HO MAY
"We had a look at the lighthouse, the Christ Statue, the beaches and just enjoyed it! After our tour we lay down on the beach, this was great. In the evening we went out to eat at a super nice restaurant on the water with all Vietnamese. It was so busy and it was just Tuesday! Delicious fish eaten really delicious! After dinner we went back to the hotel."

All of the mentioned above is free, but one animal communication is paid (10,000 dong) and it is worth it. Arapaima with a fish with a bait attached is next to a lake with fish, you can cast a rod and lure the largest freshwater fish in the world (as written on a poster by the lake). The impression of a two-meter monster floating on the surface is unforgettable.
The daredevils can try the zip line. The zip line equipment is checked every day and helmets are handed out for those who want to get off.
Another interesting place with images - "Lovers' Park", stylized as a biblical storyline. Surrounded by exotic flowers, Adam and Eve stand under a tree covered with vines.
