On my last holiday I went to Egypt with my parents for two weeks.We hit the beach nearby the hotel,drank cocktails,swam,sunbathed and rode a camel. It was out of this world! Also we did some sightseeing in Hurgada as well as: stunning historical pyramids,the statues of the famous pharaohs and many others fascinating things. Hurgada is a cosmopolitan and touristy place. Mostly I went to the mini disko and danced with another children. The hotel where I stayed was a huge place with a delicious food from different countries. The staff was funny,hardworking and wonderful people. For my tastes, this hotel is the best place in Hurgada! By the end I want to say that I wasn’t so keen on the Red Sea. There wasn’t many fishes and corals. I was upset by this(( So, I spent excellent time with my family! Thank you for reading my story from my life. And thanks for your channel. It helped me to write the story about my holidays! :)

Thank you for great lesson. I went to Ha Giang by myself for one month. I travelled around, did some hiking and mortorcycling with new friends I met along way, and explored the countryside. I was staying in many different accomdations during the trip, in local houses and homestays , which are surrounded with mountains and villages dotted around the sides. It was beautiful in a wild way, and the emptiness gave me a real feeling of isolation and solitude. I liked the people I met-everyone was so open and welcoming. It's always been a nice memory I've never forgetten

Gina and Jack thank you for this lesson. I went to Tayrona National Park in Colombia, for three days with my boyfriend. Mostly, we hiking on the hills and mountains, we were also enjoying the stunning beaches. We were camping in a very pinturesque place near of the sea. Tayrona National Park is recognized for have a lot of beaches surrouded by nature. We really enjoyed our time here despite to walk over this place is too hard.😊

Thank you for the lesson, it was great, as usual. Last summer I went to the Carpathian mountains for one week with my family. We stayed in a small sleepy town surrounded by picturesque mountains scenery. We lived in a two-store cottage. The best thing was a view from our window. We enjoyed looking at the mountain covered by the forest and surrounded by the clouds. It was amazing. Mostly we went hiking in the mountains and hills nearby looking for mushrooms and blackberry. It was relaxing but on the third day, it started raining and it going on until the last day we were there. But there were a few hours each day without rain usually in the morning and in the evening. We also spend a lot of time just hanging out in the yard near our cottage playing badminton and jumping on a trampoline. I think it was a great idea of cottage's owners to put such sports equipment in the yard. My children liked it so much. There was a river nearby our cottage so we swam there almost every day. I supposed that we were able to ride a bike during our vacation, therefore, we took our bicycles from home. Although the cottage was surrounded by mountains with forest there wasn't any pavement on the street only highway road with speedy traffic. I'm not talking about any cycling paths, it is difficult to find them in our country at all, so it was very dangerous to ride on the bike on this road, especially with the children. I wish we had more opportunity to explore the town on the bike.

My parents and I went to Odessa for two weeks. We went to the beach every day. We often went to the different excursions. Odessa is cosmopolitan and overwhelming but it is dramatic and picturesque city too. There are stunning beaches and there are also many fascinating buildings. I liked the center of Odessa. I disliked that it was big storm for two days and the sea was very cold. In general Odessa is very good place for spend your holidays.

Thank you for examples of stories about holidays. I learned a lot of new vocabulary. My mother and I went to Sochi for a week in November. It was a guided tour which included a lot of cultural activities. We visited the stadiums in the Olympic Park. Fisht, Iceberg and other stadiums have an interesting and unique architectural style. Then we watched the musical show of the fountain which was amazing. The jets of fountain raised to the sounds of classical and rock music. We went up the mountain 2000 km high in a ski lift in Krasnaya Polyana and enjoyed the sight of the summits covered with snow. Also we looked at exotic flowers and trees in Arboretum. The variety of plants is great, and we didn't have enough time to see them all. We recall the cosy atmosphere of these place, and we would like to wander its walkways in the shade of trees. We sampled some of the local cheese, honey and tea and listened to the farmers who produced them. The products were delicious and we learned a lot about their production. Our trip was very eventful and almost every day we walked a lot and visited a great number of places. It was interesting but we were a bit tired.

I went to Greece with a group of children for 18 days. Mostly we went to the sea and swam. We also did sightseeing in Athens. Sometimes our group went to the village and hung out there. It was a very sleepy village. Athens is a stunning city but it is very touristy. Athens has fascinating beaches with blue water. Greece has many picturesque views. I liked the people, they were friendly and welcoming. Sometimes it was boring because all the days were pretty similar. I liked the general atmosphere most of all.

Last vacation, I went to Da Nang with my husband and my son for 3 days. We chose it because it is one of the most beautiful coastal cities. The first day, we visted Hoi An - one of the oldest stresses. It's very picturesque with old houses and colorful lanterns especially in evening. The second day, we did some sightseeing in Ba Na hill. The hill has spectacular and breathtaking views. It was built according to European architecture. So it's very impressive. The last day, we hit the My Khe beach- one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. It's clean and nice. I love going swimming and playing with my son on the sand. I love Da Nang, it is true to say that " Da Nang is the most liveable city in Viet Nam"

I went to Istanbul by myself for a couple of weeks. I really enjoyed my vacation there because there was something new to do everyday even thought the city could be a bit overwhelming, I was surprised by the amount of people on the main street, I usually prefer to stay away of the crowd. I went up to the galata tower and was mesmerized by the view of the city, this trip was the best one so far, I met incredible people and tried local food. Those memories will be in my heart forever.

My wife and I went to Curitiba for five days. We did a lot of sightseeing: Botanical Garden, Ópera de Arame, Santa Felicidade neighbourhood and so on. We also went hiking to the Tanguá Park, which is a fascinating and peaceful place to relax. The downtown is awesome, because there are many shops, restaurants and cafes. It is a very wooded scenery that mixes buildings with nature. There are also other amazing places in the city, but we couldn’t visit all of them. We liked the people we met - everyone was so open and welcoming. It is a stunning city, but by the end we are getting quite tired, because there are so many places to go.

Hi Lucas. Thanks for telling us about your vacation. Here are some corrections for you: 1) 'We also went hiking to Tanguá Park,' not, '...to the'. 2) Even though these places and details exist now in Curitiba, we usually use the past tense to describe the city because it is part of our experience we had there. For example: 'The downtown was so awesome because there were so many shops...' not, 'The downtown is awesome, because there are many shops...'. Hope this is useful for you!

I was in encarnación which is a great beach in Paraguay. I like the people I met everyone was open and welcoming. On the other hand, even though it was summer, some time it was raining heavily and so cold! I wish I'd taken a wonderful day in Paraguay again.

We stayed in a hotel with colorful walls and picturesque view, it looks like Venice in Vietnam. Then, we hit the beach, drank cocktails, watched the sunset. We also went sightseeing the zoo, the aquarium. We took a lot of photos there! And lastly, i really like the people i met, they're so friendly and hospitable. Looking back now, it've always been a nice memory that i would never forgotten.

I went to Turkey last summer with my husband for 10 days. Istanbul is such a picturesque city packed with a rich cultural heritage. Mostly we visited tons of local museums and the infamous Topkapi Palace. The we went to Bursa which gave me the chills, quite literally as it was overwhelmingly cold. Oh and the food, Turkish cuisine is one of the best you will ever eat , absolutely out of this world. We even hit the beaches for some sun, swimming and cocktails! Istanbul has some great ferry rides and is a great place to visit but it's too touristy and crowded for my taste.

I went to Carpathian Mountains with my classmates for a week. At first we went on a walking tour of the sleepy town of Yaremche, where we visited the Hutsul Museum and stunning waterfalls. Then we climbed the Makovitsa mountain, enjoyed dramatic mountain views and breathed the fresh forest air. Moreover, we swam in a gorgeous outdoor swimming pool overlooking the wonderful mountains of the Carpathians. On the one hand, I liked the mountain vacation, because I was impressed by the beauty and nature of the Carpathians. On the other hand, it was a dangerous vacation, because there was often a thunderstorm in the mountains.

I went to Egypt with my family for 8 days. We were constantly sunbathing, swimming in the pool,swam in the sea looking at beautiful fishes and having fun in the stunning water park. We did some sightseeing and took many fascinating pictures. We stay in a picturesque hotel, our room was sleepy and it was good because after having fun in the pool we always wanted to relax and sleep. There were many interesting things to do, but sometimes it got boring.

I went in London two years ago with myself for one week. First of all I stayed at the best hotels in the vicinity of city center. Although it was really expensive but it’s convenient because I had easy access to the biggest shopping center so that during my vacation I went to shopping on a daily basis. Secondly, I hit the beach because I believe that going to the beach can lighten my mood. Then I bought some souvenir for my family. Although London has lots of tourist attractions and it was a cool place but it was really noisy for my taste. Thank you so much dear teacher 🙏💜

It's been about a year since I went to Nghe An province which is my hometown with my mother for a couple of weeks. We lived in my grandparents' house, a typical rural house, and spent most of time visiting relatives. I was happy because they all were strong. We also visited Sen village which is known as the birthplace of President Ho Chi Minh. It's picturesque but a little touristy, maybe because of its famous, I wasn't keen on it. Then we went to the most stunning beach in my hometown, Cua Lo beach, for swimming. Fortunately, it wasn't as crowded as usual and we had a great time here.

I hit the famous lakes and waterfalls nearby my friend's home, camped on Orcas Island, and hiked among huge trees dotted around the camp spot. At night, we stayed in a picturesque village surrounded by the ocean. The day after, I woke up in peace and had good feelings in addition to staying in a nature spot.

Mostly we went some museums which helped me to get useful information of Korean history , the city was pretty awesome and romantic especially at night! and we also hit the beaches and swam with blue water , took some fascinating pictures ,There were lots of other activities to relax However we couldn’t do all of them because we were getting quite tired . In the end of our vacation we got some restaurants and cafes and sampled Korean special dishes but it was too much spicy that i couldn’t eat it anymore. So in all It was such a memorable holiday that i’d ever done

People were strolling along the beach and swimming. I spent a few hours relaxing and really loved the peaceful atmosphere.

I was really longing to try interesting things in the countryside , even it was not my first time here. I stayed at my grandparents' s house , which was in a picturesque, sleepy village. It was covered by green fields and a wide river nearby. Mostly, I spent time with my cousins , who lived throughout their childhood in the countryside. I was really enjoyable to join some daily argicultural activities. We planted rice, grazed buffalo, went fishing together. It was so new for a girl from city like me. The village is a great place with all of nice landscape, fresh air and lovely farmers here. Sometimes, I just feel it 's quite secluded, particularly at night, beacause it absolutely did not have the streetlight.

I went to Pokhara with some of my college friends for a couple of weeks.We did some sightseeing there,phewa lake, begnas lake,sarangkot and many more.We also tried some adventurous sports like ultralight flights,paragliding and so on.It was like nowhere i'd ever been before because of the dramatic mountain scenery as well as various artistic historical places .The tranquility and natural diversity were the things that I enjoyed most of all.

I went to the countryside for two weeks, where my family lives in Laja. Above all, I was going to relax with my mother, my sister, and my friends. We didn't travel anywhere for tourism, it was winter and the weather is so cold and rainy. But we also hang out in town playing cards, cooking and eating. Laja is a quiet and relaxed place, there are not many people, but the nature and the landscape of the lake are very beautiful. It was relaxing but in the end I was getting quite bored, because each day was quite similar.

My family and I went to Crimea for all month. We went on excursions, clibed mountains and swam in the sea. I scuba dived, rode a yacht and flew a helicopter. I really enjoyed the sea. But sometimes there were violent storms and the next day there were many jellyfish. We ate a lot of delicious fruits like lychee, mangosteen, pitahaya, etc.

I went to Odessa with my family and our friends for 14 days. We was in Chernomorsk and Sanjeika too. When we walked from Odessa, we saw that it is very cosmopolitan city, but I liked it. But Odessa has its cons. Very durty sea and small of rotten fish. We often swam in the sea, and we felt that water is stunning. We didn't sampled many food, but I ate watermalon every day, and this fruit is beautiful there. I liked walked along a seaside at 5 am, it is very sleepy and picturesque. I want to go there next summer.

I went to the village with a group of friends for a couple of days in my hometown. We stayed in a picturesque motel, which was decorated with some ancient antiques. Mostly, we traveled around and took some photos on the Love bridge. We also enjoyed playing folk games and eating local food in the restaurant. The people I met- everyone was so friendly and welcoming. On the other hand, I think I liked the general atmosphere most of all. Because it helps me relieve stress, and forget the hustle and bustle of the city.

Thanks a lot. Last summer holiday, I went to DaNang city with my friends for a couple of days. Da Nang city is the most liveable place in the Viet Nam. It is located in the middle of VietNam.We did some sightseeing in DaNang such as the Bana hills, Five-element mountains, Dragon Bridge,..and so on. We hit the beaches in My Khue beach for some sun, swimming and drinking. In addition, we sampled a lot of local delicacies. It's a fascinating place but it's quite touristy, too. The best thing was the food, which was out of the world. The most I feel impressive there are the local people. They are very friendly and easy-going to talk and they are willing to help us whenever we needed and introduced a lot of tourist destinations for us. There are a lot of breathtaking views and spectacular mountains. I love it because it was like nowhere I have ever been before. I hope in near future I will have a chance to visit this beautiful city again.

I went to Mustang with my family for a week. Mostly, we did a Jeep tour driving through the rugged trails in the mountains with a spectacular view of deserted landscapes and light Tibetan settlements. We also did some sightseeing in the famous Dumba lake and local monasteries around and tasted the local apples and the famous Brandy in Marpha. It provided us with best ever experience to explore the unique Tibetan culture and lifestyles. We really liked the people over there, they were so open and welcoming. On the other hand, though it was not winter, the mornings were quite chilling and we wished we had taken warmer jackets.

Excellent lesson again from the best teachers. You offered us amazing vocabulary and It is very useful for all of us because sometimes I miss appropriate words to express my opinion. My last vacation was nothing special. I wasn't so keen of that. I was in one country in the Europe but I am not so overjoyed with that. Me and my girl went to Annul city and spent there 5 days. As far as me I like active holiday while my girl want to take good place on the beach and enjoy there. The adventure sport is not my cup of tea! I like relaxing and do not thinking of anything. Also, I am not risk seeker on the contrary I am risk averse man. I hate the risk tolerant and risk seekers because they are very dangerous for all of us. We visit some famous landmarks in this famous city. We found a lot of people there, it was really crowded, touristy and overwhelming. It is not my favorite. We did some sightseeing in the center of city. we visited Saint LOVRO church, saint Marko cathedral, Riva coast and Helena hill. This town has stunning beaches and we enjoyed there. During the night we were hanging out and hit the pubs. Mostly we went to the restaurants and tried the local cuisine as much as possible. I adore the pasta with cheese. We avoided a big groups when we went to visit some landmarks. We stayed at amazing house surrounded by dramatic mountains. We found one fascinating restaurant with the scrumptious dishes. The food was well prepared just on the way I like, a little bit spicy. At the end of our vacation became a little bit boring. The same activities for every day. There wasn't much variety from one day to the next. I didn't think that our holiday was very interesting, nothing special. For my taste this town is a very crowded, touristy, and overwhelming. I wish it had been less crowded, though. Thank you once again for your effort. Cheers, Ivan.

Last year , I spent my holidays in britain countryside , I can remember every detail of these holidays Well, the village was sleepy and quiet touristy surrounded by a dramatic mountains scenery, it was very calm and it offers the opportunity to do many activities such us mountain hiking and sightseeing and according to me the best activity was safari so that I took plenty pics of the fascinating views and I enjoyed the adventure with my friends Added to that , I went to many restaurants and sampled new kind of food, it was luscious ! And what made me more satisfied with the holidays was the cottage where i stayed during my trip "the Norfolk cottage" As matter as the room fascinated me with its simple traditional design and of course I have to mention the staff that was very welcoming and friendly ! I spent a dream holiday !❤

We visited the church in Jarrier and I danced the pastorelle, a Savoy dance. It was so relaxing.

At night walking around night market with colorful types of decoration makes me like the night atmosphere there most of all.Phuket has a a lot of of stunning beaches covered with soft white sand, but could be a little overwhelming with many foreigners as long as Thailand ethnics ,so therefore it’s quietly difficult to avoid being hit by opposite people for my tastes. This time I wasn’t so keen on the weather ,so I wish it hadn't been so gloomy

Last summer, my little family took a small trip to Phu Quoc Island for 3 days. We stayed in a beautiful hotel. From our room, we can enjoy the whole picturesque scenery of Phu Quoc Island. The first day, we hit Bai Truong beach-one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. The sun blazes and the weather here is very hot. I love going swimming here because the water itself is cool and refreshing. The second day, we did some sightseeing: Ham Ninh fishing village, Phu Quoc prison,...The natural beauty of the village was picturesque and it seemed to me sleepy. At Phu Quoc prison, I had learned more about national history. It is very helpful for me. The last day we all went to the market. I love the seafood so much, all of them was very fresh and tasty! I also bought some souvenirs for my friends. It was a great trip that I will never forget.

Nice answer! Here are three corrections for you: 1. From our room, we *could* enjoy the scenery... 2. 'Picturesque' means that something is beautiful, so you wouldn't say 'the natural beauty was picturesque', because it's redundant. 3. 'Seafood' is uncountable, so you'd say 'all of *it* was very tasty.' Thanks for sharing your answer with us!

Yokohama is a well-known sea port city nearby tokyo.It's was a fascinating trip to be honest. First of all, we decided to go to the Yamashita park where is the gorgeous park with a European style garden and various statues. So we capture the moment by taking lots of memorable photos. Because It has a picturesque view, so we could observe all the stunning views of the sea port. Then we hit the motomachi town which is a pattern of style chinese town. So It's quite overwhelming with much thing going on. We are in favour of chinese cuisine so we appreciated some chinese dishes which was out of the world. Finally we went to visit some architectural chinese pagodas. (it's my last trip and thanks for your reading and check)

Hi, Jina and Jack, thanks for your lesson, it really helps me a lot! I went to Qingdao with my girlfriend for a long weekend. We hung out in the city, encountering many cafés and museums like book museum, film museum and music museum. We went some sightseeing without any guides, just explored by ourselves. We visited the factories of Tsingtao beer, you know, the local speciality. Mostly, We hit the beaches and sampled as much of the local cuisine, especially the seafoods, as we could fit in our stomach. I think the food is the best thing, which was out of this world. Qingdao is a stunning city arounded by dramatic sea scenery, if you overlook the gulf from a viewing platform on the very top of a mountain you can see the picturesque sea level. But of course, there are always something I dislike. I think it’s a bit touristy, the government redeveloped many old areas to attract New tourists, as a result, losing many of its original atmosphere. i’m not so keen on it’s transport there was so many people, cars and bikes on the road, I wish it had been less crowded.

Also, I explored the town by myself and in the evenings I hit the bars for watching football championships and drinking the beers. I tried to do shopping but because I hate it, I preferred to walk on the streets and taste local food. Frankfurt knowns as the crime capital of Germany, but in reality, it's a very sleepy and picturesque town surrounded by a lot of parks. And I felt safe. I like the atmosphere and the people, they so calm and quiet, not like in my city. I disliked the weather throughout my stay, it was cold and rainy. That's why I wish to repeat my visit in the summer, I feel that I missed something.

Jabalpur is in M.P. ,India and is famous for ‘Bhedaghat’ .It’s a stunning waterfall with spectacular views. We clicked some selfies by standing on a platform just beside the fall. We also went for boating, which was super adventurous for us , as we were fortunate enough to see some Crocodiles during the boating tour. There were fascinating views of marble rocks around us , as we sailed through the river. Last but not least ,the food here was sumptuous.

As far as my last holiday I can say that was stunning holiday with a lot of surprises. My girlfriend and I visited one amazing small country near the Atlantic ocean. We spent miraculous vacation and it was an unforgettable event in our lives. Although my favorite place is countryside we enjoying there among natural environment without people. I do not like overwhelming places with a lot of people, lot of energy and activities. I like calm, still places where I can hear wild birds. I like more active holiday wit a lot of activities. I can not stand just watching TV in the hotel's room. The first our activity was when we visited the countryside near the beach. We just hung out in that village, playing cards and eating the local food. By the way I am real PICKY MAN and picky eater and I like eating different meals from the different countries and different cultures. Also we were hiking because there was small hill bellow mountain. We didn't have any particular goal, we just were relaxed there. After our visit we hit the beaches near the town. It was very hot day and we were lucky that we sunburned all day. We were swimming, diving and cocktails. We heard that is the very famous place and a lot of people coming here. It was a little bit crowded for my taste but what can we do, we are on a holiday, who cares for others. This place has a lot of landmarks. The most important landmarks is Saint Marko church. Also it is possible to find Mangala hill and a lot of other landmarks including scrumptious food. We really had a good time. My favorite activities are to try as much local cuisine as possible. We tried a lot of meals and international cuisines like Indian, Italian, Moroccan and so many. My favorite meal was octopus under the oven. It is special meal from this place and I can recommend it meal. Scrumptious! As far as my hotel, it was situated in small picturesque village surrounded by dramatic scenery. Mountains, rivers and lakes are beautiful and impressive. During the mooning time I sensed like wealthy man in the nicest villa. The village really was quiet and peaceful in the morning. Ten days in that stunning place, wonderful. I do not like cosmopolitan places because you can find a lot of people from all the world. The most bad thing when you feel different smells from different people. Disgusting. Also if the town is touristy I avoid that places. That's all from my side. Take care.

During that month we went to a near country side for some extreme adventure such as water rafting, jet skiing and zip lining for over a week with our family and friends. We also sampled ourselves with some local cuisines. The place was picturesque and quiet surrounded by dramatic mountains. We enjoyed it a lot, but almost the end of the week my energy almost got drained with all the activities throughout the week that we don't have time to relax or just hang out.

Thanks for sharing. Here are some corrections: 1) 'We also sampled some of the local cuisine,' not, 'We also sampled ourselves with some local cuisines'. 2) '...but at almost the end of the week...' not, '...almost the end of the week...'. 3) '...that we didn't have time to relax...' not, 'don't'. Hope that helps you!

I went to Shanghai with my boyfriend for a long weekend. I wanted to look for some memory because I got my bachelor degree three years ago at this international big city. We visited some friends who worked there and they treated us with a big meal. And we just hung out in my university campus that is very picturesque, quite because of rainy days. Mostly, we wandered around the campus by sharing bikes. It was very relaxing but the time was limited so we had to return to our working city by train. I like the city which is modern, fashionable and open. But there are very crowded streets, busy traffic and make me feel stressful. I love Oxford online English. And thanks very much for your every topic and each comments. I have a dream that I can speak very fluent English just one day. So I will spend more time on practice of oral and writing English. Thanks for your sharing and help.

Thank you for your response, Zwy! Here are a few suggestions for you: 1) '...because three years ago I got my bachelor's degree in this big, international city' not, '...because I got my bachelor degree three years ago at this international big city'. 2) Do the friends currently work there? If so, you should say: 'We visited some friends who work there...' not, 'worked'. 3) '...hung out on my university campus which is very picturesque,' not, '...hung out in my university campus that is very picturesque'. Hope this helps you!

I went to the camp with my friends for a week. I socialized with many interesting people, took a lot of magnificent pictures and went on a tour of the city. The city was stunning but touristy and overwhelming to my mind. Mostly we swam in the picturesque sea, play games and ate. In addition, I bought souvenirs for my parents. It was awesome but sometimes it rained so we couldn't go to the sea. After camp, I went to an Anime K-Pop Fest.

My husband and I went to Langkawi for vacation last week. although Langkawi is a touristy island in Malaysia since we went there during the weekdays it wasn't crowded at all. we had so much fun there and I even tried jet skiing for the first time and I found it fascinating. we stayed in a luxurious resort and enjoyed the stunning private beaches. we went sightseeing and visited the sky bridge which is a tourist attraction. the bridge has a picturesque view of the whole island and the ocean. I liked sunbathing and relaxing on the beach most of all. despite the rainy weather on some days, we made the most out of our vacation.

Thanks for watching and sharing. Here are a few suggestions for you: 1) '...in Malaysia, since we went there during the week, it wasn't crowded...' not, '...in Malaysia since we went there during the weekdays it wasn't crowded...' 2) Don't forget to capitalize the first letter of every sentence: '...week. Although...fascinating. We stayed...' 3) 'We stayed at a luxurious resort...' is a bit better than, 'We stayed in a luxurious resort...' Hope this helps you!

Thank you for the lesson, it was really useful! This is my practice: I went the İzmir with my family for ten days. We did some sightseeing in İzmir such as Efes Ancient City and Sirince Village. Then we hit the beaches in İzmir for some sun and swimming. Mostly, we went to restaurants and sampled as much of the local cuisine as we could fit our stomachs. It is a fascinating place but it is quite touristy, too. The city could be a bit overwhelming, I was surprised by the amount of people on the main street. However, those memories will be in my heart forever.

My husband and I went to Đà Lạt for honeymoon in 5 days. We did some beautiful sightseeing, such as: Love Valley, The Clay Village, and City Park. We took a stroll at night market and enjoyed a lot of delicious local meals. I like the weather the most, fresh and a little bit cold, but in the end I was getting bored because each day was quite resemlbe.
