호치민에서 근거리 여행으로는, 호텔 셔틀버스를 이용해서 다녀오는 호짬여행과
차를 렌탈해서 다녀오는 무이네여행, 그리고.......
거리상으로 가장 근거리에 위치해 있는 붕따우(Vũng Tàu) 여행 등이 있는데요.
오늘은 좀 묵혀 두었던 노동절 연휴에 다녀왔던 붕따우 여행 얘기 풀어 볼게요~
남편이 너무 바빠서 출근 하는 바람에(노동절인데::)......
아는 지인과 서로 아이들만 데리고 2박3일 급하게 정해서 번갯불에 콩궈먹듯 다녀온 여행인데....
생각했던 거보다 너무너무 재미있었던 여행.
호치민 2년 살이 중에 붕따우는 이번이 처음이었어요.
같이 간 지인도 처음이었는데....같이 붕따우에 반하고 왔지 뭐에요....?!😄😄
갬성(?!)이 잘 맞아서 인지.... 서로 감탄하며 이곳저곳 쏘다니며, 또다시 오자 약속하고 돌아왔어요👍👍
For a short trip from Ho Chi Minh City, there are several options: a Ho Tram trip using a hotel shuttle bus, a trip to Mui Ne by renting a car, and the closest destination in terms of distance, a trip to Vũng Tàu. Today, I’d like to share about my trip to Vũng Tàu during the Labor Day holiday.
Since my husband was too busy and had to go to work (even on Labor Day!), I decided to go on a sudden trip with a friend, each of us bringing only our kids. It was a hastily planned 3-day, 2-night trip, but it turned out to be so much fun.
I’ve been living in Ho Chi Minh City for two years, but this was my first time visiting Vũng Tàu. It was also the first time for my friend who joined me, and we both fell in love with Vũng Tàu. Maybe it was because our feelings were in sync, but we were constantly amazed as we explored various places, promising to come back again. 😄😄
We had such a great time, bonding over the beautiful sights and experiences. 👍👍
떠나는 날 호치민 1군에 있는 박당 포트 앞 한 컷( 캬~~이 날씨.... 실화냐..??!ㅋ)
A snapshot in front of Bach Dang Port in District 1,
Ho Chi Minh City on the day of departure (Wow, this weather... Is this for real?! haha)
여기도 너무 예뻐서 한 컷.
A snapshot here too because it was so beautiful.
저희는 클룩에서 고속 페리 호치민<----> 붕따우 왕복으로 예매를 했는데요.
페리 타고 가는 티겟은 클룩뿐이 없는 거 같더라고요.
더 싼 곳 찾아 리얼 마이 트립이나, kkday 도 찾아봤는데.. 유일무이 클룩에만::
어른 두 명 (12살부터 어른으로 사야 함ㅠ) + 아이 한 명 = 53,700 ₩
싼 가격은 아니지만 안 막히고 가는 것이 어디냐... 하는 마음으로...
저흰 다시 가도 배 타고 가겠어요~~~~
We booked a round-trip high-speed ferry from Ho Chi Minh City to Vũng Tàu through Klook.
It seems like Klook is the only place to book ferry tickets for this route.
We checked Real My Trip and KKday for cheaper options,
but Klook was the only one available.
The total cost for two adults
(anyone 12 years and older needs an adult ticket) and one child was 53,700₩.
Although it's not cheap,
the convenience of avoiding traffic made it worth it.
We would definitely take the ferry again if we go back.
항구에서 실물 티켓으로 교환했는데, 그냥 e-티켓 보여주시고 타는 분도 있더라고요;;
We exchanged our booking for physical tickets at the port, but some people just showed their e-tickets and boarded without any issues.
고속 페리 내부 사진이에요.^^ 조금 답답한 감이 없지 않아 있어요::
Here's a photo of the inside of the high-speed ferry.^^ It does feel a bit cramped.
하지만 물도 챙겨 주고, 과자도 주고, 물티슈도 주고...^^
뭐 주면 은근 기분 좋아지는 1인.ㅋ
But they provided water, snacks, and wet wipes...^^
I can't help but feel happy when I get these little extras. haha
이 포인트 엄지 척!! 밖에서 맥주도 마실수도 있고, 라면도 밖에서 먹을 수도 있어요. (맥주, 라면.. 등등 유료^^)
Thumbs up for this point!! You can even drink beer and eat ramen outside. (Beer, ramen, etc. are available for purchase.)
드디어 붕따우 도착!! 정확히 1시간 40분 정도 걸린 거 같아요. 막히지 않으니까 너무 좋은 거 있죠~~😁😁
Finally arrived in Vũng Tàu!! It took about 1 hour and 40 minutes.
It's so great that there's no traffic~~😁😁
도착해서 완전 다른 세상 온 것 마냥 너무 신기하고,
탁 트인 전경에 넋을 잃고 감탄 또 감탄.
호치민에서 볼 수 없던 전경이고, 푸른 바다가 너무 보고 싶던 우리들...::
무이네 호짬 하고는 또 다른..... 매력.
우리나라 속초 앞바다나 부산 해운대.... 와 비슷한 것도 같아요.::
아무튼, 너무 그리웠어...ㅠ
After arriving, it felt like we had entered a completely different world. We were mesmerized by the open scenery and couldn't stop marveling. It's a view you can't see in Ho Chi Minh City, and we were all craving to see the blue ocean... Vũng Tàu has a different charm compared to Mui Ne or Ho Tram. It kind of reminds me of Sokcho Beach or Haeundae Beach in Busan in Korea. Anyway, I missed it so much...ㅠ
우리가 머문 곳은 붕따우 백비치 근처에 있는 CSJ였어요.
에어비앤비로 급하게 잡았는데, 위치가 너무 좋았던 숙소.
바로 앞에 바닷가와 10분 거리 내외로
편의점과 음식점이 다 있어서 너무 편하고 좋더라고요.
물론 우리는 맛집을 찾아다닐 거지만😄😄
We stayed at CSJ near Back Beach in Vũng Tàu. We booked it last minute on Airbnb, and the location was perfect. The beach was right in front of us, and within a 10-minute walk, there were convenience stores and restaurants, making it very convenient and pleasant. Of course, we planned to seek out the best local eateries. 😄😄
날씨 정말 뜨거웠는데...ㅎㅎ 사진은 정말 잘 나오지 않았나요?.. 역시 사진은 햇살 빨?!The weather was really hot... haha. But didn't the photos turn out great? It seems like sunlight really makes a difference in photos, right?!
에어 비앤비로 급하게 잡은 숙소치고 너무 깨끗하고 룸 컨디션도 너무 좋더라고요.
다만, 한 가지 아쉬웠던 건..
4인까지 가능하다고 쓰여있었는데.... 화장실은..ㅠㅠ
베트남에서 방마다 화장실이 있는 삶이 너무 익숙해져 그런가...::
아침저녁으로 너무 바빴던.;;ㅋㅋ
For a last-minute Airbnb booking, the accommodation was really clean, and the room condition was excellent. However, one thing that was a bit disappointing... It was advertised as being suitable for up to 4 people, but... the bathroom...ㅠㅠ
Maybe I've gotten too used to having a bathroom in every room in Vietnam... We were really busy in the mornings and evenings. haha
이렇게 화장실 딱 하나!!. 그래도 방만큼 엄청 넓었던 화장실
There was just this one bathroom!! But it was really spacious, just like the room.
창 밖으로 보이는 풍경은 생각 보단 이쁘진 않았지만....
그래도 날씨가 너무 쨍하게 좋아서 또 한 컷!
The view from the window wasn't as pretty as I had hoped... But the weather was so bright and clear, I had to take another shot!
저렇게 신나게.......ㅋㅋㅋ
저희 아들이에요.ㅋ
뒷 모습이 말해주고 있지요....?!
'😍~😍~🎵🎵🎵🎵'
So excited like that... haha
This is my son. haha
His back is telling the story, right...?!
'😍😍🎵🎵🎵🎵'
호치민에서 막혔던 숨통이 뽝~~! 텐션 업!!!
The congestion we felt in Ho Chi Minh City is gone~~! Tension up!!!
너무 이쁘죠..? 한국에 있을 때는 사실 바다에 큰 감흥이 없었는데;;
호치민이 너무 갑갑해서....ㅠ
이런 게 상대적 가치인가....?.😶🌫️😶🌫️😶🌫️
Isn't it beautiful? When I was in Korea, I didn't really appreciate the ocean much; but being in Ho Chi Minh City felt so stifling...ㅠ Is this what they mean by relative value...? 😶🌫️😶🌫️😶🌫️
비치 앞에 음식점들이 많아서 먹을 곳은 꽤 있어요.
그런데 청결하진 않아 보였어요.
베트남 사람들은 많이 이용하는 것 같더라고요.
There are quite a few restaurants in front of the beach, so there are plenty of places to eat. However, they didn't seem very clean. It looked like many Vietnamese people used them.
배고파~~ 배고파~~~
다들 너무 배고파서 쓰러질 때쯤 찾아간 로컬 맛집
(여행 책자에 쓰여있던)
아고;; 정면 샷을 못 찍었어요::
사람들이 안에 바글바글.
맛집은 맞았던 거 같아요.
Hungry~~ So hungry~~~ When everyone was about to collapse from hunger, we found a local restaurant (listed in the travel guide). Oh no, I couldn't take a shot of the front... The place was crowded inside. It seemed like it was indeed a good place.
정말 맛있었어요.
반쎄오 하고는 조금 다른 맛
반콧(Bánh khọt)은 작은 크기의 바삭한 팬케이크 형태로,
주로 새우, 돼지고기, 콩나물 등을 얹어 먹는 요리예요.
위에 얹어 지는 재료에 따라
반콧똠(Bánh Khọt Tôm-새우), 반콧묵(Bánh Khọt Mực-오징어) 이라고 불려요.
붕따우에서 가장 유명한 요리 중 하나랍니다.
꼭 드셔보세요^^
It was really delicious. The taste was a bit different from Bánh Xèo. Bánh Khọt is a small, crispy pancake, typically topped with shrimp, pork, bean sprouts, and other ingredients. Depending on the toppings, it is called Bánh Khọt Tôm (with shrimp) or Bánh Khọt Mực (with squid). It’s one of the most famous dishes in Vũng Tàu. Be sure to try it.^^
ㅋㅋ계산서에요.
로컬은 계산서 이렇게 주는 경우가 많아요.
반콧똠, 반콧묵 두가지 골고루 시키고 음료까지
모두 6명이 먹었었는데... 47만동..ㅎㅎ
저렴하죠?....호치민 보다 많이 싸네요.😅
Haha, here’s the bill.
Local places often give you the bill like this.
We ordered both Bánh Khọt Tôm and Bánh Khọt Mực, and drinks too.
Six of us ate, and it was 470,000 VND. haha
Isn’t it cheap? It’s much cheaper than in Ho Chi Minh City.😅
둘째 날 붕따우 전쟁 박물관도 다녀오고...
설명을 읽을 수 없어서 아쉬웠지만;;
그래도 나름 볼만했어요.^^
On the second day, we visited the Vũng Tàu War Museum...
It was a shame that we couldn't read the explanations, but it was still worth seeing.^^
붕따우에서 유명한 계란빵인 반봉란(Bánh Bông Lan) 도 먹어 보았지요.
맛과 질감이 익숙한 듯... 익숙하지 않은.....
뭐랄까..... 소금빵과 계란빵의 그 어디쯤.....ㅋ
일단 배고파서, 우린 맛있게 먹었답니다.^^
We also tried Bánh Bông Lan, the famous egg bread in Vũng Tàu.
The taste and texture were somewhat familiar... yet unfamiliar...
How should I put it... somewhere between a salty bread and an egg bread... haha
Anyway, we were hungry, so we enjoyed it.^^
그리고 그 유명한 라이트룸 커피집도 방문!!
여행 책자와 블로그에서 입소문이 자자한 커피집인데요;;
찾아가기가 조금 애매했어요.
골목 깊숙이 들어가 위치해 있어요~^^
And we also visited the famous Lightroom Coffee shop! It’s a well-known coffee shop mentioned in travel guides and blogs, but it was a bit tricky to find. It's located deep in an alley~^^
내부 전경 사진인데요.
생각 보단 작아요.
좁고, 계단도 많고 가파랐어요.
좀 독특한 콘셉트.
Here’s a photo of the interior.
It’s smaller than I expected.
It’s narrow, with many steep stairs.
A rather unique concept.
저.... 저기 사람들 보이시나요?
대학생들 단체로 M.T 온 줄;;
유명한 커피숍이라 그런지,
워낙에 공간도 좁은데,
젊은 학생들이 바글바글.😁
Can you see those people over there?
It looks like a group of college students on an M.T.
Because it’s a famous coffee shop and the space is so small, it was really crowded.😁
아보카도 코코넛 스무디는 꼭 먹어봐야 한 데서..............
사실 그렇게 맛있는지는 잘 모르겠어요ㅠ
I heard that the avocado coconut smoothie is a must-try...
But honestly, I’m not sure if it was that good.ㅠ
그리고 대망의 붕따우 명소 중에 명소 그리스도 상 입구!!
하지만, 쨍쨍 내리치는 햇볕과 함께 저 계단을 보는 순간. 하;;;;;;;;
심지어 여성들은 반바지도 안 돼요ㅠ
이슬람이나 불교 사원도 아닌데;;
아무튼 더워 죽겠는데도...,
두꺼운 요가 바지 같은 거 하나 사서 껴입고 올라갔어요.ㅎㅎ
And finally, the entrance to the famous Vũng Tàu Christ the King Statue!!
But the moment we saw those stairs under the blazing sun, we were like... ha;;;;;;;
And women aren’t allowed to wear shorts, either.ㅠ
It’s not even an Islamic or Buddhist temple...
Anyway, even though it was unbearably hot, we bought thick yoga pants and wore them to go up. haha
보이시나요? 붕따우의 자랑. 그리스도 상!
(이 동상은 1974년에 건립되기 시작했으나,
베트남 전쟁으로 인해 공사가 중단되었다가. 이후 재개되어 1994년에 완공됨)
해발 170미터라고 하길래,
겁먹고 '올라가? 말어?' 하다가 큰맘 먹고 올라갔는데...
결과적으론 올라가길 잘한 거 같아요^^
Can you see it? Vũng Tàu's pride, the Christ the King Statue! (This statue began construction in 1974 but was halted due to the Vietnam War. It was later resumed and completed in 1994.) It's said to be 170 meters above sea level.
We hesitated, wondering 'Should we go up or not?' but finally decided to go for it... In the end, it was a good decision to go up.^^
그리스도 상을 등지고 내려다 보이는 전경에서 찍은 건데,
너무 아름답지 않나요?..ㅎㅎ 실물이 더 예뻐요.
올라 오길 잘했죠?..
This photo was taken from the view behind the Christ the King Statue, looking down. Isn't it beautiful?.. haha It looks even better in person. I'm glad we decided to go up, right?
다음날 아침으로 그냥 구글링 해서 찾아온 식당이었는데...
너무 맛있었던 집이에요.
알고 보니 블로그에도 많이 소개되어 있는 맛집이더라고요.^^
얻어 걸린...ㅋㅋ
For breakfast the next morning, we found a restaurant through Google search...
It turned out to be really delicious.
Turns out, it's a popular place that's been featured in many blogs.^^
A lucky find... haha
대략 이런 비주얼.
총알 오징어가 통으로 몇 개는 들어가 있는 거 같아요.
저는 진짜 너무너무너무 맛있었어요.
붕따우 가시면 꼭 한번 드셔 보세요^^
This is roughly what it looked like.
It seemed like there were a few whole bullet squids in it.
I really, really, really loved it.
If you go to Vũng Tàu, you must try it.^^
여기는 숙소 바로 앞에 있던 굉장히 크고 화려 했던 아파트인데....
구글에서 찾아보니 Homestay The Sóng Pig Homestay라고 하더라고요.
이 근처가 굉장히 번화해서 편의점이나 음식점을 이용하기가 더 편했던 거 같아요.
This is a very large and fancy apartment right in front of our accommodation... I found out through Google that it's called Homestay The Sóng Pig Homestay. This area is very bustling, so it was more convenient to use convenience stores and restaurants.
숙소 근처에 붕따우 롯데마트.
우리 롯데마트랑 비슷해요.
있을 건 다 있어요.
여기서 대략적인 장도 보고,
배고파서 롯데리아도 이용하고,
너무 용이했어요.
베트남이 아니라 속초나, 부산에 와 있는 느낌^^
Near our accommodation was the Vũng Tàu Lotte Mart.
It's similar to our Lotte Mart.
It has everything you need.
We did some general shopping here,
and since we were hungry, we also ate at Lotteria.
It was very convenient.
It felt like being in Sokcho or Busan rather than in Vietnam.^^
진짜 물놀이는 뽕 뽑았던 거 같아요.^^
2박 3일 일정에 바닷가를 3일 내내 갔었으니까.....ㅋㅋ
베트남 남부라 그런가..... 해가 호치민보다 조금 늦게 지더라고요.
6~7시까지 바다와 모레사장을 왔다 갔다 하며 놀았어요.
해 질 녘 너무 예쁘죠?
그리고, 끝도 없이 노는 우리 아이들... 어쩜 좋죠...?
We really made the most of the water activities.^^
We went to the beach every day during our 3-day, 2-night trip... haha
Maybe because it's in southern Vietnam, the sun sets a bit later than in Ho Chi Minh City.
We played in the sea and on the sand until 6 or 7 PM.
Isn't the sunset beautiful?
And our kids, playing endlessly... what can we do?...
모두가 끝도 없이 노는군요..?ㅎㅎ
낮에 너무 뜨거웠어서 그런가...? 늦게까지 나와 노는 분들도 많아요^^
Everyone is playing endlessly, huh? haha
Maybe because it was so hot during the day...? There were many people out playing until late.^^
아!! 식당 사진을 깜빡했어요.ㅠ
롯데 마트 근처에 풀만 호텔이 있는데,
그 근처가 해산물 식당 거리더라고요,
애들은 라면 먹고 싶다고...ㅠ.
세상에서 라면이 젤 맛있는 줄 아는 아이들;;
어른 둘만 나와서 해산물 요리와 알코올 조금 먹긴 했는데...
너무 맛이 없어서 실망했었던........;;
그냥, 야밤에 아이들 없이...
알코올과 함께...
진솔한 이야기를 나눴던 걸로 만족을...^^
Oh!! I forgot to include the restaurant photos.ㅠ
Near Lotte Mart, there's the Pullman Hotel, and the area around it is a street full of seafood restaurants.
The kids wanted ramen...ㅠ.
They think ramen is the best thing in the world;;
Only the two of us adults went out to have some seafood dishes and a bit of alcohol...
But the food was so disappointing...
We just enjoyed the night without the kids...
with some alcohol...
having heartfelt conversations... and were satisfied with that.^^
붕따우는 우리나라 속초 앞바다나,
부산 해운대 앞바다 정도로 생각하시면 될 것 같아요.
저야 호치민에 갇혀 산지 어언 2년 차라
그저 탁 트인 바다와 잘 정비된 도로를 보면서 감탄하긴 했지만......
Think of Vũng Tàu as similar to Sokcho Beach or Haeundae Beach in Busan in Korea.
Having been confined to Ho Chi Minh City for about two years now,
I was just amazed by the open sea and the well-maintained roads...
특이한게, 도로 위에 오토바이보다 자동차 비율이 더 많았던 기억이 나네요....
대체적으로 깔끔하고, 도로 정비나 계획이 가장 잘 되어있던 붕따우였어요^^
급하게 간 여행이었는데....
너무 재밌었고, 너무 신났었고, 너무 배부르게 행복하게 다녀왔던.....
붕따우 여행이었습니다.
여러분도 꼭 한번 가보세요~~^^
Interestingly, I remember there being more cars than motorbikes on the roads... Vũng Tàu was generally very clean, and the roads were well-maintained and well-planned.^^ Even though it was a hastily planned trip... It was so much fun, so exciting, and we came back very full and happy... It was a wonderful trip to Vũng Tàu. You should definitely visit too~~^^
