Question: I’m planning a trip to Vietnam and Cambodia, flying in and out of Saigon. I don’t think I’ll have time to visit northern Vietnam, but I was hoping to be able to get out to Siem Reap and see Angkor Wat. However the flights are $200 USD and it’s quite a distance, should I just skip it altogether?

October newsletter - Sanya, Hainan
Hello everyone. This is the Travelers Digest newsletter for the month of October. New this month, one of our writers has completed an article about the city of Sanya on the tropical island of Hainan in China. Sometimes called the ‘Hawaii of the Orient’, Hainan is a beautiful island and is quite popular among travelers in the Asia region. The article takes aim at the island’s many five-star resorts and gives advice on how to select the one that’s right for you. Take a look and see if there’s any information about Hainan that could serve you in future travels.
The Travelers Digest Guide to Sanya and its resorts
In September (2011) I had the pleasure of visiting the city of Sanya on the tropical island of Hainan. Hainan is an island province of the People’s Republic of China and the island itself is quite large, almost 34,000 square kilometers in size. The capital is a city called Haikou, which is located on the northern part of the island. However, for the majority of tourists, the most interesting part of Hainan is the city of Sanya. Located on the southernmost part of Hainan, Sanya is the only area in China that is located inside of a tropical climate region. It’s because of this tropical climate that Sanya has become a magnet for tourists from across the mainland and Hong Kong, as well as tourists from places as far away as Russia.

Destination of the month - November 2009
Destination of the month: Rajasthan, India. Rajasthan is a state located in the northwestern part of India. It’s primarily a desert region known for its unique culture, historic palaces and forts and its amazing landscape. The state is also home to two national tiger reserves, and several holy sites of the Hindu and Jain religions.
As it is a desert region, visitors to Rajasthan have to be careful to avoid the extreme temperatures. It’s not advised to visit the region during the summer months, with temperatures being most comfortable from October-April. However November is one of the best times to visit Rajasthan as the weather is cool but it’s before the tourist high season which starts in December.
I’ll be in Rajasthan for the entire month of November; I’m making a circular route covering the state in its entirety. I’ll make sure to let everyone know how my trip turns out.
Check out our website for information on the region and other travel information on Rajasthan: http://www.travelersdigest.com/india.htm

Vietnam is now issuing visas on arrival to travellers arriving by air to the airports of Da Nang, Hanoi or Saigon. By visiting the website www.visa-vietnam.org/ you can purchase an electronic ‘visa approval letter’ that is then printed out and shown at the visa on arrival desk at one of the previously mentioned airports.
