The 2-day-1-night trip in Quang Binh was truly memorable. I recently learned about combining travel and trekking through a friend. I was impressed and surprised after this trip. It helped me gain more positive energy in moving from one place to another, creating more positive energy, helping me gain more confidence after this trip to complete my goals. Before, for me, traveling was just a rest and relaxation after years of tiring work. But since experiencing this form of travel, it helps me not only rest, but also relieve stress and negative energy. This trip, I chose to experience only half of the 14.5km distance (including climbing, exploring caves and swimming in the cave). I went right in the rainy season, which helped me increase my experience even more. I will return to Quang Binh soon to experience other caves. #quangbinh #tulan #trekking #awesomepic #foodie

#Overseas travel #Vietnam #Dong Sen area This place, centered around a quiet villa that appears along Trai Lake, is not only a lake, but also a place where you can see a spectacular view of lotus flowers in full bloom if you come at the right time. When I went, all the lotus roots and seeds had been removed, so I was disappointed that I couldn't see anything, but the lake itself is a very beautiful place, so it's a healing spot worth renting a motorbike and stopping by. The countryside scenery on the way here is also beautiful, and there is a forest of trees near the lake, so it's a great place to take a break and escape the heat.

Dark Cave is one of the main tourist attractions in Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, located in Quang Binh Province in central Vietnam. Dark Cave is one of the many caves in Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park that offers a special experience centered on activities and adventures. First discovered in 1990, this cave is a dark space where little light enters, and it retains its natural appearance. Inside the cave, limestone formations, mud pools, and mysterious natural landscapes combine to make exploring more fun. You can enjoy ziplining, kayaking, mud experiences, and even swimming in the nearby river, making it a place where you can have fun all day long. As soon as I arrived at Dark Cave, I first tried ziplining, and the moment I rode the zipline to the cave entrance was really thrilling. Below the long zipline, an emerald blue river spread out, and I could feel the scenery with my whole body as I went down while cutting through the wind. The highlight of Dark Cave is the mud experience! As you enter the cave, it gradually gets darker and darker, creating a mysterious atmosphere. Once you reach the mud pool, you can cover your entire body with soft mud. Mud is known to be good for the skin, so everyone happily participated. Since you move around the cave with a guide for safety, even beginners can enjoy it without any worries. At the end, you can exit the cave, wash off the mud in the river, and enjoy playing in the cool water. #VietnamTravel

#vietnamtrip This is a must visit places for a vietnam trip. From here you can visit the Paradise cave, take a boat ride into the Phọng Nha cave, visit the Hien Lương bridge and the demarcation line which separated the North and South vietnam during the infamous Vietnam War. You can reach phong nha by train, bus or plane. We took a flight from HCM city to Đồng Hới; the train and bus from different cities also end here. You should have contact your homestay or hotel, they will pick you up at the airport, train or bus station. For food, there are a few options for western foods; Google is your best friend to search a place to eat. We stayed at the Sondoong homestay within walking distance to the boat ride to phong Nha cave. Another good option is the Victoria Road homestay next door to Sondoong homestay. The Victoria is owned by an Australian with lots of experience exploring phong nha by bike. The restaurant is pretty nice and cozy with some good western dishes and decent pizzas. There are also other places but this is the only places we ate during our time here. There are a lot of places to stay in phọng nha, many tours are offered to fit your schedule. Overall, there is no 5 star accommodation and be prepared for the unexpected. But I can assure you this is a well worthy trip and enlighten your perspective. The scenery is beautiful and truly reflect the live of the rural vietnam. This lifestyle has not changed for the last 60 years. Life is still tough for a lots of local people, tourism brings some relief to this corner of the world and they are welcome and appreciated. I also wanted to visit the demarcation line separated the north and south up to 1975. I have to say, for me at least, is a disappointment. The bridge is in shameful, neglected conditions with pealed paints, rotten wood planks on both sides of the bridges. I am not sure how to interpret the intentions here. Like it or not, this is a piece of history should be preserved. Either maintain it or tear it down ! For history bluffs, this city in right on the Ho Chi Minh trail, the road the north Vietnamese armies and supplies were moving south to attack the southern government. The old dirt roads are paved now but i can tell it is not a smooth road even today; small road barely fit 2 cars in opposite directions. Khe Sanh is now a city, I found virtually nobody has any knowledge about the war. If you want to know more or feel adventurous, the owner of Victoria Road can help fu

#vietnamtrip The world’s largest cave, Hang Son Doong is so big it’s even got its own localised climate and clouds, a rainforest and a river. Only properly discovered in 2009, the cave is so large a 40-story skyscraper could fit at its highest point and at the widest point a Boeing 747 could glide through easily. Located in the Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, less people have seen the inside of this magical cave than have stood at the summit of Mount Everest. Son Doong, the largest cave in the world, only opened to the public in 2013. The vast expanse could house a 40-floor skyscraper with room to spare. But if you want to explore this cave, located in Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, be prepared to shell out the big bucks: a four-day expedition costs nearly $4,000.
