6. Visit Vinh Long Museum by yourself
Solo traveller? Travelling on your own means you will get out of any difficult situations by yourself.

That’s why you should consider the time you spend alone on your trip as a gift.
It is possible for solo travellers to use google maps and do it alone.

It takes more time to find the correct garden to come. Adventure is always fun. Wifi is strong in Vinh Long village! The locals find it hard to speak English as well.
