Suoi Tien

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Suoi Tien is a grand amusement park in Vietnam. Known for its beautiful scenery and architecture, everything here is huge, bright and colorful. You'll find sculpted dragons, Buddha statues and pretty much anything about Vietnam's history and legends, as well as all the normal theme park attractions. If you want to take the perfect picture, this place is for you!

Suoi Tien is decorated in a sort of Disneyland-meets-Buddha aesthetic, a visual feast!

Vietnam

Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon is the largest city in Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh city is ranked as the 3rd most expensive city of South-East Asia after Singapore and Hanoi. Truly a wonderful city with rich Vietnamese culture and traditions.

Beautiful photos of colorful Saigon for you to see. Tons ahead, enjoy!

The city's core is adorned with huge elegant temples and historical French colonial structures. We visited the popular sites like the majestic Giac Lam Temple, Reunification Palace, Notre-Dame Cathedral, Cho Lon as China Town and the busy Bến Thành market. Dining at The Deck, over looking the Mekong River and riding the cyclo solo was pretty amazing to appreciate more the beauty of Saigon.

I was totally surprised by the beauty of Ho Chi Minh City and even more dazzled by the deep history the city has to offer. Touring Vietnam with dearest mom was unforgettable. She fell in love with the city twice and I think I'll be back again to see the beach part of Vietnam with siblings. That'll be twice the fun!

Sorry for the long post and for being away forever. Will share other photos of my Vietnam tour next. I love that I blended so well, as usual I was inspired by the surroundings.
