Young people in Hanoi have rushed to a unique glamping site at the 65-floor Lotte Centre in Hanoi. A neologism ‘glamping,’ a combined word of ‘glamorous’ and ‘camping,’ has been made since a few years ago. Glamping is where stunning nature meets modern luxury. It’s a way to experience the untamed and completely unique parts of the world - without having to sacrifice creature comforts. The glamping movement is growing, and it’s showing no signs of slowing down. Glamping today encompasses many accommodation experiences. The collection of tents, villas, cabins, lodges, tipis and treehouses and more will encourage vacationers to travel outside the norm. (Photo: VietnamPlus)
