Hanoi

I was a bit worried because most blog reviews described trains as uncomfortable and only romantic, but it wasn't uncomfortable at all; in fact, it was more comfortable than a sleeping bus. Those sensitive to noise might find it a bit uncomfortable, but perhaps because we were so exhausted, we slept practically like we passed out haha. We waited in the VIP waiting room after having our tickets checked, and when it was time, a staff member carried all our luggage to the carriage. It was also fun waving and greeting people as we passed the tracks. It's worth trying at least once. I recommend it 👍👍

The most striking feeling of visiting Ha Long Bay is stepping into a flowing "seascape painting." Known as the "Guilin of the Sea," it boasts thousands of limestone peaks rising abruptly from the sea! This isn't a rushed itinerary, but rather a "slow travel" perfect for enjoying the sea breeze and watching the mountains recede from the deck of a cruise ship. At dusk, the sea is bathed in golden light, and at night, the tranquility of the bay, listening to the waves, is something hard to find in the city. Entering Sung Sot Cave, you'll be awestruck by the massive stalactite dome, like stepping into an underwater palace. Climbing to the viewpoints on Paradise Island or Titop Island offers a 360-degree panoramic view of the thousands of islands; the sight at the top is well worth the leg ache. The guides were incredibly dedicated, staying with us throughout the entire trip. We were picked up from our hotel in downtown Hanoi, and the return trip was also in a super comfortable tour bus. The two-and-a-half-hour journey was completely exhausting, and I slept incredibly well – highly recommended!

As stated in the description, but cheaper than other stores.
