Walk Vietnam’s most iconic bridge
Want to feel like you’re skipping through clouds on a golden ribbon? See the Golden Bridge, which you’ve no doubt already admired online. The 150-metre-long bridge, which has two giant hands holding the walkway, has inspired many imitations worldwide. Most recently, Ian Markiewicz − visual effects supervisor for the Netflix series “The Sandman”, based on the Neil Gaiman comics – said the bridge in the opening scenes was inspired by the Golden Bridge.
Note: This architectural marvel gets busy. To capture a shot without other tourists in sight, go early.

Tour the beautiful gardens
Want to take a romantic stroll among landscaped gardens? Hop on the one-of-a-kind funicular to get to Le Jardin d´amour. It comprises nine different gardens designed in different styles. There’s a garden maze, a giant chessboard, and loads of hedges, balustrades and blooms for capturing beautiful pictures.
Enjoy thrilling entertainment
Kids (and adults alike) can get their kicks at the enormous Fantasy Park entertainment area, divided into three floors. Enjoy the video arcades on Level One (‘Thrill Zone’), where you can also walk through the mirror maze or ride the bumper cars. Watch a film at the 3D, 4D and 5D cinemas on Level Two (‘Spirit of Adventure’). Alternatively, there’s a 3D, 360-degree mega-cinema on Level Three (‘Mystery World’), for an immersive experience. Looking for a real thrill? Brave the 29-metre drop-and-twist tower – a ride that’s not for the faint of heart. It was inspired by two classic adventure novels − “Journey to the Center of the Earth” and “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea”− so the whole ride feels like coursing through a story full of surprises. Another fun one is the outdoor Alpine Coaster, a roller-coaster with brakes that you can ride slowly or leave to race up to 40km/h.
Marvel at the figures in the wax museum
Admire the work of Italian artists at the Wax Museum, where you’ll see hyper-realistic wax figures of celebrities from many fields, such as sport and entertainment. Pose for a picture with singer Taylor Swift, former US President Obama, footballer David Beckham, martial art legend Bruce Lee, and others. They may not be real people, but they certainly look like them. In addition, you’ll learn about the painstaking process of creating these lifelike figures.
See the spiritual sites
Vietnam is synonymous with spiritual structures adorning mountain tops. Catch your breath away from the crowds at the Linh Ung Pagoda. At 1,500 metres above sea level, it offers fantastic views. It also boasts one of the biggest Buddha statues in the land, which sits serenely on a five-metre wide circular base, and is 27 metres tall.
