Green Restaurant Review

⭐Green Restaurant📍Nam xong river南松河东畔📝又黑又慢的河景餐厅黑是因为餐桌上只有烛台慢是常态收桌子、要菜单叫了几遍后还得自己动手不过好在盲点的几款都还不错鸡肉炒饭、猪肉Khaopun（酸甜椰浆粉）、OH LAM（lao stew）、薄荷姜汁都还行隔壁桌的披萨也很香

We arrived in Vangrong the night before and saw quite a lot of foreigners. We came back the next afternoon. The hotel is a little off the beaten track, but it faces the Nansong River. We ordered a red wine grilled steak, which was too well-cooked. A pineapple fried rice was good, as was a vegetable salad. Overall, I recommend it.

In Vangrong, there is a sunset that you cannot miss, and that is at Green Restrant. In order to occupy the best viewing point, I rushed to the restaurant early. The afternoon sun was scorching and the air was filled with a warm breath, but when I thought of the beautiful scenery I was about to see, I felt that the wait was particularly worthwhile. At sunset, you can see the colorful paragliders in the sky like smart birds, and the slowly floating hot air balloons complement each other, adding a bit of liveliness and romance to the clear blue sky. As for the food, the restaurant offers a fusion of local characteristics and international flavors. Take a bite, the unfamiliar taste is full of novel surprises. Although it is not a top delicacy, every bite becomes particularly delicious with such a beautiful scenery. As the sun gradually sets, the sky is dyed orange-red, and everything in front of you is coated with a layer of gentle filter. Here, time seems to slow down, leaving only beautiful scenery, food and inner peace. If you come to Vangrong, you must come here for a date with the sunset💕 #Vangrong Food #Vangrong Sunset #Travel Check-in

Others' Vangrong: an outdoor paradise My Vangrong: eating, drinking and watching others play Vangrong is a very magical place. It was a small county town in China in the 1980s. The most convenient way to get in and out was by tuktuk, which was dusty. But Vangrong also has many "paradise", which is not like a place at all. 🥭If you are on vacation with your parents, you can do this 🎈Watch the hot air balloon take off The take-off in the afternoon is more than 5 o'clock, dinner time, so the two places I chose are restaurants. Green restaurant The restaurant next to Pullmind cafe, the camera position is similar but the outdoor terrace is larger. There are many kinds of dishes, and the unit price is basically around 10 yuan, which is good value for money. Watching the sunset is also good. ViengTara Resort A very famous rice field resort hotel, there are only 8 straw houses, and it is hard to find a room. But you can go in and take pictures if you book dinner. The scenery is super beautiful under the sunset, and you can also take pictures of hot air balloons, and the angle for taking pictures is better when it takes off, but you can't see the sunset because it is blocked by the woods. For dinner, Lao barbecue hotpot is recommended, which is about 150 RMB. It is very filling for 3 people (except for those with large appetites). The milkshake is very delicious but not cheap, about 30 RMB. 🎈Go to the Blue Leakage Lake to play in the water There are many beautiful lagoons in Vangrong where you can play in the water. My parents and I went to the 2nd and 3rd lagoons. 3rd lagoon It is relatively far away, the lake water is green, there is a zip line, and there are more Europeans, Americans and Koreans who come to play. There are thatched houses and wooden seats around, with food and drinks, and even instant noodles, but the overall facilities are average. After 11:30, there is basically no sunshine in the lagoon, and it will be a bit cold, so it is recommended to go early for 3rd lagoon. There are also caves in 3rd lagoon. It will be a bit difficult to climb the mountain by taking the wild road. You can borrow a headlamp at the counter, which takes half an hour to 1 hour one way. 2nd lagoon It is more like a big park, with a very good environment. The lagoon is the largest, and the blue water surface is a bit like a mini Jiuzhaigou. There are restaurants and coffee shops. There are many foreigners who go to sunbathe in the afternoon. There is high diving. Tickets are 20,000 kip/person If you can only go to one, it is recommended to go to the No. 2 leaking lake (there are too many tour groups on the No. 1 lake) The No. 1-3 leaking lakes are in the same direction. The road conditions to the leaking lakes are not very good. There is a lot of dust. Remember to wear a mask. If you are not afraid of noise, you can rent a kart and drive there by yourself. It is very cool. 🎈Massage There are massage shops all over the street, and the prices are similar. The best environment is Riverside Sala Spa, the spa of Nansong Riverside Hotel, but there may be no seats without reservation. There is a Utopia Message on the main street. It is very large and clean with a good environment. Foot massage (actually more like a leg massage) is 8 US dollars/hour (176,000 kip), which is a bit expensive, but there is a separate compartment and pajamas to change.

👍️Recommendation reason: In addition to playing in the water and flying in the jungle, Vangrong can also spend a day walking slowly. Along the way, there are colorful butterflies dancing, and you can immerse yourself in the local scenery and life. Passing by hospitals, schools, shops, and houses, it is my favorite life full of fireworks. Under the beautiful foothills, villagers are planting rice, and children are also sensible to participate. Dragonflies are gently jumping in the rice fields. There are a variety of outdoor activities, such as Kayaking, paragliding, karting, etc. 📅Play guide: 1. Lagoon: Lagoon 1 is heavily commercialized, but it is convenient to eat and drink. You can stare at the fish or watch Koreans line up for diving; Lagoon 4 is wilder and the journey is long. It takes about 30 minutes to walk after getting off the bus. There are few people and the water is not clear. Lagoon No. 9 is a blue lagoon, formed by natural mountain spring water flowing down, with cool water and few people. 💧 2. Kayaking: I like it very much. The water level rises high and the flow rate is fast during the rainy season. Friends who paddle alone should pay attention to follow the guide and get close to the shore in advance when the boat stops. 🚣 3. Paragliding: I thought it was very exciting, but it was actually very stable. The scenery at high altitude is super beautiful, and you can overlook the town of Vangrong. 🪂 4. Karting: You need to have a basic driving experience. The road conditions are poor and there are many potholes on the road. Pay attention to controlling the speed and safety first. 🏎️ 5. Hiking: If you like the scenery of rice fields and love walking, you can hike to Nam Xay and Lagoon 1. It is about 17km round trip. There are gorgeous butterflies along the way, and you can immerse yourself in the local scenery and life. 🦋 6. Lagoon 1: You can play the 5-meter platform and jungle jump. The mountain road to the cave is steep and slippery. 🧗‍♂️ 7. Nam Xay Viewpoint: Although it is only more than 300 meters, it is not recommended to go there after the rain, as it is slippery and frustrating. 😣 🏨Accommodation tips: The service of Intira Hotel is bad. The front desk check-in is slow, the air conditioner in the room is loud, the hot water is supplied by the electric water heater and it runs out after a while, the hotel does not have free mineral water, and the mini bar is charged and much more expensive than outside. 😒 You can refer to the information and reviews published by Ctrip Travel Network to book a hotel or homestay. 🍺Local food recommendations: 🔶Happy Mango's mango sticky rice is delicious, and other dishes are not cost-effective; 🔶The juice shop opposite Mini BigC is 15,000 yuan, which is the cheapest and has a lot of choices in Vangrong. 🍹 A restaurant with a strong Laotian flavor: 🔶khopchaideo restaurant 🔶Green Restaurant: Recommended dishes include grilled spare ribs, beef noodles, pork khaopun and ohlam. 💗Other tips: 1. Transportation: You can take a train from Luang Prabang to Vangrong; you can take a tuktuk from Vangrong Railway Station to the city, which costs 3w; you can take a minivan from Vangrong to Vientiane at 9am, which costs 13w and takes 2 hours. You can pick up at your door, and you can book it at many places on the main road of Vangrong. The best way to travel to Vangrong is by motorcycle or electric car. There are also bicycles or karts for rent. 🚗 2. Currency exchange: Vangrong currency exchange is 1:3500, which is not as cost-effective as Luang Prabang. 💱 3. Stay in Vangrong for three days. It is more backward than Luang Prabang, and the infrastructure is very poor, but Europeans, Americans and Koreans like it very much. 😃#Play Outdoors #Relaxation Places #Local Food #Travel with Cute Kids #Couple Travel
