    "What is Cat Ba in April?? ! Just chatting for a few minutes, my sister decided to do a 2 day 1 night trip to Cat Ba to relieve stress. ✅ Move: We choose to ride a motorbike, moving from the center to the island doesn't take much time, just go and enjoy the scenery. Ferry ticket: 12k 1ng. Motorbike 57k 2ng and car. The lateest trip in summer is 19h. The seaside road is as beautiful as the rumor. Paper flowers grow on both sides of the shore, check in anywhere. This month, there are also rice flowers growing, anyone who takes a motorbike keeps looking at the roadside to see rice flowers, and going through the cottage to check in. ✅ Hotel: I stayed at the Manh Vuong hotel right on the street 1/4 . This hotel has been in business for a long time, but the room quality is still good and the view is beautiful. Right by the sea, open the door to see the sea breeze hitting the face r. 🤣 The price of the seafront has a nice view but it is very cheap: 400k/ night ✅ Dining: check-in is also at noon, so we eat fruit cake in the room and wait 2 o'clock to eat rice dumplings."

In the early morning, you will wake up to the sound of the church bells, the hotel provides sumptuous western food, and the layered French buildings in the town will make you feel like you are in a certain European town. Vacationing in Shaba is very relaxing, whether it is standing on the top of the mountain to watch the panorama and terraced fields of the sandba that are ever-changing in the fog, or watching the skillful weaving handicrafts of the locals, time will slip away unknowingly.
