A direct flight takes only an hour and a half to see Italian architecture. 📍Mega Grand World; Hanoi 🚘 Let's call Grab and go. It takes about 20-30 minutes out of town. This is a replica of Venice. Every corner is like being in Italy. There are many shops and many photo spots. The colors are bright. 💵👍🏻 It's also free to enter. I like it very much. #Western architecture #100 ways to travel #journey #gmmsdiary #Travel abroad by yourself #Travel abroad #Vietnam #Hanoi

Today, Gammy will take you to visit a European-style miniature city that is free to enter. 💵❌ No charge. 🚘 Traveling from downtown Hanoi, we can take a taxi or call Grab.

There are many shops and restaurants to choose from. The photo spots are so spectacular. I couldn't choose. Plus, in the evening, there is a light show. The light and sound show is full. Don't forget to stop by. #Vietnam #Hanoi #VietnamTravel #gmmsdiary #TravelAbroad #TravelAsia #Backpacking #backpacker #trip #vietnam #hanoi #grandworld #VietnamTravel

Grand World Hanoi captivates with its stunning architecture, lush gardens, and serene lakes. The vibrant blend of traditional and modern elements creates a picturesque and enchanting atmosphere, making every visit a visual delight. You can take pictures with the pirates boat and sit on a gondola boat to enjoy the beauty of this landscape. It’s just 30 mins away from Hanoi city centre. Do head down if you are in Hanoi 😍 #familytrips2024 #freehotelstay #vietnamtrip

Mega Grand World Hanoi is not only a new spot on the capital's entertainment map, but also a 'must-visit' place for those passionate about exploration and experience. With spacious areas and designs inspired by famous cultural cities, Mega Grand World offers visitors a fascinating experience in the heart of Hanoi. The gondola ride is expensive, but it's worth trying at least once; however, do it when it's not too hot and there are fewer people... The boat has no shade, so it can get quite hot. Or come in the evening to enjoy the night view... Just keep in mind that there are more people in the evening than during the day.

📍Vinpearl Water Park, Vietnam 🏖️ This water park isn't that big, compared to Xiang Tau Water Park. This time, we found the entire area painted, which was a bit confusing. 😄😄 There's a small bar for food, locker rooms, and the water play equipment is very clean, so no need to worry. Another advantage of this water park is that it's not crowded, so you can have fun with everything. I'd like to commend the kids' play area, which is very well done. They have lifeguards to guide the kids and keep an eye on the surrounding area. 👍🏻👍🏻 It's recommended to wear appropriate swimwear and pants without buttons for the thrilling slides (pants with buttons are not allowed). Today, we played the snake-like ride. At first, it looked scary. I thought it wouldn't be fun, but after trying it, I almost had a heart attack. 😂😂 The water park staff at this park checks your weight before every ride. My friend and I weigh under 160 kilograms, which felt like a superficial check. But if you're going to the water park, be sure to check it out! 😄😃 ⏰ Opening/Closing Hours: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM (Open daily) 🚗 No parking because it's on an island! 😆😆 ⭐️ Rating: 9/10 #AdventureTrip #VietnamTravel #NhaTrangTravel #vinwondersphuquoc #PhuQuocIsland #WaterparkAmusementPark

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck 📍 VinWonders Wave Park & ​​Water Park 🌊 If you're visiting Phu Quoc Island, another must-see is Vinpearl Wave Park. This water park is truly amazing, with tons of waterslides. You must weigh yourself before entering, and there are height and weight restrictions. It's perfect for parents and children to play together, as phones are not allowed inside, so photos must be taken from the tsunami-affected area. This truly is the ultimate water park! 👍🏻👍🏻 ⏰ 9:00 AM - 7:30 PM #VietnamTravel #NhaTrangTravel #WaterparkAmusementPark #PhuQuocIsland

Connecting K-Town and Venice, this bridge felt like a 'path of emotions' between two worlds. 😊"

Since it included a round-trip gondola ride and a walk, I was able to enjoy a completely different travel scenery 😊”

#Southeast Asia Travel This time, I visited a place called Hanoi Grand World. This is one of the most famous theme parks in Hanoi, and it was really, really cool. ❤️❤️❤️ And there were so many events and festivals here, so it was really great. And it was decorated like my own outlet, so I could do a variety of shopping, which was really great. 😘😘 And it was in Koreatown, so I could eat Dayeon BBQ and go to a Korean cafe, which was really great. 💕💕 If you have a chance to go to Vietnam, I really recommend visiting Hanoi Grand Goat. 👍 And it was really amazing because they set off fireworks and did various performances every weekend. It was really high quality for Vietnam, so it was fun to see. And they also run a shuttle bus in the city, so I didn't have to worry about going back and forth, which was really convenient and nice.🐍
