| Always Happy to Keep Playing in Vietnam | Sleeping Amidst a World Heritage Site: Halong Bay Bhaya Cruises Online Booking Tutorial

2017-07-10

Before actually arriving at Halong Bay, I only thought it was probably just a famous, inevitably touristy place. After all, many World Heritage Sites these days are just properties that have been moved here to earn money, so I didn't want to expect too much. But unexpectedly, during those three days and two nights in Halong Bay, I finally truly understood that Halong Bay's beauty is beyond question, worthy of its World Heritage status! This cruise booking website still hasn't improved and doesn't have a Chinese version to this day, so I'm happy to write something immediately to help more readers experience its splendor with fewer barriers.

Sapa—and the rest of the places I visited in Vietnam on this trip—turned out to be far more fascinating than I had expected. It was my first time in this wonderful corner of the world, and only after arriving did I realize just how closely you can experience the everyday lives of its ethnic minority communities and peek behind the veil of a culture that had always seemed so mysterious to me. What an unexpected delight—I was absolutely thrilled!

| Vietnam, I’d Happily Keep Coming Back | Flying Vietnam Airlines to Hanoi and Experiencing the Unique Flavour of Hanoi Airport (Plus an Airport Transportation Guide)

2015-01-16

Two years! It had been two whole years since I last flew with Vietnam Airlines—but is Vietnam Airlines still the one of my dreams? This trip to Hanoi was semi-independent, which gave me the chance to learn about the various ways of getting to and from Hanoi Airport, as well as take a closer look at its rather “unique” duty-free shops. I’ll share it all in this post, with nothing held back. (Now this is starting to sound like a proper travelogue! Not that I’ve ever aimed for proper.)

| I’d Rather Keep Exploring Vietnam | From Mountain Peaks to the Coast: A 9-Day Itinerary Covering Northern Vietnam’s Most Beautiful Destinations (Sapa, Ninh Binh, Hanoi, and Ha Long Bay)

2014-12-14

The highlights of my nine-day Vietnam trip, all in one post—a complete guide to the best things to see and do in Northern Vietnam. Over nine days, I visited the region’s most famous and beautiful destinations: the ethnic minority mountain town of Sapa, Hanoi, the breathtaking Ha Long Bay, and Ninh Binh, known as “Ha Long Bay on Land.” From mountain peaks to the coast, I packed an incredible variety of scenery into just nine days—and completely shattered my old impression of the country: “Who knew Vietnam could be this romantic?”

| Check Out My Europe-Bound Legs | Hanoi, Vietnam, Made Me Cry Out, “Taiwanese Drivers, You’ve Been Totally Outclassed”

2013-01-31

Thanks to Vietnam Airlines’ “Making the Dream of Europe-Bound Legs Less Difficult” campaign, I had the chance to enjoy a free whirlwind tour of downtown Hanoi for a few hours during my layover en route to Europe—and broaden this islander’s horizons while I was at it. I used to think Taiwanese people had to be the world’s undisputed masters of traffic. Every one of us could weave effortlessly through a sea of vehicles while casually picking our nose, and if you could cross the street in Taiwan, you could do it anywhere. But the moment I set foot in Hanoi, Vietnam, I immediately felt an overwhelming aura of road-going prowess that put us all to shame. When visiting Hanoi, protecting your life matters more than protecting your wallet. Don’t worry too much about your money being stolen—but you should definitely get plenty of accident insurance!

I soared 30,000 feet into the sky, bound for Paris, 9.8 million metres from Taiwan. The long 15-hour flight was an unavoidable prelude to an incredible journey, giving my anticipation time to ferment into a uniquely sweet-and-sour flavour. Like apple cider vinegar, the restless wait mingled with my eagerness for new adventures, brewing up a certain kind of travel romance. And the delightfully friendly Vietnam Airlines fare was just... ta-da! Less than NT$30,000! Vietnam Airlines is still the top choice for anyone with plenty of time but not much money who also fancies a quick peek at a Vietnamese city along the way~
