#vietnamtrip The other day, I posted an article for Camy at Ocean Park 2, but you liked it so much that today I would like to introduce another brunch shop next door that you can enjoy when visiting KTown. Let's Coffee is a cafe with the concept of an old British train carriage. The space of the shop has two floors (1st and 3rd floors), spacious with lots of seats. The seats are divided into private booths, suitable for going with friends or family. Taking advantage of the spacious space, the shop also accepts event organization, setting up the entire space. The shop's menu is diverse with many choices from drinks to savory and sweet dishes. I was attracted by the World Tour Series menu, which includes Seoul Brown Sugar Pearl Fresh Milk and delicious Belgian Biscoff coffee. The restaurant serves both brunch and cakes. We really liked the smoked salmon toast and tuna mayo toast. We liked the cool, fluffy panacotta the most. Address: KT 41, K-Town Ocean Park 2, Nghia Tru, Van Giang, Hung Yen, Vietnam

#instatravel #vietnam #awesomepic We had a wonderful experience when visiting the Bat Trang Ceramic Museum in Gia Lam, only about 30 minutes drive from the center of Hanoi. As "rumored", the unique architecture of the Museum surprised and admired me. The rotations are like giant ceramic wheels, the feeling of stepping inside made me feel like I was being carried by the hands of the artisans to discover new things about ceramics. Besides the countless elaborate ceramic works, created by artisans in the ceramic village and displayed at the Museum, the thing I like most is the arrangement according to the historical process so that we can both visit and learn more about the history of the ceramic village. The arrangement from test pieces to completed works helps me feel the whole process of formation and improvement of Vietnamese ceramics. We bought tickets to visit floors 1, 2, 4 and floors 3, 5 for #150k/person, including tea on the terrace. Because we went during Tet, on the highest floor, we were able to write wishes for peace on wooden cards and hang them on the tree ourselves. Also on this terrace, after chilling out with tea, we took a lot of extremely vintage photos right next to the lim wood stilt house, imbued with Vietnamese culture. If you want to experience a Hanoi that is not too bustling with a unique nostalgic feature, I suggest you visit Bat Trang Pottery Village (including the Museum, Village Hall, Pottery Market)!

This is the best looking coffee shop in the area #HalongBay, recommended by locals. The price is on the higher side but the taste is strong. It is a large air-conditioned room, full of people, with a lot of toilets and tables, clean. If you have a chance, try to come here. You will not be disappointed.

Around Long Bien Bridge, there are also many delicious restaurants, beautiful cafes and interesting places to play. Red River rock beach is probably no longer a strange place for young people because this place is a familiar shooting spot for many people, the vast, green scenery will surely make you take beautiful pictures. It's like being in a prairie somewhere
