Escape from the hustle and bustle of Ho Chi Minh City
These destinations offer fewer crowds and similar attributes to their more popular counterparts, making them fine alternatives to hot spots that are their max.
It is hard not to get swept up in what is trending, especially when it comes to travel. Trouble is, once you get to a destination that’s been infiltrating your feed, you realize your friends somehow managed to crop out the throngs of tourists that populate it.
If you are looking for something a little more off-the-beaten track, I highly recommend some places that you will spend time discovering the lesser known areas of these destinations, finding a richness of the culture that’s matched by the lack of tourists.

The Family Garden
While this is very much a new addition to the zone, the Family Garden takes you slightly back in time, where pleasures could be found in simple things, like gardening, feeding ducks or fishing. The Family Garden offers a few acres of greenery and nature, where organically grown vegetables and herbs can be seen. Duck, which the children always love to see, are on site, waiting to be fed. A small pond offers those new to fishing a welcoming and unthreatening place to try out a new hobby.
There is also the outdoor playground with wooden swings and climbing frames for the children. Another unique feature is you can pick your own vegetables and cook it.
