Photo: Thuy Edna   “The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ha Long Bay, with more than 2,000 limestone islands, is Asia’s tourism mecca, and deservedly so,” is how Neil Armstrong, editor of the prestigious travel magazine, described the Southeast Asian country’s “Natural Wonder of the World”. According to him, the best way to avoid the bustle of the tourist attraction is to dodge the day trips and do a two-night cruise. “This will allow you to take in clusters of islands too far for day-trippers or overnighters to get to, and allow you to surrender to the rhythms of the sea and the sun,” he suggested.  “Once afloat you can watch both sunrise a...

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.
