According to Time Out, Southeast Asia has long been a paradise for travelers, offering a spectrum of luxe experiences to backpacker adventures. A number of cities remain as tourist magnets, including Bali, Hanoi, and Bangkok, to name a few. But with eleven countries in all of Southeast Asia, there’s so much more that the region has to offer.

Time Out mentioned Hanoi, Hoi An, Ho Chi Minh, and Sapa as some names that get bandied about when discussing destinations in Vietnam. But tourists should not overlook Ninh Binh, Vietnam’s first capital and UNESCO World Heritage Site today. Defined by towering limestone karsts, tranquil rivers, and mystical historical and religious sites, Ninh Binh is the perfect destination for nature lovers and adventure travelers keen to see another side of Vietnam, off the beaten path.

The website recommended that tourists soak in panoramic views of Ninh Binh, known as Halong Bay on Land, at Mua Cave. When completing a good workout climbing up 500 steps, travelers can then head to two viewpoints – the dragon and the pagoda – for some fantastic shots. It is also suggested to visit the famous Bich Dong Pagoda, which has a gorgeous moss-covered gate and a bridge over a glassy pond of lotuses. Other than that, exploring the wetlands at Van Long Nature Reserve or trying the karsts from the water on a Trang An paddleboat tour can also bring lots of joyful and unforgettable experiences for travelers.

Besides Ninh Binh, Time Out also mentioned 4 other destinations in Southeast Asia countries.

They include the Lombok, an Indonesian island with beautiful sand beaches, lush forests, and magical waterfalls; Luang Prabang, the Lao mountainous region that offers a tantalizing mix of sleepy historic towns, century-old monasteries, ancient temple cave systems, and an abundance of natural hiking trails and water activities; Rayong of Thailand with pristine waters, inviting beaches, mangrove parks, old towns, and shrines, and stellar seafood; and Seberang Perai (Malaysia) which has an abundance of forest walks, quiet beaches, cultural attractions, and decent shopping.

Buzz, Bump, Goal! Drone Football Takes Center Stage at CES

Five red drones are competing against five blue drones in a thrilling drone soccer match. Controlling the drones from outside the playing field ensures safety for all. The game lasts for three action-packed minutes, with the drones protected by globe-like shields, zooming around, colliding with each other, and bouncing off the green field. Their mission: to score goals by maneuvering a drone through the opposing team’s “donut,” a hoop suspended 3.5 meters in the air that lights up when a goal is achieved. Sean Greenhalgh, a professional drone soccer player and former Trader Joe’s employee, reveals that he discovered this emerging sport during a drone photography course about a year ago. Now, he serves as the captain and main striker for Team USA, alongside teaching children aged four and older the sport. While it may be a niche profession, Greenhalgh appears to be doing well and enjoying his role. Jasmine Lee, the match commentator, explains that an engineer, who happened to be a mas...

Vietnam reach ASEAN football final after beating Indonesia

in the 2022 AFF Championship final after claiming a 2-0 win over Indonesia in their semifinal second leg in Hanoi on Monday evening. This is the fourth time that Vietnam have qualified for the AFF Championship final. Thanks to Nguyen Tien Linh’s double, Vietnam defeated Indonesia 2-0 after two legs as both teams had drawn 0-0 in Central Jakarta last Friday. The Vietnamese striker put his team ahead quite early with a volley in the third minute before earning his second to double the lead with a header in the 48th minute. Indonesia’s most noticeable remarks were their faults against the hosts that resulted in two yellow cards. The players of Shin Tae Young, who had taken to Instagram to personally criticize three rough tackles by Vietnam’s left-back Doan Van Hau on Sunday, tried to hit back but their finishes either lacked accuracy or failed to beat Vietnamese goalkeeper Dang Van Lam. Vietnam wrapped up a 2-0 victory on aggregate to set up the finale against the winners...
