✈️ Why I Haven’t Posted Lately…
Because I’m off to Hanoi for a 4 nights 6 days trip 😎
🛫 Hanoi In, Hai Phong Out
Round-trip ticket? Too basic.
I’m flying into Hanoi and flying out from Hai Phong.
This way, I can go from Hanoi → Ha Long Bay → Hai Phong in one smooth, perfect route.

🏙 3 Nights in Hanoi – Wanted Local Life, Ended Up Tourist Mode
Normally when I travel, I avoid local portals and search via Google like a local —
hunting down hidden eateries, strolling back alleys, soaking in everyday life vibes.
But while planning this trip…
Hoan Kiem Lake, Old Quarter, Temple of Literature, St. Joseph’s Cathedral…
“Wait, isn’t this just a typical tourist itinerary?”
I suddenly realized I’d become a regular tourist instead of a local explorer —
and yes, it annoyed me a little 😂
So in a moment of rebellion, I skipped Ninh Binh and picked Ba Vi National Park, as suggested by Google.
🌳 Ba Vi National Park Jeep Tour – Pricey but Worth It
The usual National Park + tea plantation combo is around ₩50,000($37 USD),
but this Jeep Tour? A solid ₩120,000($88 USD).
For reference, Ninh Binh with a Korean guide and long-distance transfer is ₩50,000($37 USD) —
so yeah, this is on the luxury side.
But hey, there’s always a reason for the price.
I’m expecting something truly special here.
If my trip had become too “normal,” this is my wildcard.
⛴ 1 Night in Ha Long Bay
Day 4: Check out of Hanoi in the morning → Ha Long Bay Tour → Stay overnight near Ha Long.
Day 5: Explore Ha Long → Move to Hai Phong → Night flight home.
📌 Itinerary Recap
- Day 1~3: Hanoi City + Ba Vi National Park Jeep Tour
- Day 4: Ha Long Bay Tour → Ha Long stay
- Day 5: Ha Long sightseeing → Hai Phong night flight
- Day 6: Arrive in Korea
This trip is powered by sweat and part-time jobs,
so I’m spending every won with purpose 😎
