Ba Be Lake (literately means three lakes) is the largest natural lake in Vietnam. It’s a highlight point that tourists can’t miss on Vietnam tours. Ba Be Lake is located in the middle of limestone, in Nam Mau commune, Bac Kan district, BacKan province, in the northeastern region in Vietnam tours’ traveling map. With the good road condition, it only takes about a 5.5 hour drive from Hanoi to get there. Due to its special geological constitution, the lake has very original unique features compared with other worldwide caster lakes. Caster lakes are empty or only with one season of water, while Ba Be Lake has full water year round. Ba Be Lake is considered the “Green Gem” in Vietnam. That’s why so many Vietnam tours make Ba Be Lake as “must-go” point for northern adventures in sightseeing, trekking, but most of all, kayaking.

October 30th, 2011South Africa Cities: Cultural Centres
South African cities are the meeting places for cultures across Africa, making them interesting places to include on Southern Africa holidays. Local vendors sell you their traditional African crafts in the streets outside international designer stores, and Indian spice shops are just next door. It’s one of the few places in the world where you see women in traditional African dress carrying their shopping on their heads, walking past businessmen busy on their Blackberries.
Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg are the most popular cities visited by tourists on Southern Africa holidays. In Cape Town, Long Street is the place to be seen, where you can dine at a deli on the pavement and just watch the passers by. You will see trendy and alternative socialites strut past, followed by Rastafarians offering to sell you their stock. You’ll see hippies wandering around with no shoes on, and people wearing traditional African dress.
