Mega Grand World: Venice in Hanoi
Vietnam’s intriguing blend of natural splendour and audacious artificial creations continues to captivate travellers from around the world. Known for its breathtaking landscapes, Vietnam is also a country that isn’t afraid to dream big when it comes to man-made attractions. While many visitors flock to the awe-inspiring limestone formations of Ha Long Bay and Ninh Binh, just as many are drawn to the striking artificial wonders that the country proudly showcases.
Ba Na Hills, with its iconic Golden Bridge held aloft by giant stone hands, is a prime example of how Vietnam marries its natural beauty with imaginative architecture.
Not to be outdone, Phu Quoc, an island that could easily rest on its laurels as a tropical paradise, has been transformed into a sprawling theme park destination, attracting those who seek thrills and family-friendly entertainment.
Adding to this array of man-made marvels is Hanoi’s latest venture, the Mega Grand World.
Situated about 30 kilometres from the city centre, this ‘faux’ city is a testament to Vietnam’s growing fascination with creating immersive experiences. At Mega Grand World, visitors can step into a world of European charm without leaving Southeast Asia. With over 800 shops lining the streets, this bustling trade port replica invites you to shop, explore, and even enjoy a Gondola ride along an 830-metre canal. The attention to detail is remarkable, with sculptures and water features adorning the squares, evoking the romance and elegance of Venice.
But Mega Grand World doesn’t stop there. The K-Town area within the complex transports visitors to the vibrant streets of modern Korea. It captures the essence of Gangnam’s chic vibe, Itaewon’s diverse culture, Hongdae’s artistic flair, and Myeongdong’s bustling shopping scene. Whether you’re in the mood for fashion, food, or just a dose of Korean pop culture, K-Town has something to offer.
Also, for those seeking even more entertainment, the Grand Voyage show provides a dazzling sound and light display, bringing the entire experience to life in a spectacular way. With so much to see and do, a visit to Mega Grand World is more than just a day out—it’s an adventure that spans continents, cultures, and time, all within the boundaries of Vietnam.
