Vietnam Travel Guide

The Cho Benh Thanh market is just beside our hotel , the Liberty Central.So everyday if we have free time , we would kill our time in here.We found this market interesting, as well as other markets in every countries we visited. This market is huge,hot,humid, with so many vendors and stores you can imagine, selling everything from clothing , foods,...

This is a beautiful clothing store, Clothes have many colors, and strange style, but beautiful and impressive. The shop has a special combination, not only has clothes, but also has a nail corner, and a reading space. The perfect nail services. I love this place :)

It is located in the centre of Ba Dinh Square, which is the place where Vietminh leader Ho Chi Minh, Chairman of the Communist Party of Vietnam from 1951 until his death in 1969, read the Declaration of Independence on 2 September 1945, establishing the Democratic Republic of Vietnam.

I guess i'm in the luck making the right decision leading my group of 40 pax opt not going to this restaurant at the end of Hanoi-Ha Long Bay visit. We're heading to airport unexpectedly early (something fishy) and no thanks to the local tour guide keep bragging about this 200 yrs. old restaurant serving Cha Ca fish trying to convince us to lunch...

Simon The Tailor is the family tailor running business. I can not say enough about the owner of this shop - Mrs Lang who is friendly and has a good experience in suit and shirt made. She understood my needs and gave me honest advise to make me in good looking with her suit. When working with her, I felt that i am home with mum. The quality they...

You guys usually hear about Nha Trang but hardly hear about Binh Ba island. Binh Ba is near Cam Ranh (Khanh Hoa Province), about 60 km far away from Nha Trang. Getting Binh Ba is very easy. Taking flight to Cam Ranh International Airport from Ha Noi, Da Nang or HCM city, then take car to Da Bac port. There are 2 boat rounds every day: From Cam Ranh...

At the pagoda, school girls will befriend you. As I had previously read about these girls, I immediately said I wasn't interested.There reply was ....they were not tour guides. Well, maybe not, but worse!After linking arms with me, and I thought, enjoying our time together, came the hard sell. They wanted me to buy silk paintings for 200,000dong...

Most people come to Sapa to do an organised trek through the wild and wonderful mountains near the town. This is certainly a must, so get yourself a guide and start trekking!There are several trails of different difficulty levels. None of them are suitable for people who have no experience in hiking - it goes up and down over rough and smooth...

This is the number one sight in (as opposed to around) Sapa: a small, not really spectacular waterfall approximately 1.5km away from the town centre. The hike down there, in its latter part with a hell lot of steps, provides you with some spectacular views of the mountains around the town, among them Phan Xi Pan, Vietnam's highest mountain (3143m)....

Thereare many ways to get Hue: - take flight to Phu Bai airport, 15km southeast of the city centre. - take train to the Hue Station, lies about 1,5km from the centre of town at the farwestern end of Le Loi, a boulevard running along the south bank of the Perfume River. Note that trains out of Hue get booked up, especially sleepers to HCM city and...

This circular "floating restaurant" is installed on the southern bank of the Perfume River near Le Loi ave. It looks gaudy on the outside, somewhat shaped like a lotus flower at bloom and it glows in transitional neon colours at night. It's a hit with the well-heeled locals as tables on the rooftop are already full by 7pm. There is a circular...

My suggestion is a two day one night cruise.Violet Cruises are indeed luxury, and on our trip which was May 2014, we had besides ourselves two additional couples and a guy travelling on his own making up a total of just seven guests. The whole trip for the two of us including collection and drop off for the two of us, was arranged by our hotel in...

On the steps leading to the market i enjoyed a beansprout type of pancake, and many more meals that i purchased from street stalls. The food was always cheap and delicious, but try to avoid the fresh leafy vegetables or try and ascertain that they have been washed properly.

On a Jeep, with a professional guide, he will know how to show you his country.And don't miss a chance to make a movie about amazing things you will visit on the road

On our recent trip to Phu Quoc, Vietnam we hired Jerry's Jungle Tours for a motorbike tour rather than a private car even though my wife and I had our kids with us, aged 9 and 12. I had the 12 year old on the back and my wife took the 9 year old. We told Jerry we wanted to go to off the beaten track to places that are hard to find. Towards the...

Itis agood alternative to the oveprized restaurants on Ap Ong Lang.It is run by a indignious family,suported by their Austrian fosterfather,who knows the island for 13 years.Their specialtiy is stuffed squids and whole steamed fish fresh drom the market.The prices are reasonable,eg.a bottle of Saigon beer 15.oo VND

Mui ne has a very nice sunrise :) I woke up 5am, get into my bathing suit and walk for 5 mins to the beach. There are few people in the morning so the beach is all yours! :)

This is the liveliest bar in Mui Ne. The performers are Filipinos and lots of their audience are foreigners. They perform any songs from Russian to Spanish to English to Tagalog songs. They dance to which gmakes the audience get up and dance as well. As you are

VUNG TAU ..Walking around the bay I found really relaxing . The walkway by the bay has stairways in different places giving access to the beach..This enables one to get a great view of what is going on.I spent some time here walking along the beach looking at the fishing boats..The variation of the different boats is an interest and to watch the...

VUNG TAU% After arriving in Vung Tau by hydrofoil Ferry from HCMC it was extremely hot and decided enjoy the sea breeze and walk by the bay. The bay had a gathering of the most colourful and varied lot of fishing boats. There were boats of all shapes and sizes. Located here by the bay I found a lovely park with nicely trimmed lawns and was...

Good restaurant, food is delicious, price acceptable and friendly service Snake with satay and crocodile steak

I stayed in a small boutique hotel on the edge of Can Tho. The staff were second to none and I was fortunate to meet Hieu who seemed to run the hotel from reception, staff training, guided tours, you name it, Hieu covered it.I don't usually book tours with a hotel, I generally prefer to do my own thing, but I was so impressed with Hieu, his local...

A day trip from Hanoi which was about 2 hour journey. Leave from Hanoi early morning and coming back late in afternoon. There are different day tours from Hanoi, and Tamcoc is in our list already. There are plenty of agency offer day tour to various place from Hanoi, you only need time for it. Prices are competing, so look around before made any...

Transport options from Ha Long Bay City to Ninh Binh directly are not very common unlike the more natural connection through Hanoi but they exist. If the cruise from Cat Ba or anywhere in Ha Long bay ends up in Ha Long City around noon there is a chance for a seamless connection. Any generous offers on behalf of tour guides for transfer to the bus...

Ha Long Bay... Well, it is definitely long and the story is similarly elongated. There is nothing to prepare you better for the realities of travel in Viet Nam as the posts on Tripadvisor. There the sections about the Ha Long bay cruising are filled with posts deleted by the moderators apparently for offensive language and other trespassing. Then...

The home stay option is not different from the cruise ship one in the sense that you would have been moored somewhere at night, it is not the Caribbean where the ship travels during the night to a distant island. At the same time the home stay exposes you to a polished up version of a fisherman’s life on the waters of the bay. The home is...
