9. Describing the Doi Son Amusement Park (Part 1)
Vietnam, a country with endless beauty, is filled with countless scenic spots. Last year, as an outstanding student, my mother rewarded me with a trip to the stunning Doi Son.
Oh, Doi Son is so beautiful! It was the first day of summer, and the place was bustling with people. To the east, the sun was rising like a glowing red copper basin over the mountains. The golden sunlight danced across the sea. Far in the distance, rolling mountains stretched endlessly, with hotels and restaurants standing close together. The road to the hotels was narrow but very clean, and occasionally, signs along the way reminded tourists of local attractions.
On one side, there was the beach, and on the other, the water park. Over there, we slid down water slides with our parents, laughing with joy. On this side was the ball pit, where we threw colorful balls, having a blast. On the sandy beach, we built sandcastles as the crystal-clear sea waves gently washed over them. The sea changed color depending on the clouds and the sky, almost like it had emotions. Seagulls soared overhead, and in the distance, the sails of boats looked like fluttering butterflies. On the shore, people were happily chatting. The bright umbrellas looked like giant mushrooms, and behind them stood rows of pine trees swaying in the wind. Everyone was dressed in their best clothes. In the distance, some boats waited to take visitors on tours. On the surface of the water, floating buoys drifted lazily. The sand here is so fine, and the water is refreshingly cool and clear. By now, the sun was high, and the water sparkled like a thousand diamonds. It was truly a beautiful sight. Some tourists were taking pictures to remember the moment. My mother and I bought a seashell and a wind chime as souvenirs.
Oh! Doi Son beach is incredibly beautiful! This trip is one I will never forget, and I hope I’ll have the chance to visit again in the future.


10. Describing the Doi Son Amusement Park (Part 2)
Last summer, my family took a trip to Doi Son, and it left me with unforgettable memories.
It was early in the morning when we set off, and after an hour, we arrived at the Doi Son Zone One. The weather was perfect – clear skies and a cool breeze. The sun, like a fiery ball, slowly rose above the sea, casting a pink glow over the waters. The beach in the morning was truly beautiful. Groups of fishing boats set out to sea, their sails fluttering like butterflies. The sand was smooth, and the waves crashed onto the shore, frothing white. On the shore, the pine trees whispered in the breeze, singing along with the rhythm of the sea.
My mother and I rented inflatable floats. The beach was crowded with people. The sound of the wind whistled, blending with the thunderous waves hitting the rocks. The waves carried my float far out, only to bring it back toward the shore. I splashed around in the water, which was salty yet clear. My mother held my hand, and we walked along the beach in the warm morning sun. The golden light dripped over us, and my sister and I had fun building beautiful sandcastles. But the big waves swept them away, and I felt a little sad. My sister and I ran along the shore, chasing the wind. She found so many beautiful seashells. Afterward, our family went to a small restaurant along the road for lunch. It was a joyful meal. My mother ordered lobster – large, red, and delicious, as big as my arm! My sister and I loved the salted shrimp crackers. They tasted so good! After lunch, we rested in a small café, enjoying the cool sea breeze. My father napped, while my mother wandered around enjoying the view. I was fascinated by all the toys on display. In the afternoon, my mother took my sister and me to the water park. We tried so many different rides. I crawled through water tubes, closed my eyes, and slid down from high slides, laughing and splashing in the water. Soon it was 4 PM, and we drove to Zone Three. The sunset over the sea was breathtaking. The pine forest sang in the wind, greeting us warmly. It was so relaxing! Beautiful! My family stayed there until 6 PM before we headed home.
Our trip to Doi Son last summer was amazing! I will never forget the one-of-a-kind beauty of Doi Son Beach. I’ve grown to love the beauty of my homeland even more. I hope Doi Son Beach stays beautiful, and I can visit again next year.


11. Ba To Park in Quang Ngai
When visiting Quang Ngai, no traveler should miss Ba To Park in my hometown. The park is located next to the Tra River, with clear waters and a peaceful atmosphere year-round. On beautiful mornings, visiting the park offers a sense of joy and tranquility.
From a distance, the park looks like a colorful carpet, with dew still glistening on the plants. Tall pine trees surround the park to the north and east, their melodies carried by the wind. From the west bank of the Tra River, rows of trees stretch out, casting their shadows on the still water. The park’s entrance is on the south side, and upon entering, pathways lined with red bricks and cement lead visitors through the park. Along these paths are large flower beds with a variety of flowers: lush red roses, white roses, bright yellow sunflowers, vibrant chrysanthemums, and many more, all blooming in the bright morning sunlight. Next to the flowers are carefully trimmed ornamental trees shaped like animals, creating a magical atmosphere. We feel like we’ve stepped into a fairy tale world. There are deer with wide eyes staring at visitors, and sparrows pecking at the grass in search of food. In the middle of the park are two large artificial hills, surrounded by trees and animals, resembling a miniature forest. Heading west, you’ll find a pond full of colorful ornamental fish swimming lazily around purple flower beds. To the east, two small hills are covered in green grass, offering a great view of the entire park. Scattered throughout the park are colorful stone benches under the shade of trees, perfect for relaxing. Extending out over the Tra River is a sturdy pavilion with an intricate architectural design. From there, you can see the Tra Khuc Bridge crossing the river, with villages stretching along its banks, rich and thriving.
When the sun rises higher, the sunlight reflects off the river, creating a vivid red and golden glow. All the colors and fragrances in the park come together, creating a unique atmosphere that leaves visitors wanting to return.
The park is busiest on Sundays, especially in the morning. Tourists come to take photos and make memories. The sound of birds singing and children playing fills the air with energy. I love the park, as it holds many childhood memories for me. I hope my hometown’s park always preserves its dreamy beauty.


12. Visit to the City’s Amusement Park
After a week of hard studying, last Sunday my parents took me to the city’s amusement park. I really love this park, even though I have visited it many times before, each visit brings something new and exciting.
From a distance, the amusement park looks like a vibrant painting, with each ride painted in a different color. The park is located at the heart of the city, on the 8th floor of a tall building. The park is aptly named ‘Fairy Tale Garden,’ probably because its owner wanted to create a magical, colorful world for children like me. As I get closer, I see that the park is divided into several sections, each spacious enough to house a different ride. On the left side of the park is a seesaw area, with wooden, metal, and plastic planks painted in rainbow colors. This area is mainly for younger children, but I enjoy playing here too. Next to it is the inflatable house, ball pit, and slide. Each section is carefully arranged. Colorful balls bring joy to the kids, while nearby, there are bouncing animals like dolphins, golden-maned lions, fierce tigers, and cute zebras. Further along is the car racing game, followed by ping pong, basketball, and other fun games. My favorite ride here is the wooden horse carousel. The white or golden horses are arranged in two large circles that spin around a giant axis. Each horse has a unique design and expression, but all of them are adorable. Every time I visit, this is the first ride I go on. I love the feeling of sitting on the horse as it spins in circles.
The amusement park is usually very crowded on weekends. Children are happily playing, chasing each other, laughing out loud. Parents of these kids either join in the fun or stand on the sidelines, keeping a watchful eye on their little ones and smiling with joy. I can see my mom standing outside the carousel, waving at me. She looks so happy with her bright smile.
Weekends at the amusement park are always the most fun times for me. During these moments, my parents take me to explore and enjoy various rides, and we have the chance to chat and spend quality time together after a busy week of schoolwork.


13. Nghia Do Park - Hanoi
My school is located right across from Nghia Do Park, so almost every day, I get a chance to admire the lively and joyful atmosphere there. Whenever my grandfather picks me up, we always take a stroll through the park.
As evening falls and the sun begins to set in the west, the golden rays bathe the park in a warm glow. Nghia Do Park has two entrances: one on Nguyen Van Huyen street and another on To Hieu street. The gates are large, painted in a bright yellow color with the words “Nghia Do Park” elegantly carved in red above. Stepping inside, you’re greeted by a fairy-tale garden, with lush green trees swaying in the breeze. The flamboyant, purple-flowered Lagerstroemia trees, and the bright red blossoms of the loc vung tree, all seem to dance in the wind. The park’s grass is thick and soft like a carpet. At the center of the park is a large pond with calm, green water rippling gently. Some elderly people sit by the water’s edge, fishing and chatting joyfully, while joggers run along the path that circles the pond.
Nghia Do Park is always bustling with people. My favorite part is the playground, located on a patch of artificial green grass. We kids enjoy a variety of activities: swinging, playing on seesaws, and crossing rope bridges. My favorite game is climbing the spider web ropes. The ropes are woven tightly, and we race each other to climb as high as we can, jumping from one spot to another. Every time I reach the top, I feel proud of my achievement. One time, my siblings and I went roller-skating at the park, but I fell and cried uncontrollably. I noticed that the other children were watching me, and I quickly quieted down. Since then, I’ve been extra careful to avoid falling again.
Every day, Nghia Do Park is crowded and lively. It’s a place that brings us endless joy and countless memories. Even as we grow older, I’m sure these memories will never fade away.


14. Thu Le Park - Hanoi (Part 1)
Thu Le Park is one of my favorite places for recreation and fun. During the long holiday weekend of April 30th and May 1st, my parents took me there to unwind before the final exam of my primary school. The park has three gates: two main entrances and one side gate. Entering through the western gate, painted in olive green, I immediately spotted a beautiful fountain. Behind it lies an amusement area with bumper cars, paddle boats, inflatable houses, and ball-tossing games. Each activity has its own charm, but my favorite is the paddle boats. I can relax, enjoy the scenery, have snacks on the boat, and feel like I'm on a small cruise ship. The path leading to the animal enclosures is lined with gracefully curved bridges. The park was lively that day, filled with children and visitors of all ages. I could already hear the roar of lions and tigers echoing through the park, as if they were announcing their presence. The leopards, known for their incredible speed and agility, moved lazily around their enclosures, greeting the visitors. The playful monkeys, skilled in mimicking human actions, took bananas from visitors and affectionately groomed each other while climbing nimbly. I felt a bit sorry for the gentle elephant, whose big ears and tail constantly swayed, trying to brush away the bothersome insects. Its trunk, flexible and soft, grabbed grass to munch on. Under the metal cage, the 'water heroes' – crocodiles – lay still like concrete, exposing their sharp, terrifying teeth. Passing through the wild animal section, I reached the small mammals area. The white mice wandered in a small metal cage, while the wild rabbits hopped around their pen, looking adorable. On the other side of the park, a few deer grazed quietly, then walked away like they were shy. A small bridge led to the poultry section. Here, I heard the lively sounds of birds chirping, ducks quacking, and roosters crowing. The peacocks showed off their colorful feathers for visitors to admire, while the pheasants with their beautiful crests hopped around, singing merrily. As I strolled towards the Voi Phuc Temple, I was drawn to a group of middle-aged men making and selling colorful dough figurines. My dad bought me figurines of Sun Wukong, Tang Seng, Zhu Bajie, and the White Bone Demon, all skillfully crafted from colored dough. By late afternoon, my feet were sore, and my parents bought me a delicious rice-flavored ice cream. Just as I was finishing the ice cream, I spotted a newly built gate leading to Kim Ma Street. From Kim Ma Street, the view of Thu Le Park was stunning. The clear lake surrounded by dense greenery, while graceful swans carried couples, enjoying the breeze. The golden sunlight cast on the tall Daewoo Hotel, reflecting on the lake to create a picture-perfect scene. I love visiting Thu Le Park because every time I go, I discover something new and exciting about nature. I hope the park will have more animals for us and other children to enjoy. And I wish Thu Le Park will always remain clean and green, truly becoming the city's 'lungs.'


15. Thu Le Park - Hanoi (Part 2)
Hanoi has so many fun and exciting places: modern water parks, the expansive Thong Nhat Park, and more. But the park closest to my heart is Thu Le Park, located at the end of Kim Ma Street. While it opened around the same time as Thong Nhat Park, Thu Le Park is much smaller. The entrance gate has been recently renovated, now much bigger and more beautiful. The green gate greets visitors with open arms, welcoming everyone to stroll along the clean brick pathways. I love admiring the lush green grass with morning dew drops, and the bright yellow and white chrysanthemums blooming in the morning sun. In the past, Thu Le Park was rather quiet, but now it’s bustling with visitors all week long. Here, I can not only observe rare animals but also enjoy various fun activities. The largest area is the animal enclosures: elephants, rhinos, crocodiles, and even lions with their majestic manes, along with the gentle, confused deer. My favorite part is standing on a high mound, watching the enormous elephants. Sometimes, a playful baby elephant sprays water from the lake onto its mother, while its ears flap in delight. When you're tired, you can rest on a cool stone bench or lie on the soft grass by the lake. In the summer afternoons, it's so much fun to ride the paddle boats on the lake. The sun, a red ball of fire, turns the water from clear to a vibrant pink. The pure white swan boats glide gracefully across the lake, taking visitors around to enjoy the scenery. Thu Le Park is an essential place for entertainment and relaxation in everyone's life. I dream of becoming a successful businessperson one day to help make this park even more beautiful, perhaps rivaling the fun of Hong Kong's Disneyland.


16. Thu Le Park - Hanoi (Part 3)
I've been to many different places with my parents and siblings, and every place has left a unique and unforgettable impression on me. During the summer vacation of my fourth grade, my siblings took me to visit Thu Le Park, a well-known entertainment and recreational spot in Hanoi. The visit left me with many vivid images and emotions.
After a tough school year, my sister rewarded me with a trip to Hanoi, where she works. Thu Le Park was the highlight of the trip. The park is located on Kim Ma Street, spacious, fresh, and cool. From a distance, the park looks like a grand castle. There are three gates: two main gates and one side gate. My sister led me through the main gate painted in dark green on the west side. As soon as we entered, a magical world opened up before my eyes.
The sight of the magnificent fountain, splashing water like a miniature waterfall, was breathtaking. The water bubbled up and cascaded gently, creating a soft, smooth display. Behind the fountain lies the area that every child would love—the playground filled with exciting rides, a Ferris wheel, a mini train, a bouncing house, and bumper cars, all painted in bright, cheerful colors. Each attraction exuded its own charm. People chose their rides, and the sounds of laughter from children and adults blended with the cheerful music, making my heart race with excitement. The centerpiece of the park is a beautiful lake, situated between the amusement area and the zoo. The water is a stunning shade of emerald, and the afternoon sun makes the surface shimmer like silver. On the lake, oversized inflatable ducks float lazily, the signature paddle boats everyone wants to try.
A white bridge arches over the lake, connecting the amusement park to the zoo. I followed the crowd across the bridge to the zoo, where I could see all kinds of animals being cared for and protected. The animals attracted the curiosity of many children, creating a festive atmosphere. From a distance, I could already hear the mighty roar of a lion. Next to the lion's enclosure was the tiger's cage—the king of the jungle—followed by the beautiful leopard, which, despite its incredible speed, lay down calmly and stared at onlookers.
The zoo also houses a variety of primates, such as monkeys and apes. The monkeys, quick and playful, acted like humans, climbing all over the place and communicating with each other in their unique language. As I passed by the monkeys, I spotted a huge elephant with large ears like fans, swaying its long tail in a relaxed manner, its trunk swinging back and forth in an endearing way. Nearby, there were ostriches, deer, and even a couple of proud peacocks with their magnificent, colorful tails spread wide like giant fans. There were many other animals to admire, including pheasants, wild turkeys, and more, each showcasing their unique beauty. The children, including me, could hardly tear ourselves away from the sight.
In addition to the animals, Thu Le Park offered other fun experiences. A middle-aged man sat carefully crafting traditional toy figurines from dough, and with his skilled hands, he shaped them into various figures. Colorful balloons in the shapes of cats, fish, birds, superheroes, and princesses dangled from the carts of street vendors. Cold ice cream, sweet cotton candy, and many other tempting treats were sold throughout the park. The place was bustling with people—some enjoying the attractions, others exercising—but everyone was enjoying the fresh air and relaxing atmosphere in the middle of the busy, noisy city.
As the sun set, it was time to say goodbye to the beautiful park. I left with my sister, but the memories of that day still fill me with excitement. Thu Le Park is truly a delightful and enriching place to visit, and I’m sure I’ll return to enjoy the wonderful atmosphere again.
