Hoi An 会安

From the bus station, I took a slow 30 minutes walk, under the blue cloudy sky, to the hotel.

I stayed in a 4-bedded room but 2 of the beds were empty during the 2 nights stay.

The staff were are friendly. They provided directions for places to visit.

The hotel provides breakfast. There are also nearby restaurants providing alternative food.

There is a entrance fee to get into the Hoi An ancient town but I saw many people did not buy the entrance ticket. The entrance ticket allows you to get into certain places in the old town, You can also use the ticket to watch the water puppet show. I think it is worth paying for the ticket

Hue 顺化

Mui Ne 美奈

Mui Ne is about four hours by bus from Ho Chi Minh City. Most of the hotels and resorts are situated along the road and the long distance bus will drop the passengers in front of their respective hotels while travelling from one end to the other of the road.  This place is worth a stay for 2 to 3 days to relax and enjoy yourself.

I did not get into the muddy stream as I did not want to wet my socks and shoe. I should wear slipper or sandal instead.

Behind the hotels is the long stretch of white and sandy beach. Some resorts have their own personal beach reserved for the hotel guests.

This is a very impressive fishing village.

There are not many attractions in Mui Ne but the two sand dunes are worth the visit. In the white sand dunes, you could imagine that you are in the desert but you will not have any fear of getting lost or dying of thirst. There is no camel but you could take the jeep or motorbike to get into the sand dunes. But I would recommend that you take a slow walk to have the feeling of walking in the desert. Despite the striking color, the red sand dunes are much more less impressive than the white sand dunes.

Fuzhou 福州

I asked the locals and found that the 3 Star hotels are not within my budget. Finally, I was directed to stay in an apartment (写字楼). The counter staff said that the regulations are only for hotels and apartments are excluded.

生命诚可贵, 爱情价更高
若为自由故, 两者皆可抛
在这个男女不分的地方
人们自由自在的享受生活
你可以穿你想要穿的, 不穿也可以
你可以做你想做的事, 没有人在乎
甚至那活儿也现了出来
都不会有人来管
这可能是警察的懒觉
没有人来维护秩序
