I: Entertainment Section
1.1 (Pic 1-2) Highly recommend the mud bath and herbal bath at I-resort. You can buy a package, it’s suggested to go after lunch around 1 PM, you can also have lunch there, as the place clears out at 5 PM. But just soaking in various baths and rinsing (taking photos📷) will take 1-1.

5 hours, so reserve that time. This place is huge, with three or four large hot spring pools. The mud and herbal baths are very clean, as they fill and adjust the water temperature on the spot based on your chosen location, not one after another. After soaking, there are shuttle buses to the dining area and many water park attractions, which will likely take over 2 hours, so it’s recommended to go early.

Prices vary depending on the package, but there are no hidden costs, as is the consistent Vietnamese virtue. Just go, and you’ll thank me.

1.2 Pic 3-4 shows the more popular Po Nagar Tower on the way to I-resort. Honestly, don’t waste too much time here. It’s suggested to go around 10 AM for photos, then have lunch and head to I-resort.

II: Endless Vietnamese Cuisine
2.1 I won’t particularly recommend Pho, as there are too many good ones. Any with a 4.5 rating or above on a certain map app haven’t disappointed, generally priced between 15-30 RMB, depending on whether you want everything added.
2.2 Pic 5 An Thoi, delicious Vietnamese fish noodles, mixed noodles, snacks, etc.

, reasonably priced, slightly more expensive than street stalls, often crowded, sometimes requiring a queue.
2.3 Pic 6-7, Nem Ninh Qua, super tasty and fun Vietnamese spring rolls recommended by locals. You wrap them yourself (the owner will show you how), the meat is freshly cooked. I personally love this kind of DIY, tasty, and healthy food.

Highly recommend trying the lotus leaf-wrapped meat. This place is also very cost-effective, ordering a lot ended up costing around 60 RMB.
2.4 Pic 8 Com Ga Ha Ngo Gia Tu, very authentic, hygienic, tasty, and high-value chicken rice. The chicken offal salad is also good. For about 30 RMB, you can eat until you’re full.

2.5 Pic 9 Internet-famous Banh Mi Phan, nothing much to say, generous filling, delicious, and very cheap, around 10 RMB for the cheapest, with plenty of cheese and meat. The baguette itself is also very tasty.
2.6 Pic 10-11, highly recommend a Korean BBQ restaurant called Veteran. Slightly pricier, but side dishes are unlimited.

Ordering meat comes with a large serving of fried eggs, side dishes, meat, and fried rice. The quality is excellent. I’ve never had such good BBQ at this price even in Korea, and the environment is great. It costs around 150-200 RMB per person. If you order sea shrimp, they grill it and then cut the meat out for you, almost feeding it to you!

2.7 Pic 12 Avocado + milk ice cream + durian and coconut shreds, imagine it yourself.
I’ve eaten all these foods more than twice, and I love them.
