Well, the first foreign country I have been to was Russia . But the most impressive country I went to was thailand (2019).This is the place that made me understand the "transgender" industry. This trip was on New Year's Day, I went with my parents, so they showed me a lot of things because they had been here before. I am extremely excited to experience such a rewarding trip. The first day we landed at Bangkok airport and checked in the hotel. On the second day, I was taken to the famous churches in Thailand ( i don't remember the name:)), I learned that the people , especially like Haru. In the evening, we had a free walk at the Bangkok night market, I met a lot of Japanese girls here, they were quite interesting and I tried to strike up a conversation with some of them (they complimented me that I was cute and handsome). Then I ended the day with dinner with traditional Thai dishes (Somtum, Tom Yum, Thai hot pot,...). Above is my entire journey in Thailand (perhaps due to limited time, I had to return home early to celebrate Tet with relatives). Although time was quite short, I made a lot of memories with my family. This makes me extremely happy!

There are many cool and exotic places in Vietnam and the world, but if you ask me about the most worthy place to go with a small budget, it would be Sapa, Lao Cai. Even though it sounds far and expensive, it is actually budget-friendly. We got to Lao Cai by a overnight train starting from Ha Noi (that’s the only time when they make the trip for people). We go to Sapa in August, which is in the restriction time because of Covid, so there aren’t many tourist when we arrive. From Lao Cai train station, you have to go for another 30km to get to sapa. Technically we also have the option that is the bus ride from hanoi to lao cai, but since my family are all car sick people so we reject it. We have gone to many interesting place there, but the most interesting experience is when we go swimming in a small stream. I have gone swimming in the sea and swimming pool a lot before, but swimming in the stream from the mountain is a very exciting experience. The water is cool in a comfortable way, very clean because we are near the source of water, and water is flowing to your body but you don’t actually feel like you are dying when you swimming in the river because there is not much depth and it is also not as wide as a river. It is a very nice experience when swimming in the stream because not only you are swimming in a cool and clean environment, the surroundings are great with mountains, rocks,… All in all, sapa is the coolest (by both the experience and the weather).

Bonus: picture of me deciding if it is dangerous to swim or not

Hello everyone, I'm Khoa, today I want to tell you about my trip to Sa Dec Flower Village. When I was 11, studying grade 6, I was able to have a trip there with my classmates and other students who also study grade 6 with me. It was kind of a welcome ceremony that our secondary school celebarate to welcome us, new members of the school, to an absolutely new environment. I ẹnjoyed the trip most because it gave me opportunities to experience really unforgetable new things such as living with a local family or witnessing the flower growing process. From the trip, I think the most valuable thing I learned is the experience. I'm sorry to say that I don't have a picture of the trip so I used a picture from Google.

It was a three-month summer vacation in 2019 when my parents decided to let me and my brother travelled abroad to Singapore and Malaysia. During that amazing trip, we got to taste lots of different delicious local dishes and visited almost every tourist attractions in the 2 countries. The time I enjoy most was when me and my brother went to a temple located on the mountain. In order to got to the temple, we had to took the stairs, which was very exhausted. By the time we completed climbing the stairs, turns out it not just only a temple located on the mountain but there was also a magnificent cave too. The cave is so big that it can contain thousands of people and lots of bats inside. After travelled overseas, I can learnt how to spent money, got to taste many types of dishes in different countries, and get to know more about my brother's favourite food too.

Hi guys, now I'm gonna tell you about an exotic place I've been to before the pandemic. To be honest, my family and I always have a great passion for a summer vacation - especially a trip to a foreign country, and for me, my favorite destination would be Bangkok - Thailand. You guys might be surprised, but I've actually been to this country for 6 times! (and next year will be my seventh one). So I'll tell you more about my latest summer vacation with my parents 3 years ago.

I've been to plenty of tourist attractions there, and I was totally impressed by its beautiful landscape, together with its cultural features. Much as I travelled and kept exploring new things, I never get bored for even a moment. One thing that I enjoyed the most was going shopping there (Terminal 21, Platinum, Central World shopping mall), since there were various things that I was interested in. Not only could I relax myself during the trip, I also enjoyed spending time with my beloved parents. Travelling does help me widen my knowledge and find out more about the world's diverse culture. I also visited an ice rink there (but I forgot to bring my skates along so I couldn't practice there -.-). The local people were so kind to me, and I really loved the cuisine there (especially street food)

In my opinion, Bangkok is the best destination for a vacation, and also an ideal places to travel. I'm glad that me and my family could spend time together and enjoy such a memorable trip.

Thank you everyone for reading my writing ^.^. Hope you like it.

As you can see in the picture, it is 9 years old me. My parents took me and my sister on a tour to Thailand. A lot of people say that it’s super hot, so we’ll easily get tired of the pitiless sunlight and scorching heat. Maybe as a tropical citizen, I was familiar with heat so I didn’t have any difficulty in adjusting there. I was impressed by the riding on an elephant activity. But now looking back, I feel so bad for them because they have to carry us and tolerant our high heels or our feet when we step on them harshly just for photos or fun. The most interesting part for me is trying a variety of Thailand’s dishes. Pad Thai is famous but I was in love with banana roti and mango sticky rice. I couldn’t eat spicy food so Tom Yum was definitely out of my interest. People there were friendly like ours. They welcomed me as I walked with my sister along the street. They also helped us taking pictures. Above is the photo of me when I visited the Thai billionaire's house which I have forgotten the name :)))) The house was full of money that caught everyone's eyes. We weren’t allowed to make loud noises there so it was a hard time for me to stay still as a child. One of my criteria for a wonderful trip is delicious food, and Thailand is the place where I could pique my appetite, so it’s probably fit my taste in traveling.
----------------------------
At that time, I simply thought that it’s just a trip with family. But the more mature I am, the more precious that moment becomes. It is one of my family’s memories that no one could ever forget. Due to everyone's hectic schedule now, we hardly spend time for a proper talk to each other. I realized we need to feel thankful for all the time we can stay with the people we love by using time wisely and doing our best as not to feel regretful in the future.

Hi, this is Bảo Ngọc and my first ever travel blog so far, hope you enjoy it.
----------------------------------
To tell you the truth, I have not travelled much, but I would say I have been to worth-visiting places. One of them is Nam Du, a far island in Kien Giang province with an unique beauty. It was a three-day trip with my family in last April. It was short, but memorable.
This is not a warning, this is a fact: I am quite culture-shocked at first (but I enjoyed the trip). Why? First, there are only houses, small hotels and motorbikes (especially Honda), a lot different from skyscrapers and cars in our city. Second, there is no electricity from land! To your curiosity, the locals use electric generators instead, an ideal place to try a new lifestyle. Third, far from my imagination, it took only half an hour to go around the island as it is not really big. On the first day, we enjoyed the cool weather with chill winds and observed the spectacular views of Nam Du. It was so peaceful and relaxing, more than what I wished for, honestly. The second day was a good fun, we went to the beach, the most beautiful beach I have ever been to. White sand, turquoise water, chill waves and sunny weather. In the morning, I went diving to see the coral reefs, for the first time in my life. It was going absolutely great and I even had myself a sudden "souvenir"- a small scar on my foot as I had nothing covering it. After this, I would advise you to had your swimming shoes or socks on to protect your legs and feet. It didn't hurt much so I continued swimming and having the most wonderful time there. In the evenings, my family and I often went to the night market, bought food and just chilled in the fresh and cool air. The food was prepared by the locals and is so tasty actually, especially the seafood. I miss everything so much.
----------------------------------
That is everything about my trip in Nam Du. Fairly speaking, it was an amazing time off. Writing this blog makes me miss the holidays. Thank you for reading mine ^^ PS. I am looking forward to your blog :0

I miss travelling so much huhu :(((
To be honest, I have been to many places throughout the world, such as Thailand, Singapore, India, Malaysia many places in Vietnam too,...
I also took lots of photos, unfortunately, my phone was robbed, so all of my trip's pictures have gone too.
Don't worry I still have lots of experience to share with you guys. So now I'm gonna tell you about the most memorable trip I've ever been too. You guys must be curious now, right? Let's start now!!!

It's is a scenic area near Ninh Binh, renowned for its boat cave tours. On 23 June 2014, at the 38th session of the World Heritage Committee in Doha, it was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Also, tourists can experience sailing boat to discover caves by themselves. The surroundings consist of enormous limestone mountains. I used to think that I am in a real lake, but I was shocked that it's a field inside an area of limestone mountains. Farmers were the sailor who took me on a boat trip said that this area couldn't develope agriculture so they decided to fill in water in order to change it into an exotic tourist attraction. Belive it or not, you can see birds swimming in the river, with goats standing around looking at you. Maybe you have realized which place is it, haven't you? It's the Trang An landscape complex.

I miss Trang An so much, it's absolutely an ideal place for anyone who loves sailing in a cool weather. I loved the sunny, cool atmosphere there a lotttttt. I also met a lot of lovely foreigners from many different countries around the world. We also organized a competition for each boat teams, and who reach the point first, will recieve 500 000 VND. I tried a lot :)) to win so that I got all wet =))
But the most impressive part in my boat trip is the time when we were all stuck in the caves because of the rain, I remembered that there were many boats at there with us too. The sailor asked us to play cards with them until the rain is over =))
As a food lover, I never forgot to try the best food there :)) I have eaten so many rice crust (com chay Ninh Binh) and after that I recieved lots of acne on my face -.- what a sad story ::::((. But I didn't stop, I continued eating "Moc" noodle soup (my nick name) and Ninh Binh mountain snails. OMGGGGG they are so great, it makes me hungry when I wrote this blog =))

Although, there were nothing to buy as a souvernirs but at least I enjoyed that cheeap moment after a hard-working year with my adorable family <33

Despite being quite reserved, I've always been dreaming of travelling to places. Last year, I got a chance to go to Da Lat with my friends on a school trip. Da Lat is not a so exotic place but it's the furthest place I've ever been to, honestly and when we talked about it, what pops up in our minds at the very beginning is the chilliness and some local delicacy which attracts myriad tourists in and outside Vietnam, especially teenagers.
Although there was restricted time duration to fully contemplate the beauty of the scenes, I enjoyed the moment going out with my friends. There, I could both learn and play simultaneously, this seems to be irrational but it sounds right to be, by the way. What impressed me most is the hectic atmosphere of the Da Lat Market since there were a lot of shops and vendors, they professionally flipped the ricepaper (I don't know how to say this), put some eggs on the surface and gave us accompanied with a piece of paper, their manner proved their experience, even kids directly did it for us. The cutest thing ever is the more ricepaper (let's call it ricepaper, I'm sure you understand what is it) the more the kid's parent showed off her kid's ability, that's adorable, right?
In Da Lat, I could visit the house of former king - Bao Dai, flower gardens, vegetables gardens etc. Those are moments for me to learn and observe things better so I could see how people grow vegetables in the special place.
Up there is the photo of my class in the popular square in Da Lat. It's cool and cold out there both.

Hi guys, I’m Thanh Thao and I’ll tell you about an exotic place I've been to. To be honest, I rarely go abroad, so besides Singapore, I only go to Thailand but I think Singapore is the place that impresses me the most. I remember coming to Singapore with my family on summer vacation when I was 8 years old. Because it’s been seven years, I don’t remember my memories in Singapore anymore. But the memory I remember now is that I went to Universal Studio Singapore and visited many beautiful places. Then, my family went to Merlion Park and took a lot of photos with a statue of the Sea Lion but I don’t understand why the photo disappeared. Luckily, I still have the photo at Universal Studio (as you can see). When I came here, I felt that this country was so clean that it amazed me. Therefore, after this trip, I changed my mind and tried not to litter indiscriminately because I want Vietnam to be as clean as Singapore. And I hope you’re the same opinion as me. I think Singapore is the best place to travel, so if I have the opportunity, I’ll come back here. Thank for reading it!

My family and I took a wonderful trip to Taiwan five years ago. I've visited a number of locations, including Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, Yeliu Geopark, where there are stones in a variety of weird shapes, and others. The Shifen ancient village, Taipei 101, and the night market were the three spots that left the biggest impression on me. The first was in Shifen's ancient village, where I was able to write a wish on a lantern and release it into the sky between the village's railroad lines. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me. The tour of Taipei 101 is the next point to mention. If my memory serves me correctly, it was the world's third-highest skyscraper at the time. I don't recall much about this building because it's been more than 5 years since that trip. The big metal ball inside the tower, which serves to balance the structure, is the only thing that comes to mind. And the final spot I'll remember for the rest of my life is a night market whose name I've forgotten. If I do not volunteer to join in street activities despite not understanding the language, there is nothing worth talking about this night market. I have no idea why I did it. I remembered him telling me at the time that I needed to cooperate with the rest of the team, not understanding anything but I still nodded.
And in terms of Taiwanese culture, I only know that their food culture is diverse, but because I am picky, I can only eat rice with fish sauce that my aunt brought over when I visit, rather than experiencing the quintessence of Chinese cuisine. So if I were allowed to go back in time, I would definitely try all the Chinese specialties That’s all I remember about the trip five years ago, and it's fascinating that it provided me with so many unique experiences.

I think that you guys can guess the place I want to tell you today through this picture. Ah yes, it’s Japan! I must say as a kid, I especially love watching Japanese cartoon- which means ‘anime’ ^^. So I had a deep impression on this country. When I was older, I’ve had a chance to visit Japan with my family, it is the summer when I was 11. And it didn’t let me down, the scenery was outstanding far more than I’d expected!

Because of being an introvert, I especially love staying alone in the bookstore if I hang out with anybody. So after having a rest at hotel, I immediately went to a bookstore to look for some mangas that I like and bought souvenirs for my friends. It was just postcards, badges, and tons of things related to anime (I’m so sorry for being a wibu ;-;). Everything was satisfying until I tried Japanese’s cuisine (sushi, ramen, Takoyaki,…), the food looked so freaking mouth-watering that I- a picky eater- couldn’t stop eating them 😊. It was just a one-week vacation so I didn’t go to many places, and on top of that, I think I love Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park the most. There I got to know more about Japan’s history- I think you guys all know about atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki so I don’t have to say that again :)) .

After the vacation, I had experienced a lot of things like culture, history and the breathtaking view of Japan. I want to be here once again in the future and buy more souvenirs =)))
I truly apologized for not having any pictures from the trip so please enjoy my picture taken from Google ;-;

Hello, today I will talk about an exotic place I have been to. It's a scenic spot in Vietnam - called Trang An scenic complex.

In the summer of 2016, I had a trip with my family to Trang An, Ninh Binh. We went sightseeing on a junk (small boat). The water was crystal clear and we could even see green seaweed at the bottom (actually, the water was quite shallow). The boat driver took us through caves where the rocks touched the water. Those are limestone, they sparkled like glitter and there's water coming out of it, my mom said it's holy water (?) idk heh :))) We went through many caves, there were Tối Cave, Sáng Cave,... I tried to reach the stones but the adults told me it was too dangerous ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

About my favourite part, it's the atmosphere there. The clear blue sky harmonized with the green of the seaweed and the mountains, the plants and trees look very peaceful. the water was cool and the feeling of touching the water is amazing.

In the end, when I got home, I kept thinking about the cool water and the magical feeling of entering the cave. I was also very impressed with the landscape filled with greenery there. And I think that is probably also the reason why Trang An is recognized by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage.

Hi guys, today I’m gonna tell you about an exotic place I have been to. Two years ago, after the 2nd semester, I took a trip to Hanoi with my family- the capital of Vietnam is one of the most ancient cities in the world for the first time. I stayed at my aunt’s house and since that moment, I knew why Hanoi has been widely considered the most beautiful and worth-living place. It has countless attractions of various landscapes such as historical sites, pagodas, temples, lakes, and parks. Since it would be impossible to describe everything in just a blog, I’ll just talk about the three places I like most in Hanoi, one of which is Hoan Kiem lake. Located in the center of Hanoi, Hoan Kiem Lake was used by ancient people for fishing and boating. It is also famous for its legends about dragons living inside the lake. These days, Hoan Kiem Lake is a public park that everyone can enjoy. It is always crowded with people especially in the early morning and late evening when many couples come to enjoy its beautiful scenery and romantic atmosphere. Besides the lake, there’s one more place I like in Hanoi: Thang Long bridge also known as the bridge on the red river. The bridge is very majestic and beautiful as it is very wide and long. Besides, you can stand on the bridge to take a memorable photo of the city. The third attraction that I like in Hanoi is the Temple of Literature, also known as Quoc Tu Giam. It is located within a very beautiful park with ancient buildings and multiple pagodas. This temple was built for students who were studying for an imperial examination.
And it’d be a huge mistake if I don’t mention its food. Hanoi has a great dining scene, with lots of choices available. Broadly speaking, you’ll find mostly budget local places in the Old Quarter, with more high-end international offerings in French Quarter. Not only can you enjoy authentic Vietnamese dishes like pho and banh mi, but the international tastes available include French, Japanese, Thai, and Chinese cuisine as well.
I miss Hanoi so much. That would be the best trip in my life. I hope that the pandemic will end soon so I can go back to Hanoi one more time. Thanks for reading this.

Hi guys, it's me Mitu again :)))). I really want to tell all of you about my fascinating journey to Nha Trang 2 years ago. So let's get started, shall we?
--------------------------------------------
It was the most memorable 3-day trip in my life. My family and I had a chance to try a lot of new things from the local cuisine to the scenic sights there. On the first day, we spent most of the time relaxing at the homestay after about 8hrs on the coach. The party started from the second day :))). We went to Vinpearl Nha Trang, experienced the thrills and spills of the rollercoasters and a lot of multicultural villages. As you can see on the top of the post, it's my picture at the Japanese village and I really enjoy the peaceful atmosphere there because when I went to Vinpearl, there aren't a lot of tourists. After a long day playing there, we came back to the homestay and recharge our batteries. On the last day, we had a chance to go to local people's houses. We asked them about the culture, food and a lot of things. After that, we go trekking at '' Co Tien '' mountain. It s not so high but we can see all of Nha Trang city from the top of it. It is the most peaceful time in my life, looking at the white cloud, having nothing to care about. At the end of the trip, we got back to the homestay and prepared to go back to HCMC.

There are many places in this world to visit yet tragically, I have not had the chance to go all throughout the planet. Be that as it may, I had an entirely essential involvement with Vung Tau with my companions while taking part in a rivalry there. Numerous things in Vung Tau cause me to recall everlastingly, yet doubtlessly the recollections of being with companions are an extremely new encounter for me. Right off the bat, I and my companions showed up early and around 3 hours after we arrived in Vung Tau. We were permitted to go to the inn and take a mid-day break so we could be dynamic that evening. Just after the mid-day break finished, my companions and I chose to take a walk and stroll along the coast, the cool wind continued to come in and the smell of the ocean was generally excellent, and afterward, we went to the seashore, appreciating tasty seafood dishes sold by the coast, conveyed by road sellers along the coast, carrying an exceptionally new encounter to me and my companions.

On the second day I invited the new day with the sun radiating through the window, I saw a gathering of sprinters in the yard on the grounds that there was likewise another rivalry going on, they were wearing military regalia that looked extraordinary. Subsequent to partaking in a touch of the new day's daylight, I began the day with breakfast ready for us. After we got done with eating we arranged to move to the competition venue, I recall that we performed for very nearly 30 minutes, while rehearsing I saw it for quite a while in light of the fact that we rehearsed for a long time however we performed for just 30 minutes, the recollections returned flooding when the exhibition was over which made me somewhat pitiful in light of the fact that it appeared to be that I was going to leave this spot and my colleagues. In the evening we were moved to the large square before the ocean, we began moving and singing, connecting with one another, the sensation of causing new companions satisfied me to feel extremely, despite the fact that we can only stay in touch by messaging on Facebook.

Every one of our groups needed to set up a melody to perform for different groups the following day when we hosted our goodbye gathering, so when we returned to the lodging my group rehearsed until 3 am.

The day at last came, we moved to Ho May vacationer region, it was whenever I first took the cable car after over 10 years. I move to the highest point of the mountain by cable car, everything on the ground turns out to be little, the encompassing view is very magnificent. We will mess around together and afterward bid farewell. We got in the vehicle and moved back to the city, by 10 pm we had shown up and completed the excursion.

"Half the fun of the travel is the aesthetic of lostness" - Ray Bradbury.

I love traveling without planning beforehand. The feeling of not knowing what will be ahead of me is ecstatic and almost an addiction. Because of it, that one trip to Da Lat during springtime without booking anything in advance is still the one I love the most.

My family and I set off at 5 in the morning, having packed our suitcase the night before. We drove 8 hours straight to Da Lat with our window wide open and blasted music nonstop. The thrills were real. I was full of beans looking forward to spending my time drinking virgin cocktails, taking loads of pictures, and enjoying life to the fullest.

As we expected, every hotel and resort has been fully booked since it was in high season. Fortunately, we managed to find a spectacular hotel located just opposite Ho Xuan Huong lake. The Blue Water hotel cost us 100$ per night with serviced accommodation, but it was so worth it.

After that, I spent the night out at the market and bought some souvenirs. We also got to some of the tourist attractions with five stars rating online, ate "Vietnamese pizza" - which is bánh tráng nướng while enjoying the chilly weather in Da Lat.

A lot of years had passed, but the memories were still burning in the back of my mind. I miss the good old time when I didn't have to be over-worried about my future and my schoolwork. I will definitely go on an unplanned trip again and rinse the stress off me in the near future.

Personally I'm not a huge fan of travelling. But once in a while is cool, after all, who doesn't like lying at the beach getting tanned while sipping an ice-cold drink, away from work. In 2019 summer, before Covid, I went on a trip to Dalat. But we took a path less travelled by, literally, and went into the woods. Not the wild woods, rather a preserved one. It's a natural forest, but there are these motels that they built for occasional tourists to stay and enjoy the fresh air. So we stayed there for, if I recall correctly, was 5 nights.
In the mornings we would usually go out to small streams, set up camp, eat, drink and explore the area. Nothing particular special, except that one time when I tried crossing a stream by walking on a tree trunk that connected the two sides. I slipped and almost fell, fortunately I was able to regain my balance and made it unscratched. An experience it was.
Things got a little more exciting towards the end of the day, in the evenings we would gather around a bonfire, roasting marshmallows, telling ghost stories and sing. Then we went to the Night Market to pick up some souvenirs and bought some hot soy milk. Usually soy milk something that you would freak out over, but in the 5-6 degrees nights, it totally deserves the hype. Then we went back to our motel to rest. The next fews days we either did the same thing or went into the city shopping.
Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely consider doing something similar in the future.
(Unfortunately I don't have pictures of the trip so here's a replacement)

I’ve been to a lot of places in Vietnam but I have never been to anywhere abroad before. Thus, I still have some great memory for such holiday vacation. And the most memorable trip is that time when I went to Da Nang with my family and my mom’s family.

We travelled there by plane and stayed for a week. The first day went really well as we enjoyed our day at the beach. We visited the night market at the same day which was really fun. To begin the next day, we visited Ba Na Hill and that was the first time I’d ever gone on a cable car. At noon, we decided to try the all the local specialities such as: shrimps; oysters, squids… To be honest, the food really matched our taste. The third day, my mom drew up a plan for our next destination- Hoi An Ancient Town. Everyone was down with such perfect idea. Additionally, the time we visited Da Nang coincided with the festivals season, we had greater opportunities to get a depper insight about Da Nang. Because Hoi An is in Quang Ninh, we set off immediately after considering. When we arrived to our destination, we were all impressed by the view- mostly because they looks more ancient than we expected and the designs were pretty bizarre.

Side info: Before the day we went to Da Nang, I’d been bitten by my dog and I didn’t get vaccinated because the hospital ran out of the injection substance.

Back on the track, we were enjoying a delicious dish called” cao lầu” in a small restaurant nearby when suddenly the television brought up the topic about a boy who was killed by his own dog, which hit my parents in panic. At that time, I knew I f up :))

Immediately after that, my dad called his private doctor if they still had had vaccine in Ho Chi Minh City. Guess what, they finally imported enough amount of vaccin for the patients.

And yes, I and my family had to flew home that night…

To be honest, I was a bit disappointed… But I had to go back if I still wanted to live :))))

(The incident was a sudden so we didn’t have chance to take a snap)

I had the opportunity to visit a sand dune in Phan Thiet two years ago with some of classmates and it was quite the experience. We were in Phan Thiet for two days and the trip to the sand dune took place on the second day of the tour.

We set off at 5 in the morning, I remember myself shivered by the cold. The ride to the sand dune wasn't that far but it felt like ages as I was eager. When we arrived, I was left baffled by kilometres of just sand and sand, piling up to such an impressive height that they became "hills". Gorgeous. I thought. There was also something special to their color, although it wasn't pink, as the name "Đồi Hồng" suggested, it was a sight for sore eyes nonetheless.

We spent the first twenty minutes walking up the dune and taking pictures, much to my regret, I didn't take any. Then the next hour was when the real fun began. Basically, we were sliding down those "sand hills" on boards, screaming with joy. The experience was top-notch as the breeze of the early morning caressed our skin when the boards were swiftly sliding down.

Overall, the trip to the sand dune was my favorite part of the tour. Should I have the opportunity, I will definitely visit it again.

My family doesn't often travel on vacation, let alone travel abroad. Nevertheless, on my 14th birthday, my parents decided that we could go to Singapore. I was hyped! It was my first time I've ever been to a foreign country. Singapore is an island country off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula in Southeast Asia. It is separated from Malaysia by the Straits of Johor, and from Indonesia's Riau Islands by the Singapore Strait. Singapore is among the 20 smallest countries in the world but it sure is mighty. The whole Singapore might be as big as Ho Chi Minh city but it is way more advanced. When I first arrived at Changi International Airport (Singapore airport), I was overwhelmed by the modern and clean airport. Singapore is known for its cleanliness all around the world so there's no surprised that the whole city is so fresh and clean. On my first day at Singapore, my parents and I went sightseeing around the city and visiting all the hot spots. It took us a few hours to completely be familiar with the subway system in Singapore. We got to eat some of the local delicacies, though most of them come from China and Malaysia. On the second day, we spent our day at the Universal Studio the largest theme park in Singapore. It was fantastic, from the roller coasters, the glass house to 3D games, everything was great. In the afternoon, we went to Singapore Zoo, one of the biggest zoo and the Night Safari, the first safari in Asia. The experience was terrific with all the exotic animals and various environments. Everything has its stop, and there went our last day in Singapore, we went shopping in large supermarkets where you could find anything in this world. I bought some gifts for my friends and walked back to my hotel. Our flight was in the evening so I still got much time. I went out, rented a bike and rode around the city. The air was chill with breeze coming from the ocean.
Well, that was my experience, though it may be a bit boring for most but it's absorbing to me =))

Hi guys, today I would like to share with you an exotic place I've been to. A one-month trip to Auckland two years ago placed a sweet memory in my mind. This is the biggest city of New Zealand and definitely one of the most stunning places I have ever visited as a tourist.
Personally, I prefer peaceful places where I can enjoy the chilled weather rather than the sunny beaches. Auckland is my best destination! The tranquility there is the best remedy to help me get away from the rat race and recharge my energy.
One month in New Zealand enrich my knowledge about the culture of the locals. New Zealand welcome people of different nationalities so a collection of multi-culture is obviously seen in this beautiful city. Besides, I was amazed by how generous, hospitable and supportive the locals were.
It was a great experience and I will certainly come back Auckland one day.

When I was 13, I'd had the privilege of visiting many different countries. All with different cultures, aesthetic, different people and different environment. Out of the bunch though, I think Russia stood out to me the most. And it may be because I got to experienced a lot of "first" there.

Tet was fast approaching and while I didn't have many plans set up, my mom, on the other hand, thought it would be a genius idea to lead us around Europe! Partially to spend more time with family, and also to view the amazing scenery.

My mom, like the thoughtful mother she is, took me there during winter, and it was my first time witnessing little white drops from the sky fall down onto the ground. The whole experience was magical and breath-taking. Although I had to endure a 13-hour long flight, I’d say it was 100% worth it. Even in my sleep deprived state, I could still make out the beauty of the place. The streets were foreign, nothing felt familiar, which I presume is also part of the charm. Unfortunately, even the spectacular sights couldn't keep my eyes from shutting close, and I passed out.

Morning came, and I excitedly opened up my curtains to reveal: SNOW COVERED CAR ROOFS! It shouldn't have made me as hyped as it did, but I was beyond happy. Stepping outside was also another exciting thing. Even though I've been outdoors last night, I wasn't exactly in the right mind to comprehend how freezing it actually was. But holy cow, everything was stunning, the roads, the trees, the buildings, they were all covered under a pure white blanket. Left with no self-restraint, I reached out to grab a handful of snow in my hands. My joy was short-lived as my mom scolded at me because the snow was "too dirty". Didn't matter though, I was still extremely content with just being able to see, feel and hold the snow.

While in Russia, I've seen a lot of entertaining activities, I've even seen the marvelous palaces in Moscow. Even went to a ballerina play! Where they danced to perform a story, it was all absolutely stunning!

Everywhere, everything, they were all just oozing with culture! Ballet is a popular notable art originating from Russia. Especially after seeing it with my own eyes, I can definitely confirm Russian ballet is top-notched. Another thing I learnt is that they also created nesting dolls! Otherwise known as Russian dolls, if we want to keep it plain and simple. You know the type of dolls that can open up and reveal another smaller doll inside? Russia created those! Isn’t that bizarre?

Overall, Russia was an extremely memorable trip, I don't think I'll ever forget it. If you ever get the chance to, please do visit it!

I've visited numerous locations with breathtaking views. The cluster of three waterfalls: Dray Sap, Dray Nur, and Gia Long in Buon Ma Thuot, however, is the nicest thing I've ever seen there. On the most beautiful and spectacular Serepok river in Buon Ma Thuot, this cluster of three waterfalls is located. When I initially entered, I assumed it would be similar to other waterfalls, but I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it for myself. The powerful currents pouring from the waterfall created an extraordinarily creative white water scene; my only regret is that I wasn't able to come here when there was a rainbow,...
I plan to return here in the future to marvel at the magnificent bees.

_{"Travel opens your mind as few other things do. It is its own form of hypnotism, and I am forever under its spell" -}_{Libba Bray}

I don't know what people think, but in my view, hometown is the best destination to go. It is not somewhere far, but it is not near at all. We might know it well, but we might not discover all its nook and cranny. My hometown is in Nghe An, and I'm proud of it.

Because it is my hometown, so my family and I go to there once a year. That picture above was taken in our last trip on Tet holiday. Although I have gone back to my hometown many times, that was the first time I've been to Đồi chè in Thanh Chương, where my mom was born.

We set off at about 8 in the morning and arrived at 9am. As we all know, the Northern spring is freezing cold, so I had to wear 4 layers of sweater and jacket. But the cold couldn't prevent me from enjoying our trip. I had taken a lot of photos while we were on a boat to the main destination (it's like an island=))) Having got off the boat, I ran through the tea bushes, feeling the cool breeze (actually it was freezing cold) in my face, and striking some poses so that I could be a verdette in my mommi's photos=)))))

At there, I was showed how to plant and harvest a tea tree. It was a fun experience because I finally knew how fresh tea leaves turn into a healthy drink. Furthermore, they, the locals, sent us a pack of tea bags as a gift for visiting them, and of course, it tastes really nice.

I am really looking forward to our next trip because I miss my grandpapa and grand mama so much :<< I hope that Covid-19 will go away forever so that I can visit my grandparents and we can meet each other soon ^^

I think all of you have gone travelling many beautiful places so I don't have any special place to introduce except a little experiment from my Singapore trip.
I don't remember clearly when I travel to Singapore so I think... just on the summer vacation when I was grade 7.
I went to Singapore for 4 days with my family. We had wonderful time in Singapore and took many beautiful pictures. But now, it was disappeared.
It is the first time I have went to subway station and also the first time I traveled by subway =)))
I was impressed by the airport when the plane landed. I didn't able to describe my feeling at this time. So amazing ! The airport is enormous, maybe I lost. I went sightseeing to the NUS - the university is bigger than VietNam, Garden by the Bay which have musical fountain at the evening, really fantastic and fun, Chinese town, an old hill that you can sea all of Singapore. and some gorgeous places.
After the trip, I think I recognized that Singapore is not small !!! My legs were stiff but it so interesting =))) If I have second chance to come back Singapore, I will go again ~ People said Singapore was modern and it's right ! Although the artificial scenes, it so strange, gorgeous and... marvelous?
This was a chance for my family to enjoy together. I think the trip was wonderful and meaningful to me. I hope the pandemic will end quickly and my deadlines will be decreased so I can go travel many countries and places.

Many years ago, all of my family's destinations of choice were among the super popular tourist traps in Vietnam like Hoi An, Ha Noi, Da Nang,etc. My parents, my brother and I realized that so back in 2016, instead of going on a vacation in Da Nang, we decided that we would change the plan and headed straight to Ha Giang to enjoy the spectacular scenery of green mountains, winding rivers, flower valleys, serpentine roads, and the winding Nho Que river, which was an exotic place that we all expected to see the most.
Nho Que River is regarded as one of the most beautiful rivers in the flower country. It’s becoming legendary into poetry and a beautiful symbol of Ha Giang tourism. Nestled between the mountain of northeast of Vietnam, the river winding like green thread shimmering north from heaven. The length of 192 km, the river engraved name on 46 km across the strip of land in Vietnam, and flows through the rocky sloping limestone mountain of the global geological park system Dong Van stone. Proceeding through the canyon mountain, the river continues along the peak of Ma Phi Leng when it reaches Meo Vac. The Nho Que river carries a beautiful turquoise blue color. That shines through the bright green patches of the forest almost all seasons of the year, combining with the splendid beauty, lovely flowers which makes visitors travel to Ha Giang like me do not want to leave when being here.
What I have learned from the trip is, I think, the beauty of Vietnamese mountainous areas. Thanks to the trip to Ha Giang and had a chance to see such a majestic, picturesque scene like this, I have known more about how fanciful and wild rivers in the Northeast mountainous regions are.

Hello, I'm Huy, I've been to many places but the place that made the most impression on me is Cambodia .I went there in the summer of 6th grade. That trip, I went with my mother, sister, and mother's colleagues. On that day, I woke up very early to prepare to get on the bus to leave, to get to Cambodia we had to go through the border gate, just passed, I saw a lot of casinos on both sides of the road, then I stopped for lunch at a restaurant in the capital-Phnom Penh. Then we continued on our way to Bokor Plateau, ran a bit up the plateau, we could look over Phu Quoc Island and catch the phone signal of Vietnam despite being in Cambodia. Isn't that great? The higher we climbed, the more fog covered us, a bone-chilling cold but fortunately we arrived at the hotel and stayed there for a night. The next day we had a buffet at the hotel and went back to Sihanoukville city-where There are beautiful beaches. When we got there, we boarded a ship to go to an unknown island, where we were able to swim in the sea, the sea here has different blue, unlike Viet Nam's seas. After enjoying ourselves, we returned to a nearby hotel to rest. The next morning we returned to Phnom Penh. We went to the local market, where a lot of things were sold and the people were very friendly. We even happened to see a Vietnamese small merchant in that market. And I also got to visit a casino in the capital to visit, even though I could only watch it from the outside, I felt it was quite good and interesting. We went back to the hotel to rest and in the afternoon. We continued to visit. We went to the royal palace of Cambodia, the residence of the king of this country, where a lot of things are made of gold, silver, ivory, and also pictures of the history of the nation. Cambodia is painted on the walls. Also, Cambodian dishes are also delicious, so they will certainly not be difficult to eat. I enjoyed swimming in the sea and eating local food the most because it gives me unforgettable feelings. Through the trip, I learned more about the unique features of the cuisine, people, economy here, and its history as well. The next day, we have to go back and the trip is over. If you want to go abroad but near and cheap, Cambodia will be a very good choice.

If you wonder where I am going to write about, I will tell you this is a very famous place in Vietnam, a place known as the "city of bridges". You can probably guess where this is. That's Da Nang. But I’ll show you the 5-day trip to Da Nang-Hue of mine.

I’ve been to many foreign countries, but the places in Vietnam always impress me a lot. My family went there with my friends 2 years ago. And that was an amazing trip. Although there was a huge problem that the weather was boiling hot in the summer season! I nearly fainted when we were visiting the ancient citade:)). But in general, everything was great. The sandy beach, the antique buildings, temples were really marvellous. The food was delicious, too. I love all Vietnamese traditional specialties!!! Went on this trip, I had the opportunity to listen to the history of our country. But the story was not boring as the history lesson at school, when you can come and see the historical evidence with your own eyes, it’s more remarkable. Due to the limited of time, I could not visit all the tourist hotspots. And now I regret it. In the pandemic situation, we can’t go anywhere, I really miss the day that we can travel from here to there :((

A few years ago ( about 2-3 years ago), on the summer vacation, I had a trip to Da Lat with my dad and my older brother, my mom didn't go because she couldn't stand the smell of a bus' air conditioner for too long. When I first came there, my first impression was the really cold atmosphere in Da Lat. Never had I experienced such cold weather like that so I was kinda shocked. On the first day, we went to the mountain Langbiang. That was an extraordinary place. It was picturesque and the landscape was phenomenal. We stayed there for a while, taking lots of pictures, buying some souvenirs and then we went for lunch. In the afternoon, we went to learn more about some of the ethnic minorities there in Da Lat. We sat in a small room with a bunch of people, watching their traditional dances, eating their tradional food and learning really interesting information which I had never known before. On the second day which was also the last day of the trip, we went to a busy market to buy the famous Da Lat’s strawberries. Trust me, that was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, those strawberries were absolutely the best of the bests. After that, we went home. The trip didn’t last long and it was also exhausting, but on the whole, it was memorable and really fun. What a pity that my mom couldn’t join us ! ( Sorry i can't find any picture on my PC so i'll just post a random online pic )

One of the most exotic place I've ever been to must be the two week trip to England. The summer of 2016, my family and I went to England for the second time to attend my brother's graduation in Cambridge. It may sounds werid but I've been to England for 4 times.

From my experience, London's nightlife is my favourite part. With a variety of entertainments from the London Eye for a fun 30 minute ride to trying late night shopping at Westfield London or the most famous of all, traditional London pubs which I was still pretty young to go inside one but my brother told me it's very classic and warm with full of friendly Englishs who usually gather around and comment on football matches.

But during the day we prefer to stay in Cambridge. Everyday my brother would take us on a "university tour" which we just wander around all the colleges which are all part of the famous university - Cambridge University. But the most impressive one must be King College with its magnificent chapel. It's fun to try punting down the Cam river,too.

After the trip, I've learned a lots about its culture and spectacular cousines with such breathtaking views.Well thanks for reading.

In my opinion, India is the country that has the most impression on me. I had an opportunity to visit this nation on a very special occasion with my family 2 years ago. We went on a tour organized by a pagoda near my house in order to explore some famous places which the Buddha used to live there such as Taj Mahal, Mahabodhi (Bo De Dao Trang), Sanarth (Loc Uyen garden), esp. Hang River - the sacred river of the Indian. When we walked along the river, we could see people burn the dead bodies outdoors and also the bodies floating in it as their family don’t have enough money to buy woods to burn them. Additionally, we could easily see the differences between the urban and the rural areas. For example, the traffic here is chaotic and seems like there are only men but hardly any women, esp. in crowded cities. But in the country, there are so many women and children. The houses there are only made of soil and there are no electricity and also street lights. Besides, the Indian were very hospitable, but you need to be careful while buying things: whether you’re at markets or in any tourist attractions here, you always have to make a bargain (because they see you are tourists =]]). Most Indian are vegetarian and because they worship the cows, they never eat beef and just drink milk. If possible, you should come there once to see how India and its people manage their lives.

Hi guys! Today I will talk about an exotic place I have been to and It’s called Bidoup - Nui Ba National Park.

It was in the spring of 2019 when me and my classmates when to Bidoup - Nui Ba National Park, which is situated about 35km from Da Lat.

I feel lucky that I didn’t miss the chance to go to park. We stayed at some villas in the pine forest in the park. The views and the atmosphere there was incredible. Bidoup was such a heaven of breathtaking scenry: waterfall, thick forest, lake,… I love the scenery there so much!!

The most impressive part of the trip was when we made a campfire with the K’ho ethnic minority people at night. After that, we ate some delicious grilled meat skewers and watched the K’ho performing the gong dance around the campfire. That was one of the most glorious scenery in my life and I will never forget it…

Hope that the pandemic will end soon so I can come back to Bidoup.

Hi guys, today I will talk about the exotic place I have been to. In Vietnam, there are a lot of famous and beautiful places; however, I am very fond of Da Lat.

My family went on vacation to Da Lat, in Lam Dong province. The land is known as the city of thousands of flowers, the city of dreams. Da Lat has breathtaking sceneries here. I had a lot of time to visit and explored the fascinating sites of this land. Da Lat is a highland city because it is surrounded by many majestic and beautiful mountains.

Coming to Da Lat, we were able to see a lot of pine hills, with winding, zigzag and dangerous roads. We should visit the valleys because there are many beautiful flowers, with shimmering petals, and a year-round love tree that is red by pink threads tied to it. In addition, Da Lat is the best place for people who like to sleep like me.

I look forward to having a trip to Dalat again, especially I hope we will go together.

Due to the pademic, I haven’t been traveling for about 2 years ( I absolutely feel upset but in the other hand I think we should look on a bright side cuz everything will be ok and we can go everywhere with your friends, your family, for instance). Fortunately, before the world has faced up to the Covid-19, I had a trip to go to Phan Thiet - a gorgeous city in our country. I went to that tourist attraction with my family in the summer when I was 13 years old.

The trip lasted 3 days and 2 nights, we wanted to stayed here for a longer time but my dad had to go to work. That was a self-planned tour because we didn’t want to follow a schedule or had a plan beforehand. We were looking forward to having time to relax after a long time working hard so when we were in Phan Thiet, we essentially enjoyed the atmosphere there and of course eating either.

The first day of our journey, we set off very soon at 6 and then went on a 4-hour driving from HCM to Phan Thiet. To be honest, I loved the time we swimming together in the beach most. The atmosphere on the beach were very fresh and sunny at that time. And I taught my mother how to swim too, it kinda fun and we were all happy. With other people, it could be normal but to my mind, my family and I rarely went travelling together because we were so busy with work, or study,etc… so we had difficulty in arranging a suitable timetable for a trip together. After that, we decided to go to the Poshanu Cham Tower- this is a group of temple of the ancient Kingdom of Champa that still remains until now.- We took a lot of pictures there, unfortunately, our camera was broken but it’s not worth because all of the beautiful memories have borne in our mind.

We stayed in a resort with a lot of Russian, the thing that made I confused most was that they couldn’t speak English. They could just say “ hello” and “ goodbye”. So I couldn’t communicate with other travellers in that resort during my trip, it a litlle bit sad, but after that I realised that if we have an oppurtunity to learn a new languge, try your best.

I really loved the seafood there too. We ate a lot and after that trip, I gained 1 weight ( but I didn’t care about it.)

In the end, I had a great time from dusk till dawn when we stayed in Phan Thiet. When we are given permission to travel again, certainly we will come back to Phan Thiet
