2025 Kim Bang Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

❤️ Tam Chuc - Ha Nam: The temple is both massive and chill - Extremely spacious space, with a super large, airy motorbike/car parking lot - My family of 10 people bought the most economical train ticket at 100k/person - The train stops at a small temple for a while, then goes straight to the main temple area (go up the stairs and it seems like there are 3 main temples). The train is extremely chill, everyone, goes at a moderate speed, especially the lake has a lot of fish swimming around, very pleasing to the eye. - When going out, my family took the electric car, the distance is quite far because it goes in a circle. However, after climbing the stairs, riding the electric car is extremely cool
