    "Went to the desert in Mui Ne, drove ATV and visited the fairy stream. was a great and interesting visit and lots of adventures. I recommend."
    Phan Thiet
    >100km from Ho Chi Minh City
    Highlights: Located between Ho Chi Minh City and Nha Trang, Mui Ne is a charming town with half desert and half sea, beautiful scenery and warm climate. Formerly Mui Ne was a fishing village whose main source of income was the production of fish sauce. Now, Mui Ne is a well-known seaside resort in Vietnam. More and more hotels and other resort facilities are emerging here in recent years. Fortunately, it still retains the slow pace of life and charming style. In Mui Ne, lying on a lounger, blowing the sea breeze and listening to the sound of the waves, you can also take part in the thrilling windsurfing, or go to the red sand dunes, white sand dunes, and watch the intoxicating sunset, which will make people feel more happy. In addition, there is also the Fairy Stream hidden in the dense woods, which is also very surprising.

    "amazing experience. we went early in the morning right after opening and wandered around for maybe an hour. we took plenty of pictures and loved the room which looks like an aquarium a lot!"
    Dalat
    >100km from Ho Chi Minh City
    Highlights: The Crazy House can be said to be the most famous building in Da Lat. Its exaggerated and bizarre shape is similar to the style of the Spanish architectural genius Gaudi, and it integrates the characteristics of Da Lat's pleasant natural environment in all seasons. Visiting the crazy house, tourists can walk among the towering "dead trees", rest in the belly of a "giraffe", or get lost in a huge "spider web", just like Alice in Wonderland. The Mad House is actually a hotel, designed by celebrities. The glass skylight in the top-floor room is set directly above the bed, and you can look up at the stars at night. All rooms have water and electricity, but you can't see a single water pipe or wire. These all reflect the designer's ingenious thinking. Except for the occupied rooms, which are locked, all other rooms are open to visitors. It is said that the crazy house is expanding every year, like a growing castle, attracting many tourists. The appearance of the crazy house resembles a dead and rotten tree. Entering through the huge tree hole and stepping on the stairs of wooden stakes, there are rooms with different styles one after another, each with different themes. The location, orientation, height, shape, or the decoration, furnishings and furniture in the house are all amazing. In the guest room of the crazy house, the hand-painted design of the crazy house can be seen in the small room at the entrance, and in the front garden, all kinds of real and fake trees are connected with strange buildings, which is dazzling. The stairs connecting different rooms are also up and down and unpredictable, which makes people novel. The spider-themed room is topped by a cobweb-shaped glass skylight, while in the Eagle Room, Tiger Room, and Bear Room, you can see decorations or furniture with these animal elements, such as doors and windows, fireplaces, pillows, etc. What the "animals" are used for is also not a lot of fun. There is also an outdoor staircase that is elevated on the roof, which is very exciting to walk and overlooks the crazy house and the surrounding environment. Souvenir Shop There is a souvenir shop near the exit of the crazy house. The spider web-shaped door curtain has the feeling of a wire hole, which is very interesting. There are handmade fabrics, ceramic dolls and other small things, and even Vietnamese girls can be seen spinning fabrics on the spot.

    "if you are interested to the culture of Vietnam, mekong delta is a place you must visit, amazing trip to visit can tho and my tho, and spend time on the mekong River cruise and floating market is also one of the important part to know more about the local market."
    Can Tho
    >100km from Ho Chi Minh City
    Highlights: The main stream of the Mekong River is 4,880 kilometers long. It is a very important transnational water system in Asia and the sixth largest river in the world. It flows through China, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, and flows into the South China Sea in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The lower Mekong delta is in Vietnam, which Vietnam calls the Kowloon River, with a total length of 2,139 kilometers. There is no traffic jam in the Mekong Delta, no imposing buildings, all you can have here is the experience of pacing back and forth on this piece of Mekong River. Moreover, the natural environment here is very well protected, and the delta terrain is well protected, which is very rare. You can take a bamboo raft and row slowly in the depths of the river covered by the dense forest, which is endlessly fun.
