Sharing a passion for travel and admiring beautiful scenery, Huynh Ly Hung, a photographer living in My Tho City, Tien Giang Province, and his wife have been planning a journey to the beautiful destinations of Vietnam in a unique vehicle. He calls it a "mobile home," fully equipped with amenities including a bed, wardrobe, shelves, and even a shower. With an initial cost of 90 million VND for a used vehicle, Ly Hung independently researched, designed, and built his family's multi-functional vehicle.
To explore the pristine and majestic natural beauty of Vietnam, not every place offers convenient and safe accommodation. "There were some very beautiful, unspoiled locations on our family's trip that lacked hotels or homestays. This motivated me to design a versatile vehicle that would be invaluable for our family's exploration of Vietnam," Hung shared with Travellive.
Hung's family's 10-day journey exploring Vietnam in their mobile home began in July 2020. Starting from My Tho, the family traveled through Tri An Lake, Phan Thiet, Da Lat, Vung Tau, and then returned to My Tho. Sharing about the exciting aspects of their trip, Hung said: "With a mobile home, we can stop anywhere along the way, enjoying the rich and magnificent natural scenery. Most importantly, my small family can admire and immerse ourselves in the most beautiful landscapes of Vietnam."
At each destination, the family will sleep in the car, pitch tents, or stay in homestays depending on the local conditions.
With a journey of 1,700 km round trip, Hung's family also encountered many difficulties. Some stretches of road were beautiful but had limited access, making it impossible for their "mobile home" to reach them. There were also sections of muddy, sandy roads where the vehicle easily got stuck, requiring the use of anti-slip accessories to easily navigate.
The images capturing the beautiful scenery in each place that Hung's family traveled through evoke a feeling of warmth, happiness, and inspiration for those who love to travel. For Hung's family, this recent trip was not only a vibrant summer experience but also a test run for their future cross-Vietnam journey.
Hung's family is planning a cross-Vietnam trip in their "mobile home".
Anh Hung will continue to improve and overcome the limitations of the vehicle, preparing it for longer journeys in the future.
