In Nha Trang city, you can take bus No. 4 to Pearl Island. After breakfast, we looked for the bus stop based on the obvious buildings we saw in other travel notes. But when we got there, we saw the bus stop sign, but we could wait. I didn't see a bus passing by for a while. With

Nha Trang, a leisure and noisy tourist city.

On February 20, 2018, I was lost in Pearl Island Paradise.

Today’s highlight is Vinpearl Land (Pearl Island, also known as Bamboo Island, is named after the resort hotel on the island. There is a huge theme park on the island, which is a paradise for urchins and children). In Nha Trang city, you can take bus No. 4 to Pearl Island. After breakfast, we looked for the bus stop based on the obvious buildings we saw in other travel notes. But when we got there, we saw the bus stop sign, but we could wait. I didn't see a bus passing by for a while. With a good attitude of not being ashamed to ask, I asked the locals passing by the roadside to find out that the No. 4 bus does not pass here now, but passes through another street, and told me how to get there. past.

The bus stop signs in Vietnam are all like this. They are very small and the location is not obvious. The Vietnamese on them is incomprehensible. After waiting for more than ten minutes, the No. 4 bus finally arrived. Although it is known as the tourist city with the most Chinese tourists (compared to other places in Vietnam), when I got off the bus, I found that the people taking the bus here were all locals or people from other countries. We were the only two Chinese on the bus. No wonder I always see the media saying that Chinese people are rich online. Sure enough, most Chinese people visiting here take taxis.

Pearl Island requires tickets. We booked tickets in advance on Fliggy the night before. When we get there, we can redeem tickets at the ticket window with our order number. There is a map of the scenic spot next to the ticket window, in English and Vietnamese, so you have to read it clearly when taking it. Scenic spots seem to be the same everywhere, there are always many people, and after exchanging tickets, a long queue has already formed at the entrance. There are two ways to get to the island: cable car or speed boat.

We chose the cable car to land on the island. The perspective of sitting on the cable car overlooking the scenery is quite unique.

As the cable car approached, I finally saw the legendary castle.

Before I came here, I excluded the four-island tour and diving because I saw this kind of scenery in other travel notes. I chose this one, so this scenery is the longest we stayed here. We looked for various angles. Posing in various poses and posing for photos.

Pearl Island is actually a Happy Valley, but it is built on an island. There is a small zoo, birds and flowers, plants/museums, speed control slides, a large Ferris wheel, and of course a water park, suitable for people of all ages. But we only came here to see the scenery and didn’t play any of the items, which was a pity when we thought about it later.

Passing by a zoo, I saw a staff member feeding melon seeds to the birds and letting the birds stay on him. It was quite interesting to watch, and I also experienced it myself.

Leave the zoo and walk back to the main road. From this position, you can see the entire Pearl Island below.

At this time, snowflakes are still falling in many places in China, but here it is a scene of blooming flowers and scorching summer.

As mentioned before, this is actually a resort hotel, and the area seen from a distance is the resort. The orange-red and white house is the hotel in the village. Tourists staying here do not need to buy additional tickets. You can enter and exit unlimited times with the card in the hotel, and you can also enjoy the projects inside for free, so if you want to spend two more days here, staying there is a good choice. Of course, the price of staying there is also quite good. I don't know the exact number.

After admiring the tulips enough, we walked towards the castle. While listening to the radio, it was said that the dolphin show was about to begin. Although I had already seen the dolphin show in China, since I was here, the time was just right, so I went in to join in the fun.

Come out of the dolphinarium and walk along the beach. Sunshine, beach, coconut trees, , blue sky, white clouds, walking among them is really pleasant.

raised his head and looked at it affectionately, thinking about when it would fall down and let us quench our thirst.

This is also the Spring Festival in Vietnam, and there are catwalk performances in the square. Before coming to Vietnam, I told Shirley that I wanted to buy a set of Vietnamese Ao Dai . When I was shopping in Hanoi, I also went into some stores to look at them, but I saw that the fabrics were very poor. The most important thing is that I am a rational consumer. Or, Ao Dai can be worn here, but when I return to China, there is no chance to wear it, so I didn’t buy it until the end, and I didn’t even try it on.

There were relatively few people queuing up to take the cable car on the return trip. I went out to the entrance of the scenic spot around 5pm, thinking it was still early and I could take the bus back to the city. However, I didn’t see the bus for a long time where I got off the bus in the morning. I was afraid it would be like the morning again. The place where we get on the bus has been changed. We asked several staff at the parking lot of the scenic area, and they all told us to wait there. There were some Europeans and Americans waiting with us. Finally, we finally waited for the No. 4 bus, but... …When everyone got off the bus and we were about to get on, the driver kicked us all out. Then he closed the door, stepped on the accelerator, and left, leaving us with puzzled faces. Later I found out that the No. 4 bus was off duty, and the bus just now was already the last one. I heard in the morning that Vietnamese people are very comfortable and content with the status quo. I didn't expect that their life is so lazy. It's only half past five. We often say that we rest at sunset, but the sun hasn't set yet! The distance here is still quite far, more than five kilometers. The motorcycle and taxi drivers next to us kept asking us if we wanted to take a taxi. Taking a taxi said it would cost 150,000 VND.. In the end, we chose to take a motorcycle, which cost 80,000 VND/2 people. .

According to the original itinerary plan, if we rushed back to the city before five o'clock, we would rush to Zhongzhi Cape to watch the sunset. When we returned to the city, the sun had already set and we didn't see the sunset. We walked around the city, which is so good in Vietnam. I have been on the road every day for a few days, and it is rare to have this time today. When I came back, I passed by a famous Vietnamese restaurant. I saw the menu at the door and thought it was OK. There were many people queuing at the door, most of them Chinese. Thinking that it was early and it was very close to the B&B where we were staying, we might as well go back and take a shower before coming out. There should not be that many people there by then. After we finished it, when we went in and sat down to place an order, we were told that the dish I ordered was not available now and would only be available in the morning. Nani, this was still the case. But looking at what was currently available, we didn’t want to try it, so we could only smile apologetically to the waiter and leave the internet celebrity store.

finally got the baguette that he had been longing for. The taste is average and not as delicious as expected. It is actually just a loaf of toasted bread, cut in the middle, and you can add eggs, vegetables, barbecue, meat floss, sausage, etc. to it, depending on your personal taste.

There are a lot of fried yogurt on the roadside of Nha Trang night market, with mango/ strawberry / blueberry and other flavors, and the portions are small/medium/large, and the prices are also different. I don’t know how it tastes. I am Shirley cooked a small portion for herself. She wanted the mango flavor and I wanted the blueberry flavor. It tasted very good and was quite delicious.

I saw a restaurant with the name The Local. The price looked okay, and the pictures on the menu seemed okay. I thought that I had never eaten stir-fry before entering Vietnam, so I ordered a side of green vegetables and a side of fried spring rolls. , a beef fried rice noodles, just looking at the dish, I was speechless for a moment, what the hell is this? Except for the fried spring rolls, which were okay, the vegetables, not to mention the portion size, were actually raw. The rice noodles, did I open them the wrong way? This looks like a hodgepodge no matter how you look at it, right? It seems that if you are unemployed in the future, opening a restaurant in Nha Trang would be a good choice!

Night markets all over the world should be similar, with snacks, various specialties, clothing... There is a dazzling array of things to see. After shopping around, Shirley bought a suspender skirt and a pair of slippers. Nha Trang is a tricky place to buy things, but in fact, you can cut it here. As for the price, how much you can cut depends on your personal ability. The skirt Shirley bought was priced at VND250,000, but was finally reduced to VND150,000. I heard that Vietnam's cashew nuts are very famous. Shirley wanted to take some back to her friends as souvenirs. We looked at the prices first and planned to buy them when we leave tomorrow. After entering a few stores, we discovered that you can pay in RMB here. , as for , Alipay, and WeChat, Nha Trang really deserves to be the tourist city in Vietnam with the largest number of Chinese people.

We only stayed in Nha Trang for half a day the next day and booked a FUTA trip to Dalat at 3pm. Get up in the morning, after breakfast, plan to go to the beach for a walk. In the morning, many people had already gathered on the beach to enjoy sunbathing.

Looking at everyone wearing bikinis, and then looking at us, wearing T-shirts, trousers, and sneakers, I feel like we are in the wrong place.

When the landlord gave us the route to FUTA station on the map last night, it seemed that we would pass by Po Nagar Cham Pagoda , so we decided to check out and go to the station first (later we found out that this decision was wrong), and then go to Po Nagar Cham. Pagoda, church, Zhongzhi stone promontory. After accompanying Shirley to buy a few boxes of cashew nuts from the specialty store that I liked last night, I returned to the B&B to check out. I didn’t see the landlord, so I sent a message to the landlord and told him that the keys were placed next to the refrigerator, and we left.

When taking a taxi in Vietnam, it is more cost-effective to use a meter. Of course, some drivers may make detours, so you can look at the navigation when taking a taxi. When you find that the driver has detoured, speak up. Under normal circumstances, the driver will not make detours again. Taxis in Vietnam come in various colors and prices. The cheapest and most reliable ones are green. The recommended one is 38383838. There are big and small ones. The small one can seat four people. The starting price is 7,000 VND. The big one can seat 7 people. per person, starting price is 8,000 VND.

FUTA station is a little further from the city, about 8 kilometers. When I arrived at the station, I exchanged my ticket and planned to store my luggage at the station before going out for fun. However, after asking, I was told that there was no storage service here. But it was only around ten o'clock and I found out when I located the Po Nagar Cham Pagoda that the station had arrived. At that time, it was almost 8 kilometers away. Oh my god, were we being teased by ourselves? It turns out that I didn’t look carefully yesterday. It was on the same road at the beginning, but about 2 kilometers away, the Po Nagar Cham Pagoda branched off and took another road. what should I do? If you don't go, it would be too wasteful to wait at the station for several hours, right? Well, it costs more to take a taxi back and forth, and you have to drag your luggage. Finally, we dragged our luggage to the Po Nagar Cham Pagoda. Fortunately, when we got there, the owner of a specialty shop near the scenic spot was very kind and allowed us to temporarily store our luggage in his shop. There are still many good people in this world!

bought a ticket to enter. At this time, the place had already been captured by tour groups.

The Po Nagar Cham Pagoda was built between the 7th and 12th centuries AD. It is an Indian architecture with a style similar to Angkor Wat. However, it is much smaller in scale and the carvings are not so detailed, but it still has a very high status in the hearts of the locals. Yes, many people come here to worship here every day, not only locals, but also many Chinese.

After passing the 22 stone pillar platform at the main entrance, you can go up to the top platform along the path on one side, where is the main building of the Po Nagar Cham Pagoda. When entering the pagoda to worship, you are not allowed to wear shorts or shorts, and you must take off your hat and shoes. There are gray robes on the right side of the pagoda for free. I have never seen this before.

This scenic spot is very small and can be visited in a while. On the top platform, you can buy drinks, juice, ice cream, and hot dogs. I bought a coconut juice and sat on the bench next to it for tourists to rest while watching the city of Nha Trang.

took a rest for a while and saw that it was almost lunch time. After leaving the scenic spot, lunch will be served on the opposite street. It was too inconvenient to drag luggage in such a hot weather, so we had to give up at Nha Trang Tang and Chongyu Cape Shek Kok, pick up our luggage and take a taxi back to the station. In fact, there are many places worth visiting in Nha Trang. If you have enough time, it is suitable to stay here for two more days, learn to dive, take a mineral mud bath, and bask in the sun here. Shirley said that if she has time in the future, she can just fly to Nha Trang and stay for a few days, so she will make up for the regrets she left this time next time!

The lazy life in Vietnam appeared again. The bus at three o'clock in the afternoon did not leave until after four o'clock, which made us wonder if we had missed it. For sleeper cars, you need to take off your shoes when you get on the car. The staff will give you a plastic bag to put your shoes in. The carriages are three rows and two floors. The carriages are very clean. Each person will be given a bottle of mineral water, a pack of wet wipes and a blanket.

The road to Dalat is a long mountain road. If you are motion sick, it is best to bring some motion sickness medicine , and most mobile phone signals are out of service. There will be a rest stop along the way, and the entire trip takes about 3 hours. I originally thought that it would be very late to arrive in Da Lat after being delayed for more than an hour. Unexpectedly, when I arrived in Da Lat at around 7 o'clock in the evening, the Vietnamese bus would arrive early. This situation happened again when I arrived in Saigon . Of course this was That’s another story. All passengers will get off at Da Lat Station, and then another car will be arranged to take them to their destination for free according to the address provided. The B&B we booked was relatively remote, so the driver dropped off all the other passengers in the car before arriving at us last. It was already past 8 o'clock by then. He dropped us off in a sparsely populated street and told us to follow the opposite path. Walking down we will reach our destination. The road was very quiet, and we didn’t see many people along the way. According to the navigation instructions, the B&B we booked was the first villa we saw, but the number on the door plate was wrong, and the current building did not match the pictures on the Internet. It didn't match up at all, and I stood there for a moment, not knowing what to do. Fortunately, the person living next door had something to do, and with her help, we found the Daisy B&B we had booked.

The landlord of Daisy B&B is an elderly couple. When they saw us, they received us very warmly. I haven’t eaten anything since the afternoon, so after putting down my luggage, I asked the landlord where there was a place to eat and went out immediately. There is no place to eat near the B&B. You have to walk a kilometer away to find one.

entered a restaurant with many customers. When the waiter handed the menu, the two illiterate people who knew Vietnamese were dumbfounded. It was all in Vietnamese. It didn’t recognize us, we didn’t recognize it, and neither did the waiter who took the order. In English, she pointed at two of the dish names on the menu and looked at us. We thought she was going to recommend the special dishes here, so we just said to order this. In the end, we were served two plates of tofu. Looking at this We were completely dumbfounded by the plate of tofu, which was both speechless and funny. I originally wanted to order another vegetable, but I was afraid that I wouldn’t know what kind of dish we would be served later. Shirley said, forget it, it’s so late now, so I’ll just eat this meal like this. Well, so I just ate the tofu and a bowl of rice and hurriedly finished it and went back to the B&B to take a shower and rest.

Da Lat station will officially open tomorrow. If you want to know the story of our next stop, please read the next chapter for the breakdown - Dalat, Vietnam!
