| and since I'm shooting this video in March, |
| so I'm gonna have like more things to share with you maybe |
| and let's get started right away. |
| March is the best month of the year for me |
| because the weather is amazing. |
| Just like now, I feel like I'm in autumn. |
| So I really like this kind of weather between spring and summer |
| because it's not cold anymore and it's warmer. |
| The reason why we should travel in March |
| is the reason why we should travel in March. |
| March is the time of change. |
| The last month of the year is the last year of the year of the year of the year of the year. |
| Tháng ba là thời điểm chuyển giao cuối mùa xuân đầu mùa hè. |
| That means March is like the transaction between the end of spring and the beginning of summer. |
| Thời tiết miền Bắc vẫn còn xe lạnh. |
| Thời tiết miền Bắc vẫn còn xe lạnh. |
| That means the weather in the North is still a little bit cool |
| and Thời tiết miền Nam bắt đầu chuyển sang mùa khô. |
| That means the weather in the South starts to be dry season. |
| Tháng ba là thời điểm vừa qua Tết âm lịch chưa lâu. |
| That means March is the time when the Lunar New Year has not been too long. |
| So the festive environment or ambience is still around and people are still pretty relaxed. |
| Nhiều dịch vụ du lịch hãng hàng không sẽ có những yêu đại hấp dẫn. |
| Many travel services and airlines will have attractive incentives. |
| So those are many reasons why you should start to travel in March |
| and this is like one of the best times of the year to travel around Vietnam. |
| First, let's go to Quảng Ninh. |
| Quảng Ninh is like one of the top cities that we can travel in March |
| and this is the first one in the list, checked. |
| But what are there in Quảng Ninh at this time? |
| That means in this time, Quảng Ninh has a lot of festivals. |
| For example, Lễ Hội Hoa Anh Đào, Cherry Blossom Festival or Lễ Hội Mai Vàng ở Yên Tử. |
| That means Yellow Apricot Festival in Yên Tử. |
| Next one, let's go to Hải Phong. |
| Hải Phong là thành phố có rất nhiều hình thức du lịch. |
| That means Hải Phong is a city that has many forms of tourism. |
| Hải Phong là thành phố có rất nhiều hình thức du lịch. |
| Hải Phong có nhiều đặc sản như dừa dầm, bánh mì que, bánh đa cua. |
| Hải Phong có nhiều đặc sản như dừa dầm, bánh mì que, bánh đa cua. |
| So đặc sản here means the popular food in a specific city or a specific area. |
| So we got dừa dầm, bánh mì que and bánh đa cua. |
| They are very popular in Hải Phong. |
| Now let's go up to the north a little bit which is Sapa. |
| Lợt cấp nách thắng cố. |
| Lợt cấp nách means the very small pig that can be like carried in your armpit. |
| That kind of pig they don't grow them until they get very big but they just keep it like that size. |
| So the meat will be very nice and tasty. |
| And thắng cố is also one of the very common and popular foods in Sapa which is the horse hot pot. |
| Next one is also a northern city which is Điện Biên. |
| Một trong những gợi ý đi du lịch vào tháng 3 là đến Điện Biên ngắm hoa ban nở. |
| So one of the travel suggestions in March is to go to Điện Biên to see flowers blooming. |
| Right, hoa ban is a very typical and popular flower in Điện Biên. |
| And a lot of couples choose to go to Điện Biên to take pre-wedding photo shoots with hoa ban. |
| And if you've got a chance I think you must try one day. |
| Next one let's go to the center of Vietnam which is Huế. |
| Tháng 3 là thời điểm khép lại mùa mưa ở Huế. |
| That means March is the end of rainy season in Huế. |
| The weather is pretty cool and it's not sunny anymore so it's very good to travel to Huế |
| and spend like one or two days there because Huế is like a pretty small city. |
| What I think you'll find interesting when seeing all the old kingdoms of Huế, imperial city. |
| Tại Huế, bạn có thể đến những địa điểm nổi tiếng như Kinh thành Huế, Chùa Thiên Mụ. |
| Some of the very popular dishes in Huế such as bún bò Huế, canh cá lóc, cơm âm phủ. |
| So I don't know what cơm âm phủ is but it sounds a bit strange to me. |
| Bún bò Huế, canh cá lóc or cơm âm phủ. |
| Next one let's go to the island which is Côn Đảo. |
| Từ tháng 3 đến tháng 9 là thời điểm lý tưởng nhất để du lịch Côn Đảo. |
| Từ tháng 3 đến tháng 9 là thời điểm lý tưởng nhất để du lịch Côn Đảo. |
| From March to September is the ideal time to travel to Côn Đảo. |
| Now let's go to the south which is Saigon, one of my cities. |
| I've just come back from Saigon for work actually and the weather in Saigon now is super super nice. |
| It's a little bit warm at noon or during daytime but usually it's pretty windy |
| and it feels very like airy. |
| Also, food in Saigon is still the same because it is summer the whole year so there's not much just change. |
| That means traveling to Saigon is one of the options in March. |
| Now let's talk a little bit about holidays in March and the first one the biggest one |
| we got International Women's Day. |
| That means March 8th is the day to honor women around the world. |
| I don't know about other countries but in Vietnam International Women's Day is very very popular. |
| It's so big and it's a chance for women to be demanding just like Vietnamese Women's Day. |
| However, this is also a chance for the men in Vietnam shows appreciation to their women |
| and I think this is a really really good time for all families to celebrate together. |
| The next one is Valentine's Day, March 14th. |
| That means White Valentine originated in Japan then spread to Asia and then around the world. |
| So for couples that couldn't celebrate the regular Valentine's Day, they could celebrate White Valentine |
| which is one month later. |
| Now let's talk a little bit about holidays in March Lunar Calendar which is Tết Hành Thực. |
| In Vietnam we have Tết Hành Thực March 3rd in Lunar Calendar which is the Cold Food Festival. |
| So on this day usually we'll have Bánh Chôi, Bánh Chay, Bánh Chôi, Bánh Chay. |
| They are rice-loading cakes and this is a very common food in Tết Hành Thực the Cold Food Festival. |
| Once upon a time our grandparents used to use very simple ingredients to do something different |
| on special days and before we used to be very poor right we only got some rice, some sugar |
| and just because of those simple ingredients we could make rice-loading cakes and it's super |
| super delicious as well you should try it when you come to Vietnam this time. |
| Tết Hành Thực tháng 5 mang ý nghĩa tưởng nhớ đến người đã khuất. |
| That means the annual Hành Thực New Year is meant to remember the deceased. |
| And the last one that is also a very big one which is Ngày Dỗ Tổ Hùng Vương. |
| Ngày Dỗ Tổ Hùng Vương mùng 10 tháng 3 is the home king's commemoration. |
| So this day Dỗ Tổ Hùng Vương is one of the very big holidays of Vietnam and we've got one day off |
| which is like a public holiday and if it happens on weekend then we will have like one or two days |
| extra depends on the calendar. |
| So that means Dỗ Tổ Hùng Vương the home king's commemoration is to remember the great |
| merits of building the country of home kings. That's just for today a lot of things but |
| it was interesting right so I hope you enjoyed it and I can't wait to see you in the next video |
