			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>A Different Kind of Adventure Lodge</h4>
<p>The Bivou Lijiang, located in the UNESCO World Heritage site of Lijiang, is a designer guesthouse for the modern adventurer. Housed within two historic farmyards built by the area’s Naxi minority tribe, our 16 rooms look out over private gardens landscaped to reflect the full color and fragrances of the changing seasons.</p>
<div>The Bivou was borne out of a simple idea: an adventure lodge that is authentic and sustainable, and sets new standards in comfort and style. Built around farmhouses that have stood on the site for over a hundred years, The Bivou stays true to its roots and celebrates the authentic building techniques of the local villagers. At the same time, sustainability lies at the core of all that we do. On top of this we’ve added our own unique Bivou touches, and imbued our rooms and spaces with a designer aesthetic which wouldn’t be out of place in Shanghai or New York. Who says adventure travel can’t be stylish?<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-482" style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial;" title="mark-bivou" src="http://www.greenisland.com.sg/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/mark-bivou-300x136.png" alt="" width="300" height="136" /><br />
It’s time for a different adventure.</p>
<p>You may wish to check-in to this hotel with our Tailor-made Package: -</p>

<h3><strong>綠島旅遊2012年度重量級旅行新路線 ～ 嚴寒伴我童話行 - 2012年1.2月喀纳斯冬季深度摄影创作行程</strong><br />
<strong>GreenIslandTours 2012 New Travel Advantures ~ Winter Kanas Photography Tour Package</strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Kanas Lake, located in the valley of the Altai, China&#8217;s Northwest Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, is a famous natural resort. Colors of Kanas Lake vary in the different seasons and weather. Its beauty and mysterious folk tales attract many tourists.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.greenisland.com.sg/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/kanas-river1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-430" title="kanas-river1" src="http://www.greenisland.com.sg/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/kanas-river1.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="178" /></a></p>
<p>In the winter, it turns into a fantastic world of ice and snow, where visitors will find a remarkable view of crystal snow willows and frozen Kanas lake covered with thick snow.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.greenisland.com.sg/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/kanas-river2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-431" title="kanas-river2" src="http://www.greenisland.com.sg/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/kanas-river2.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="175" /></a></p>
<p>Apart from Kanas&#8217;s charming and mysterious scenery, Tuwa people, a Mongolian tribe living at Kanas Lake, is a major attraction. The valiant ethnic minority is good at equestrian, skiing, and hunting. Kanas Lake and Tuwa people, integrating with each other, constitute the unique views and folks at Kanas.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.greenisland.com.sg/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/winter-kanas06.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-436" title="winter-kanas06" src="http://www.greenisland.com.sg/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/winter-kanas06-300x209.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="209" /></a><a href="http://www.greenisland.com.sg/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/winter-kanas03.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-440" title="winter-kanas03" src="http://www.greenisland.com.sg/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/winter-kanas03-300x209.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="209" /></a></p>
<p>喀纳斯河与禾木河汇合后叫做布尔津河，布尔津河在布尔津县附近汇入额尔齐斯河，额尔齐斯河向北流入哈萨克斯坦的斋桑湖后再向北流出叫鄂毕河，鄂毕河在穿越茫茫的西西伯利亚后最终汇入北冰洋的喀拉海。</p>
<p>鄂毕河从中国的额尔齐斯河源头算起到北冰洋全长5410公里，是世界按长度计算的第七大河流。如此说来喀纳斯湖与喀纳斯河和禾木河在地球村里，也算得上是出身赫赫有名的豪门望族了&#8230;&#8230;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>近年來臺灣電影在全球各大影展獲得高度肯定，讓世界看見臺灣不同的軟實力及人文面貌。去年來臺旅客人次首創歷史新高556.7萬人次，交通部觀光局為趁勝追擊，鎖定全球觀<wbr>­光市場的青年背包客、銀髮夫妻、年輕女性及年輕家庭4類旅客族群，首次嚐試以電影拍攝手法，製作全新的國際宣傳影片。將臺灣自然美景及人文感動，透過影片的「視覺」和「聽<wbr>­覺」，將臺灣的美、臺灣的聲音、臺灣的人情味深深觸擊到世界的每位旅客心中，以吸引更多旅客來臺觀光與體驗。<br />
Taiwanese movies have earned a high reputation in international film festivals over the past few years, giving a different impression of Taiwan, with its vitality of soft power and culture, to the whole world. Last year, the number of visitors to Taiwan reached a record of 5,567,000; to keep the number rising, the Tourism Bureau is targeting 4 categories of tourists: young backpackers, senior couples, young women, and families. A brand-new international promotional film was shot, using movie production values for the first time, to incorporate the island&#8217;s natural beauty and cultural diversity into a short film. The beauty of Taiwan is shown through both images and sound to portray Taiwan&#8217;s warmth and hospitality to from tourists around the world.</wbr></wbr></p>
<p>旅行中最令人印象深刻的是「人」，也因為「人」使旅行更具意義和價值，而臺灣的人情味一直都是國際旅客最為稱讚的魅力點。觀光局特別邀請獲得Promax、iF Design、red-dot國際競賽大獎的臺灣新銳導演羅申駿先生，以及榮獲2座艾美獎的美國知名攝影師Mr. Michael Fimognari，為本片&#8221;Time for Taiwan—My Beautiful Island&#8221;親自操刀，跳脫政府宣傳的框架，顛覆以往景點式或偶像式的拍攝手法，以重拾人情味作為臺灣旅遊的最大賣點。透過4組國際旅客的目光，以電影說故事的方式呈現<wbr>­，旅客從入境臺灣對旅程未知的期待，到旅行臺灣過程中的精彩發現和驚喜感動。旅行並非一段旅程的結束，而是一個故事的開始！它對旅客所產生的內在價值是無價的啟發，也是促<wbr>­其再次造訪的動力。&#8221;It&#8217;s time for Taiwan!&#8221;旅行臺灣，就是現在！讓我們一起歡迎更多外國友人來臺體驗這座美麗的島嶼吧！<br />
The most meaningful element of a trip is &#8220;people&#8221;, who give tourists their most lasting memories, and it is friendly interpersonal relations that make Taiwan a unique destination for tourists from all over the world. The Tourism Bureau invited director Johnason Lo, who has won international Promax, iF Design, and red-dot awards, and Michael Fimognari, a well-known photographer with two Emmy awards to his credit, to help produce the film, &#8220;Time for Taiwan—My Beautiful Island&#8221;. The film takes a completely different perspective, and focuses primarily on interpersonal relations at their most unique. The film is designed in a way that escapes the constraints of a rigid government promotional film, and also abandons the old fashioned style of a drama or a scenic-spot-oriented film. The images in the film are seen through eyes of four groups of tourists and through their stories in Taiwan, which show vividly the excitement and discovery they experience during their journey. A trip can produce in tourists valuable memories and a desire to come again. This is what the film, &#8220;It&#8217;s time for Taiwan&#8221;, tries to tell everyone in the world: come experience this beautiful island.</wbr></wbr></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to a world where the colours are more vivid, where the landscapes are bolder, the coastline more dramatic, where the history is more compelling, where the tastes are more divine, where life is lived in the fast lane. This world is Vietnam, the latest Asian dragon to awake from its slumber.</p>
<p>Fasten your seatbelts as Ho Chi Minh City is a metropolis on the move – and we’re not just talking about the motorbikes that throng the streets. <span style="color: #ff00ff;">Saigon</span>, as it’s known to all but city officials, is Vietnam at its most dizzying: a high-octane city of commerce and culture that has driven the whole country forward with its limitless energy. It is a living organism that breathes life and vitality into all who settle here, and visitors cannot help but be hauled along for the ride.</p>
