Hanoi listed among locations for Pantone’s 2023 colour of the year

As the colour of the year for 2023, Viva Magenta has been described as powerful and empowering. “Viva Magenta is brave and fearless, and a pulsating color whose exuberance promotes a joyous and optimistic celebration,” the website wrote.

Hanoi is one of three Asian representatives, notably being the only one in Southeast Asia, named in the list of 11 destinations around the world to find the colour.

Located on the outskirts of Hanoi, Quang Phu Cau incense village is an ideal place in which visitors can find Viva Magenta.

Ahead of celebrations for the Lunar New Year, known locally as Tet, tourists can find hundreds of bright-pink incense sticks fanned out like bouquets along the streets and courtyards, the website noted.

The best time of year to visit and experience this destination is in January, immediately before the Lunar New Year, it added.

Other Asian cities to make the list include Mysore in India and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.

Keukenhof flower garden in the Netherlands, Santorini in Greece, Cape Town in South Africa, Iceland, Cusco in Peru, Ria Formosa in Portugal, and Havana in Cuba are among the top places globally where tourists can find traces of the 2023 Pantone colour of the year.

Borrow money to rescue cats and dogs When talking about the cats and dogs that she is taking care of, Ngoc Hanh (nicknamed Na) always affectionately calls them her “little children.” Most of these cats and dogs wander or are abused and abandoned by their owners and when they reach Na, they are in a very sick or even near-death state. Therefore, she has to spend a large amount of money every month to take care of them and treat them. Photo: phunuvietnam.vn One of the pets that Na has just saved is MiNa, last month the medicine for MiNa was more than USD 83, the total veterinary bill was more than USD 209. She confided: “Their medicine is very expensive, even more expensive mine. People often laugh at me because my salary is low but I rescue dogs but I eat less and shop less. Also, I’m lucky to meet a caring vet who supports a small part of my veterinary bill every month and help me save many “children”. To cover the rest, I go to work to earn money and borrow some more t...
