    The world's longest sea-crossing cable car is beautiful and indeed very long. We were the only two people on the way there, which was fantastic as we had it all to ourselves. The Xiangdao Amusement Park was alright, but we weren't very interested in the water park. The complimentary drink vouchers were only redeemed at different points for beer and watermelon juice, which was a bit of a letdown. We ended up redeeming the beer but barely drank any, which wasn't a great experience. Otherwise, it was fine.

    Very cost-effective, affordable price, Ba Na Hills is definitely worth a visit, picturesque scenery, European 🏰, as if you have traveled back to the Middle Ages, sometimes foggy, sometimes afternoon, sometimes sunny, a very dreamy place.

    It was a nice experience, I’ve spent there the whole day. My advice: don’t go there at 9 am. The park will be opened, but all the activities opens at 10 am, so it was a bit waste of time. First place to go is definitely aquarium, because at noon it’s crowded with people and it’s impossible to take photos.

    Buying tickets on trip.com makes things very convenient. However, it can be difficult to find where to claim the handband for the bus in the zoo. Do ask around

    A perfect day at I-Resort Nha Trang, soaking in hot mineral springs and a private mud bath surrounded by nature’s calm.The water was warm and silky, the air filled with the gentle sound of flowing streams. For a moment, time slowed down — and I felt what “true relaxation” really means.No rush, no noise, just peace.My skin felt smoother, my mind lighter… it’s as if all the stress simply melted away with the warm mineral mud. 🧖‍♀️✨If only we had something like this back home — I’d come every week just to find this kind of calm again. 🍃

    This trip was great. Centrally located pick up and drop off points. Please note that the starting points are different at different times if the day. The bus drives through lots of the central parts of Saigon so you can see how the daily life is and how busy all the streets are from above. Driving such a large bus in the city is impressive. I went during a weekday afternoon so there were not as many people on the bus. which was great for me. Please note that when you ride the top of the bus it's quite scenic but also exposed to lots of sun.

    Excellent, a very local performance. The performers stand behind a curtain, using bamboo poles and other tools to manipulate the puppets. Musicians and voice actors are on either side of the stage. It's right by Hoan Kiem Lake. Just use navigation to get there. Buy tickets at the ticket window. Sitting in the front rows allows for a better view. Because I was sitting near the front, I could vaguely see the bamboo poles and wires used to control the puppets. The artists are amazing!
