Three Major District Highlights (The 3 Districts)
Ocean Park 1 (Downtown): This is the earliest developed area with the most mature living functions. The biggest highlight is the 6.1-hectare Crystal Lagoon, the only artificial saltwater lake in Vietnam, with a beach made from real white sand brought in from the seaside. Next to it is a 24.5-hectare freshwater pearl lake (Ngoc Trai Lake), where you can experience kayaking or have a BBQ on the beach.
Ocean Park 2 (Midtown) - VinWonders Wave Park: Here you will find the world's largest artificial wave park (Royal Wave Park), featuring six wave pools with wave heights reaching up to 3 meters, as well as water slides and beach play areas, making it a perfect summer getaway.
Ocean Park 3 (Uptown) - VinWonders Water Park: This area focuses on "Paradise Bay," featuring interconnected indoor and outdoor swimming pools and giant water slides, allowing for water fun regardless of the weather.
Mega Grand World Hanoi (Must-Visit New Landmark) Located between Ocean Park 2 and 3, this is a super complex that combines shopping, entertainment, and dining, divided into two main areas:
The Venice: Inspired by Venice, Italy, a canal over 800 meters long runs through it, flanked by colorful European-style buildings. Visitors can take a Gondola ride while listening to the gondolier sing, with street performers on both sides, creating a romantic atmosphere.
K-Town: Mimicking the atmosphere of Hongdae and Itaewon in Seoul, filled with traditional Korean-roofed buildings and modern neon lights, it is a great place to enjoy Korean cuisine and shop for Korean goods.
Visiting Tips
Transportation Marvel VinBus: The most economical way to get from downtown Hanoi to Ocean City is by taking the VinBus electric bus. This is also Vietnam's first smart electric bus, environmentally friendly, and offers free WiFi on board.

There are also free internal shuttle buses within the park that run between the three areas.
