Take the Cable Car for the Views
Even if you don't enter the theme park, the ride on the Queen cable car across the bay offers some of the best aerial views of the karst landscape and the city.
Visit Hon Gai Fish Market at Sunrise
For a very authentic local experience, go to the Hon Gai main market early in the morning to watch the boats unload the day's catch. It is a vibrant and photogenic chaos.
Negotiation
In the markets and with street vendors, negotiation is common. Always do it with a smile.
Tap Water
Don't drink tap water. Always consume bottled water.
Street Food
Use common sense. Choose stalls that are busy and where you can see that the food is cooked to order.
Verify your Tour
When booking a cruise from the city, make sure the agency is trustworthy. Ask to see photos of the boat and read recent reviews to avoid scams.
Taxis and Grab
Always use taxis from trusted companies (like Mai Linh) and make sure they use the meter, or use the Grab app to have a fixed price and avoid negotiations.
