Read moreVisiting Grand World Hưng Yên was such a fun experience! It’s definitely a bit far from Hanoi Old Quarter—around 1.5 to 2 hours by car—but honestly, it was worth the trip. The place is huge and feels like a mix of shopping, leisure, and entertainment all in one spot.
One highlight for me was having the chance to shop at the Adidas Outlet Store inside. I was able to score some great deals that you wouldn’t normally find in the city. With the variety of shops and the atmosphere of the place, it made the long ride totally worth it.

Read moreMega Grand World in Hanoi was a surprising highlight—much bigger than expected, especially once you explore beyond the central area. It was fairly quiet when we arrived mid-afternoon, but the atmosphere picked up later with more people arriving, creating a nice buzz without feeling overcrowded. There are lots of food and coffee outlets throughout, from local bites to trendy cafés, making it a great spot to relax and refuel. The vibrant use of color across the buildings gives it a fun, almost European feel, and the gondola ride was a unique and enjoyable way to see the area from a different angle.
We easily could have spent more time there, especially with so many photo-worthy corners and spots to explore off the main strip. There’s a great mix of entertainment, dining, and scenic walking areas, and it all felt clean, safe, and well maintained. The free shuttle bus back to the Opera House was a bonus and made getting there and back simple. A fun outing whether you’re after a relaxing stroll, a bite to eat, or just something visually different from the usual Hanoi experience.
Best of all...
