Booked a private car for the easy 2 hour drive from Hanoi to Halong, got settled and went to explore a bit. They are really trying to build this entire city up, and it’s shocking how many endless empty hotels and restaurants are around.
Decided to take the world’s longest sky tram ride (1.3 miles), which included entrance to part of the Sun World amusement park.

Truck stop along the highway
Similar to Downtown Disney or Universal City Walk, area outside of the park has tons of restaurants, bars, and entertainment options. however they’re mostly shuttered, probably still recovering from covid.
Ticket included a visit to their version of Madam Teausada, and foreign wax museums are a hoot! Steffi Graf looks like a beast compared to Michael Jordans height, and they have Obama and Putin in the same room. Shakira looks like she grew up with a British dental plan. Then there’s the one for the lady with the world record tatas….😂
“Obama”
this is a strange looking pope john paul
Marilyn Monroe looks rough, this must’ve been modeled right before she overdosed 😂
World’s largest & longest sky tram
The other open side of SunWorld, it’s definitely not Cedar Point
Found a pirate ship bar walking back to the hotel, and were the only people there
This place is like a ghost town
Some bar shaped like a pirate ship, we were the only people here
