Kumamon Friends Team May Vietnam Michelin Restaurant Food Tour The Kumamon department manager who graduated from Kumamoto University, brought Ju Zhicheng who was newly arrived at the Kumamon Birthday Festival in March this year, the food girls fatty+Puffy, KiwiBird Lavender, and Miyazaki dog Lemon, to travel to Hanoi, the capital of northern Vietnam, and Hoi An, Da Nang, in the central part of Vietnam during the Labor Day holiday in May. The theme of this trip is to eat all the restaurants in the 2024 Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant guide. Every meal is authentic snacks, and the itinerary is only secondary~ It coincides with the 50th anniversary of Vietnam's reunification. We are honored to celebrate the national commemorative festival with the Vietnamese people. There are so many people and the atmosphere is great! The first episode introduces Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. The minister and other children visited Hanoi in October 2023 and stayed for 4 days. They visited the city, cruised in Halong Bay, and visited the suburbs of Ninh Binh. The impression was that it was a city very similar to Guilin in China. The city atmosphere was leisurely and relaxed, and there were many unique delicacies in the north, including Obama barbecue rice noodles Bun Cha, a very famous French restaurant, duck dishes, etc. This was my second visit, and I reserved two days to take my kids to find the following delicacies. We also enjoyed Vietnamese hot stone massage, Vietnamese durian, beef river-flavored potato chips, and Vietnamese shampoo. This time, I was very happy to welcome new penguin friends from Miniso in Vietnam to join our big family. They are all very cute and well-behaved children. The Minister sincerely recommends Hanoi to friends who have been to Da Nang and Hoi An, saying that it is a peaceful, low-priced and beautiful city and countryside. October to March is the best time to visit the north, with pleasant temperatures and plenty of sunshine. Fortunately, it didn't rain in May this time, it was just hot. Michelin Bib Gourmand Restaurant Guide 2024 -Don Duck Old Quarter duck dishes: duck rice noodles, duck thighs, duck steaks, etc. Friends who like duck meat will definitely like it. The price is very reasonable and many foreign tourists patronize it~ -La Badiane French Cuisine: It is recommended to make reservations in advance on Facebook. The lunch set is more affordable and includes soup, appetizer, main course, dessert and a glass of red and white wine. There are many people, many tourists~ -Fabrik French Cuisine: A French restaurant that is rarely visited. The food is equally excellent and the price is half the price of the previous one. It is carefully prepared. I also chose the lunch set. The onion soup and Cream Brulee were of very high quality. I hope to come again if I have the chance. It is not currently listed in the Michelin list. - Cafe Giảng & Vi Anh Coffee - Hanoi's famous egg coffee, can be served hot or cold, hot drink is recommended! -Ba Trai coriander and pork skewers -Bun Cha Ta Hanoi BBQ Rice Noodles -Hanoi Inland Airport - Lounge to watch the planes take off and have a good rest~ Hanoi Attractions - Tran Quoc Pagoda & West Lake: Hanoi's historical and cultural heritage and Buddhist architecture -Hanoi Cathedral: St. Joseph's Cathedral, a Catholic church built in 1886 - Thirty-six Ancient Streets: A nostalgic pedestrian street in Hanoi, with a market every weekend night -Hoan Kiem Lake: Hanoi's mythical lake - Temple of Literature & Imperial Academy: It is dedicated to Confucius, a place for cultivating elites in ancient times, and the first university in Vietnam -Aeon Mall: A rare large shopping mall in Hanoi, a good place for locals to go on weekends. It is a little far away from the old town. If you have time, you can go to Aeon Supermarket, which has sufficient supply. #Hanoi #Tran Quoc Pagoda #West Lake #Hanoi Cathedral #36 Ancient Streets #Hoan Kiem Lake #Confucian Temple #Imperial Academy #Vietnam #Hanoi #Halong Bay #Ju Zhichengjun #Kumamon #Kumamon #Foodie #Michelinguide #Donducoldquarter #Cafegiảng #eggcoffee #Buncha #50th Anniversary of Vietnam's Reunification #Ningping #Puffy #Miyazaki Dog #KiwiBird #Travelinvietnam

DAY 9: The Temple of Literature was built in 1070 AD by Emperor Ly Thanh Tong of the Ly Dynasty of Vietnam in Thang Long, now Hanoi. In 1076, Emperor Li Renzong built the Imperial Academy behind the Confucian Temple. Initially, it was only for the children of the emperor's relatives to study. In 1223, the emperor of the Chen Dynasty changed the name of the Imperial Academy to the National Academy, and gradually expanded the enrollment scope so that children of common people could also study there. The Tong Xuan Market is a large-scale local wholesale market. The first floor is mainly for daily necessities and branded shoes and bags; the second floor is mainly for traditional Vietnamese clothing and fabrics; the third floor is mainly for infant clothing. We visited several stores and asked about the prices, and the prices offered were all on the high side. After leaving the market, we experienced the local tricycles. Because the guests sit in the front and the driver rides in the back, it is also called "the guests die first", which is quite appropriate. The traffic in the city is really very chaotic from morning to night. The traffic lights are completely decorative. Pedestrians who want to cross the road have to rely on their own abilities. Once they make up their minds, they will keep going at a constant speed. Cars and motorcycles will calculate the distance and pass in front of or behind you. Don't stop suddenly or speed up to jog, otherwise it will cause trouble to the locals. When you come here, you must follow the local customs and forget the pedestrian emperor clause in Taiwan. Finally, let me share with you the various massage experiences I had in North Vietnam this time! ●Halong Bay-60 minutes Vietnamese body essential oil + hot stone massage 220K ●Hanoi - 60 minutes traditional body massage 360K ●Shaba-60 minutes half body (scalp + neck + upper back) + foot massage 180K ●Hanoi-45 minutes Vietnamese shampoo + scalp massage + facial mask 270K As for tips, I gave 50K for a 60-minute massage and 20K for a hair wash. Based on an objective analysis, the overall consumer price in Sapa is relatively low compared to the three cities. The stores offer reasonable prices, and if you buy a lot, you can ask the store owner for a discount. Taking the real-time exchange rate of EX APP as 1:784, the best exchange rate is 1:755 among local travel agencies in Hanoi city, and the worst is 1:690 at the airport. Massage shops and souvenir shops in various cities also provide exchange, but the exchange rate is about 1:700-720. It is simply for convenience. You can exchange as much as you need, because it is difficult to exchange any unused money back into Taiwan dollars. This is our ninth day in North Vietnam. Please follow our steps and come and see this beautiful world together!

DAY 8: I originally planned to rent a motorcycle for a day trip to Ninh Binh, but after experiencing the traffic in Hanoi city, I was glad that I chose to join the local tour's luxury bus day tour. Lu Long Bay in Ninh Binh Province is famous for its spectacular limestone peaks, caves and rice fields. Hoa Lu was the capital of Vietnam in the 10th century. Although the old city no longer exists, there are still some ruins and temples that bear witness to this period of history. Tam coc in Lulong Bay Scenic Area means "three caves", namely Hang Ca, Hang Hai and Hang Ba, all located on the Ngo Dong River and now listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The two of us sat in a small boat, one in front and one behind, with the boatman rowing with his feet, starting from Van Lam Pier, enjoying the unique karst topography and beautiful rice field landscape along the way. The limestone caves we entered were lower than one another, and the caves were dark and rugged, but the boatman could accurately control the direction of travel. Passengers should also pay attention to the rocks above their heads and lie down to avoid them. After exiting the cave, it felt like arriving in a paradise, with a feeling of "walking through stone caves with green peaks, suddenly seeing flowers and willows welcoming you". The scenery on both sides changed from endless to surrounded by mountains, as if being in the artistic conception of an ancient poem "the mountains are continuous and the sound is endless, the light boat has passed the green peaks". This is our eighth day in North Vietnam. Please follow our steps and come and see this beautiful world together!

DAY 6: Today’s highlight of our trip to Sapa is to climb the highest peak in French Indochina (Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam) - Fansipan Peak, which is 3,143 meters high. First, we walked to Sun Plaza Shopping Mall and took the monorail to Sun World Fansipan Legend. Here we transferred to the Guinness World Record-certified non-stop & 3 The roped cable car climbs 1,410 meters through the clouds to the top station, and then climbs about 600 stone steps to reach the first-class triangulation point of Fansipan Peak. There are 3-4 triangulation points on three sides and a large flag stand, so that all tourists can find a suitable angle to take beautiful photos. This is also the junction of Vietnam and Yunnan, China, so you can also see many ethnic minorities-Hmong people, selling some handicrafts. On the way back, we enjoyed a sumptuous buffet at Fan Sam Restaurant; this electronic package includes monorail train + cable car + buffet lunch, about 1,500 yuan per person. There are many comments on the Internet that it is too expensive, but after the actual experience, I feel that it is more than worth the money. Think about it. In Taiwan, a casual buffet meal costs almost 1,500 yuan. Moreover, this mountain cable car has also won the Guinness World Record, but unfortunately, the clouds and fog on the mountain are misty and the visibility is poor. It really lives up to its name of "the foggy place where heaven and earth meet"! This is our sixth day in North Vietnam. Please follow our steps and come and see this beautiful world together!

DAY 7: Sapa is located in the northwest of Vietnam. It has the highest mountain in Vietnam and the stunning terraced rice fields that were rated as one of the seven most beautiful in the world by the American travel magazine Travel Leisure. Also because the town and mountains of Sapa are similar to the Alps and the weather is cool and comfortable, the French built many elegant French buildings and gardens here during the colonial period for the former nobles to escape the summer heat. Sapa thus became a summer resort for the French nobles at that time! The terraced fields surrounded by clouds and mist, coupled with the elegant French architecture, this fantastic scenery that combines the East and the West, makes Sapa a must-visit place in the dream list of many travelers. After checking out at noon, I left my luggage at the front desk and went to a nearby massage parlor to enjoy a 60-minute half-body massage + foot massage. Mrs. Han went shopping and bought a Kanken backpack, Cross Busch shoes, TNF shorts, Ao Dai, and CC socks. The total cost was 940K, which was enough for me to enjoy three Vietnamese massages...>O< Shaba Lake is located in the center of Shaba Town. There is a path around the lake and a small park next to the lake. Shaba Lake has a unique flavor regardless of whether it is sunny or rainy. The European-style buildings on the lakeside make people feel as if they are in Europe! If you want to cruise on the lake, there are of course swan boats available for rent. Looking at the town of Shaba from afar in the lake is another kind of comfort and relaxation. At two o'clock in the afternoon, the driver came to the hotel lobby to greet us on time. We stopped twice at rest stops along the way. The whole journey was about 317 kilometers and took 6.5 hours. We arrived safely at the hotel where we would stay in Hanoi Old Quarter tonight. The hotel front desk clerk asked: Where are you from today? I replied: Sapa. The waiter gasped and said: Wow! That's a long way! We will take part in the local tour of Lulong Bay tomorrow, so we will go to bed early today... Good night! This is our seventh day in North Vietnam.

DAY 1: Although there is no National Day holiday this year, the second terminal of Taoyuan Airport is still crowded in the morning. Everyone follows the principle of changing two days to five days and four days to nine days, and refuses to be cheated by domestic travel. Various tour groups crowded the entire check-in counter. Since I have completed pre-check-in, I can directly pull the cabin bag into the customs after arriving at the airport. It only takes 10 minutes to pass through customs smoothly, saving a lot of waiting time in line. I can also enjoy a cup of freshly made latte and Taiwanese beef noodles in the VIP lounge. This time I took EVA Air BR397 to Hanoi, and it is expected to start a ten-day "perfect couple, Yuan Ding Jingsheng" 15th anniversary wedding five-star honeymoon trip in North Vietnam. Fortunately, I was upgraded to "Premium Economy Class". EVA's Premium Economy Class uses business class seats, provides more comfortable personal space, and is equipped with a number of cabin-exclusive equipment. Although the meals are the same as those in economy class, it is also a small surprise for pre-check-in... After arriving at Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi, the exclusive private car driver was waiting in the lobby. The drive from Hanoi to Halong Bay takes about 2 hours. This highway was completed in 2018, which saves half the travel time between the two places. Along the way, you will pass through major cities such as Hanoi, Haiyang and Haiphong, where you can enjoy the towns and rural scenery of North Vietnam. When the car enters Halong City, you can see the conical peaks of limestone islands in the bay in the distance. After thousands of years, the world's unique and magnificent sea erosion karst landforms have been formed here; although October begins the rainy season in North Vietnam, the weather is still hot and humid, and it will be slightly cool in the early morning and evening. This is our first day in North Vietnam. Please follow our steps and come and see this beautiful world together!

DAY 5: At 6:30 in the morning, the train slowly arrived at Lao Cai Station. From here, it takes another hour by bus to reach the destination - Sapa. Taking the night train is indeed a transportation experience you can try when traveling to North Vietnam. You can use your sleeping time to move to the next city, but there is no bathroom on the train, and the body of the train shakes and makes a lot of noise during driving, which is not suitable for people with poor sleep quality, especially after arriving at Lao Cai Station and taking a mountain bus for an hour. It is even more hell for people who are prone to motion sickness, but the natural beauty of Sapa Mountain City will definitely amaze you; although the KK SAPA HOTEL where we stayed for the next two nights is far away from the bustling city, the balcony of the room on the 17th floor offers a good view of Fansipan Mountain and the entire valley terraces. The view is very good and it is quiet at night, and you can also look out over the entire night view of Sapa; a 5-minute walk from the hotel is the Moana Sapa virtual paradise, which is a popular photo-taking spot. Ao Dai and traditional costumes can be rented on site, and the ticket price of 90K includes a bottle of soft drink. In the evening, we walked from the hotel to the city center, and the most eye-catching landmark was Sun Plaza Sapa, a towering building that combines neoclassical, French and Haussmann styles. It can be seen almost everywhere in the streets and alleys. Many shops along the way sell well-known brand clothing, functional jackets, brand-name bags and shoes. The prices are very cheap, but I won’t comment on whether they are true or not. The prices of massage shops are also much cheaper than those in Hanoi. I will share with you the various massage experiences I had during my trip when I have the chance; I will spend the next two days exploring this beautiful mountain town!

DAY 4: The original itinerary for this morning was canoeing or taking a speedboat cruise at our own expense, but we chose to relax on the private balcony of the Royal Suite and seize the last moment to enjoy the beauty of Halong Bay. After checking out at noon, we returned to the yacht dock and took the pre-booked luxury car back to Hanoi city. When we arrived at Hanoi Railway Station, we first went to the ticket center to store our luggage, and then walked lightly to the ruins of the Thang Long Imperial Citadel. Its status is like the Forbidden City in Beijing. Unfortunately, many buildings have been damaged and collapsed after the war, and we can only imagine its splendor from the simulation map. During the Vietnam War, it was used as the command center of North Vietnam, and the underground air defense situation room at that time was preserved. As night fell, we went to the famous Internet celebrity check-in spot-Train Street, where there is a currency exchange office Vàng Bạc Nhật Nam Hùng Thuý, which provides the same exchange rate as XEapp. Friends in need can refer to it. We walked into a ChuChu hidden at the end of the alley. Railways, ordered a cup of egg coffee and passion fruit, watched three trains pass by in front of us in a row, it was very shocking, the alleys near the train street were very lively, delicious food and local snacks, we also tasted CHAO GA (chicken porridge) and MY BO (beef noodles) which were highly recommended by the locals, after eating and drinking, we enjoyed a 60-minute full body essential oil + hot stone massage. If we hadn't taken a night train today, we should have returned to the hotel to rest by this time. At nine o'clock in the evening, the city of Hanoi was still bustling with traffic. After returning to the station, we dragged our luggage and prepared to take the night train to Sapa, a famous mountain town in North Vietnam. This is our fourth day in North Vietnam.

DAY 3: At 5:20 in the morning, I sat on the balcony chair to welcome the sunrise over Halong Bay. It was still a warm orange when it rose slowly. Less than half an hour later, the sky gradually brightened. The sound of the motor of the local residents' boats broke the silence, shuttling between the cruise ships to sell snacks and drinks. After breakfast, we took a shuttle boat to Ti-top Island. Today we will go to Bai Tu Long Bay for a full day of exploration, including kayaking through sea caves, swimming on the mysterious beach, visiting the pearl farm and ME CUNG stalactite cave; the kayaking itinerary can get close to every island, and you can also cross the natural sea caves to test your control skills. Immersed in the world heritage and natural beauty, my wife and I began to recite poems... Leisurely sailing in Baitulong, paddling with the waves, The blue sky, the green mountains, and the green waters reflect the stunning scenery; Being in this scene, leaving all worries behind, The only people who are mediocre and busy are those around you. ME CUNG Stalactite Cave is located on a small island. Climbing up the steps along the trail, you will enter a natural stalactite cave hidden in the cave. Combined with lighting, these strange-shaped rocks that have been formed over hundreds to thousands of years can be presented in their original appearance to tourists from all over the world. This is our third day in North Vietnam. Please follow our steps and come and see this beautiful world together!

DAY 2: In the morning, we woke up naturally at a five-star hotel in Halong Bay, and enjoyed a rich buffet breakfast at leisure. After checking out at 11 o'clock, we walked to the international cruise terminal to prepare for a three-day and two-night trip to explore Halong Bay and Bai Tu Long Bay. Two weeks before departure, the shipping company notified us that the cruise ship we originally booked was scheduled for annual maintenance, so they took the initiative to replace it with another cruise ship and upgraded it to a royal suite for free. It has a 270-degree panoramic balcony, a separate spa bathtub, and is located on the top floor of the cruise ship. We will not be disturbed by others. After boarding, the service staff guided us to the room and handed us the itinerary for the next three days. Lunch was on the boat While enjoying the buffet, we also set sail. Halong Bay is listed as a World Heritage Site. The unique karst topography has formed the world's unique and magnificent sea erosion karst landforms under the interactive erosion of rain and sea water. The Surprise Cave and Ti-top Island we visited in the afternoon are must-see attractions in Halong Bay. There are breathtaking stalactite caves with various stalactites, stalagmites and stalactite columns in the cave, which is like walking into a natural art gallery. Ti-top Island has a natural beach where you can play in the water, or challenge yourself by climbing to the pavilion on the top of the mountain at an altitude of 80 meters to overlook the scenery of Halong Bay and various types of cruise ships anchored in the bay. Let’s end today with the beautiful sunset in Halong Bay! This is our second day in North Vietnam. Please follow our steps and come and see this beautiful world together!

#FebruaryGoodDestinations2025 #VietnamHalongBay #HalongBay Vietnam has always been a popular choice for Chinese people to take short trips, and **Ha Long Bay** in the north is always among the top choices. Thanks to the uncanny craftsmanship of nature, Halong Bay has earned the reputation of being one of the "New Seven Wonders of Nature in the World". During the trip to Halong Bay, tourists can take various cruise ships and wooden boats to visit classic attractions such as the Wonderful Cave and Hero Island; while for attractions like the Tianjing Cave, you need to take a hand-rowed wooden boat or speedboat to experience the magnificence of the strange rocks up close.

These natural wonders not only inspire our infinite imagination, but also make every traveler intoxicated with their unique charm.

When many students visited Halong Bay, Often choose to take a day trip from Hanoi. However, this type of itinerary can only provide a cursory visit to "Guilin on the Sea". The rushed itinerary makes it difficult to have a deep experience. If you want to truly appreciate the charm of Halong Bay, It is recommended to stay here overnight. Only then can you fully feel the flow of the twenty-four hours. ✅After getting up in the morning, it is recommended to go to Halong Market.

Here you can find a variety of tropical fruits, seasonal vegetables, fragrant bouquets and authentic snacks. There are many old noodle soup shops around.

Halong Bay International Terminal, This artistic landmark on the Southeast Asian cruise map, Whether you set sail here to explore the karst secrets of "Guilin on the Sea", Or you can stop and transfer with an international cruise ship. They are all destined to be immersed in a design dialogue that transcends time and space. Passing through the majestic bronze sculpture of waves in the waiting hall, Everywhere you look is a montage of theatre carefully choreographed by Bill Bensley ——The rusty cast iron columns and 19th century chandeliers cast mottled light and shadows, The geometric mosaic floor tiles extend to the end of the field of vision with the texture of faded ship decks. The dome is made of faded sail-like blocks of color. It's like a steam cruise ship that has been stranded for a hundred years. As a hotel lover who is well versed in Bill Bensley's design codes, I have captured so many familiar yet unfamiliar design themes here: The curved wall in the rear ship hall depicts the murals of the Age of Discovery. It is similar to the island narrative of Capella Ubud in Bali; The lamps in Cherry Coffee are made from antique marine instruments. reminiscent of the industrial archeology of The Siam Hotel in Bangkok; The wooden brown color of the pier's exterior resonates with the rocks of Halong Bay. It also echoes the French Indochina style of JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay. The designer turned the investment of 1.1 trillion VND into poetry. Let the historical genes of the 19th century shipyard be deconstructed and reorganized in the contemporary era. The best thing is the symbiosis of function and aesthetics: A floating dock system that can accommodate 300 cruise ships. Its ocean-blue coating blends seamlessly into the natural rock face; The green tree corridor surrounded by the fountain platform in the waiting area, It is a smart response to the tropical climate. It also coincides with the colonial aesthetic imagery in the movie "Indochina". When I touched the bronze handrail engraved with ancient ship patterns, Suddenly I realized the magic of Bill Bensley - he can always transform transportation hubs into cultural containers. Turn the time of waiting into a collection-level experience. This design work was accidentally unlocked. It is like a time capsule embedded in the Beibu Gulf.

Hanoi Halong Bay Food Exploration Tour🥰 Hanoi is a great place to relax, enjoy food and sightseeing. I took a one-day tour of Halong Bay, explored the mountains, waters and caves, and met a group of Taiwanese friends and crazy Indians😂 French bread, rice noodles and coffee are of course not to be missed. In fact, there are many more delicious foods worth exploring in Vietnam! I got close to the train and thought I was back to the mainland of China😅 It’s a pity that I didn’t have time to share it immediately, so I can only recall it through photos. The joy was not as beautiful as it was at that time🥹 Hanoi is a place that the minister will visit again. There are so many delicious foods🤣 I hope to share it again when I have time😋 The soundtrack is a Japanese song I like very much, Greeeen’s Miracle🤩 #food #Hanoi #Halong Bay #Vietnam #vietnam #French baguette #Pho #hanoi #Kumamon #Miyazaki dog #Blue fur #Minister #Foodie #Travel #French cuisine #202310 #Fearless of changes in the world #Hong Kong

Before climbing the mountain to Hero Island, take a quick photo with the green lake and the boats moored in the garden 📸👍 The next itinerary was to explore the stalactite cave.

❤️‍🔥2 days and 1 nights to enjoy the world❤️‍🔥 There are many yachts to choose from in Halong Bay in Vietnam, so I chose one of them to try😆😆 In fact, the interior decoration is OK, the appearance looks quite beautiful and comfortable, mainly when the boat just start the boat will be a little seasick, but when the boat stops ok ❤️ 🔥 This time mainly introduce the interior of Aspira Cruises yacht, this time live on the 2nd floor, and then go to the restaurant to eat is quite good ❤️ 🔥 later update ❤️ There is a small heart-shaped swimming pool on the top floor. If you don't play canoeing, you can go up and swim 🤣 Overall, it's good but not cheap, thousands or 2 thousand dollars HKD🫠 However, maybe the holidays will be more expensive, if you go to see which cheaper try it ❤️ 🔥 #HalongBay #HalongBayYacht #Vietnam

😍#HalongBay This time I went to Hanoi for a trip, and the main reason I wanted to go to Halong Bay was because the most convenient thing was to join a two-day and one-night small cruise. This time I chose the three-star Phoenix, which was simple and only cost about HK$800 per person, and it included pick-up from Hanoi to Halong Bay, three meals and three shore excursions. Both of these itineraries required considerable physical strength, and walking up hundreds of stairs is not a trivial matter, but the higher you stand, the farther you can see, so standing on a high place, you can see the beautiful and pleasant scenery, which is very worthwhile.

I joined a tour group to Halong Bay and today I was scheduled to stay at the "Moon Hotel". I searched very little information about it online before departure, so I wanted to share my experience with my Trip partners. This is a "cheap" hotel... maybe 3 stars. The hotel's hardware facilities are old-fashioned but bright and clean. Since we were joining an economical tour group, we were not picky about the hotel we stayed in. The hotel still has basic facilities ~ simple gym and outdoor swimming pool The rooms are big and small, and the most recommended one is the "three-bed room"... This time there happened to be a family of three staying in the same room, and they felt comfortable sleeping. The hotel is very close to the Halong Park Ferris Wheel and Halong Bay Sun World Theme Park. Currently, most of the guests are tour groups, and there are few independent travelers. Share this with everyone so that you can have a clearer understanding when you are traveling and arranging accommodation.

When I first saw that the itinerary included a buffet on the ship during this trip, I originally thought it would just be a simple local-style meal, but I didn’t expect a surprise. Quickly record it and share it with your Trip friends. The restaurant on the ship is actually quite large and has a wide variety of dishes. In addition to Japanese/Western/Chinese food, of course there are also local Vietnamese flavors, desserts and fried food... The dishes are really thoughtful. When you go to an island country, everyone will definitely think of "seafood". The dishes include wind snails/sweet shrimps and scallops. Under such conditions, they are full of sincerity. The most authentic thing to do in Vietnam is to eat unique desserts...so the whole group made their own special bowl of "Mo Mo Zha Zha" to make END. When checking the itinerary, I found that many groups have arranged this meal~ It's really a leisurely trip to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sea while dining. I hope this sharing can help you eliminate your doubts🤣 #cruisetourism #parent-child good place #familytravel #overseas travel #hot summer good place #Buffet Guide #Vietnam #Halong Bay

2️⃣ 恒星索（Amazing Cave） Probably one of the largest and most beautiful caves in Hanoi “You can see if you believe~” the tour guide brother’s description of this cave before setting off He stated that there are lions, tigers and elephants inside but the premise is that we have to be imaginative enough LOL But indeed entering will really be more than the creation of nature shocked beautiful to think you can enjoy a day inside 🥹 As I walked, I wondered what this place was like when it was in the water. ! If I were the marine life that lived there 🐠🐡🐋🐙 this home would be too grand ! #Vietnam #Hanoi #Halong Bay

Take advantage of the Lunar New Year holiday to take a flash trip to Vietnam ✈️ Halong Bay two days and one night everything was better than imagined full of itineraries & surprises 1️⃣ Titop Island (stay left for about 1.5h) - 登山（450级台阶；110米高） - Chill at the beach If the weather is good the view should be even more beautiful! Next time I come, I have to be there to watch the sunset #Vietnam #Hanoi #Halong Bay

Super comfortable, beautiful view, large balcony, cheap and convenient #HalongBay

When you come to Halong Bay and take a boat to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the harbor, it is highly recommended to take the Queen Double-Decker Cable Car to experience the beauty of Halong Bay from a different angle. The Queen Cable Car began operation in 2016 and set the Guinness World Record for the world's largest open-air double-decker cable car. The upper and lower levels can accommodate 230 people in total. It runs from Bai Chay in Halong Bay City to Hon Gai Island where the Ferris wheel is located. Along the way, you can overlook the Bai Chay Bridge and Halong Bay with a 360-degree view. If you want to see a wider view, please stand at the head and tail of the cable car. There are a few seats in the car. We always sit on the upper deck when we go there, and I think the scenery between the upper and lower decks should not be much different. It is highly recommended to come here in the evening so that you can enjoy the beautiful view of the sun setting slowly. On the return cable car, remember to take the side close to the Ferris wheel. The colorful lights of the Ferris wheel at night and the Baizhai Bridge with purple lights on add a bit of romance to the atmosphere. #MarchGoodDestinations2025 #HalongBay #VietnamCheckIn #CableCar

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 #Vietnam #HalongBay Titop Island is a must-stop for cruises in Halong Bay You can choose to climb 400 steps to the top or stay on the beach to play in the water. Of course we chose to climb to the top. The stairs were very narrow and there were ropes next to them for support. But there are so many tourists that the stairs are even more crowded. After climbing 200 steps, there is an observation deck where you can take panoramic photos of Longwan. People with poor physical strength can just stay here Those who are able can climb to the top pavilion for a better view.

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 #Vietnam #HalongBay The Surprise Cave is the largest stalactite cave in Halong Bay, Vietnam.

It's so beautiful🥰 There are about 600 steps from the cave to the exit, and the ground is not very flat. Elderly people should pay special attention when walking ⚠️ There are 3 caves in total, the 3rd one is the largest cave Various strange stalactites, stalagmites and stone pillars make people marvel Photos really can't express his magnificence. You must go there in person to feel the magic of nature
