Exploring Vietnam in 6 Days Featuring ( Hanoi, Sapa, Fansipan, Ba Na Hills and Hoian )
My boyfriend and I decided to take a trip to Vietnam to commemorate special occasions! So I’ll tell you about the places we went for 6 days in this amazing country!
On the night of December 18, 2019, we arrived in Noi Bai International Airport. A cab driver had already been waiting for us at the arrival gate from the airport, which we had pre-booked. We stayed at a pleasant hostel ($9/night) in the old area, close to a variety of restaurants and tourist attractions.
Day 1 -Hanoi Day Trip
We visited some places such as;
📍Ngoc Son Temple and Park
📍Train Street
We took a night train to Lao Cai, then a van to Sapa, after a day tour in Hanoi. The train costs $24, the van costs $5, and our guesthouse costs another $5.
Day 2 Sapa, Vietnam
📍Surelee Homestay – I highly recommend you to stay at Surelee Homestay in Hmong Village since she and her family are amazing hosts who treated us well and were always willing to help us. They have a gorgeous home, and our room was perfect and cozy, with an amazing view. They also provide trips such as visiting local tribes/villages, trekking, and hiking. PS. The only disadvantage of staying in the village is that if you need to go to the center, a taxi will charge you $20 back and forth and it takes 30 minutes to get there because of the roller coaster roads and it becomes even more dangerous if it is foggy and misty and you can’t see the way so I salute the drivers at this place.

Day 3 Fansipan Peak
The highest mountain in Indochina. It’s also called as the Rooftop of Indochina.
Day 4 Sapa – Hanoi by Bus ( Saoviet Tour $27 for 2 persons in one cabin ) 5 hours journey
We arrived in Hanoi around 16:00 and flew to Da Nang that evening on Vietjet Airlines. $26
Day 5 Ba Na Hills, Da Nang
We booked our tour on klook for $11 for the round-trip shared shuttle bus and $38 for the admission ticket plus lunch buffet in Ba na Hills ( per person )
After a day trip to the Ba Na Hills, we returned to Da Nang by taxi at an additional cost, which I was not happy about because we arrived late to the meeting point and the bus had already left. At 18:00, we left for Hoian, which is only 30 minutes by car from Da Nang City. We booked our taxi on klook for $13 USD, which is significantly less expensive than hailing a taxi on the street.
Day 6 Hoian
📍Sunrise Homestay $27 located in the ancient town and near to many restaurants and shops
My Birthday
My boyfriend surprised me with a dinner cruise.
The cruise lasted three hours, and the view of the lake in Hoian was breathtaking, especially at sunset; it was romantic and wonderful! Check out their website if you want to book a cruise.
I can say Vietnam is one of the most beautiful countries you should visit in Asia.
Overall, we spent $533 per person on this trip, which included flights, transportation, lodging, tours, food, souvenirs, and other personal expenses.
Be wary of scammers and thieves, and always keep an eye on your belongings and keep them close to you. Have a safe trip to Vietnam and enjoy the pips!!!!
Introduce Yourself (Example Post)
This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.
You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
- Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
- Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
- Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
- What topics do you think you’ll write about?
- Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
- If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
