Real Experiences from a 5-Day Trip in Vietnam
I visited Vietnam for the second time with a mindset of relaxation and doing nothing much. I went to Ho Chi Minh, Nha Trang, Mui Ne, and organized my itinerary and some tips to avoid pitfalls 💣 for everyone. 🔴 Itinerary Day 1: Nha Trang Cathedral - Long Son Pagoda - Po Nagar Cham Towers - Hon Chong Promontory Day 2: Nha Trang's Disney by Sea, "Vinpearl Land" Day 3: Off-the-beaten-path island paradise in Nha Trang, Fairyland Bay Day 4: Fairy Village - Mui Ne Fishing Village - Red Sand Dunes - White Sand Dunes Day 5: Dalat Old Train Station - Mary's Sanctuary - Catholic Church - Datanla Waterfall - Xuan Huong Lake ⭕️ About Transportation The traffic here is chaotic, with many motorcycles 🏍️ and cars 🚖. For short distances, you can choose to walk 🚶♀️. If you need to take a taxi, you can use Grab. ⭕️ About Accommodation For those planning to visit Hanoi, I recommend staying in the Old Quarter 🏨 of Hanoi, near the bustling city center, Hoan Kiem Lake, or around the Thirty-Six Streets. Most of the attractions are within this area, and many well-reviewed pho shops and coffee shops are also nearby, all easily accessible. ⭕️ About Surfing Surf at My Khe Beach! The security here is quite good, suitable for surfers of all levels. The bay is long with many waves and strong currents! Surfing is a lot of fun! Novices should not go into the water alone ‼️ Surfing is very physically demanding, remember to eat something before hitting the waves to replenish your energy, trim your long nails, and do not wear glasses (for those with myopia, you can wear daily disposables and throw them away after). ⭕️ About Food ✔️ Vietnamese cuisine is notably characterized by the extensive use of herbs such as lemongrass, mint, Thai basil, and so on. Rice 🍚 is the staple food in Vietnam. Vietnamese food is relatively light, with less oil and a sweet and sour taste. ✔️ The most famous Vietnamese dishes are probably pho 🍲 and coffee ☕️. Vietnam began cultivating coffee in the mid-19th century, and it is now one of the world's leading coffee-producing countries. #VietnamTravel #HoChiMinhCity #NhaTrangTravel #VietnameseCuisine #VietnameseFood #HoChiMinhFood #NhaTrangFood #WhereToGoForNewYear
