Jack's Cat Cafe is Central Vietnam's first cat cafe and homes over 50 rescue cats. You can enjoy coffee, tea, juices and vegetarian food in a beautiful garden setting with all the kitties.

This place is more of a kitty sanctuary than a cat cafe. And this is meant in very good way. The volunteers are extremely welcoming and kind. The cats are very sweet. When we went there were around 50+ cats roaming the open court yard. My kids (15, 12, and 10) absolutely loved it. I would highly recommend this to animal lovers who are looking to just relax from the usual touristy activities in Hoi An. I would suggest that if you bring young children, make sure they are understanding how to act with the cats as some of them may be nervous.

It was a hot afternoon last Tuesday in mid March and 4 of us visitors to Vung Tau (just to Chill for a couple of weeks) decided to visit Robert Taylor's Musueum of Worldwide Arms. 4 of us were blown away by this amazing collection of Military Uniforms, Memorabilia and Facts dating back centuries. The buildings were immaculately kept and airconditioned to maintain the integrity of the uniforms. 3 different buildings full of amazing weapons and uniforms even those of the Australians fighting in the Vietnam war 50 years ago. Highly recommended to see this private collection here in Vietnam.

A 500m2 display of photos and artifacts collected during the last 8 years of Rehahn's exploration of Vietnam. Entrance for this cultural experience is Free In English, French and Vietnamese
Reviewed By ilarialuceripoll - Jakarta, Indonesia
This is definitely a not-to-be-missed gem in Hoi An. Forget the ethnographic and history museums in Hanoi and Saigon, this is the place to truly learn about the different people who inhabit Vietnam. Réhahn is truly passionate about showcasing and preserving the rich heritage of all the ethnic groups in the country, and he has managed to personally assemble a wonderfully extensive collection of traditional costumes and other artefacts. These are presented better than in any museum we have seen here, with detailed explanations for each and—huge bonus—fantastic portraits of villagers. The gallery is free and has set up a couple of humanitarian projects entirely financed through the sale of the gorgeous photographs and books. Absolutely worthwhile spending an hour or so here, and if you happen to be in luck and visit when Rehahn is actually there himself you are in for an extra treat.

Definitely worth visiting if you have to stay in Saigon. The museum has three floors of incredible war artifacts and history relating to the French colonisation, Vietnamese attempts of democratic independence and the US occupation. The atrocities levelled upon the Vietnamese population since the French arrived until unification is just unbelievable. The affects of agent orange is even more heartbreaking. The horrors of chemical warfare in WW1 led to a ban on such weapons. The short and long term affects of agent orange far surpass any of the horrors of WW1. To think that a so called social responsible democratically elected government could cover half of Vietnam, swathes of Cambodia and Lao with such an incidious chemical throughout the 60s-70s is unfathomable. Especially when you consider civilians and US/allied troops were also knowingly sacrificed to the affects of agent orange as well. To this day Vietnamese only drink bottled water because of the presence of carcinogenic material from agent orange.

We visited here as part of our highlights of Indochina tour. This is a great museum with brilliant outdoor exhibits showing examples of the houses used by each of the ethnic groups that came together to form modern Vietnam. We spent a good few hours here as the indoor exhibits are also excellent with translations in English. There is also a good cafe in the grounds serving hot meals as well as tea coffee cakes etc. This was a good visit and would recomend it to anyone wanting to know more about the people of Vietnam and their origins.

Focused on the contribution of women to Vietnam's history and culture, this museum highlights their roles in Vietnam's many military conflicts as well as in commerce, including features on female street vendors, women's role in the family, and more recently, single mothers in Vietnam.
Reviewed By Sakuraplatz - Ichihara, Japan
Perfectly located, just two blocks away from Hoan Kiem Lake, this is an excellent museum to learn Vietnamese culture and history from the women's perspective through their daily family life and special occasions such as marriage, pregnancy, birth and wartime. Displays were well-organized including videos. Exhibition about traditional costumes and artifacts showed cultural diversity in Vietnam, which was all the more interesting for me because I was just returned from a trek at Sapa. Their museum shop was also great. The entrance fee was only 30,000 VND and I got a Japanese booklet, which I found very informative, at the same price. Highly recommended.

With terrific views from the third floor and a ten-foot high dragon in the side garden, this modern pagoda is a favorite.
Reviewed By bvh_vn
An intersting place in Dalat for any travellers with unique architecture (from broken ceremic, glassware, etc.), budda and bodhisattva statues, the illustration of hell. Although it is not the biggest pagoda you can find in Vietnam, I found it has a comprehensive atmosphere of a local pagoda. Quite far from the centre of Dalat, you may want to combine the trip to this pagoda and the tea farm.

Situated in the centre of the UNESCO-declared World Heritage area, the Sung Sôt or Surprise Grotto is on Bo Hòn Island, and is one of the finest and widest grottoes of Ha Long Bay.Ascending to the grotto, the way is covered by trees and foliage, and consists of great paved stone blocks.Inside, it is partitioned into two chambers; the first one being similar to a wide theatre hall. Many stalactites hang from the high ceiling, with numerous possible forms and shapes.

Of the many fascinating places that we visited during our Halong Bay tour, seeing Sung Sot or Surprise Cave was certainly unique. There are many caves throughout the region, although most of the other ones that we visited were on the water. Surprise Cave is completely different as it is more of what we would consider to be a cavern with large ceilings, stalagmites, and stalactites. It is another very popular location, so the earlier in the day that you can arrive, the better off you will be. From our cruise ship, we took a small boat to the docks at Bo Hon Island where Sung Sot Cave is located. In order to get to the entrance of the cave, you must climb the approximately 50 stairs that rise high above the bay. The walls of the mountain is covered in plants and trees, but even so the entrance of the cave is visible from the docks below. Before you enter the mouth of the cave, you are rewarded with wonderful views of the bay below and all of the other ships that are there to visit the island. As you start to explore Surprise Cave, the first chamber that you enter is known as the “Waiting Room” with multicolored lights and a variety of stalagmites and stalactites. It is probably known as the waiting room because that is exactly what it is as different tour groups wait for their turn to enter the narrow passageway that takes you to the second chamber. The ceiling of the cave has unique, swirling patterns from the water that created the large caverns hundreds of years earlier. It is an opportunity for your tour guide to give a brief history of the cave and to get an appreciation of the beautiful rock formations. The second chamber, called the “Serene Castle”, is even larger and more impressive. There is a path that leads you around the various different formations, many of which that have been given different names because of things that they resemble. The most popular is one that looks like a turtle, which is a revered symbol, so people leave offerings as a blessing in order to receive long life. As you finally make your way out of Sung Sot Cave’s exit, you are once again greeted with wonderful views of Halong Bay. We visited Bo Hon Island on the final day of our Halong Bay tour and it only took us about two hours to walk through the interior of Surprise Cave. With the amazing geological features, it is certainly worth having to deal with the crowds in order to see the cave.
