Finally, we arrived Halong Bay
a world heritage site regconized by UNESCO in 1994
Explore Dau Go Cave, Thien Cung Grotto,
round over
Tuan Chau Island, Dinh Huong Island, Ga Choi Island and Sail Island

we booked the one whole ship
Lunch of fresh seafood is served on board

nothing to do in the ship
so juz went to the deck
took some pictures
scenery

along the sail....there are people selling fruits through boat by boat..

Looks like going to have WAR
u know what?
I said WAR !!!!

At night we're going to Hanoi Railway station
for train night to Sapa
380km Northwest of Hanoi
Sapa, 1,650meters above sea level, famous for its pristine environment,
unparalleled scenery and cool climate

Travelling on the train with sleeping berth journeying to Lao Cai

***************************************************************************

The next day, meaning the 3rd day
arrive Lao Cai

This is the Victoria Express where I slept in it.

8hrs ride from Hanoi to Lao Cai

That cousin really like to "kiss"
but from mine sure run
muahahha^^

on the way, up up the moutain to Sapa

the scenery really really freaky nice

Lunch time again..
Royal View Hotel
having our buffet lunch
on top of the mountain
surely makan with sightseeing
hahaha...but that time really cold
just like Cameron Highland

Continue our bus ride
going up somemore
higher & higher & higher
till we arrive to a small town
with huge lake
totally different from Hanoi
no 'pupu' motor noise
no 'popo' car noise
juz peaceful relax place
alot of French staying around

Sapa, a former French hill resort and home to some of Vietnam's most colourful ethic groups


& here my paradise....Victoria Hotel
4 stars Hotel
the best on the mountain

View that see through from my room


This is my room in Victoria Hotel
Evening, visit some of nearby hill tribe villages

my uncle & aunt got lost in this place

after they went to the toilet

they went wrong way
to the other mountain pathway
I run and call like CRAZY guy around the mountain
nearly faint....fui....

**************************************************************************

4th day, morning call 6am Vietnam time
breakfast buffet in Victoria Hotel
delicious food..yam yam
P/S: sorry no photo taken while having breakfast and the food
no time to take
got time to eat
hahahaha

After our breakfast, we came to a 'horrible', 'terrible' & 'vegetable' place
that is Coc Ly market
firstly we thought just market so nothing to worry
tour guide say 2 and half hour will arrive the market
in the end, tak boleh tahan
took 4 hrs to arrive and u see wat kind of place we arrive
sandy, muddy, hotty place...
cry ~~~T.T

we have to walk some more
he said very near already
only 7mins walk will reach the market
we walked & walked & walked
betul ke ni....
7mins or 70mins
we walked for half an hour only reach the market
ish....panas betul!!!

so this is the market.....
things the sell not much different we saw in town
gosh....
took so long hrs to see this kind of market
sure bo....
what to do...already here
so try to 'enjoy it'

some already complaining why here why there
but think about it
maybe this place no many people go
but they use this opportunity to bring people to their market
their purpose is to earning money, to get more people come to their place
in a word, they are poor...so have to get people in there
to buy their things
for their living

After enjoying the "market"
is time to go back to downhill
not by bus but boat

along the boat ride

then we stopped by in a village
the people here
every 6yrs they will shifted their house to other place
maybe higher area or lower area

here we are
the border between Vietnam - China
only on bridge crossover
u will be in China

Vietnam

China

this is the bridge...where connect Vietnam-China
