☕ From The Café Apartment to Shinrin Spa – A Day Full of Flavor and Relaxation in Saigon

🗺 During my trip to Ho Chi Minh City, one of the places that intrigued me the most was The Café Apartment – a famous old apartment building located right on Nguyen Hue Walking Street 🏙. Each unit inside this multi-story building has been transformed into a unique café, boutique shop, or small eatery.

🚶‍♂️ Exploring The Café Apartment: I walked up the stairs (you can take the elevator too!) to visit each floor one by one. Every café has its own style: from vintage vibes 🎞, to bohemian 🌿, to chic modern minimalism ✨. I picked a cozy café on a higher floor, sat by the balcony with a glass of iced milk coffee ☕ and watched the lively Nguyen Hue promenade below 🚶‍♀️🎶.

📸 It’s truly a paradise for photography lovers because every corner has a unique charm. After about two hours of sipping coffee and taking photos, my shoulders and legs started to feel sore — a sign that I needed some relaxation.

💆‍♀️ Finding Shinrin Spa: Not far from the city center, I discovered Shinrin Spa 🌿 — a peaceful oasis tucked within the fast rhythm of Saigon.

🚪 First impressions: As soon as I stepped inside, I was welcomed by the soothing aroma of essential oils 🕯, soft lighting and calming music 🌊. My body and mind instantly began to unwind.

🔥 Massage experience: I chose a full-body hot stone massage 🔥. The therapist’s techniques were truly excellent 🎯 — firm pressure, focusing perfectly on my tired shoulders, neck and legs. After just one session, I felt completely recharged ⚡ and ready for the rest of my adventure.

🌸 What I loved: Besides massages, Shinrin Spa also offers various services like skincare 💧, body exfoliation 🛁, herbal therapies 🌿 — all using natural products in an exceptionally clean and tranquil environment.
