✨Hotel points😍 The owner is kind, the staff is full of hospitality🥰 Clean👍 The food is delicious☘️ In the middle of nature ♨️ Facility introduction 🏊 Pool🍽️ Restaurant📦 Luggage storage 🛁 Room introduction I could choose between a room with a brick wall courtyard view (2nd floor) and a white room with an outer courtyard view (1st floor). 🍽️ Stayed without breakfast 🛎️ Service🎫 Ticket, tour arrangement 💗 Impressions of the stay When I left, I wanted to come back and stay longer. There are only two small shops and a hotel in the surrounding area, but this bungalow is so comfortable that I don't feel the need to go outside much. ☘️ You can apply for cave tours, canoe tours, etc. here, and they bought me a bus ticket when I moved from Hue. The bus from Hue to Phong Na departed next to Hue's train station, but I think the station may change depending on where you are going. The bus arrived about 10 minutes early and was already picking up other passengers. The driver got off, checked the tickets, put our luggage under the bus, got on and departed. It was pretty quick. 😳 I was really glad that the owner of An An Homestay Bungalow had booked the tickets and even paid for them. If you plan to travel by bus, I recommend that you check your schedule carefully. There are regular and deluxe buses, and I chose the deluxe. The ride takes 4 hours from Hoi An. The seats are comfortable and have beds that you can lie down on👍 For toilet breaks, they stop at a place like a drive-in. It's not the same route, so it's not definitive, but when I took a regular bus from Hoi An to Hue, the toilet was in a field😅 The staff at An An Homestay Bungalow are all relatives and everyone is kind. We also have a dog called Kiwi. 🐕 My husband can speak English, but the others only speak Vietnamese, so the translation software was useful. That's all This is a biased impression, but I think I was able to convey how comfortable it was. I rely on my husband (mainly his wife). ^_^ I hope you all enjoy your time in Vietnam 🇻🇳👍

Located in Quang Binh, Phong Nha Ke Bang is not an easy journey for travelers, but if you dare, try it. A beautiful cave experience

#hiddengems Explore the beauty of Phong Nha, a place where numerous caves are located. Many activities, be it a family-friendly one or an adventurous one, can be found here. One of the most famous for backpackers are Son Doong Cave trekking which is always fully booked for the upcoming years as it is the largest cave in the world and extreme physical condition is required. The cave shown in the pictures is Paradise cave, a common tourist spot for locals and families. It definitely has the best cave landscape I’ve ever seen. Come visit. Location: Paradise Cave, Quang Binh Vietnam Opening time: 07:00-16:00

Please include Phong Nha in your itinerary. Paradise Cave is one of the most beautiful cave that i have ever visited (Thank me later)

Once you've been to the caves of Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, you may not be able to experience anything new and moving from another cave. We headed to the national park on a tour from Dong Hoi. We crossed a bridge so narrow that two vehicles could not pass each other while listening to the horns unique to Vietnam, and I was a little worried when I arrived at the tourist town, but we headed to the cave on a boat, feeling the pleasant breeze, and the first sight we saw was amazing. Inside the cave, there are even stairs made from stalactites that you can touch with your hands, so I definitely recommend you experience this moving experience. #0yentravel

My next trip for 2025 is Vietnam

A peaceful homestay along the river. Looking around the town, there are a lot of Western tourists. It's a great place to read, have coffee, or beer while watching the river at dusk. When the flow is gentle, dive into the river. I rented a SUP and slowly floated down the river in the morning. For breakfast, you can choose from four types of food: banh mi, pho, Vietnamese fried noodles, and banana cake (6 types of drinks are free at breakfast). You can also order dinner at the homestay. You can also rent a bicycle or motorbike and find vegetarian restaurants and local restaurants. Also, I recommend... there is a Winmart (convenience store) in front of the ticket center for the Phong Nha Cave Cruise, a World Heritage Site. I recommend stocking up on beer!

Business hours are 9:00-16:00. To visit both, you need to go to one of them first thing in the morning. The distance between the two is about 40km. It takes time because you have to walk quite a bit in each place. You can get around by taxi, tour, and many Westerners travel by motorbike. Price per person: 1. Heaven Cave 270,000vnd (1,300 yen) Includes bus fare from the parking lot to the entrance Climb 570m from the entrance (water required + shoes recommended) 2. Phong Nha Cave Cruise 12 people about 800 yen Purchase tickets at the ticket office. High difficulty. However, it is cheaper if you take the MAX boat with other passengers. About 7,500 yen for two people. #tourism

Duck experience is the main tourist attraction, but I recommend water buffalo!

Take a trip down into one of the largest cave systems in the world. Phong Nha National Park is one of the many wonders of Viet Nam. We had the privilege of just doing that and highly recommend you add it to your to do list. The cave systems that are open to the public are very well built with proper stairways and pathways. Park areas are also very clean and have decent toilets. My personal highlight was witnessing the strength of Vietnamese locals who paddle up to 10 or more people down a 1km cave system without breaking a sweat! impressive to say the least. Highly recommend Getting There - Day Tours from DongHoi, Grab/Taxi， Rentals Attractions - Paradise Cave, Phong Nha Cave, Dark Caves Price - Day Tours starts at VND1.100.000 per pax inclusive of lunch, park fees and hotel pick up. Park fees for each cave system starts at VND150.000 to VND 250.000. #localguides #freehotelstay #phongnhakebang

For those who are looking for a unique and natural travel destination rather than a common tourist destination, I highly recommend Phong Nha Ke Bang! It is a national park with over 300 caves and the second largest karst landform in the world in Quang Binh, North Central Vietnam. Somewhere between unspoiled nature, countryside, and tourism, here are some recommendations from this truly charming area. 1. Phong Nha Cave The closest cave that can be reached by foot from downtown Phong Nha Ke Bang, it is the smallest but the best place to taste! Entrance fee 150,000 dong + boat fare 50,000-550,000 dong 2. Paradise Cave It is much larger than Phong Nha Cave and is divided into 1km exploration and 7km exploration courses. Entrance fee 250,000 dong 3. Dark Cave As the name suggests, it is an incredibly dark cave. Unlike other caves, it has natural mud. There are three different price ranges for different experiences, but I recommend the most expensive course! Full course (zipline + cave exploration + natural mud + kayak) 400,000 dong 4. Botanical Garden Contrary to its name, it is a fairly difficult hiking course, and you can enjoy unspoiled natural waterfalls and nature. Entrance fee 40,000 dong 5. Duck Stop A place where you can feed ducks and have fun experiences! I thought it was for kids… Adults have more fun here Experience and dinner 100,000 VND #Vietnam travel #Hot place #Overseas travel

Here is Phong Nha Cave, a rising tourist destination in Vietnam! Phong Nha Cave is located in Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park in central Vietnam This limestone karst terrain is widely known for having about 300 limestone caves! It is a place that is just starting to become popular in Korea, but it seems to be already widely known in the West. Anyway, we visited the famous “Phong Nha Cave” among the 300 caves. You can enjoy it leisurely by paying the boat fare and entrance fee without a separate tour! I will write the price information below. This is a place with truly captivating vast nature! I highly recommend it Address J874+3FG, ĐT20, Son Trach, Bố Trach, Quảng Bình How to enter the cave If you go to the above address, you can join a group of up to 12 people and take a boat. Boat fare: 550,000 VND (1/N discount depending on the number of people) Entrance fee: 150,000 VND Time required From the boat station > to the cave, it takes about 20 minutes one way Exploring the inside of the cave: It takes about 30-40 minutes Total estimated time is 1 hour 30 minutes - 2 hours #Vietnam travel #Phong Nha Ke Bang #Vietnam hot place
