Combine a trip to Hong Kong with a concert, why not?
In recent years, the trend of overseas travel combined with attending concerts has become increasingly popular among Vietnamese youth, with favorite destinations including South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan. If you're just going to a concert for one night, it might feel incomplete. Adding a few days of travel will surely make your trip much more fulfilling.
If you're planning to attend Above & Beyond's show in Hong Kong this September, Vietnam Booking recommends a super budget-friendly 2-day, 1-night trip to Hong Kong.
Day 1: (Saturday, September 29)

Upon arrival in Fragrant Harbor, with a few hours before the show, you can explore the city with destinations like Statue Square, Avenue of Stars, or Exhibition Center. Then, dine at a Hong Kong restaurant for dinner before heading to the Group Therapy night.
Day 2: (Sunday)

With Dai Nai Son, you can take a cable car ride to admire the panoramic view of Fragrant Harbor, visit the largest Thich Ca Buddha statue in Asia, and explore many other breathtaking landscapes. Alternatively, if you want to experience the enchanting world of Disneyland on a global scale, with thousands of games, the adventure is equally exciting.
