Ms. Bui Trang Nhung (from Ho Chi Minh City) is a person with a special passion for fashion and travel. In addition to enjoying the beautiful scenery, on each trip, she also invests in dozens of different outfits that are meticulously designed and suitable for the context of each destination.
Most recently, Ms. Nhung had a trip to Turkey from September 8 - 13, including a 9D4D experience in Cappadocia (because the flight was long and had to connect from the capital Istanbul to Cappadocia, the flight time was every afternoon takes about 3 day).
The flight time from Ho Chi Minh City to Turkey is quite long, so Ms. Nhung booked a business class ticket at a cost of 186 million VND/2 people so she could rest comfortably.

At this time, the Cappadocia area has cool, pleasant weather and fresh air, suitable for outdoor exploration activities and immersion in nature. Previously, she had the opportunity to set foot in a number of countries in Europe and the UAE, Australia, Japan, Maldives,...
Cappadocia is in Nevsehir province, central Turkey, 290 km from the capital Ankara. This area has impressive natural scenery, especially famous for the rocky mushroom valley, which is considered a must-visit place for tourists to see hot air balloons.
In 1985, Cappadocia was recognized by UNESCO as a world natural heritage.
Not only hot air balloons, in Cappadocia there are many other famous tourist destinations such as: Goreme - the busiest and most vibrant village in the valley; mushroom village located in the middle of the Monk valley; Uchisar fortress and especially Derinkuyu - the largest underground city in the world today.
Before the trip, the female tourist from Ho Chi Minh City also spent a lot of time learning about destinations in Cappadocia to choose suitable outfits for taking photos and checking in.
Ms. Nhung said that similar to other foreign trips, before each trip, she has to plan at least 2-3 months in advance such as preparing visas, costumes, booking hotels and filming crew. movies, photo shoots, etc. Especially this time, she brought 20 outfits to Turkey.
Among them, she was most impressed and enthusiastic with the innovative ao dai with a mysterious style. This outfit was chosen by her to be photographed in a cave that has no name, is not a famous place and is known to almost only local people.
According to the photographer, this cave was created from a crack in a mountain due to seismic and earthquake impacts. Inside this area is a cliff shaped like the face of an extremely interesting man.
"Even though the way into the cave is not easy, the path is quite small, the space is hot and dusty, but there are many couples of brides and grooms lining up from outside waiting for their turn to take photos," Ms. Nhung said. .
Ms. Nhung brought 4 suitcases of clothes with about 20 outfits and many accessories to Turkey to take photos.
Another set of photos that the female tourist from Ho Chi Minh City also liked and was most touched by was the moment of enjoying the sunset with a glowing dress creating a highlight.
“At that time, I felt really small in the vastness of nature. I saw that the man who has always stood behind every photo shoot and accompanied me on every trip for nearly 7 years was so dedicated and enthusiastic about my hobby. . Besides that, there is also the enthusiasm and responsibility of the entire team. They don't want to stop, don't want to miss a moment before it's dark, just so they can have sparkling pictures," she added.
Ms. Nhung also admitted that the experience of walking among a herd of galloping horses made her the most scared, her face could not hide the worry and trembling. However, thinking about the quality and impressive photos and the efforts of the entire team, she tried to overcome and complete the photo set according to her own concept.
In addition to taking pictures and enjoying the beautiful scenery, the young girl admitted that she was also very excited to experience the "unique" hotel in Cappadocia. Ms. Nhung booked a room at Museum Hotel - the most luxurious cave hotel in the world today with beautiful scenery like a movie and very unique architecture.
The hotel is located in the center of Anatolia, has a total of 30 luxuriously designed rooms with a lovely garden and especially a heated swimming pool on the rooftop.
Thanks to the prime location of Museum Hotel Cappadocia, visitors staying here can expand their panoramic views of famous places such as Avanos, Göreme, Love Valley, Pigeon Valley, Red Valley,... from any space of the hotel.
While exploring Cappadocia, the beautiful female tourist also spent time experiencing many interesting activities such as flying hot air balloons,... checking in to some beautiful places.
Ms. Nhung said that seeing a hot air balloon in Cappadocia is quite "unlucky" because the hot air balloon companies here only operate in the morning, from about 5:30 to 6:30. "And it's not every day that hot air balloons fly because if there's just a little bit of wind in the weather, everything has to stop working," she said.
Each hot air balloon can accommodate about 15 - 20 tourists/trip and costs range from 5 - 10 million VND/person/turn, depending on airline choice.
On the first morning in Cappadocia, Ms. Nhung spent all her time taking photos, creating the most important set of photos with the desire to capture the moment of "a sky filled with hot air balloons" and the experience of sitting on a swing hanging from the main building. the hot air balloon that she rented privately.
“At that time, I was shaken and overwhelmed by everything, so my photography performance was not as expected. I also forgot to record a video for this first photo shoot. Sitting on the swing is not easy, it often shakes, tilts and makes me feel dizzy.
Not to mention the time the hot air balloon flies in the sky only lasts about 40 minutes, so in order to take beautiful photos, the whole crew has to race against time, orient the shooting location accordingly, and choose according to the wind direction that day. Besides, the roads in this area are also rough, with a lot of dirt, rocks, sand and dust, making traveling more difficult,...", Ms. Nhung recalled her first memorable photo shoot in Cappadocia with a hot air balloon.
The young girl also revealed that she hired a different photography crew every day to take the most satisfactory photos while exploring the "world's most beautiful hot air balloon" place. Photography costs range from 700 - 1000 EUR (18 - 25 million VND) for 2-3 hours (not including car rental, show horse, hot air balloon, etc.)
Ms. Nhung expressed that, with the interesting experiences and series of impressive photos she had during her time exploring in Cappadocia, Turkey, no matter how much money she spent, she felt satisfied and worth it. .
“I think, if you can take pictures, then take them. If you can record memories, then take them… Because every day you are in this world is a moment worth preserving and 10 years from now, definitely we cannot capture the same appearance as it is now. I will also try to arrange my time, work and finances so that I can do more trips and more unique photo shoots in the future," Ms. Nhung confided.
