Hanoi's Hidden Easter Egg: Venice-Style Water City Zero-Cost Check-In Guide!

Stumbled upon a mini Venice in Hanoi! Your phone memory will fill up in no time! 📸 Who says you have to go to Italy to see a dreamy water city! This hidden colorful water city in Vietnam is absolutely stunning~ It was pouring rain that day hiding from a typhoon 🌪️ But the heavens blessed us with a magical sunset! The orange-pink sky reflected in the canal The colorful little houses look unreal ✨ The moment the spherical lantern corridor lights up, it feels like stepping into a fairy tale world Can't stop snapping photos!!! 📍 Top photo spots: Grand World Ha Noi (30 km southwest of Hanoi, Vinh Phuc Province, Vietnam) It's best to copy and paste this address for a taxi: Lạc Đạo, Tân Lạc, Hạ Hòa, Phú Thọ 350000 🚌 【Zero-Cost Transportation Guide】Save your taxi fare for bubble tea 🥤 Ladies! Speaking from experience, taking a taxi is a rip-off! Here’s the free bus guide👇 🔷 Outbound trip: 1. Arrive at Hanoi Opera House before 3 PM 2. Take the small garden stop diagonally opposite the main entrance (across from the Dior store) 3. Board the OCT2 bus directly (every 20 minutes) 4. Get off when the map shows "K-Town" by pressing "STOP" Only a 3-minute walk from there! 🔷 Return trip is even easier: From the Water Taxi dock, turn left and cross the street to the bus stop Take the OCT2 bus straight back to the city center 40 minutes with air conditioning ❄️ 💸 【Spending Guide】 Town entrance: Free! Free! Free! (Important, said three times) Boat rides/sightseeing cars: 100,000-300,000 VND depending on the option Bring your own photo props like a bubble machine 🔫 📸 Must-see photo spots: ✔️ Best time: Arrive 2 hours before sunset ✔️ Top spots: - Rainbow arch bridge reflection - Spherical lantern corridor at night - Colorful houses by the canal ✔️ Outfit suggestions: Light-colored long dress + straw hat / preppy sailor style P.S. This place is like a Vietnamese Santorini + Dutch windmill combo Remember to bring plenty of power banks 🤳
