🌸💆♀️ Shinrin Spa – A Peaceful Pause Amidst the Rhythm of Saigon 💆♂️🌸
🧳 On my first trip to Ho Chi Minh City, I chose a hotel near the 🏛 Independence Palace for easy sightseeing. The area was lively and full of energy — every day, I spent hours walking around exploring cafes ☕, local streets, and historical landmarks 📸. But soon, my body started to feel the fatigue.
🌿 One afternoon, while looking for a place to rest, I noticed a sign for Shinrin Spa. The exterior looked elegant and refined ✨, so I decided to give it a try — and it turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences of my trip.
🚪 Stepping inside felt like entering another world: soft golden light 🕯, the gentle aroma of herbs 🌺, and soothing background music 🎶. The staff welcomed me with a warm smile 😊 and a cup of hot tea 🍵, then carefully asked about the areas where I felt sore.
💆♀️ I chose the full-body essential oil massage 🌸. The therapist’s movements were slow, steady, and precise — focusing on my neck, shoulders, and back, where tension had built up from days of travel 🚶♀️. With each press and stroke, I felt all the stress melt away ✨.
🌟 What impressed me most was the attention to detail: the room temperature was perfectly warm, the towels were soft, the aroma was relaxing but not overpowering, and after the session, I was served more tea 🍵 and small biscuits 🍪.
📍 Location: 178/2 Pasteur Street, Saigon Ward, Ho Chi Minh City – near the 🏛 Independence Palace
