In Tan Binh District of Ho Chi Minh City, there's an indoor beach caf\u00e9 \"Coffee House Vietnam\" where the floor is filled with 15 centimeters of white sand and even the sound of waves plays. It's a setup where you take off your shoes, sink your feet into the sand, and savor a seaside mood with a drink in hand. Each floor has a beach or forest theme, with the sound of waves and birdsong reinforcing that atmosphere. It's drawing buzz on social media as a rare place where you can enjoy the feel of a sandy beach while in the city.<\/p>\n
The shop is at 231 Cong Hoa Street in Tan Binh District, Ho Chi Minh City, in an area also close to the airport. Its biggest feature is the 15-centimeter-thick white sand spread across the floor. You take off your shoes, sink your feet into the sand, and enjoy a drink while burying your toes. The seaside feel, hard to believe is indoors, draws surprise from visitors.<\/p>\n
Each floor has a beach or forest theme, with the sound of waves or birdsong playing to match. You can choose your spot by mood \u2014 a floor to savor the openness of the seaside, or a floor to soak in the quiet of the forest. Combining sound and the feel of sand creates a resort feel that isn't just visual.<\/p>\n
Beach caf\u00e9s that lay sand on the floor have become one popular genre in Ho Chi Minh City. For example, on Le Van Luong Street in District 7, there's a shop that brought in over 5 tons of white sand from Nha Trang and laid 20 centimeters of it, with fish tanks built under the seats so you can watch fish swim at your feet. Each shop asserts its own character by competing in staging both sandy beach and underwater.<\/p>\n
