Part 16. Winperland in Fukuoka.
In total, there are 2 Vinperland parks in Vietnam - in Nha Trang and Phu Quoc. But Vinpearl Land also has "semi-parks" in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Danag and Halong. These are skating rinks, an aquarium, an underground water park, play areas and a children's city of professions. And just recently, when we had already returned home from Vietnam, a safari park opened in Phu Quoc.
The coolest park, of course, in Nha Trang. And we had it in the first edition of the route, but then we decided not to go to Nha Trang and I looked after Winperland in Fukuoka. Ira, my fellow traveler, had not yet fallen into childhood, so I went to the park alone. And I haven't been out since I was a child. And I probably won't leave.
I really need to go there!
To get to Winperland from hotels located on Long Beach, just go to the Tran Hung Dao road and find the zigzag lanes on the side of the road. This is a free bus stop. The schedule can be found at the reception of your hotel.
I went first, at 9 am.
The bus did not come exactly at 9, but probably at 15 minutes past ten, and I even started to get nervous that I had misunderstood something. Most likely the schedule is indicated by the final stop, or maybe they are just so unpunctual. Tickets are sold directly on the bus, a ticket for an adult costs 500.000 dong. In addition to this money, you will need a towel, 20 thousand (or 10? ) for a luggage room and money for food and water. Everything else is free, namely, a water park, an amusement park, a play area (machines), an oceanarium, a fountain show. In addition, a 4D cinema was built. Dolphinarium and Ferris wheel did not work. Perhaps all this is already working.

Information for those who smoke - there is only one smoking room in Vinperland, located in the water park, in the area of hill 15.
The ride is not very long, at first the bus often stops, picking up passengers, and then it goes quite cheerfully. I photograph the schedule "back" right at the driver, and the bus itself, in order to be sure to find it in the evening.
There are no people at all, except for those who came with me, and while I'm taking pictures of everything around, they are already dissolving somewhere. This is an enchanting feeling - you are alone in the amusement park)
The renovation on the main street spoils the impression a bit. Just on this day, huge trees are planted, having previously made holes in the asphalt.
Winperland in Phu Quoc only opened a year ago, but since then someone has scratched their heads and decided that the asphalt on the main street is good, but the trees are more fun.
Of course, I have nothing against landscaping, but I wanted to take a picture of this wonderful town without builders)
Right away, I just walk around with my mouth open, trying to figure out what I need the fastest, circling between rides,
I go into the aquarium and disappear.
I really like what I see there, and most importantly, I really, really like the loneliness in such a place. Me and the fish. And nobody.
By 11 am, people gather in the main hall for a mermaid show.
This is very cool!
After the show, I once again walk and wander among the fish and reptiles and I really like it.
The relaxation zone is especially impressive (I defined it this way for myself) - a pond with carps, a bridge, a tree, a waterfall. Beautiful and very unusual.
I don't want to leave, but I understand that it will be very hot soon and I will urgently need to go to the water park. And there is so much more to explore!
I decide to look into the play area.
There are a lot of slot machines, there are practically no visitors, I don’t want to play.
If only I knew a little more about it. Or I knew how to ask) I try to throw a ball, pull out a toy with a crab (yeah, no matter how, I'm interested to see at least one person in the world who pulled it out), I ride a virtual machine. Boring.
Outside, the sun is already shining with might and main. I cautiously look at different slides. Here on the Ferris wheel I would ride!
I ride on cars, on some other attraction for the little ones and decide on a carousel. I've never ridden a merry-go-round in my life, I don't think so. There is still no one around and the carousel is launched for me alone. An idiot's dream came true.
I avoid other attractions, they seem scary to me, I just walk among them and admire the territory.
When it got really hot, it was the turn of the water park.
There is a left-luggage office, it is paid. Towels are available for rent, also for a fee.
I have a towel and even a large pareo, so I don’t take their towels, I’m afraid of some completely inadequate deposit what if someone still slams this towel. There are no changing rooms, only showers.
I manage to change clothes there without loss) I hand over my backpack, leaving a small handbag for myself. It contains money for a snack, a pareo, a light shirt with a sleeve so that the shoulders do not burn, and a small towel. I hang the key to the storage room around my neck.
Of course, the water park is simple, but quite beautiful.
I ride the sea wave and the lazy river. Hills also scare me. Perhaps I lack a partner who would dispel doubts.
A lazy river encircles a small island, on which a small cafe is located. In the middle of the day I go there for lunch, but there is not much to eat there. I buy an expensive sandwich, stuff it into myself with difficulty, remembering with bitter tears the amazingly delicious sandwich on the Marble Mountains. Despite the fact that the cafe is located right in the middle of the water park, the visitors are dressed, that's just what I needed and a shirt with a sleeve and a pareo)
By the way, the Vietnamese generally bathe dressed.
At one point in the smoking room, a conversation is struck up with an Englishman who invites me to join them on the slides, but I culturally refuse. In general, I'm not such a coward, but here I'm all alone and suddenly an injury or some other trouble. I'm afraid in general.
Slides in Vinperland, according to the methods of rolling from them, are divided into several types:
1 Bun for four
2. No bun
On the mat, facing forward.
There are also plenty of single and double buns, but they are ridden below - on a lazy river and on a sea wave. Here I am riding. The idea comes to my mind to move down this hill on the rug face forward, but very quickly leaves. I imagined how scared I would be at the very top and I would have to get down from there in disgrace))
In general, before I had time to swim enough, the sun began to set and I hurried to change clothes. I leave in a couple of minutes, and here is the show. Everything is very cute and quite primitive.
Soon, songs and dances will move to the central square, a lot of fairy-tale characters will dance and take pictures with visitors. And I'm leaving on a train to ride around the park.
The train makes its first stop near the aquarium, I'm not going to get off, but they actively hint to me that everyone has arrived, the final one.
Of course I go there again, I really liked it. And for a very long time, this is the third time, I wander around the corridors and I don’t want to leave again.
It becomes completely empty and I go out into the street. It's almost dark, suddenly out of nowhere, among the rides, an excavator appeared and let's dig the asphalt! And what does it itch with this asphalt)
I admire the sunset all alone. The park is very poorly lit.
I'm leaving again for the main square, beautiful lighting turns the town into a real fairy tale.
It's about time to eat properly, but I don't feel hungry at all. I sit and think about how to pass the time.
There are fun races on the square - visitors ride double bicycles. It’s boring for me to look at this, but I’m too lazy to participate.
I really want to go back to the aquarium, but I'm not sure if they are still open at this time, and I don't have the strength to go back and forth through the entire park, so I'm going to take a seat at the fountain show. Except me, no one is in a hurry to take a seat, let the mosquitoes devour it, they probably think such a hurry) And the mosquitoes are happy to try, they bite me from all sides even before the show starts.
What a show it was! Even if I didn’t see anything but fountains, it was worth paying 500 thousand dong. This is good! So majestic that goosebumps.
The only pity is that they show the coolest composition at the beginning.
I was waiting for something even more grandiose at the end, but I waited for "Kalinka-Malinka". Cool)
It was possible to stay for one more fountain show, but midges gnawed me, despite the fact that I wrapped myself in a pareo all over, including my heels, right up to my neck) Therefore, I go to look for my bus.
Buses pick up passengers in the same place where they landed, although not necessarily at the same place. Therefore, it would be nice to have a business card of the hotel with you, it helps not to get into someone else's bus. Well, suddenly you didn’t take a picture of yours)
I only have time to buy some water as the bus is already right there.
I'm going home half asleep. I am surprised at the brightly lit houses of Fukuoka people. The houses stand along the road, they don’t have a front wall at all, and at a glance, the owner is in a hammock, the hostess is on the porch and a TV. Invariably, the TV stands on a carved wooden pedestal. There is no furniture other than a hammock, and the TV stand is a work of art.
