Rich drip coffee, delicious beef pho and slim Vietnamese girls, thin buildings, thin people,

The Southeast Asian atmosphere with sunshine and warmth is blended with the elegance of the former French colony.

Vietnam attracts travelers to stop by with its unique mixed-race style.

We are about to reveal these hidden tricks to see how travel experts enjoy Vietnam!

Saigon, the City of Fusion

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam's largest city, is steeped in French tradition, earning it the nickname "Little Paris of the East," though some prefer to call it "Saigon." Despite its rapid development, it lacks the bustle of other metropolises, retaining a uniquely Vietnamese sense of leisure and romance. The French legacy extends beyond French bread, French architecture, and French plane trees to a distinctly French ambiance. Strolling through the exquisite houses and watching the sunlight filter through the plane trees, you'll feel like you've arrived in a small French town.

①The secret of a girl's overflowing heart

▶ Check in at the most beautiful pink cathedral

The Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral is a Roman Catholic church located in District 3, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It belongs to the Archdiocese of Ho Chi Minh City and was built during the French colonial period in the early 20th century. It is the second largest church in Ho Chi Minh City, second only to the Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral in District 1. Even if you've visited countless churches in Europe, the first sight of this cathedral will still astound you. The entire church is a dreamy pink. The sacred and solemn religion becomes softer here, and the dazzling color under the sunlight captivates you.

② Southeast Asian water village customs

▶ Tour the Mekong Delta

The Mekong River is known as the Cuu Long River in Vietnamese, and the fertile land through which it flows is also known as the Cuu Long River Plain. The Cuu Long River Plain is Vietnam's largest rice-producing region, a major granary, a vast orchard, and a fishing ground. A visit here offers a profound experience of its beauty, richness, and unique cultural heritage. Ben Tre, located approximately 100 kilometers south of Ho Chi Minh City, is the home of coconuts, a symbol of the islands. Ben Tre's specialty is coconut candy, a specialty produced in nearly every household. Visitors can also visit a coconut candy factory and participate in its production, making it a wonderful gift for friends.


Romantic City Dalat

Da Lat, a small mountain town in Vietnam, offers fresh air, a comfortable environment, and colorful architecture. It blends the unique charm of the East with the romantic charm of France. Standing at 1,500 meters above sea level, it is surrounded by pine forests, lakes, and waterfalls. With an average annual temperature of around 20°C and flowers blooming year-round, it is a rare summer resort in Vietnam. Romantic French-style villas dot the pine-lined hillsides, adorned with church spires, and colorful houses nestled among the flowers, you could mistakenly believe you've stumbled into a small town in France.

③Alice in Wonderland

▶ The whimsical ideas of Dalat Crazy House

In the artistic town of Da Lat, Crazy House is a fusion of art and creativity! Originally a hotel, it was designed by the daughter of Vietnam's former president. Resembling a withered tree, Crazy House invites you to rediscover your childhood innocence. Its quirky design and enchanting scenery create a fairytale-like atmosphere. You can perch in a giraffe's belly or weave through a giant spider web, immersing yourself in Alice's magical world.

④ French sentiment of turning back time

▶ The most beautiful old Dalat railway station in Vietnam

Da Lat's Old Railway Station is undoubtedly a prime photo spot. Designed in 1932 by French architects Moncet and Reveron, its striking orange and yellow colors, three peaked roofs rising in the center, and stained glass windows evoke a retro, exotic feel. Several vintage carriages and steam locomotives remain within the station, offering visitors a chance to admire and photograph them. It's a must-see for locals taking wedding photos and is considered Vietnam's most beautiful train station. The train still operates, with five daily departures to a nearby town. If you're not in a rush, enjoy a traditional steam train ride along, enjoying the sunshine and breeze.

Mui Ne, the dynamic city

Half ocean, half desert, nature has endowed it with the world's two most extreme beauties. Once a small fishing village on the Mui Ne Peninsula in Binh Thuan Province in southeastern Vietnam, it has now become a renowned Vietnamese seaside resort. Its long coastline, bustling fishing villages, and coconut palm breezes and waves are the very scenery everyone dreams of. In Mui Ne, you can enjoy fresh seafood daily, stunning sunsets, and exciting marine activities. And with affordable prices, Mui Ne makes vacation dreams more accessible than anywhere else.

⑤Half sea water and half desert

▶ Chase the sunset on a quad bike

Mui Ne's most captivating attractions are its vast sand dunes—white and red—and the unique red streams formed by the karst formations. The white dunes are even more spectacular than the red ones, offering a true desert experience. Deep within the desert lie freshwater lakes, flanked by tall, deep tropical jungle vegetation. Sand dunes embrace the emerald lakes and verdant trees. Here, you can ride a 4x4 or off-road jeep through the dunes and experience the desert's charm. Mui Ne is bordered by the sea on one side and the desert on the other, layer upon layer, creating a myriad of colors. Sit on a high vantage point and watch the sunset slowly sink into the west; the atmosphere is incredibly romantic.

⑥Unique water sports

▶ Mui Ne Kiteboarding Center

Ocean sports are another specialty of Mui Ne. Due to its unique geography and wind conditions, it has become a world-renowned windsurfing hub. Today, Mui Ne is Vietnam's most tropical destination. Sit by the beach in the evening and watch countless surfers and paragliders soar through the sky. Kitesurfing is practised on the seashore, creating a captivating experience. There are numerous surf clubs, as well as specialized schools and instructors offering kiteboarding lessons. Kitesurfing is a common sight in the afternoon, when the wind blows. Watch the surfers show off their skills on the beach – just have your camera ready!

Nha Trang, the city of leisure

Nha Trang, located on Vietnam's southeastern coast, is a renowned coastal city. It boasts some of Vietnam's finest beaches, stretching for kilometers, and is a prime diving destination. Furthermore, it offers the cheapest fresh lobster in Southeast Asia, making it a true foodie paradise. Today, it has become a world-renowned resort offering leisure, entertainment, sports, and hot springs. Its pleasant climate and the rich bromine and iodine in its seawater, which promote blood circulation, have attracted a growing number of visitors. Popular attractions include the Nha Trang Four Islands tour and its unique mud baths, allowing visitors to fully experience the charm of this coastal city.

⑦The longest cross-sea cable car in Southeast Asia

▶ Pearl Island Paradise is a great place to have fun

Vinpearl Land, located in a resort on Bamboo Island in Nha Trang, is known as Vietnam's answer to Disneyland and is widely considered one of Vietnam's top family destinations. Combining an amusement park, water park, and oceanarium, Vinpearl Land boasts a wide range of attractions, including roller coasters, carousels, pirate ships, swings, and a large indoor arcade. The oceanarium features over 300 species of marine life, and the highlight is the mermaid show, showcasing their captivating postures, movements, and expressions. The water park boasts six thrilling 15-meter-high slides, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding scenery.

⑧Same experience as "Running Man"

▶ Mineral mud bath for a clean skin

Mud baths, also known as hot mineral mud baths, use mud, either at its natural temperature or after heating, as a medium. The mud is applied to specific parts of the body, transferring heat to the skin. This heat, combined with the chemical components and microorganisms within, promotes well-being and prevents disease. As early as the 2nd century AD, ancient Egyptians used mud from the Nile River to treat arthritis. Mud therapy is also mentioned in the Jin Dynasty medical text "Zuo Hou Fang" and the Tang Dynasty medical book "Qian Jin Fang." Nha Trang's abundant geothermal and mineral mud resources have spawned the development of mud baths as a recreational activity. Today, Nha Trang's mud baths are renowned both in Vietnam and abroad. Visitors to Nha Trang often skip seafood for a mud bath at a hot spring center.
