11.01.09 – So you may have seen OneVietnam’s new rocking video featuring one of the most beautiful cities in the world – Nha Trang. As one of VN’s top vacation spots, Nha Trang offers incredible beach resorts with amenities and entertainment second to none.
But Nha Trang only represents a small glimpse of the richness and natural beauty in Vietnam. Stay tune for more exciting videos from OneVietnam, as we take you on an exhilarating cultural experience of a lifetime.
As the tourism industry in Vietnam expands, businessmen are coming up with novel ways to attract customers. Spa’s will never be the same again – or will it…? Visitors in Ha Noi can now enjoy a new relaxation method called FISH massage. Yes, those high omega-3 creatures you put in delicious nori and rice rolls now serve as your personal masseuse.
As an avid traveler and adventurist, I am always looking for a new experience. Perhaps this is why a fishy spa package may seem so attractive. Apparently fish massage originated in Turkey where certain freshwater fish were used for treating skin illnesses. This ancient medical practice has evolved into a new popularized business model.
The first and only spa in Ha Noi is the Sakura Spa in Binh Dinh District. Since its grand opening in September, it has a constant flow of about 40 customers a day. At Sakura Spa, fish massage is part of a US$20 massage package featuring other amenities such as sauna, bathing in hot/cold jacuzzi, and body massage. Upon submerging one’s feet or body, thousands of small fish swarms over the submerged area, nibbling at it. This new massage technique has been reported to help remove dead skin.
These special fish are imported from Turkey and are very well kept. The owner reports that he has to buy about 1,000 new fish every 2 months to replace the dead ones.
Sakura Spa has attracted customers from all over. Many have travelled from Ho Chi Minh city to enjoy this new relaxation method. Looks like fun!
