover architectural relics.

Caveat: Do not miss the Hmong Sunday Market in Ban Tajok from 4:00a.m to 7:00a.m for fresh local produces.

Traditional Cuisine

Phonsavan has a wide collection of Laotian, Chinese and Vietnamese eateries. They are great for a laid-back experience with a lot of fusion dishes. Some outstanding names may include Lao-Falang Restaurant, Nisha Restaurant, Bamboozle Restaurant & Bar or Cranky-T Café & Bar.

But if you want an organic tasting session, the Phoukham Garden Market will do the tricks. Treat yourself to a hearty meal starting lightly with Xieng Khouang's main crops - banana fritters, steamed corn or herbs to main courses like sticky rice with chili dip or Laotian feu (soup).

How To Shop Like A Local

From silk sinh (an embroidered traditional skirt) to self-composed bomb metallic jewellery, it's undeniable that Xieng Khouang has become a mecca for tourists to select souvenirs. Buying straight from local artisans is also a way to improve their economic status, which is a practically good deed.

To differentiate local handicrafts with Chinese imported goods, you can pre-check the wanted product at The Traditional Arts and Ethnology Centre in Luang Prabang or the Living Crafts Centre in Mekong. Or you can simply go to home studios of the local artisans.

Prioritize natural indigo dyed clothing and textiles (an intense combo of blue and green) but try to avoid any UXO/animal-derived products and accessories. You would not want lead and harmful chemicals from unexploded bombs to enter your body.

Haggling is a must when it comes to ASEAN country tour packages such as Vietnam Cambodia Laos itinerary, so please remember that starting off at half the designated prices on tags is the most appropriate.

Bottom Line

In the age of Covid-19 outbreaks, most people would choose to travel to Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand if they've got itchy feet during a long work break or if they can't reverse their long-bought tickets. However, Laos, despite lower tourist inflows, is THE only South East Asian Coronavirus-free country.

Among all Laotian tourist attractions, the Plain of Jars not only satisfies low traffic of visitors, but also remains service-packed. Come here and see for yourself a golden combination of the most tragic historical stories blended inside an untouched archaeological puzzle.

But, the highlight is, an one-of-a-kind experience to share your meals and your life with innocent but skillful Laotian ethnic tribes, all at an incredible reasonable price.

Explore An Ethnic Tribes' Cultural Rich Tay Nguyen

Gong Culture

When first introduced, gong was considered a means of communication between villagers and their gods. Gong is also the initial sound of a newborn's ear blowing ceremony, as well as a wedding, a housewarming party, a farming ritual, a hunting session. And gong is the final farewell to the deceased before burial.

Tay Nguyen's Epics

Epics are what Tay Nguyen's history, culture, poetry, myths, customs and religious beliefs join forces to compound. Since the debut of the Ede's khan Dam San in 1927, over 20 other epics have been revealed. Up until nowadays, epics are still recited in Tay Nguyen tribes' communal performances.

Traditional festivals

These festivals indicate Tay Nguyen's ethnic groups' primitive outlooks of life, customs, human race and spiritual world. Striking examples include Ede's water resource ceremony, the Jrai and Bahnar's new rice festival or housewarming rituals.

They're representative of Tay Nguyen's crop culture and only here can you see gaudy outfits and jewelry, colorful bamboo woven baskets in harmony with steamy straw liquor.

Stemming in Wuhan, China since last December, the coronavirus disease has dropped the human race a bomb we have yet to fully tackle.

Initially contagious from a virus in bats and civets, the novel derivative of coronavirus named COVID-19 then hopped into the human body after a person feasting on bats. Then the disease spreads even more horribly when someone has a close contact with invisible droplets from a cough or even communicating person.

Slow responsive measures from the outbreak have made France a deadly battlefield

The lung, spleen or intestine environment would facilitate the viruses' shameless replication. It's also causing a fuss for our inner immune system. In most cases, our reliable immune system can get up again and take control, while others with weak immune systems cannot. That's when respiratory failure sets in. This could have a grave effect on you and anyone else. Coronavirus is no joke.

In fact, the coronavirus has brought every single aspect of our lives to a halt. We cannot say for sure how long this will last and to what extent the world will actually suffer. But that's for later.

What you should do now is educate yourself with credential information on this matter. Maybe you've been planning a trip to Vietnam for so long. But now you're wondering whether it's okay or not to depart, right? Keep reading to find out the answer.

What are waiting for you?

How To Protect Yourself Against The Virus: Better Safe Than Sorry

As of now, there is no vaccine to prevent coronavirus disease yet. Therefore, equipping yourself with sufficient protection is the most viable option. Follow these instructions from the WHO to prevent the risk of the coronavirus disease for you and your family.

Know when and how to use a mask properly.

When to use a mask: during social exposure and close contact with people who cough or sneeze

How to use a mask: a mask should cover enough the area of your nose and mouth. Plus, there should be no space between your face and the mask. Replace the mask when it's moist and dispose of one-time masks after using it.

Wash your hands properly: a proper wash should last 20 seconds along with hand sanitizer or soap. Make sure every area on your hands is well-touched.

Maintain social distancing: stay at least two meters clear between yourself and who is coughing or sneezing. Even when you are on Vietnam customized tours, which are quite safe, do not forget to do this. Prevention is better than cure.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth: these are the first path that the coronavirus enters your body. Make sure to keep your hands further away from them!

Seek help immediately if you think you have close contact with a potential corona patient, or if you have any symptoms of the disease. These symptoms include: fever, tiredness, dry cough, sore throat (some might even have diarrhea, runny nose and nausea). Call these hotlines in an emergency: 1900 9095 or 1900 3228

But most importantly, keep yourself sane on social media and other communication channels, that'll do you good these days.

Tips To Have A Safe Travel

Traveling during this time is ill-advisory

During the coronavirus outbreak, it is advisable to strictly follow the rules of quarantine. In other words, stay home as long as possible. However, if you really need to travel somewhere but for some reasons you can't settle AT ALL, no need to freak out. Vietnam had made every responsive measure since the very outbreak of the virus.

Up to this point, Vietnam has reported 268 cases with no death. This is a good sign compared to other countries. Here is what you ought to do to have a safe journey:

Keep a clear distance of 2 meters from other people:
This is the distance that keeps you from any contact with droplets from others' coughs or sneezes.

Always wear a mask onboard and offboard
You may surround yourself with others from various countries, even countries mired in the battle against this perilous coronavirus. You cannot know from your eyesight. So please wear a mask.

Bring your hand sanitizer along with you.

Book private tours to Vietnam.
This will be your smartest decision after all (I'm just kidding). I mean, a private tour service can guarantee you a well-tailored Vietnam tour itinerary, a safe place to stay in, and most importantly, to taste Vietnam differently from usual times. Our service promises to bring you only the best.

Wrapping Up

After this perilous global epidemic, why not treat yourself to a good getaway with Vietnam tour holidays? Because we can't see why not.

But remember to be prudent and cautious amid and even after the disease. Take good notes of this article before departing.
