I know that Quang Long pagoda is a beautiful pagoda with the Thailand architecture. It's near Suoi Tien theme park. I came there last Sunday and enjoyed the peace there. If you want to go a place, I will show you the way to come

Thanks Ms.Thien Ngan... could you please give me some idea how to reach there...

You mean as a tourist?  There are lots.  You should start with Vũng Tàu.  You can take the hydrofoil or go by shuttle-van if you don't have a motorbike.

First of all, Vietnam is more than 1,650 km north to south. You can ride a bicycle or motorbike, drive a car, bus/coach, fly, hydrofoil or simply youtube to those places. Lately, you can even ski in Vietnam. What would you like to do or go?

Ski in Vietnam!?

Well, if you've done the tourist thing already, then why not try a charity thing?  You can always come along on the Convoy For Babies orphanage run.  We're going to Đồng Nai province.  It's about a 1/2 - 3/4 day trip.

So you have a motorbike or will I need to find you a ride?

Will confirm u on Saturday.. already I have some plans.. so can't decide right now.. I love to join n I was doing this in my country..

first, you go to Hàng Xanh  crossroad, then, find Hà Nội highway(or go to Sài Gòn bridge and you can see). Second, you go along Hà Nội highway up to you see Suối Tiên theme park. Next, go about 150m and then turn right. You should ask local people for the way to go to Bửu Long pagoda. may be 3 kms from there.

Thanks for your info... like to join?

Hi there,

Have no special destination near HCMC around 50km. but you can visit some places as Fairy Spring Park, Dam Sen Park, the Zoo. I recommend some amazing destinations for you:
Cu Chi is about 70 km northwest of Ho Chi Minh City in Southern Vietnam. The Cu Chi Tunnels have proven to be one of the most famous and historical aspects of the Vietnam War. We will visit the Cu Chi Tunnels, a network of tunnels that stretched for over 200 km. The network of tunnels ran several levels deep and consisted of innumerable trap doors, storage facilities, weapons factories, field hospitals, command centers and kitchens.  These tunnels consisted of many ‘moving partsÂ’ making them a livable structure for long periods of time.
If you like climbing, you can discover Black Lady mountain in Tay Ninh Province, 110 km from HCMC. The mountain is famed for the its beautiful temples and theme park. If you need more information, conctact me for email: nganha@fiditour.com. this my Skype: ha_nhatviet

You can follow stair way to reach a pagoda, them follow some young groups to go up the top.
There is a big rock on the way. It's great to see the river ... and take some photos from there. COOL

Thanks mayflower .. Will try when I go..

If you are exploring by motorbike, it's nice and more enjoyable.
On the way to Vung Tau you can take rest at many places like Lothamilk area.
If you are going with a small group, it will be more fun 
Can Gio (Monkey island) is another attraction.

Thanks charma.. can gio I visited already.. I'm trying to form a group or a partner.. if I get I 'll go by bike and enjoy..
