Cruises in Halong bay increased fares

The charge to visit Cruises in Halong bay since 1/12/2011, officially increased to at least double the old fee. This has created no less urgent for the travel and leisure visitors. The question, affordable Bay "to life" is one of the seven new wonders of the world should have to increase ticket to deserve? And the quality of tourist services have been doubled as ticket prices or not?



According to the Decision of Quang Ninh 3620/2011/QD-UBND shall start on 1 / 12, Quang Ninh will formally charge an entrance fee for Ha Long Bay with all the visitors. Accordingly, the charges on some routes to visit Halong Bay is different from previously collected in each location, this collection will make adjustments according to the schedule as follows: Thien Cung - Dau Go - soul for rock, village Ba Hang fishing, Dinh Huong Island, Halong, Suppliers fishing village fare is 80,000 VND / person; Hang Sung Sot, Ti Top (or Soi Sim), Halong Bay, Ho Tien is the fare is 90,000 VND / people; Hang Sung Sot - Ti Top or Soi Sim - Halong Bay - Ho Dong Tien - The night fare 130,000 VND / person; Cultural Center Cua Van Fishing Village - Mr. Hang Tien - Ho Ba Ham - The Night Ticket price is 60,000 VND / person ...

Also in Ha Long Bay, 3620 Decision was signed on 11.18.2011, only 48 hours after the Department of Finance's proposal on 16/11 and have effect on 1 / 12. Do not know the price increases through the provincial People's Council at all times, before or after proposing the Department of Finance?
Will, from now to New Year, the local landscape up there other "school" under the "high speed" or not? One the other is dizzying, Decision 3620 was accompanied by the appendix table "matrix" of the ticket price. Appendix 8 of 8 tickets online visit. In each line from 1 to 10 separate price. Tickets are divided into three categories: adults, children and the elderly. Each type has 36 reviews, combined cost of 108, corresponding to 108 different types of tickets. Meanwhile, look to Cambodia, Angkor tickets for the population over 15 years did not increase.



The applicant grieved Bay
Before the event, representing the opinion of the Management Board of Halong Bay Vietnam university policy that would increase fares landscape had before the coronation Bay wonders for quite some time, the increase in ticket prices is a subject proper guidelines and provinces have been agreed, looking forward to the support and consensus from the business, tourists. Most important is the promise: "In the future we will strive to promote environmental protection and landscape of Ha Long Bay ... for tourists, business units that benefit from landscape really pleased ...".
However, many visitors to doubt this promise because they felt sad with what the eyes see, ears to hear in this period.
Nguyen Cong Hoang Anh - a visitor pressing "We went to visit Ha Long Bay. When a boat tour on the bay, the boat can only accommodate about 30 people, but there are more than 40 guests up, killing many people in the group concerned about the capacity, safety concerns about life after floating on the sea. " If you do a comparison, the services of the Management Board of the bay, even less than private enterprises. The price cut guillotine, boat hawkers on the sea clutter, which is always what you need to clean to be a tourist more polite and civilized, in consideration of his Emperor.
But Ms. Le Thu Tra (overseas Vietnamese Russia) said: "We have to hurry to see the Heavenly Palace and then to go out because the train only 40-minute appointment for the visit. To wait at the pier where the sun has just cramped nearly an hour after the last boat to pick up squeezed into. By the beach Titop rush for only 40 minutes shower. "
Tea haste that she is having a lot of dissatisfaction of tourists to Ha Long. As if the tour boat hire, train will run very fast for all the places to visit more ports of departure were even tourists will enjoy anything or not. If hired by the hour, the train will run as test with ... crawl on land to full time basis. The new story, when visitors to the station and request proper payment of rent is now only 10 minutes the ship had landed the previous owner even told to go non voice again (?!).
The Vietnam in general and individuals in particular who wrote this article, because love Bay should have voted efforts to help Gulf crowned wonders. But just so we hope that the tourism industry in general Quang Ninh, Ha Long in particular parallel to the increase in fares, should seriously look at ways to serve and promptly upgraded "brand" quality tourism to match with natural heritage is recognized as the world wonders.

What is Tai Chi ?.


The Chinese characters for Tai Chi Chuan can be translated as the 'Supreme Ultimate Force'. The notion of 'supreme ultimate' is often associated with the Chinese concept of yin-yang, the notion that one can see a dynamic duality (male/female, active/passive, dark/light, forceful/yielding, etc.) in all things. 'Force' (or, more literally, 'fist') can be thought of here as the means or way of achieving this ying-yang, or 'supreme-ultimate' discipline.
Tai Chi, as it is practiced in the west today, can perhaps best be thought of as a moving form of yoga and meditation combined. There are a number of so- called forms (sometimes also called 'sets') which consist of a sequence of movements. Many of these movements are originally derived from the martial arts (and perhaps even more ancestrally than that, from the natural movements of animals and birds) although the way they are performed in Tai Chi is slowly, softly and gracefully with smooth and even transitions between them…
