Fansipan among five top destinations for mountain trekking at year-end

Fansipan mountain is located in the northern mountainous province of Lao Cai and the height of its peak is 3,147.3 metres.

It is the highest mountain in the Indochinese Peninsula which comprises of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, leading to its nickname of “the Roof of Indochina”.

Fansipan is tucked away in the scenic Muong Hoa valley, an area known equally for its photogenic rice field terraces and excellent hiking trails, according to Singaporean website Women’s Weekly.

The climb to the summit can be conquered in a couple of days with the help of local guides, or a 20-minute cable-car ride from the centre of Sa Pa, a quaint town that itself is worth attention. The cable-car ride has led to the peak now being slightly more touristy compared to a decade ago, particularly as it has been extensively renovated for accessibility and as a showcase of Vietnam’s culture, the website noted.

The massive statues and temples at the peak are an impressive sight nonetheless, as are the views of the surrounding area, the website added.

Rounding off the top five destinations near Singapore to go mountain trekking at the end of this year, as compiled by website Women’s Weekly, are Mount Kinabalu and Borneo of Malaysia, Mount Phongun of Myanmar, and Mount Rinjani of Indonesia.

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.

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.

Vietnam fail to solve Singapore’s defense in goalless AFF Cup clash

Vietnam had a difficult game at Jalan Besar Stadium in Singapore as they struggled to find a way through the disciplined and multi-layered defense of the hosts. The 2008 and 2018 winners, who started with a line-up including many reserved players, barely created a relevant chance in the first half. In the second half, Vietnam put several key players in and created more profound attacks. However, Singapore’s defense remained solid. Vietnamese striker Nguyen Tien Linh, forward Nguyen Van Quyet and midfielder Nguyen Hoang Duc had many good chances to score, but all of them ended up in vain as their precision was lacked. Vietnam were the closest to goal when Nguyen Hoang Duc’s shot hit the post in the 84th minute. The 0-0 draw against Singapore still retains Vietnam’s top spot in Group B and leaves the door to the semifinals wide open for the two-time winners. The Vietnamese will only be eliminated if they lost to Myanmar from eight goals and Malaysia defeat Singapore in the la...
