Explore Phu Quoc Island & Ho Chi Minh: Ultimate Vietnam Travel Log📝
During the Qingming holiday, I arranged a five-day trip to Vietnam ~ all land transportation was done using Grab, and local car services do not accept Alipay, but you can bind a Visa card.
✅ Day 1: Departed from Shanghai 🛫 to Ho Chi Minh City 🛫 to Phu Quoc Island in the early morning, arrived at the Regent Phu Quoc in the afternoon, wandered around the hotel for half a day, and had a delicious steak at the hotel restaurant in the evening ~
✅ Day 2: Set off at 9:30 to join the hotel’s coastline cruise, booked in advance via email with the hotel, basically 1V1 service, experienced paddleboarding and sea fishing, included lunch box and drinks 🍸🍺🍹
Returned to the hotel around 1 pm after eating, rested for a while, and went to On The Rock.
To be honest, if you don’t have a strong desire, really don’t go, spent most of the time swatting flies during the meal, hastily finished eating and took photos before leaving, cannot compare with the Rock in Bali [embarrassed][embarrassed] (personal feeling, no offense intended)
In the evening, got a foot massage in King Kong town, the foot massage cost 250,000 VND ~ walked around King Kong Mart
✅ Day 3: First went to JW Hotel to check it out, didn’t choose JW when selecting the hotel, just wanted to see it, completely different style from the Regent. JW is located in Emerald Bay on the southwestern part of Phu Quoc Island, this beach is famous for its fine white sand and clear water, once rated by Forbes as “one of the most beautiful beaches in Vietnam.
” The hotel was formerly a French colonial school, after renovation, it retained the academic style, vintage libraries, blackboards, and laboratory elements can be seen everywhere, full of literary and whimsical atmosphere. If asked which one is better, I really can’t choose, both are worth experiencing ~
Took a taxi from JW to Sunset Town, must experience the cross-sea cable car, Guinness record nearly 8 kilometers, one way 25 minutes ~ bought tickets at the window including water park and Kiss Bridge, can also buy on Meituan, operating hours 9:00-11:30, 13:30-17:00, fireworks are set off in the town every day, when we went, it coincided with the former president of Laos’ state funeral, so there were no fireworks, also a regret of the journey ~
✅ Day 4 In the morning, took the 10:50 flight to Ho Chi Minh City, stayed at the Wink Hotel Saigon Centre, right next to a coffee building, also considered a CBD.
The hotel decoration is very distinctive, but the room had a heavy moldy smell [laugh-cry] Went up to the tallest building, ate at a noodle shop popular among Chinese people.
✅ Day 5 After eating the noodles, went to the airport, still had to queue, only finished security check when boarding [laugh-cry]
