traveling back to visit my lovely hometown🌿
⚠️ THIS POST WILL BE LONG, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING ⚠️
Cool places in Vietnam 🇻🇳✈️
📍Location: Cao Bang (Northern Vietnam)
✈️ LAX - HAN (around 16-hour flight + transit)
⌛️ As travelers, after arriving at Noi Bai International Airport, I'd suggest staying in Hanoi for a couple of days. Due to the time change, you will have Jetleg (depending where you come from, it gonna take a week to get used to the time zone).
🏨 My hotel suggestion: Hanoi HM Boutique Hotel - No. 3 Hang Dau, Hoan Kiem, Hanoi. You can easily book the place thru Booking, TripAdvisor, Agoda, etc... The price will be cheaper if you book in advance
Hotel located right in the central downtown, it is easy to walk to find food, exploring Hanoi Old Quarter, plus employees speak English & really helpful. They also offer different tour to explore North Vietnam.
🔴 If you aren't happy with their price, feel free to shop around. There are a lot of places that offer tours around the area, or you can look up on TripAdvisor!
Heading to my hometown:
🚞 You may need to ask for tours to 𝑳𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝑺𝒐𝒏 & 𝑪𝒂𝒐 𝑩𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝑶𝑹 𝑯𝒂 𝑮𝒊𝒂𝒏𝒈, 𝑳𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝑺𝒐𝒏 & 𝑪𝒂𝒐 𝑩𝒂𝒏𝒈. It will be really challenging if you don't have a tour guide or sign up for a tour since it's a long distance to get to my hometown.
💰Price: From $180-500/person, depending on how long your trip will be, how many provinces you wanna visit....
☆ I believe they also offer private tour (price range from $700-1800)
📒Notes: Most places offer tours with foods, place to stay, all entry fees (remember to ask carefully what included)
