Go to Hon Thom before Tet - close the old year with a gentle break
In the days before Tet, when the streets are still busy and everyone is rushing with unfinished tasks at the end of the year, Hon Thom brings a very different feeling: quiet, airy, and breathable.
The weather in Hon Thom during this period is stable, with light sunshine and a calm sea. The number of visitors has not yet reached its peak, so all experiences flow more smoothly, from the cable car ride over the sea to the stops along the island. No need to jostle, no need to calculate every hour, the trip at this time is like a gentle pause to escape the familiar rhythm of life.
Going to Hon Thom before Tet is very suitable for those who want to slow down to close the old year. It could be a short trip with family, with loved ones, or simply for yourself. This is also the period when airfare and tourism service costs are more "pleasant", making the trip lighter in terms of both itinerary and mindset.
No need to stay all day or pack too many experiences. Just enough time to sit in the cable car cabin, looking at the blue sea stretching below, to let your heart settle down after a busy year is enough for a gentle end to the old year.
