Along the roadside, you'll find a wide array of travel agencies, foreign currency redemption locations, restaurants of diverse cuisines, Western eateries, bars, cafes, and shops selling local specialty products—everything you could need. This is the old quarter of Ho Chi Minh City, where the daily life of ordinary people unfolds vividly before your eyes.

Here you can taste local snacks, and the delicious food from nearby street stalls is no less impressive than that of upscale restaurants.

Or, order a steamed beer crab at some obscure little shop; its thick, tender meat practically melts in your mouth, with an intoxicatingly fresh and sweet flavor. Don't miss the roadside rice skin snacks, available in various flavors—crispy and delicious. And for the girls, there's a variety of ice creams to enjoy, perfectly complemented by tropical fruits.

Thom island
Thom island is located in the Quan Dao An Thoi and is the largest island in this archipelago. Legend has it that in the early days, the island was covered with pineapple plants and filled with the fragrance of fruit, so it is also often called Pineapple Island. Once on the island, you can visit Sun World Hon Thom Nature Park, which features a water park with a wave pool, lazy river, and large water slides. For visitors who prefer to stay dry, the land-based amusement area offers a wooden roller coaster and a slowly rotating Eagle Eye observation tower. Beyond the modern facilities, the island still retains its charming natural character. The Kirin Cape area is perfect for snorkeling and exploring the colorful underwater world of coral. The island is also surrounded by a mangrove ecosystem, where exposed tidal flats and winding waterways at low tide create a serene natural landscape.Vietnam · Phu Quoc Island
Mui Ne Fishing Village
Mui Ne Fishing Village is a fishing port on the coast of Mui Ne, Phan Thiet, Vietnam, that is still in operation today. It is both a fishing village and an open, sandy beach. The bay has calm waters, and fishing boats of various sizes and colors are anchored there year-round. Looking out from the high ground on the shore, the dense cluster of boats looks like a handful of toys scattered on the water. You can also often see the round, woven bamboo basket boats unique to the coast of Vietnam along the beach, which create a very recognizable scene. Walk down the stone steps to the seaside, and you will be greeted by the sea breeze. To see the fishing village, you should go early: fishermen mostly go out to sea at night and return with full loads around sunrise. Fishing boats dock one after another, and the catch is spread directly on the beach for sorting and sale. Women are busy around baskets of fish and shrimp, and the entire beach becomes an open-air seafood morning market. Most of the catch is sold to nearby seafood stalls. In the evening, when the fishing activities subside and the beach becomes quiet, watching the sunset paint the sea red is equally pleasant.Vietnam · Phan Thiet

Walk into the Post Office and you'll find a spacious lobby with a classically arching ceiling, round windows, hanging chandeliers, and stunningly gorgeous wall lamps, among other decorative features. Beneath the old map on the wall, there are classic phone booths from which you can make international calls.

There are many intricately carved Buddha statues, Bodhisattva statues and carved decorations in the temple. There are also several large Buddha statues of Maitreya, Reclining Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva in the courtyard outside the temple. It is said that the flesh of hundreds of years old monks is also enshrined in the temple🙏🏻.
There are many bougainvilleas planted in the temple. When I went there, it was in bloom. Sitting on a chair under the blooming bougainvilleas, I was very satisfied with the portraits I took😌.

We bought a combo ticket for the Teddy Bear Museum and a Venice gondola ride. The Teddy Bear Museum wasn't as big as we expected, and we finished our visit quickly. The museum also has a children's playground, where the kids played for quite a while, while adults could sit and relax. The Venice gondola ride itself only took about 20 minutes. The gondoliers were very helpful, taking photos for us. Although we didn't speak the language, their service was excellent!

Instagrammable clear water, this spot is for you. The Sun World Hon Thom Cable Car is the wildest way to get here—world’s longest sea cable ride with epic ocean views all the way. Pack light, there are lockers onsite and snack stalls if cravings hit!Personal Tips:Don’t just stick to the main beach—walk a bit for quieter coves (super chill for a swim!). Water shoes are clutch for shellier parts, and if you’re keen on snorkeling, bring your own mask (the rental quality is hit or miss). Visit right after morning opening for fewer crowds and glowy light for photos.Getting Around:Grab a taxi or rent a motorbike to the An Thoi cable car station. From there, it’s a breezy 20-minute ride to island bliss! On Phu Quoc, motorbikes are cheap, but taxis are great if you want max chill.
