Laguna Lăng Cô celebrated its five-year anniversary

Laguna Lăng Cô, the first integrated resort in Vietnam celebrated its five-year anniversary with a series of sensational events from 25th to 27th May 2018.

[rpi]

Five years ago, the integrated resort was established in Lang Co Bay, a destination well-known for the untouched natural beauty and unique cultural lifestyle. Lang Co was first discovered by King Khai Dinh, the 12th ruler of the Nguyen dynasty; and this destination retains its original attractiveness situated in a rural setting with picturesque countryside and natural elements of Feng Shui. Laguna Lăng Cô has been operating 2 luxury hotels branded Banyan Tree and Angsana, an 18-hole par-71 championship golf course designed by six-time Major winner Sir Nick Faldo, luxury private villas and residences, convention facilities and recreational activities.

As we turn five years old with many significant achievements under our belt, we now look forward to the next exciting phase of our development. It is our time! It is also the time for Hue and the province of Thua Thien Hue to have its moment in the sunshine”, shared by Mr Gavin Herholdt – Managing Director of Laguna Lăng Cô. “We have in 2018 gone from strength to strength. We have alliances with new strategic partners. We have a long list of events planned with our main focus on golf, fashion and music, and in particular, the connection between them”.

Wanderlust Tips Magazine | Laguna Lăng Cô celebrated its five-year anniversary

LAGUNA LĂNG CÔ – THE FIVE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY WITH A SERIES OF SENSATIONAL EVENTS

To celebrate the achievements of the integrated resort and to honour the contributions of all those associated with the development and operations of the resort, Laguna Lăng Cô marked its 5th anniversary with a fantastic series of lifestyle events. The programme started with a Sunset Cocktail Reception at Thư Quán on the first day, 25th May. The second day was truly a significant milestone with 3 important events: Spring-Summer 2018 fashion show by fashion designer Do Manh Cuong, the handover ceremony of the amended investment certificate for Laguna Lăng Cô project, increasing its investment capital to USD 2 billion and approving the development of a casino in the resort and the 5th anniversary gala dinner. On the last day, an exclusive golf tournament called Banyan Tree Belt for VIP guests made a memorable end to the five-year celebration.

THE FIRST FASHION SHOW IN VIETNAM ON A GOLF COURSE

The Spring-Summer 2018 fashion show by fashion designer Do Manh Cuong on 26th May was held in a beautiful summer afternoon to become the first fashion show in Vietnam to be hosted on the fairway of a golf course. The trendsetter, Do Manh Cuong, presented his new collection on a unique runway with the stunning backdrop of green mountainous forest and blooming yellow rice fields on the 3rd hole of Laguna Golf Lăng Cô. The golf course is well-known as Sir Nick Faldo’s favourite course design, surrounded on three sides by mountains as well as the sparkling East sea. The fashion show welcomed more than 300 VIP guests and all were treated to a colourful picture of a three-part collection that included 130 designs.

Wanderlust Tips Magazine | Laguna Lăng Cô celebrated its five-year anniversary

The last part was the most impressive collection featuring golden costumes with a symbol of the king and royal land; dragon phoenix patterns. The design in which Do Manh Cuong successfully mixed traditional materials with a distinctly modern look, delivered a massive impact for the guests. Do Manh Cuong achieved his objective of expressing his respect to the traditional natural and cultural values of Hue through his creative modern artwork.

THE HANDOVER CEREMONY OF AMENDED INVESTMENT CERTIFICATE FOR LAGUNA LĂNG CÔ PROJECT

Following the impressive fashion show on the golf course, a handover ceremony of the amended investment certificate for Laguna Lăng Cô project was conducted. This certificate and the casino license were presented by Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Mr Nguyen Van Cao to Executive Chairman of Banyan Tree Holdings Mr Ho Kwon Ping at Laguna Lăng Cô. The project expansion from 2018 to 2022 will see an increased investment capital from USD 875 million to USD 2 billion and includes a casino operation on its existing land.

Wanderlust Tips Magazine | Laguna Lăng Cô celebrated its five-year anniversary

Integrating a casino within the beach-golf resort which is in close proximity to three UNESCO Heritage Sites provides a unique culture, sporting and entertainment destination experience that will further boost tourism for the Thua Thien Hue region and attract global travelers. The 3-kilometre long site is sufficiently large to enable the development and operation of the casino while retaining the essential ambiance of a beach and golf resort that is stylish, sophisticated and yet contains areas and products that are family friendly. It is intended that the casino will be one of only a few luxurious international-scale casinos based in Vietnam, supplying 200 live tables and 2,000 slot machines when fully developed. Once its Phase 2 is completed, Laguna Lăng Cô will add in its project three large luxury hotels, MICE facilities, luxury private residences, sporting and entertainment activities, and a casino center which will increase global awareness of the resort and allow it to be promoted as an integrated holiday destination.

TRADITION MET MODERNITY IN GALA DINNER

The gala dinner celebrating the five-year commemoration of Laguna Lăng Cô was held in a perfect harmonization of East and West. The traditional values and contemporary tastes were blended through beautiful outdoor setup, delectable cuisines and distinctive art performances on the Central Lawn of Angsana Lăng Cô. Guests enjoyed the sounds of the waves on the beach while experiencing times past with traditional fan dance performances, and contemporary moments with a Thai fine dining set menu and an amazing 4-hand piano performance by Tuan Manh and Ngoc Phi as well as the operatic voice of Singer Ngoc Mai. The classical and elegant violin performance of Quang Phuc also contributed to the delight of the gala dinner.

While the winner each year will have his name engraved on the belt which will be displayed in the Golf Clubhouse, he or she will also receive a smaller replica of the belt to take home.

How to prepare your car for summer

Before you head out on the highway, prepare your car for summer with these essential vehicle service and maintenance tips.

[rpi]

Wanderlust Tips Magazine | How to prepare your car for summer

Step 1. Radiator check-up

Overheating engines are one of the biggest causes of summer breakdowns. Intense summer heat can strain your cooling system, so check that your radiator and hoses aren’t damaged. Make sure that air flow around your radiator is not blocked by dirt or debris, and that the radiator cap isn’t damaged.

Step 2. Keep your engine cool

After cleaning your radiator, make sure that it has the proper amount of coolant, with the reservoir half-full, radiator coolant should be flushed and changed approximately every two years. Ensure that you keep a 50/50 mix between coolant and distilled water.

Step 3. Check your battery

Battery fluid can evaporate in the summer heat and internal parts can become damaged. Check that the water level in each of the battery’s cells comes up to just below the cell’s inspection hole. If levels are low, carefully add more distilled water. Clean off the battery, as dirt can be a conductor and drain power. Pay attention to the terminals, as dirt or corrosion can weaken the power going into your car.

Step 4. Inspect your tires

Change in temperature cause changes in your tire’s internal pressure, so now is the time to give your tires a check-up. If you still have winter tires on, switch to summer or all-season tires. Make sure your tires aren’t cracked and have good tread, as hot summer asphalt can worsen these conditions.

Step 5. Is your ACrunning?

If your air conditioner seems weak, clean and inspect you condenser. If dirt or bugs are preventing airflow, that could be the cause. Check the belt inside the compressor. If your AC is still weak, you may be low on Freon and will need to refill. It’s often a good idea to have a mechanic do this, as levels must be precise.

Step 6. Wash and Wax

The harsh summer sun can cause your paint to fade or peel. Paint damage is more than cosmetic. Since paint acts as a protective layer sheilding the aluminum body from the elements, losing it will cause problems down the road. Help protect your paint by cleaning and waxing your car.

Step 7. Change your oil

Finish off your car’s summer check-up with an oil change, which you should get every 3,000 miles. If your car experiences particularly strenuous driving conditions, then you may want to change your oil more often.
