Mui Ne: Escape the Crowds and Enjoy the Tranquility of Southern Vietnam's Coastline!

For this trip to Vietnam, I specifically chose to visit the lesser-known coastal town of Mui Ne to experience a more laid-back vibe compared to Da Nang. There are indeed fewer tourists here, allowing for a peaceful vacation. However, there was a little hiccup with the beach! 😅 🏨 Stay at Mường Thanh Holiday Mui Ne Hotel: A Comfortable and Affordable Choice! I stayed at the Mường Thanh Holiday Mui Ne Hotel, which offers great value for money! The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with complete facilities, and the staff is very friendly. The hotel also has a beautiful pool where you can relax and unwind. While it’s not a top-tier luxury hotel, it’s definitely a great option for those on a budget who still want a comfortable stay! 👍 🚶♀️ Enjoy the Serenity: Few Tourists Here! Compared to Da Nang or Nha Trang, Mui Ne has significantly fewer tourists! Whether walking along the streets, lounging by the hotel pool, or relaxing on the beach, you can truly feel the rare tranquility. If you’re like me and prefer to avoid crowds and enjoy a genuinely relaxing vacation, Mui Ne is a place where you’ll feel at ease. 😌 🏖️ Mui Ne Beach: A Bit of Disappointment, but Still Scenic! Speaking of Mui Ne Beach, it does have its unique charm, especially during sunset when the scenery is stunning! 🌅 However, to be honest, the beach environment is a bit lacking, with some areas having litter and not being very clean. It was a bit disappointing, but if you don’t mind this or plan to spend most of your time at the hotel pool, it’s still acceptable. 🏜️ Beyond the Beach, Mui Ne Offers These: White Sand Dunes and Red Sand Dunes: Iconic landmarks of Mui Ne! Visit during early morning or late afternoon for breathtaking views, and try activities like dune buggies and sandboarding for an adrenaline rush! 🚗 Fishing Village: Experience the authentic life of Mui Ne’s fishermen. Visit in the morning to see the bustling return of fishing boats. Fairy Stream: A red-colored stream carved by erosion. Walking barefoot through it is a unique experience, with distinctive rock formations on both sides. 💖 Tips for Visiting Mui Ne: Transportation: You can take a sleeper bus from Ho Chi Minh City to Mui Ne, which takes about 5-6 hours. Activities: It’s recommended to hire a car or join a half-day tour to conveniently explore the sand dunes, fishing village, and Fairy Stream. Sun Protection: The sun in Mui Ne is intense, so make sure to take proper sun protection measures! Manage Expectations: Lower your expectations regarding the cleanliness of the beach and focus more on enjoying the laid-back atmosphere and other natural attractions. If you’re looking for a relatively off-the-beaten-path and less commercialized destination to unwind, Mui Ne might just be the perfect choice. Escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy your own slice of coastal tranquility! 💖

Huanglong National Scenic Area

Huanglong Scenic Area, located in Songpan County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, is a renowned World Natural Heritage Site in China. In winter, Huanglong's crystal-clear waters intertwine with the snow, creating a dreamlike, fairytale-like atmosphere. The scenic area blends alpine snowscapes, limestone terraces, and ancient Tibetan and Qiang culture, leaving every corner captivating. Winter is particularly popular, as fewer visitors allow for a tranquil experience of natural beauty, making it a perfect destination for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts. Recommended Itinerary: It is generally recommended to enter the area at 8:00 AM, the morning opening time, and follow the main trail. First, take the Huanglong Scenic Area Cableway directly to the summit (55 Pingsong Road). This will save energy, and especially in winter, it's recommended to avoid long walks through the snow. Enjoy the magnificent snow scenery along the cableway. Upon arrival, walk to the core attraction, the Five-Colored Pond Observation Deck (Huanglong Scenic Area Five-Colored Pond), to admire the plateau scenery and Huanglong's uniquely colored pools. The snow-capped poolside creates a magical and captivating experience, making it a must-see. Finally, descend the mountain along the main trail, stopping to admire the travertine waterfalls, spiral pools, and emerald pools along the way. Must-see attractions & photo spots: 1. Huanglong Five-Colored Pools: Under the winter snow, the colors of the Five-Colored Pools are even more vibrant, and the lake surface resembles emerald snow, creating a stunning photo opportunity. 2. Huanglong Cableway: Take the cableway for a bird's-eye view of the entire snowy valley, enjoying a unique perspective and excellent photo opportunities along the way. 3. Natural Scenic Spots, Such as Travertine Waterfalls and Spiral Pools: There are many beautiful scenic spots along the way, so you can stop and take photos at any time. Tips: 1. Huanglong is at a high altitude (approximately 3,000 meters). It is recommended to start training a week in advance, bring anti-altitude sickness medication, get enough rest, and avoid strenuous exercise. 2. Winter temperatures are low, and the temperature difference on the mountain is significant. Please prepare a down jacket, hat, gloves, and other warm clothing. Ski boots are essential to avoid falls on the snow. 3. Maintain your energy: If you have limited stamina, take the cable car up the mountain. Walking down is a more relaxing option. 4. Smoking and open flames are prohibited throughout the scenic area. Please observe these regulations. 5. It is recommended to enter the mountain in the morning, as it gets dark early in winter. Returning in the afternoon is safer. Notes: - Tickets are 170 yuan per person purchased on-site. Reserving in advance can save time. - Opening hours are 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM (last admission at 4:00 PM) from August 4th to October 31st, and 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM (last admission at 4:00 PM) from November 1st to May 31st (the following year). Please choose a suitable time to visit based on the season. - Signal reception may be poor in the mountains, so it is recommended to check transportation information and routes in advance to avoid delays. Huanglong in winter is magnificent and magical. In addition to breathing in the pure plateau air, you can also enjoy the most natural blend of colors, a breathtaking sight not to be missed in western Sichuan. Whether you're a photography, mountaineering, or cultural enthusiast, this place promises unforgettable memories!
